legged Shooting Of Mrs.
Mors Is Denied
CONTINUED from First Page.)

= Continued from First Page.)
SON for delay at this time and we
will oppose any effort whatsoever to
secure continuance Of the case"
Mccoy, the prosecution will at
tempt to show, slew Mrs. Mors in
the apartment they occupied under
the name of Shields, in the Noting
ham apartments, because he feared
that he was about to lose her az
fections, and because under the
terms OF Mrs. Mors' separation
agreement from her husband, Nc
Coy could enjoy none Of her wealth
II he married her.
Residents to Testify.
In support Of the murder theory,
several witnesses, residents in the
Nottingham apartments, are to be
called upon to testify that they
heard a woman's frightened scream
on the night Of the killing, and
later heard sounds described as
those apt to be made by a man
running down the nan and stairs.
Mrs. Mors' jewels, said to be
worth $50, 900, are to be introduced
as evidence against Mccoy, together
with the testimony Of the accused
mans sister thar Mccoy placed
them In her possession subsequent
to the alleged murder and that nc
told her, in effect, that he feared
he had killed Mrs. Mors.
McCoy's alleged statement at the
| time of his asserted hold-up OF
the Mors antique shop, the day after
the killing, that he was "bounf
| for the electric chair and proposed
to take with him all who had any

who were subjected to McCoy's al
legged banditry on that occasion, Il

Insanity Plea Denied.
While it was admitted by defense
attorneys that dispositions had beer
taken having to do with McCOy's
hereditary relations to q possible in
sanity defense, it was denied thai

POOLE To FACE
JURY ON GIRL s
CHARGES
Brother Of Irene MelIott Also
to Be Tried at Once for
Capital Offense

Charged with a capital offense
against pretty fourteen-year-old Irene
Mellott, Of Buck Lodge, Montgom-

q middle-aged widower Of the upper
section Of Montgomery county and
the father of grown daughters, will
be placed on trial in the circuit
court at Rockville tomorrow.
At the same time the girls
twenty-two-year-old brother, Ralph
w. Mellott. will be- placed on trial.
it being alleged that he also NAL
treated his sister. If neither pleads
guilty, the case Of the boy may not
be reached until Wednesday.
Although there are nine indict-
ments against Poole all charging
similar offenses against the girl, it
Is not thought that he will be
called to answer but one. The in
dictments against Poole charge the
alleged offenses began In 1922 or
when the girl was but twelve years
Of age, some of them while he
was q boarder in the Mellott home.
Irene's alleged intimacies will
Poole and her brother were dis.
closed recently when the girl paid
q visit to brother in Johnstown,
Pa.
A short time after the dis.
closures by his daughter and the
arrest of his son and. Poole, Jacob
s. Mellot, a respected citizen, COL
lapsed under the strain and died
from apoplexy after an illness of
only q few days.
The charge of incest against the
brother Is one Of g. very few Of its
kind ever preferred in Montgomery
county. Death or life imprison-
ment is the penalty provided by
law for such an offense.
1t will be contended at the trial,
1t is understood, that before Poole
made and signed statement. now
In the possession OF the States at.
torney, he was subjected to a cruel
beating and other "third degree
treatment. A member Of the Mont.
gomery county police force, now
under suspension, is under indict.
ment as a result Of the alleged
whipping and will be tried at the

SLAYER FROM
KIN Of DEAD
Attempt of>Life OF Haarmann,
Slayer Of .27 Boys,

HANOVER, Germany, Dec. g.
Twice he called for a minister to
onfess, and each time the clergy
IAN refused to answer, Fritz
faarmann, man of many muir
ders. revealed in court today.
This assertion was confirmed
by police witnesses and the in
spectors who led the investigation
into Haarmann's twenty-seven
killings.
Seen As Tool or Grams
Testimony Of police seemed to
support the impression that Haar-
Imam was a tool in the hands of
Hans Grams, his alleged accomplice,
who play on Haarnann's abnormal
ity and weak win.
HaArmann's former landlady Frau
Seemann, testified that six years
ago, she heard a sound of hacking in
Haarmann's room and that later he
gave her bones with flesh on them,
as stew meat.
She said the flesh looked strangely
white when boiled and nauHAAtad
her when she ate it,
HFuman Bones Removed.
To the testimony of two scientists
who examined bottles containing fat
| and testified 1t was impossible. to
determine whether it was human,
Haarmann bowed his mock graft
tude and said: Thank you"
The Judge ordered the removal
OF the human bones, huge box Of
which has stood in front Of the
bench.
Altogether 1876 witnesses win be
heard. including the fathers, moth
ers, brothers and sisters Of most of
the twenty-seven youths he Is
charged with butchering.
Threaten SIayer's Life.
Public excitement was at fever
pitch today because OF persistent
rumors that the relatives OF some
Of the victims had solemnly sworn
to take justice into their own hands,
and kill Haarmann If the slightest
opportunity presents.
A broad backed policeman stood
in front Of Hartmann today.

All Of the witnesses today. even

searched for weapons. The police
guards about the old court building
were tripled.
Press Carries Details.
The judge and prosecutor both
have begged the press to refrain
from giving pathological and revolt
ing details with which the German
newspapers have been replete,
while the foreign correspondents,
particularly the American. have
avoided the theme Of immortality.
The judge is swamped with re.
quests Of women's clubs and moral
societies tosexclude the public from
/ the hearings so as to prevent
