ALBERT PUT ON STAND T0 TELL HIS OWN STORY | Indian, Accused of Murder, Reconstructs Shooting Story for Jury Richard Albert, 28-year-old Yaku- Indian, today took the stand n his own behalf, telling the story of how and why he shot and killed Sam Henninger last January 14 at Italio River, for which he was indicted for first degree murder and on which charge the Govern- ment now seeks a capital verdict. He was called to the witness stand at 10:20 a.m. by his attorney, William L. Paul. He told his story, in response to questioning, through an interpreter, Mrs. Cropley, as he speaks English too sketchily to be readily understood. | Says Feared Death | He alleged he had been threat- | ened on several previous occasions | by the man he shot, and that when | he shot and killed him in the| Italio River cabin where they had | been staying for several days wilh; others, Henninger was advancing| on him with his hands clenched. “Why did you shoot him?” asked | Mr. Paul. “He was coming after me, that's why I Wealthiest Monarch See ks Depression Cure The Queen at Recent Anni Celebration of Her Coronati Although all the other great nations have been battling depression for several years, only i few months has Holland been confronted with the problem.
