The defense with the doctor's testimony after he had shown by an exhibition how the shot ,could have been fired, explaining that by standing just a little In advance of Montvid, Krakas could have fired such a shot. In rebuttal Deputy Jdiler Buckley saild he found Montvid's statement hidden behind & pipe in his cell and | it was not d there by any other Person than Montvid because no one else had entrance to the cell. State's Attorney Alcorn aiso called State ' Policeman Robert T. Hurley back to the stand. As an expert on bullet shots he declared that from his investigation he is sure the bullet ‘entered Montvid’s heel from the sole, as the hole at 'theé top is larger and more ragged. The entrance of the bullet at the hard part of the heel had been tampered with with a knife, said the witness. He did not think such a wound ¢ould be made by a per- son standing less than fifteen feet away, but he did think that this par- ticular’ wound was made while the vietim was running. Had such a shot been fired as Montvid said, Hurley declared, the bullet would have en- tered the fleshy part of the victim's foot. Under Attorney Day’s rigid questioning the officer said he was | positive in his -opinion that the bullet ‘went up, through the heel and mnot down as Montvid said. State’s Argument Opens, Assistant State’s Attorney William Maltbie opened the state’s argument at 11:45 o’clogck. He told of Father Zebris' twenty years pastorate in vew Britain and /extolled his good character, He also told of Bva Gil- maniaitih, the faithful housekeeper, whose sole aim in life was to serve Father Zebris and his parish. (He vividly pictured her terrible death by strangulation and $aid that while the priest was Kkilled bec.uu he refused to give up money, the helpless woman was killed tdo only because she knew too much., Mr. Maltbie sald that in hot blooded murder there may be someé sympathy for the accused, but in this cold blooded murder there can be no sympathy. He charged the Jury that if they believed Bernard -Mont- vid had a guilty hand in the murder, he has certainly forfeited his right to live. He remarked that the case s, most peculiar inasmuch as there seems to be an absence of any big motive. He then remarked on Mont- vid’s ‘various = statements . and i sald ere are but two issues in the case. First, did the accused go to the Parish house, not of his free will, but through fear of death &t the hands of ‘Frakas if 'he refused. Second, did he appear at the house only as an onlooker ¢r did he have an actual part in the tragedy. The big issue, he said, 1s whether or not Montvid's lieyed. Mr.: Maltbie calleq atténtion to. Montvid’s carefully planned and rehearsed story .and his attitude on the stand and also what the accused has atistake, giving him a: motive to err in his statements. The_speaker said that the prisoner has substantiated the stories of his activities in Taunton and Wilming- ton, told by the state’'s witness. He laughed at Montvid's statement that his previous statements were all lies. He called attention to ‘the fact that at first Montvid said there were four men but later sald /there were but two. - Against such a story on the stand, all of Mantvid’'s previous state- ments may be taken because they all agree with 'his final statement with the exception of the actual Kkilling, said the . assistant attorney. . The prisoner also contradicted testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Breither, Mr, and Mrs, Vinikaitis,’ the Wilmington’ palice, M. R. Malinowski, Sergeant Bamforth and parts of -his own. tes- timony, ' remarked the lawyer. He termed Montvid ‘‘a . cunning fellow,” and said he appreciated the fact that the best lie to tell is the 'one which Jibes best with the truth. Were it not for the tragic nature of the case, Montvid's story, including his supposed fear of Krakas and his insistant talk about the typewriter, would be funny, the speaker said. The famous “sis. ter is sick’ telegrams figure extensive- ly in the case and were warnings sistant state’s attorney. from Montvid to Krakas and vice versa, sald the assistant prosecutor, dand he continued to tear down other parts of Montvid’s stary, branding it as a le. Scorns Montvid’s Story. Coming down to the night of the murder, the assistant prosecutor | scorned ~Montvid's statement that Krakas had shot him. He said the evidence painted to the fact that the bullet was fired into Montvid’s shoe from the bottom, and therefore could not have been; fired by Krakas. In the house Montvid had numer- ous attempts to escape in the dark- ness but did not do so because ‘he was afraid of the dead man who lay on the floor' below.” Then subse- quent friendly relations and compan- jonghip between Montvid and Krakas brand as false, Montvid’'s statement that he feared Krakas and did not want to associate with him or take part in the murder, argued Mr. Malt- bie, who again insisted that the “sis- ter is sick” telegram were signifi- cant warnings. Furtaermore, atten- tion was called to the fact that it was not until he was positive that Krak- ag was dead did he even mention the bullet hole in his shoe. Coming back. to Father