HAGERSTOWN. Md, December 9
verdict of first degree murder
Mthout capital punishment was re-
turned today by a jury in Washington
county Criminal Court against Regi'
maid E. Walters, undercover man, for
the killing of Hunter +. Stotler, west.
ern Maryland dry chief.
Walters was charged with having
KILLED his chief near Boonsboro last
July rs, when the two men had gone
out, presumably in search of illicit
mountain stills.
Plea of Self-Defense.
The prisoner based his plea on self
defense, testifying that when he ac-
cused Stotler of having improper re-
lations" with his wife, Stotler reached
Tor his gun. He said that he shot his
superior officer to protect his own
life.
The first two days of the trial.
Which opened here last Tuesday, were
spent in a legal battle between the de-
tense and the prosecution as to
whether an alleged written confession
OF the killing made by Walters short
ly after the event occurred should be
admitted. 1t was finally disbarred on
the grounds that it was made under
duress.
Tells of ApolOgizing.
After testlfying that he had accused
Stotler several times of improper con-
duct with his wife, Walters went into
great detail to explain that he had
always apologized for the accusation.
The prisoner and his wife broke
down when the jury foreman an.
nounced the verdict. The jury's de-
cision carries with it a mandatory
sentence of life Imprisonment in the
