CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO
March 31.-Counsel for Leo "
Brothers, charged with the murder
Of Alfred j. Lingle, opened the st.
Louis gunman's defense today by
challenging the testimony of state
witnesses that Brothers ran from
the subway where the reporter was
killed.
The defense's second witness,
Lawrence O'NIaIley, a switchman,
testified that he saw Lingle shot
last June and that Brothers was
not the slayer. O'NIalley was the
first witness produced by either side
who testified that he saw the actual
shooting.
O'Malley testified he went
through the Illinois subway when
Lingle was murdered and was six
feet from the slayer.
Louis Piquett, defense attorney,
had Brothers stand up before the
witness chair.

Q-Ts this the man you saw shoot
Lingle? A-No, sir.
Q-You're absolutely positive the
man who fired the shot was not Leo

Q-Did he in any way resemble
Brothers? A-No, not in any way I
know of.
O'MalIey said he did not notify
the police because Il owned my own
home, made big money and didn't
want to be bothered by any gang

On cross-examination by G. Way
land Brooks, assistant states attor-
ney, o. Malley admitted having
known Piquett for seven or nine
years.
Testifes Seeing Man
Harry j. O'Connor, real estate
salesman, testified he also was at
the subway when Lingle was killed.
He said he was inside the tunnel
when a man ran out shielding his
face with lis hat. He said some
one cried out, stop that man.
Brothers again crossed over be-
fore the witness box. PiQuett asked
ii Brothers ran from the tunnel

/ replied. Il wouldn't say he was that
tall. That's all I can say"
Albert Stein of the county re-
corder's office said he was with
O'Connor and Harry Cain en- route
to the Washington Park race track
and went through the tunnel.

BIZ Untcd Press
PHILADELPHIA. March 81. 49,
Eyes which never saw brought new
sensations and revelations beyond
expression today to Earl Mussel-
man, %, whose vision has been
made by the skill of a surgeons
knife. He was born blind.
The color of flowers and the gen.
eral appearance Of human beings
now seem to hold the most attrac-
ton for this youth who was born
blind and who learned to know peo-
pie and objects by sound and touch.
NGusselman was born without pu-
pills in his eyes Six weeks ago DR..
@. II. Moore, a specialist on the
staff OF the Graduate hospital, per-
formed an operation. Monday the
bandages were removed
Musselman beheld a new world,
"a world of color sensations in
which years of stored up magma
ton became real, and many i'm
pressions were found to be wrong.
q" Was Completely Fooled
Z was completely fooled. " he said.
Il thought L knew what it was all
about as tie saying goes, but was
wrong.
THE way bricks are set in a
building, the way one color is diff
ferent from another and one shade
blenos into another; the way trolley
tracks run raight beside each other
ana the way they shine; the way a
horse and motor vehicle move; it's
all wonderful.
Imagination Uan in no way con-
vey an idea of color Of the vivid
Beauty of flowers. had tried to fix
colors in my mind from descriptions
= by teachers and friends who could
see, but my conception Of them was
dull and drab compared to the Won
derful colors can see now"
Must Learn COlOrs' Names
OF course. NTusselman is not able
to associate the various color
sensations with names. That is one
of the things he will have to learn
Physicians expressed the belief
that he viii learn as much in three
months about reading and writing
as a child starting to school would
learn in six years.
When Nusselman looked at him
self in o mirror he jokingly re-
marked that he Cooked something
like he thought a monkey looked u
. But he admitted that everybody, in
Tcluding himself, was better looking
than his mind picture of them.
Operation Was Delicate One
D. w. Laubach, an uncle of Mus
selman with whom he lived here,
interested DR.. Moore in the case.
After a long period of observation,
Or. Moore agreed to undertake the
operation.
He cut into the youths eyes
opening false pupils" and folding
back the delicate filaments Of tissue
so that the tiny aperture would re-
main open. Because of the compli-
cations he had to cut deeply into
the iris and scrape away the film
over the Cyeball
For six weeks after the opera
ton NIusselman wore tight band
ages over his eyes.
Hes a fine boy" DR.. Moore said,
always patient and cheerful and
hoping that some day he would be
able to see like other boys"

A representative of the Red Cross,
Ernest J. Swift, will leave Wash

Efforts were being made to estab-
