CHAPMAN JURORS

man if he thought the child stood in
his way" Mr.. Crockett joins with
Thomas S. Rourke of KNOXVILLE in
explaining just what points swayed
them to name Chapman as the gull
ty man.
Two of the main points in the case
in the minds of the jurors. were
the alibi offered by Chapman and
the testimony of Lillian knell. / j
years old waitress. at the Old Col
ony Inn in Meriden.
Speaking Of the alibi the jurors
state that had Frederick J. Groehl
of New York, senior counsel for
Chapman, accounted for the where
abouts of Chapman during the sew
eral hours after the time spoken of
in the alibi, the jurors would have
been led TO believe that the albi had
some weight. Mr.. Rourke laid en-
phasis on this point and also on the
fact that the alibi was offered by
Lyle G. Chastain, a convict friend
of Chapman who represented him
self as a cigar store owner in Brook
Ign. He claimed to have been a
nurse to Chapman in Atlanta peni-
tertiary. The alibi placed Chapman
in Brooklyn in the early hours Of
the night but there it stopped Civ
ing no information as to where he
spent the time following his alleged
visit there.
According to the jurors. the per-
son who gave the most damaging
Lillian knell. Presenting a pitiful
picture in the witness stand. the IS
year old girl with trembling lips and
showing evidences of a strain which
rbordcred on hysteria. stuck to her
story of seeing Chapman and Shean
stop at the inn and hire a room for
the night The thunder of Judge
Groehl's cross examination could
not shake the girls story despite the
fac. that she was so frightened that
she had to have water before she
could find her voice.
Another whose words helped to
convince the jurymen Of Chapmans
presence in the local store that fate
full Sunday morning was Henry Hell
Ter of this city who testified that he
had seen Chapman come out of the
place with a gun in his hand. An
other point was the presence on the

She'll Be Divorced Soon

Cannes. France, Jan. lR)-Mary
Hay, well known motion picture
actress, told the Associated Press to-
day that she does not expect to be
granted a divorce from Richard
Barthelmess until about February 10.
Premature reports that the di-
vorce Of the two prominent movie
figures already was an accomplished
fact We're erroneous. They referred
merely to that part of the divorce
procedure in France known as the
attempt at reconciliation in which
both Miss Hay and Barthelmess
agreed to part.
My husband is one Of my best
friends" said Miss Hay. I'VE will
both be happier when this episode is
ended and neither of us is attempt
ing to conceal the divorce"
