Mellett, editor, marshaled forces for his defense be- fare he had been indicted, William Brumme, of Massilon, testified to- ‘day in the trial of the millionaire bootlegger. Brumme gave his testimony when the defense, in cross-examination attempted to show he was seeking revenge because of a dispute he and Rudner had over a police dog. “Ben told me he couldn’t pay me because she had to raise $10,000 for his defense,” Brumme replied. *I was surprised. He hadn't been charged with anything and I had no | information he was going to be.” The witness then said that Seran- | us Lengel, deposed chief of police of | $31.000 consi | Canton, had been seen in Rudner’s | $1 | store in Massilon ewice in one week, | $1,000 denominations. shortly before Mellett was shot from ambush last July.

The defense made an effort today to prepare groundwork to attack the testimony of William Betzler, state star witness, who claims to have been with McDermott until a hours before the murder. After JFrank Schlagel, a druggist near the Mellett home, had fled to seeing McDermott and a small man he could not identify, the | defense recalled Betzler and ques- tioned him severely regarding an al- leged prison record.
