He characterised his treatment by the court and prosecutor as a "persecution, not prosecution": declared that his at torney had been "bound and gagged by rulings of the court." and that his trial for the killing of Copeland had. In reality, been turned Into a preliminary hearing of the divorce case brought by John W. Fprlnger against his wife. SUH "Springer" Be. Friend."

U Von I'hul were placed on the prosecutor's table In plain view and she was confronted with a threat that they would be read In open court If she testified to any facts In my behalf. Not only this, but her otherwise keen mind waa dulled by drugs." "I am now ready for your unjust sentence." he concluded. Court Calls Verdict Just.

"I am of the opinion that the verdict of the Jury In your case should have been first degree murder. I believe you shot Von Phul because of Jealousy over Mrs. Springer, but for some reason the lurors returned a finding of second legree murder. The law leaves the sentence to be Imposed In the discretion 3f the court. It Is the opinion of this court that you shall be imprisoned In the penitentiary at Canon City for life."
