DEDHAM, Mass, June 27-George
A. Douglas, counsel for Norma Millen,
today contended in his closing argu-
ment that Saul Messenger Of New
York, and not the defendant, should
be charged with being an accessory tc
robbery and murder and that he could
show the district attorney how Mes
singer could be indicted.
Douglas beloved accusations against
the Brooklyn, N. Y, man who was a
star witness for the State in both
Norma'S trial and the trial of her
husband and his two confederates.
Norma is charged with being an
accessory after the fact of the rob-
berry of the Needham Trust Co. and
the Staying of two policemen.
Saul Messenger, the attorney said.
was not only an accessory after the
fact but, in my opinion, he was worse
than an accessory.
This defendant should not be in
dicated as an accessory after the
fact, but Messenger should be charged
with that"
The presentation Of evidence was
closed with three witnesses taking
the stand after Norma had testified
for less than an hour today.
She had been on the stand con-
tinually for more than two days,
and the lines of her face suggested
the mental agony she had endured
She was weeping and using smell
ing salts as her attorney made his
last bid for her freedom
Douglas contended that everything
Norma did she did in the presence of
her husband Murton and that under
the law of coercion she could not
be held accountable tor these actions
Abiding scornfully to Messenger,
Douglas produced letter which had
been introduced by the State and said
that in his opinion it was boom
erang" The letter said: Tear up
Murt's letter as it contains evidence" :"
1t had been addressed to Messenger.
Il can't conceive how any wit
ness can take this stand and have
the effrontery and nerve TO try to
deny that he didn't know what that
letter meant.
He knew that they were out
numbering and committing robbery.
The letter comes pretty near show
ing who was handling affairs. Norma
did what Murton told her and Moth
