Willard started his opening at
1876 d. m. Immediately after Ed.
gar r. Hazleton, attorney for Mrs.
Ruth Brown Snyder. had made the
opening statement for her.
Miller a tail, 1oose-limbed man,
with q quiet voice, told the jury
that ''tne defendant Gray" will take
the stand, and present you the
most tragic story that has ever

that ever befell to man to submit
to In a court OF justice.
Talks Only IL Minutes
Miller talked for only II minutes.
He said that there was nothing the
defense wished in this case more
than the truth--"the story, the
naked truth"
He said that he would prove that
the confession obtained by the au-
thorities from Gray was obtained by
duress, compulsion, threat and force.
''There will be presented to you
evidence that the defendant was not
and could not have been of rational
mind at the time this alleged crime
is alleged to have been committed .
Miller told the jury.

the defendant never conceived, never
realized, never comprehended what
his hands were doing.
I'VE will prove that the defendant
was driven into this tragedy by an
act not hts own. dominated by will
not his own, controlled by brain
not his own, commanded by a brain
not his own, and powerless to strug-
gle against that controlling super
power, which was gripping him and
driving and directing his energies
and his facilities
Confessed to be Free,
Miller said Gray struggled to
loosen himself from this domination
and from the catastrophe it was
leading him into, but without avail.
"There could never have been any
motive on the part of the defendant
Gray. there could never have been
an attempt on the part of Gray,
or q brutal instinct in his mind
to permit such a crinls were he OF

The spectators stood UP 10

They even sat on each others
laps.
Pickpockets were operating.

Repulsed Her Love
Three months after Mrs. Snyder
was married she attempted to "be-
stow love and affection upon her
husband" Hazleton said, but he ere

"Why," declared Hazleton. ''The
deceased even went so far as to
name his boat after his former

Mrs. Snyder nodded her blonde

''She bore him a chiid-a child that

She had that child to see il it could

No Happiness Followed
Hazelton said for a time ''the little

He said the child annoyed the father

over the baby.

Hazelton said, but things in the

"All love was lost" Hazelton
said.
Mrs. Snyder remained faithful to