Zebris, the speaker sald ‘the four bullet holes in the priest were significant, Two of them entered the breast and two in the side. Had one man been shooting all four shots = the bullet wounds would have been more regular. In one confession Montvid said Joe Schultz fired two shots at.the priest and their statement was prompted by the thought in the back of his mind that two people shot at the . priest, said the attornmey, who-also scored the statement of Montvid that Krak- as tiéd the rope around . Father Ze- bris’ neck with one hand and his foot. He Hkewise scored the state- ‘ments that Krakas, with bdut two hands, held his gun, his searchlight, pushed the woman and also assisted in opening the attic door. The pros- ecutor sald all point to the fact that Montvid had some active part in the actual commission of these murders. The mute testimony of the condition of the bodies shows that one man could not have committed the crimes. Attorney Maltbie declared that a vigorous, 170 pound woman such as was HEva Gilmanaitis, could not have been murdered as she was by Krakas alone. It wouid have been impossi- ble for Krakas to hold the fighting woman and the light as well as cut and tie the, clothesline, said the as- The only conclusién, he said, is that Montvid helped in the murder. For the accused, Attorney . Day rose at 12:30 to make his final ur- gument for his olient’s life. Mr. Day spoke impressively as he gazed intent- ly into the faces of the jurymen, "It is because you are dealing with a human life, that you will aways re- member this case,” said the lawyer He lauded State’s Attorney Alcorn's story set ef oircumstances bub said he hak but done his duty. But the final responsibility of whether or not Montvid shall be adjudged guilty b3« yond all reasonable doubt . lies with the jury, “You must,; each one' of you, feel certain that he is guilty of this orime beyond any reasonable doubt before you can .convict, he sald. He also’explained that if a man, influenced by fear, is an ag- cessory to’' & murder he is not guilty, Lawyer Day admitted that this mur- der is ‘the.most brutal murder he éver heard of and the human in- stincts of the jury men rise up and demand ‘that it be avenged. 'But he begged the jury not'to let the.brutals ity of the murder influence them to discard .the possibility that Montvid might not have been: a willing ac: icomplice, even though'he was pres- ent. ' The vyarious ciroumstances brought out by the state should not convict Montvid of murder or the first degree, he sald, “You don’t want to take a man’s life just because he led. You all have seen times & your own lives when you would ha found it hard to explain,” said the Jawyer for the defense, who sald there dre many cases where innocent men have been hanged on circumstan- tial evidence. In further argument Attorney Day said that Krakas was a powerful man, & good sport but quiet. “But think of \the merve of that man who murdered {hat priest and then mingled with the Lithuanian_people and finally went to Wilmington, where he murdered |' the policeman. Think of his nerve gentlemen,”. shouted the lawyer. He then traced Montvid's past life and remarked upon. his ' previous good character until he fell in with Krakas, “Is Montvid to be blamed because he fell in with Krakas, be led on by him and liked him? Peter Krakas had ihe ability to keep his mouth 'shut. He used people,” the atorney con- unued. *T think all the evidencte showed that Krakas was this kind of a man and got hold of Montvid,” said the:lawyer, who then expourided upon the accused’s story that Krakas shpt Wim through the foot and threatengd to kill him and; leave his body on the railroad tracks. I-Le saig, J He did, not think this story is at all lmprnba,l?le. The lawyer for ‘thé' defense declared that the detectives, as they always do, influenced the prisoner info making hu confessions. Because Montvid is a Russian and that race has an inherent fear of the police, ‘it is not queer that Montvid did not run and tell thé police of the mur- der, he said. It Montvid had been shot in the heel in Wilmington there would have been a state’s witness here to- testify to it, said the attarney. He de- clared that State's Attorney Alcorn would have been sure to have the man who shot Montvid in Wilmington, if he had been shot there. He min- imized Policeman Hurley’s expert tes- timony that the shot was fired from the bottom ang was received when 'he was fleeing from the Wilmington police. In conclusion Attorféy Day argued that the shoe story and its evidence, is encugh to produce a ‘reasonablé doubt” about the accused's willlng participation in the crime. On Stand Yesterday Too. Exhibiting an outward calmness that is astonishing in view of the ap- parent weight of evidence against him, Montvid contended for more than two hours yesterday afternoon with the brilliant cross examination of State’s Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn. Questioned and cross questioned from all angles, the prisoner replied promptly and con- cisely and stoutly maintained that al- though he was a witness to the Zebris murder he had no part in it and was present