W illiam Stevens, the men called
“ W illie ”, spoke from the witness
stand, oh behalf of the proud
Stevens clan today.
Lucidly, emphatically and with
not a trace of the mental eccen-
u lc lty that had been attributed to
him, “ W illie ” denied that he and
his brother and sister murdered
the Rev. Edward Wheeler H all
and Mrs. Eleanor M ills, for 1 ore
o f whom be had brought shame
upon their family.
“ W illie " proved by a ll odda
bis own best witness. The Impres­
sion created by his intent, a f­
fable demeanor, his unfailing
courtesy toward the
pepperly
little prosecutor, hie occasional
flashes of w it and his obvious
sincerity were tremendously In
his favor.
This man, who had been refer­
red to M “ feeble minded,” shew­
ed a lucid mind, a nice sense of
English as It is pot always spok­
en in this melodramatic H all-

Even the unusual appearance I
ot t$e defendant, ns ddpioled in J
his .photographs, seemed to leave |
him as he testltifed for an hour
and 20 minutes. And the leering
spectators saw only a dignified
man attesting to his Innocence
and affirm ing his affection for the
murdered rector.
A t times “ W illie ’.' turned to
Judge Parker and made little In­
audible asides, amlMtyg broadly
beneath his bushy moustache.
Once he showed a flash o r tamp­
er when he told of ' vigorous
“ third degree methods used In
the dead of night by the present
Investigators.
Aa the questioning proceeded,
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall's face,
which had been.tense w ith wor­
ry as her brother walked to the
witness stand, relaxed Into a
smile. A look of confidence such
as tke accused widow has not
worn since the tria l began was *
upon her pale countenance.
