The defense nimle twenty formal mo tion., in nil, mid the court refused te sustain any of them. The contention of tlie defense was that the testimony i of the Stiite'a witnesses was hearsay eviflence uinl net periuieui 10 wie nve defendants who are en trial en ehni-Re of murder in connection with the Her rln riots of .Tune --. In evcrrulltiR the motions .TucIre Haitwell mi id lint he did fe because of the State "theory of conspiracy, which called for the admission of testimony which did net directly concern nny one of the the defendant."

Defense Hrgiii.t Testimony After the court overruled the mo tions, the defense began presentation of evidence. Twenty -five witnesses answered the roll call, farmers, farmers' wives, farm lassjes and Uncle TInk Denehue was the first te take the stand. "Uncle Tink." is a farmer, seventy eight .rears old, n great white beard flews down bis I rick chest, find two pinpoint eyes bum from under bottling tanned brews. "Uncle Tink" Is n character here abouts, rugged and henet. Judge Hurt well calls linn "Tem Penny." tweaks his benr.l, nnd smiles "hew's the old kid," when "linle Tink," comes into the courtroom, and he's a daily visitor. "Uncle Tink"' testified te the "pence" of the cenimunitv about the strip mine prier te the rioting. He lives one and ene-rpinrter mile from the, mine. Slate's Attorney Delus Duty smiled, nnd said "no cress. enininatien." Mere than two hundred witnesses are en the defense's list, and according te Angus W. Kerr, eli'cf counsel, It will take from three te four weeks Me finish with them. Defense will endeavor te chew that the killings last June were justifiable homicides, and that the five defendants charged with the murder of Heward Heffman, one of the strip mine guards, did net participate In the rioting. De fense vill endeavor te prove that the guards or gunmen were the aggres sers and brought en nny attack that wns made upon them by their ucts of provocation. Prosecutor Pleasantly Surprised State's Attorney Deles L.

BELATED PURCHASERS OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS CITY WANTS TO FILL E its Presence Declared Barrier te Completion of Plans for Beautifying Section PARK BOARD OBJECTING A trench, severnl hundred feet long, at the head of the Tnrkway. threatens te cause nn open break between the Department of Public WerkH, which wants it filled, nnd the Fairmount Park Commission. The Park Commission Cemmission Commissien ra refuse te consent te tlie filling. Director Caven lias placed before fayer Moero n plan for filling the rencli nud completing paving of the "arkwny te the Fairmount Park en en nince whereby tlie Park Commisslon Cemmisslon Commisslen r.s' wishes would be Ignored. The trench has remained open for two years, necessitating a long detour byi motorists and proving an effective barrier te completion of the Parkwev i.v the city. EH Kirk Price, chiitrniati if the Committee en Superintendence jf the Park Commission, refuses te per mit city workmen te touch It. Cnvcn Says He Is Helpless ,The Director railed nt the fact that vvhiln he hae the money for the com pletion of the Parkway roadbed, he is helpless in his efforts te de the work which would provide n direct route from the Park entrance te City Hull. "Mr. Price has pen te ticrmll us te de the Director. "He is supposed te bridge ever the trench, making a tunnel for trolley traffic, but be hns no money with which te de the work, be that Micro is no Immedinte prospect of the detour at the head of the Parkway being cnminiuc". 1 .one- iiuj munvj " which te de the work and nm eager and ready te de It. Mr. Price, however, says no. "I nm in favor of simply going ahead nnd doing the work in spite of the refusal of the Park Commission te accede. I have spoken te the Mayer about, it, and he Is very anxious te have the detour eliminated." At present 11 motorist desiring tn enter or leave the Park nt the Orren street entrance must traverse the "gooseneck" detour. A Harrier (e Progress The presence of n trench 20 feet deep and 40 feet wide extending from Twenty-third te Twenty-fifth street bus made it impossible for the High way Hurcuii te complete the Parkway. Trelley cars. motertrucks and private automobiles dully Hcrninble nrniind the bend at Twenty-third street. Automobiles appear In both directions, whilci the trolley cars run north at that point. The nutomebiles then enter Pennsylvania avenue, which, although it bus n width of eighty feet en the city plan. Is much constricted because "smoke stacks" of the underground rnllrend iut up in the middle of the thoroughfare. The congestion en the Pcnnsvlvnniii avenue detour necessitates ceaseless ! vigilance by park guards und automobile travel is impeded by the sharp bend at Twenty-third strict and Pennsylvania avenue.
