the former prize fighters three
sisters, was to take the witness
stand against her brother and was
scheduled to give the most import

Weaving a chronological story Of
the asserted Staying by Mccoy OF

Mccoy in an intoxicated condition
and took him to the death apart
ment." At the time, the State will
assert, Mrs. Mors was dead on the
apartment floor.

apartment but left Mccoy at the
door.
Mrs. Thomas, before she took
the stand, said she would tell the
same story she told the grand jury
which investigated the murder, re.
lating the visit to her home Of
Mccoy the night Of the crime.
At that time, according to Mrs.
Thomas original story. the former
fighter was under the influence Of

when Norman came in he said
he wanted to say goodby as he
had nothing to live for and was
going to kill himself" was the
sisters testimony before the grand
jury.
Mind Was Shattered.
"He kept telling me over and
over again, 'good.by, good-by.' 1
imagined he had had some kind Of
trouble with Mrs. Mors and he
said he had harmed her or some
thing, couldn't say which. He
told me to tell everyone he was
going to die game.
"Norman's mind was shattered
at the time"
Mrs. Thomas was expected to
describe from the stand the writing
Of win by Mccoy at her home in
which all his property was left to
her. She also will be asked. the
district attorney said, concerning
jewels reported worth $4,000
which belonged to Mrs. Mors and
which were left with her by Nc.
Coy, according to the prosecution
charges.
Officer r. l.. Kritzer, who ar.
rested Mccoy, will testify as to
the defendants remarks at the
time he was taken into custody as

smoking pistol after shooting three
persons in Mrs. Mors antique shop
the morning the body Of his sweet
heart was found.
