MOTHER OF THE LATTER WITNESS FOR DEFENSE Told Wife of Defendant That She Did Not Believe Charge Made Against Him by Daughter, She Admits On the Stand. When the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court adjourned, this ‘afternoon, the prosecution had offered its best evidence in the trial of ymond Hitchcock, the actor, who is accused of misconduct with little The defendant looked sick { girls. < and worn as he left the room. It was the general opinion of those following the testimony that the State strengthened its case to-day. The principal accuser of Hitchcock, John B. Stanchfield, the chief counsel for the defense, steered clear of the main issue and spent most of his time attacking the girl’s memory of collateral points. Important phases of her testimony were corroborated during the afternoon by thirteen-year-old Elsie Voecks. Stanchfield «caused Mrs. Mary Von Hagen, the mother of little Helen Von Hagen, to admit that-natonger ago than yesterday she had told the defendant’s wife that she did ngt believe Hitchcock had wronged her daughter. The mother also identified a letter which she wrote to jthe accused comedian last fall and in which she said practically the ; same thing. HACK NSCHMIDT Hitohcock’s nervousness —_increaged hourly as the day wore on. Those whe are following the trfal would not be surprised to see him collapse before the case goes to the jury, He wae never still for a moment to-day. His fingers trembled visibly as they rum- pled his long yellow hair or lingered about his thin Ups, And he bit as nails in a way that recalled Harry aw on the grill. IL is understood that the defense has altered its first plan and will now rely largely on an allbi to save the accused musical comedy star, As soon as Helen Van Hagan had taken the witness chair, where she sat cool and selt-possessed, Mr, Garvan sald he had concluded his examination lef and turned the girl oyer.to the side.
