J., court house for the murder and mutiliation of his eleven-year-old playmate, Janet Lawrence, last Oc- tober, took the stand yesterday. He told his story in quiet, even tones, and scemed to make a favorable impres- sion on the jury. He was preceded by his father and mother, whose evident nervousness contrasted with hls own confidence. Letween sohs his mother said her fifteen-year-old son was innocent and told of his youthful games with his pet rabbit, Brownie, on the afternoon of the murder. The spectators {in the court room openly showed their svmpathy with the mother as she be- treyed the strain she suffered.
