Dr. Calnan was then excused, and
the state announced its rest on direct

"UHvrrltten Law Defence.
The unwritten law, supported by the
plea of great emotion, will be the de
fence of John Leech, being tried in the
district court for the murder of E.
Kohlberg. This fact became known
when J. E. Wharton, attorney for
Leech, outlined the facts which the de
fence will attempt to prove to the
jury, Thursday afternoon.
"We will show by Leech and his
wife," said the' attorney to the jury,
"that the notice of. dispossession did
not seriously affect eech. There was
no agitation, and he jested with his
wife about the matter because he felt
that he could arrange the matter of
the tent.
"He then took a more serious view
of the matter and spoke of .his hard
luck. It was then that Mrs. Leech
broke down and cried and fell on a
lounge or chair and told Leech In tears
and sorrow that something had hap
pened which she should have told him
before but had not. We will show
that Mrs. Leech told John Leech that
it was not the rent which had caused
Kohlberg to serve the notice of dis
possession, but it was because she had
refused to submit to Kohlberg's de
sires. "We will show that -when Leech ap
pealed to his wife to know what she
meant she confessed to Leech that
KohlbeTg had for nearly a year so
licited her to become submissive to his
will, to get rid of Leech and keep the
house unmolested.
"We will show," continued the at
torney, "that he -was stricken dumb,
his face became pallid and livid, show
ing deep feeling, and that he walked
the floor. He put on his hat and coat

and started down stairs. 'Where are
you going? she asked him and he re
plied, 'I am going to see my lawyer.
That was the last time she saw him
before the homicide. We will show
that he did go to see his lawyer, and
found him not at his office and as he
wandered toward home he stopped in
the office of Kohlberg.
"We will show by testimony that
Leech said to Kohlberg, 'My wife has
told me alL This matter must be
fixed,' and that Kohlberg turned and
scorned him and his -wife with an in
sulting remark. We will show that
Kohlberg made a remark in a foreign
tongue to his son, and that with some
thing in his hand, both turned on Leech
and that he was controled and impelled
to do what he did, and that he did not
know what he was doing until tKohl
berg lay shot at his feet."
Leecli Takes Stand.
.Following the statement to the jury
by Mr. Wharton, Leech wassworn and
went on the stand as the first witness
in" his own benalf. The examination
was conducted by Mr. Wharton.
"Your name is John Leech?" he was
asked.
"John Stark Leech," he answered in
a rather strained voice.
"You knew Mr. Kohlberg?"
"Yes, I knew "him for 25 years, ever
since about 1SS6."
"Did you have any relations with
him?"
"Yes, I rented the second and third
floors of the Southern Hotel building,
and had occupied it for seven or eignt
years."
"What were your relations?"
"Very friendly."
Leech then explained that the only
difficulty had been over the difference
in rent as a result of the fire in D. M.
Payne's store under the Southern ho
tel. "Tnen at the time of the homicide on
June 17, what was the status of af
fairs?" "I 6wed him. $765 and he sent me a
statement for $1165."
"Did tnat include any deduction on
account of the agreement?"
"No."
"Tell the jury whether it was a mat
ter of great consideration."
"It looked to me as if he was trying
to rob me."
"When you received the notice, where
were you?"
"At the Southern hotel." s
"Where did you next see Mr. Kohl
berg?" "In his store."
Then in answer $o questions, Mr.
Leech said:
Conversation "With Wife.
"My wife asked, "What is it that
you've got?' and I .said 'Lizzie, this is
a notice to get out.'
'Then she said 'What are you going
to do?'
"I answered, 'I don't know. lye
onlv got $3.50 in my pocket and it's
pretty hard to step down and out.'
"Then she began crying and said:
" 'John you don't know all.
" 'What is it I don't know?' I asked,
and then she said:
" 'Mr. Kohlberg has been after me
for over a vear and made me all kinds
of propositions.. lie told me that if 1
got shut of you, he would let me run
the house and I could live here anu
run the house and that he would take
good care of me.'
"I asked Lizzie, 'Do you know what
that means? Did you ever have any
doings with that man?'
" -Honest to God, I haven't,' she said.
'He spoke to me and asked me if 1
was going to get shut of that old man
and I told him no.' x
"I then told her Mr. Kohlberg didn t
want her out but wanted me."
"How long did the conversation
lasf9"
"Not lover five minutes for what we
had to say." ..
Leech also testified that his wife
said Mr. Kohlberg told her: -
"'Why don't you get rid of that old
man? He's old and broke and you're
a good looking young woman and I
like vou and like your ways.'"
Lee'ch then testified: "I couldn t
describe my feelings. I felt hurt that
an old friend of mine would go 'to
work and do what she had fold me.
"What did 3-ou understand that your
wife meant?"
"Only one thing, that he wanted to
get rid of me and make a mistress out
of her." .
"Then I got my hat and coat and told
my wife I was going to see my law
yers and I went to Patterson & Wal
lace's office. I didn't find them there
and so went down and happened to
meet an old friend, Shorty Ingram,
who told me that he had found an old
friend of mine down in the mountains,
Shorty Ball, and that he had sent my
gun to me that I had left down there
Then I went down San Antonio
street and into Mr. Kohlberg's store.
I didn't see him at first, as It was
rather dark, and saw only Walter. Fi
nally I saw Mr. Kohlberg, and going up
to him said, I see you've done it.
"'Iwon't talk to you,' he said wav
ing his hands.
"Yes you will talk to me, I said. Why
do vou wailt to rob me?"
"'I won't talk to you,' he again said.
"i;hen I said, you charge me $1165
and I only owe $765."
"Mr. Kohlberg then got up and
started toward the back of the store
'and met Walter. I was telling about
the hard times and I told him my wife
was sick and needed an operation.
Then he turned and said:
"'Damn your wife and you. too.'
"Then they made a rush at me and I
fired. The smoke was great and I fired
a second time. t
Leech is still on the stand at 3-15.
Walter Kohlberg Testifies.
Walter Kohlberg, son of the deceased
El Paso merchant, was the first -witness
for the state and he described the
store of Kohlberg Bros., the fixtures
and furnishings and produced a plat
which was marked exhibit A and sub
mitted to the jury for .inspection. Mr.
Kohlberg also described the plan of the
store.
On the direct examination, Mr. Kohl
berg stated that he was in the store
on the afternoon of June 17, standing
about five feet from the entrance door,
when Leech entered and walked to

