April 7.—County Attorney Forrest Hughes in a signed statement to newspaper men to- day concerning his investigation of the slaying of Lieut. Col. Paul Ward Beck by Jean P. Day, prominent local lawyer and oil man, in the latter’s home here last Tuesday, said he believed Day fired in defense of his home and not of his life, and that the X-ray photograph of the dead man’s head indicated that the army officer was not looking at Day when the fatal shot was fired. Day previousty had stated that when he found Beck in the act of attempt ing to assault Mrs. Day he struck the officar on the head with a pistol after the latter had made a motion as if to strike him with his fist. Day said also that the revolver was accidentally dis charged from the impact of the biow. ‘The county attorney's statement said that before any gun was fired or any blow strack “Day saw something that swept him off his feet.” He add ed that in his opinion Judge Day had not told the whole truth concerning the tragedy. “I am frank to say.” Hughes con tinned, “that if Judge Day should tell the whole truth, no jury of red blood- ef citizens would ever render a ver dict against him. I am equally candid to say that I believe that so far, Judge Day has not told the whole truth.” ‘The handkerchief which Lieut. Col Beck clutched in his hand when the body was taken over by authorities has a signficance in the case which has been overlooked so far, the coun ty attorney said. Ho added that he did not believe there were other per. sons present at the time Beck was killed except the three principals in the tragedy and that the only purpose in bringing out the statements from other people who attended the party in the Day home which preceded the slaying was to determine the mental attitude of Day toward Beck “Previous to the shooting Day and Beck had been the best of friends,” Hughes said. “What extraordinary occurrence changed the mental condi- tion of the one toward the other? What caused Mrs. Day after the shooting to moan ‘Oh my honor?’ These two are the vital questions in the extraordi nary tragedy.” “In my opinion,” Hughes continued “there is no doubt that intoxicating liquors were indulged in at the Da: home during the fatal night an morning. However, I do not think that Judge Day was in any way un der the influence of liquor at the time the shot was fired.” ir. Hughes stated that one thing bsolutely certain” in his mind was that the gun was discharged “while immediately adjacent to the head of Paul Beck.” “Whether or not Beck was shot from the front or back,” added the county attorney, “is one of the great- est questions involved in this case. The position of the lead in the head of Paul Beck, as shown by an X-ray photograph would tend to indicate that Beck was not looking at Judge Day at the same time of the firing of the fatal shot. “Judge Day asserts he fired in self etense. My judgment ix if the shot was fired in defense, it was in defense of home, and not of life.” ee 82 YEARS OLD AND AS GOOD AS A YOUNGSTER “Seven or eight years ago I was a very sick man.
