N. Cissel and Rules two attorneys,
Barnard Welsh and Thomas L. Daw-
son. of Rockville.
The second trial, granted by the
Maryland Court of Appeals on writs
based on errors, consumed almost
exactly the same time, having been
begun Monday morning and ending
at S:45 last night.
Step by step the second trial fol-
lowed the first. almost word for
word In the testimony and in the
arguments Of the opposing counsel.
The defense contended that Rule
was within his right when he shot
after an Eighteenth and Columbia
Road gang" had invaded shack
on Sligo Road owned by Rule.
Against this self-defense plea. the
prosecution based It's case on the
ground that Rule had ''defied the
laws Of God and man" in taking
the life of young Barbee, son of =
former Washington detective.
Many Witnesses Heard
Nearly a hundred witnesses were
on the stand at each trial. Chief
among them was 1S-year-old 'Sam"
Perkins, who started the alteration
that led to the shooting. when, with
the Barbee group, he had made 4
ridiculing remark about the Scotch
costume Rule wore to the shack
party.
That remark was: what no! The
JULY Scotchman!'
A fist fight resulted, according TO
testimony adduced during the trials
and it was brought out by the de.
