FRED C. WHEELER
 OPENS DEFENSE
Former Rich Cattle Deal. CT Begins Battle for
 His Freedom

Farmington, Me, December 1 - (Up)-Fred c. Wheeler, 80, pros- porous Farmington cattle dealer opened his defense today to charges that he murdered Shapely 20-year- old Florence BuZsell with target pistol last June z.
 The first of 90 defense witnesses was called before Superior Judge Albert Bellveau and Jury that in- cludes one woman as Wheeler sought to prove that the blonde busiAess college student took her own life because he refused further financial support after payinV for her education.
 Eisht-year-old John Buzzell, jr, was expected to tell of incidents leading to his aunts death Ns the trial entered It's second week. He was one of a half-dozen persons on his fathers farm the afternoon when Mss Bu2zells body was found in Q hillside pasture with a ,22 cah- Der bullet wound In her forehead,
 Facing life imprisonment if con- victed, the shrewd Yankee trader appeared cooly indifferent in the country courtroom, so crowded that spectators were seated on milking stools and empty nall kegs.
 Wife By Ills Side
 Ills matronly wife Edith was seated close to the prisoners box, her loyalty unwavering despite tes- timony of 6 series of state witnesses who described gay drinking parties and apartment rendezvous in which Wheeler and Miss BuzZell allegedly were participants
 During the trial, Mrs. Wheeler had set up an improvised kitchen In her husbands jail cell, cooking tempting steaks and chops on an electric grill to supplant the simple jail fare.
 Defense Attorney Benjamin 1er- man, contending the case was one of suicide, said the state had pro- Guced nothing but a fog" It was expected he would pin much of his case on the medical testimony of two state witnesses who said the girls death wound might have been self inflicted.
 Wheeler, himself, planned to tes- tify that he had no intimate rela- tions with the victim whom he had given several" thousand dollars for her education at Gates Business College at Augusta,
 It was his contention that he tried to persuade Miss Buzzell they should part because of the differ ence In their ages but that Florence did not want to give up the chance of attending Boston University, having & new auto ard a trip to Pittsburgh, Pa.
