MOrs to Testify.
Among them were Albert A. Mors,
former husband of the dead woman
and until their recent divorce her
partner in the antique business; Mrs.
Iva Martin, occupant of the apart
ment below that in which the shoot
ing occurred. who insists she saw
Mors leaving the building immedi-
ately after the fatal shot was fired !;
several detectives, who insist she
must have been mistaken: William G..

it Wednesday morning. and Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Schapp, the other two VIC
tins of the shopping district shoot

them out and shot them because they
encouraged reconciliation between
Mr.. and Mrs. Mors
Out of the testimony of these and
other witnesses District Attorney
Asa Keys confidently predicts, will
develop an Indictment charging Nc
Coy with the murder of Mrs Mors
McCoy's sister, Mrs. Jennie Thomas,
already has told the grand jury of
an alleged confession made by her
brother while the body Of Mrs. Mors
was yet warm.
Suicide or Murder.
Mccoy says that Mrs. Mors killed
herself in his presence in the apart
ment they had been occupying as
"Mr. and Mrs. N. Shields" for about
a month, but the version on which
the district attorney expects the
grand jury to base its indictment
is that the former idol of the prize
ring killed the wealthy divorcee in
uHhSH rage WHeH SHe GOlO MIN SQe
would not marry him.
The testimony of Mrs. Martin is ex-
pected to prove important, despite
the fact that police disagree with her
identification of Mors as the man
she saw leaving the apartment.
Detectives point out that her story
of woman's screams issuing from the
death room about midnight, closely
followed by a pistol shot and the
noise of one or two men leaving the
place, helps to fix the time of the
shooting and to establish it as a case
of homicide, not suicide.
Alienists yesterday put a serious
obstacle in the way of any attempt
to free Mccoy on an insanity plea,
when two of three specialists sent
into the suspects cell by the district
attorney reported him entirely sane.

Dr. Krohn once found occasion to
