In virtually no detail did he swerve from a story of his movements on the night of the killing, nor could the State shake his insistent denials of improper rela.| tions with his daughter. The last defense witness was John Leneve, a student. He swore that four hours after the slaylng he saw a4 man who in no way resembled”the defendant within 30 feet of a lake- side grove of trees in which Sylvia's| Pody was discovered the next morn ng. John A. Billings, a fireman, testi- fied that within five minutes of the hour of the killing as fixed by State investigators he saw the defendant two miles from the scene of t_he crime.