only because he feared that Krakas would kill him too if he re- sisted him. At times he became a trifle confused and his story became highly improbable, but he stuck to it. He branded the police as lars and said that it was because of this that he lied to them himself in his eight | other confesstons. He also adnfitteq on the stand that he “has it in for™ Detective Sergeant Bamuel Bamforth and Interpreter M. R. Malinoski. Answers Questions Rapidly. The questioning and repartee of State’s Attorney Alcorn and ‘Montvid yesterday was a ‘revelation. ' The state’s attorney snapped out his ques: tions, briefly and rapidly and just as rapidly, and tersely thé accused re: plied. He seemed collected and ‘on several occasions took issue with the prosecutor when the latter attributed to him some previous statement which: | he declared he never uttered. Not an instant elapsed between the question and the answer and ‘those who looked for the Russian prisoner to breal down and betome entangled in a mesh of contradictory statements were disappointed. Story He Claims Is True. ‘Briefly, Montvid’s story which he told to the jury and which he claims is the,only truthful account of the murder, is as follows: | Krakas by appointment in a Main street saloon. He did not know what Krakas wanted, but after they started to walk and Krakas led the way along the rajlrgad tracks he unfolded to him his plan of robbing Father Zebris. Montyid demurred and said he would be 'a party to no such plan. Krakas then threatened to kill him and leave | his body on the railroad track so that it would be mafgled by the trains and |.n0,0ne would know he had been mur- dered. As it was, Krakas fired a shot from his overcoat pocket which went through the heel of Montvid's shoe and gyazed the .foot., Thus terrified, Montvid followed Krakas to the par- ish house, where' the latter rang.the -bell *and the two were admitted by Eva Gilmanaitis. Montvid entered last and cloSed the door.' Krakas at once ordered the inmates of the house to throw up their hands. did so but the priest did not and KrakKas at once shot him and tied a cord around his neck, all the time holding the revolver and using but one hand and his foot to tie the . cords. This;prevented Montvid from trying to escape. :Krakas then punched the helpless ' woman and asked where the money was. Krakas led the way up- stairs, . }light being furnished by his pocket searchlight as he had extin- -guished the gas. He ordered Montvid the attic door.) in- doing so and also used a screw driver Krakas handed him. Eventu-! using a monkey wrench. At point Eva Gilmanaitis suddenly fled up attic stairs and Krakas pur- sued ‘her. Montvid was left standing in the of the dead priest downutairs made six or seven minutes Krakas returned , | and told him he had tied a rope around the womanb5s neck. He then gave Montvid $3.25 of $7.35 pre- viously feund, and one bunch of keys, telling him to keep them and keep still. This ' is substantially Montvid’s story .of the murder and yesterday the prosecution was unable to shake him, materially. He attributed his lack of action in trying to prevent the murder or to escape and spread the alarm to fear for his own life. Although other parts of his story around the woman’s neck. He then tains that thev are the facts. Brands Police as Liars, Regarding the many confessions hc made, the prisoner branded = them all as les. He said the police lied to him. - He said ¢ ergeant Bamforth nervously shook a bunch' of keys un- der his nose and accused him of mur- der: ~ Malinowski, he said, informed him that Krakas had confessed and knew was a lle because Krakas “had noflllng on him” as he did nothing, He'furthermore declared that the po- in talking to him. 'He by his at. titude, scored Sergeant Bamforth ana Interpreter Malinowski and to a question from State's Attorney Alcorn he readily admitted that he did not like them and “had it in for them.” State Policeman Robert Hurley - he called “Mr, Bpb” and said he was a good man and told the truth. He had wanted to gonfess truthfully to him, he sald. Denies Any “Red Hand.” Later, in response to further ques- tions by the state’s attorney, Mont- vid denied that he was a member of any Red Hand society or that he knew of the existence of any such organizations. = This refuted a pre- vious statement he made before the trial in which he said he and Kra- kas had paid $5 initiation fee into this society, which threatens rich men and priests and if they refuse to pay ‘money are murdered, the as- sassins being chosen by drawing lots. In denying al} of his previous con- fessions Montvid took refuge in his statement that he had lied because the police had lied to him. Montyid jerks out his statemenis and@ answers interse sentences. While he speaks English fairly well ho does not speak it fluently and the court stenographer has to ask him to repeat many times. The prisoner also freguently arises to his feet to demonstrate by gesture that to which he is_testifying and once yesterday he left the witness box to point sut on g map of the parish house tho respective positions of the principals at the time of the murder.
