TESTIMONY GIVEN
IN MOSH|ER CASE
Or. WELLER STATES TURTLES
MUTlLATED BODY OF
KENYON BOY

Tawas City. Mich. Oct. 10-AP-
The thrice-postponed trial of Mrs
Winifred Moshier. 34-year-old moth
er of three children. on charges she
murdered 10-year-old Bobby Kenyon
in 1886 because he called her names
and stoned her cattle went into its
second day today.
Thirteen witnesses testified Wed
nesday with the high-light coming
when DR.. Carl Weller, University
OF Michigan pathologist. reported
that the Kenyon boys death was
homicidal and that struggle pre-
coded death.
DR.. Weller also said that an au-
topsy OF one of two turtles discov-
cred in the pond in which the Ken
yon boys body was found indicated
that turtles. and not the murderer,
were responsible for mutilation Of
the corpse.
The confession which the state
clf inns Mrs. Moshier made entered
into afternoon sessions when Sgt.
Hiram Crimson OF the state police
told how Mrs. Moshier detailed her
story TO capt. Joseph -Kcarney- of
tn state police after she had gone
to Bay City to talk 10 what she
thought would be a detective story
writer.
SGT Crimson identified the con-
fession as the one Mrs. Moshier
signed.
The possibility that the death
weapon which DR.. Weller de-
scribed as a dull knife-had been
discovered arose when Ruben Hink-
ley. present tenant on the farm the
Moshiers occupied at the time OF
the urder. reported finding three
knives on the premises last year.
Hinkley said that two were but
cher knives and one intended for
cutting bread He said one had
been partially burned.

Washington, Oct. 10 ms -
President Roosevelt swings out
tonight on two-day tour OF the
Industrial areas of Pennsylvania
and Ohio that will eliminate Sat
urday evening in Dayton with one
of his major radio addresses.
The trip is billed as an inspec-
ton Of national defense facilities
and the Dayton address is held by
White House aides to be non-poli-
teal. By its nature as outlined in
advance. however. 1t would appear
that Saturday nights speech will
be the Presidents principal ex-
position during the current cam
paign of his position on foreign
affairs.
White House Secretary Stephen
T. Early said the address would
be factual report, in narrative
style, of Mr.. Rocsevelt's moves to
date in the interests OF national
defense and his plans for the fu-
ture. II Is regarded by administra-
ton officials to be sufficiently i'm
portant to warrant its broadcast
to the other 90 republics OF This
hemisphere and Canada, as we'll as
to the United States on all three
major radio chains.
With the situation in the Far
East threatening an explosion at
any time, the Presidents utter
ances will be followed closely by
many who study international de-
velopments. Republican Presiden-
tial Nominee Wendell Willkie, in
his foreign affairs speech few
nights ago, accused the President
of playing politics with national
defense, and the politicians arc
waiting 10 see II there will be an
answer 20 this charge.
