Frimk M. Jeffords, Ira Harrison and Gleen Treeee, the three rrK-n charged with,the murder Tuesday n \feek ago of J. C. Arnette at a filling station in Columbia. The defense of the three defendants will be begun at DioO o'clock this morning. ' Twenty-one witnesses were hnrl for the prosecution yesterday as link ^J>y link the state strung together its chain of circumstantial evidence in an effort to strengthen and reinforce the testimony of the confessions, Which, officers say, were made by the three, defendants. Approximately 12 hours Were consumed by the state in I hoc, actual presentation pf testimony during the two days and practically every "second of the seven hours given t othe trial yesterday was devoted .t<* either the taking of direct evidence or the cross-exardination of witnesses, an imposing volume df evidence being taken. S. S. Sjhorter, chief of detectives of the Gblumbia police department, was .VI.J! !? * 1 i/iic ftiuw ? t-iuei wiiuesg nearu yesiterday* his recounting of tjve alleged confessions just before- tho state ^rested serving once more to rivet attention. upon the story of th? crimes as seen by the state. Goroboration of the statenvents alleged to have been made, to officers by garrison, T^reece and Jeffords, as recounted by Chief Shorter yesterday and by Sheriff T. Alex Heise Tuesday,, yjras furnished in the testimony of P$tectives Jim Broom, Rob Broom atkl *W. T Kelly and Lieut. J. R. Swearingen, all of whom told of statements) which the three men is admissible only against the man supposed to have made the confession. Harrison, according to the testimony of Shorter, Heise and the other officers, was the first man to admit complicity in thf crime and it is from him, officers testified, that they secured a detailec story of the killing. Treece and Jeffords, officers said, had both admittec participation in the slaying of Arnetto, but, according to the testimony neither went into any minute descrip tion of the manner in which the deet was accomplished or his alleged par licipation in it. This of necessity up der the ruling of Judge Townsent has made the greater portion of thi evidence given by officers inapplicable in the cases of Treece and Jeffords Every effort of counsel for Harrison yesterday was to prove that Har rison's story, as recounted by the officers, was substantially true as the date contends and that Harrison was the first pedson to furnish officer: with evidence as to who committee the crime. This was taken as an indication that Harrison's defense wil be a plea for mercy on the grounds that without him the perpetrators! of the crime would have escaped punishment. To add still more weight to this plea and to coroborate in omr< detail his version of the killing Har rison is therefore expected to tak< the stand today and this action or his part, it is predicted, will pi-obablj bring one or both of the other twe defendants to testify in defense o1 the charges against them as contain oil in Harrisons guui'inriii, its uuw known to the court through officers to whom it is alleged to have beer made. Each defendant will conduct his de fense separately and independently of the defense of the others, the con tentions of the trio, as revealed si far, being in many instances botl conflicting and contradictory. Th? defenses of the three men will b< taken up in order that the men ari hamed on the indictment: Frank M Jeffords, Ira Harrison and Glenr Treece, each of the defendants beinjs allowed to introduce testimony of fered by either of the other two be fore the state takes up its reply t< the three defenses. This plan of de fense was arbitrarily ordered bj Judge Townsend yesterday afternoor when it was found that the attorneys for the three men were unable t< 'agree among themselves as to th" order of the defense. No arrange' ment hns been made as to the ordei of the addresses to the jury. Quite a number of Union Shriner; are in Rock Hill today for the spring ceremonial of Hejaz Temple. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Collins and fam ily have moved to Buffalo, where thej will reside in the future.
