his employment record Holiday
said he had worked on boats and
as a bus-boy and waiter. In the
last several years he has been a
professional gambler. His opera
tons carried him about the coun-
try and he worked as a "stick

He admitted knowing Holt for a

shot Holt in self-defense. Accord

confession, allegedly written by
Holiday in the county Jail June

Sheriff Charles M. Combs. This
confession substantiated the first

generalization.
According to the Indictment
Holiday is accused of committing
murder while in the preparation
of a felony. A first-degree sent
ence, carrying death in the electric
chair is mandatory when a murder
is premeditated or when a muir
der is committed during a felony.
The state admitted they had no
actual witnesses, but were relying
on circumstantial evidence to
prove first degree murder. The
court ruled that the state had
proved with "some" evidence that
there was intent and premedita-
ton.
There was only stiffness as Hoi-
day took the stand to be interro-
gated by one of his attorneys,
Clarence Stewart; Holiday said he
was forty-one, had been to high
school in Chicago, was born in
Tennessee and had been in Dayton
only seven or eight days prior to
the shooting. He stopped in Day
