; tne jury iu the case yesterday after-1
.lic as:.assin 8 lawyers, it
Is denounced by attorneys for the
; state as a cunning fabrication, de
; vised by the lawyer murderer In his
extremity as the only possible meth
od of saving his neck. The story Is
said to be as much an assault on
the name of the victim as an intend
ed vindication of Finch.
That Fisher practically compelled
him to shoot will be Finch's declara
tion from the witness stand, accord
ing to the opening statement present
id ly the defense, lie will tell of a
peaceful visit to Fisher, wherein he
was seeking to build up his lost repu
tation and regain the good will of
the liar Association. He wtil toll of
Fisher having a sudden and uuex
plainable fit of wrath durlug which
he attacked Finch with a notary's
seal. Driven luto a corner, desper
ately assailed by a larger man, and
finally compelled to shoot to ore-
vent his own brains from being beat
en out, that is the lurid picture as
drawn by Finch and his lawyers of
the scene In Fisher's office at the
time of the murder.
Lotko Crowds Attracted.
No murder trial of past years has
attracted so many people. Although
the curious multitude was excluded
after tho sents had all been filled,
enough persons clnimlng to be law
yers got luto the room during the af
ternoon to jam completely every Inch
of standlug room. There were uo
less than 300 persons in the spacious
courtroom and double that number
was turned away.
The completed Jury in the case is:
W. O. Abbott, E. K. Howes, .1. V.
Davis, V. K. Charlton, S. I. Ogden,
Robert Service, Charles J. liush, C.
11. Thompson, M. L. Lank, F. V.

from bo hi ml without warntntr. and.
that he foil with hid feet under his
desk and bis overturned chair beside
him; that tho bullet which caused
death ranged downward and that
there were no sounds of a quarrel
before the shouting; nor hIkhb of a
physical contest evident, waa the bur
den of the testimony presented by
the state against Klueh, w hoso trial is
now in progress.
1 bo purpose of this evidence was
introduced by the prosecution with
the apparent purpose of combatting
the contention made by Finch's coun
sel n their opentuK statement that
Finch thot In self defence durint? an I
aliercallou. and nfior ho had been
hit over tho head with a notary's
seal.
Miss Vera Hurkhnrt, Fisber'a sten
ographer, tho only eye w linens of the
tragedy, told a simple straightfor
ward story which withstood all tho
attacks of Finch's lawyers. It was
she who testified to the suddiMiness
of tho shooting. Finch Is practical
ly dlrectliiK bis own defense. lXiiitiK
the direct examination be taken!
copious notcH, and ho frames many
If not most of tho questions asked
during the cross-examination.
