McCoy, carrying out his old ring tactics of refusing to back up in a fight, entered court today ready to submit evidence to support his de- fense that Mrs. Mors committed sul- cide in his presence in the apart- ment which he shared with her, The prosecution closed {ts case ye y charging that McCoy kill- ed Mrs. Mors because he was unable to block a reconciliation about to be effected between the Mors. Mors, a wealthy antiqué dealer, applied business methods in his at- tompt to settle affairs of the heart with a check book, according to the letters he wrote to Davis asking Mc- Coy, he of the eight wives, to name a price for the surrender of the af- fections of Mrs. Mors. One letter begged Davis to warn his brother-in- law to cease his attentions to Mrs. Mors, “else I may be forced to kill him for betraying my home and dis- honoring my hearth.” In the other, the antique dealer accused McCoy of being interested only in. acquiring control of the Mors antique shop and other community property by marry: ing Mrs. Mors after she had obtain- ed possession of the property through a divorce settlement.