SAYS
ON HIS
Going to the synagog to worship on
Yom Kippur, the day of days for the
Hebrew people, J. Oppenheim had his
peace of mind shattered when he saw
a suit of clothes which he says was
stolen from him in Juarez, entering
the temple on the person of another
member of the congregation whom he
claimed was Joseph Ravel.
Oppenheim lost no time in getting to
the police station, where he filed a
complain c against Ravel, charging him
with receiving stolen property.
of the office, which Is located on the
north side of the building. Mr. Kohl
berg stated he walked toward the door
of the office.
Conversation Before Shooting.
"Then. what occurred?" he was asked
by district attorney Howe who con
ducted the examination.
"I heard Leech say, 'I see you've done
it.'"
"Then my father replied: 'The mat
ter is in the hands of Charley Stevens
and Walsh e.' "
"Leech then complained of the hard
times and tne difficulty of raising
money, and my father got up and
walked toward the office, saying:
You've got plenty of money for the
races but none for rent. "
"I then heard the first shot fired,"
Mr." Kohlberg continued, "and looking
up. saw Leech fire the second shot,
which hit him in the back. I called
out 'Leech did it, then I sent for a
doctor and -went to my father. He
never spoke, and I knew he was dy
ing." In answer to questions, Mr. Kohl
berg stated he paid particular atten
tion to the conversation for "I knew
that the writ of eviction had been serv
ed and supposed that was what Leech
came to talk about."
One Other Personam Store.
Mr. Kohlberg also stated that the
only other person in the store was
Henry Buchoz, who was working in
the office on the books. He also stated
that there had never been any weap
ons In the store, and that it would
have been impossible for him, from
where he was standing in the entrance
to the office, to have secured a rock
or any weapon that might have been
in the mineral specimen case. The
question of the state as to the health
of the dead El Pasoan, was overruled
by the court on the objection of the de
fence. Where Leech Stood.
On the cross examination, Mr. Kohl
berg stated Leech was about three feet"
behind his father when the second
shot was fired, and that he was about
half way between them, but a little to
one side. He said he had been work
ing in the stdre since October, 1906,
and that he did not contemplate trou
ble when Leech entered the store.
"I walked to the door leading to the
office and stood there during the en
tire conversation," Mr. Kohlberg
again announced, "and heard it all.
I'm positive of it. I took no part in
the conversation."
As to the weapon used to kill Mr.
Kohlberg, his son said he did not see
it but was positive it was a revolver.
On the redirect examination. Mr.
Kohlberg said that there was nothing
to obscure the view of the killing from
where he stood: that Leech wore his
coat and that his father was in his
shirt sleeves.
On. the rebuttal, Mr. Kohlberg gave
his father's weight and height, and
also described the grill work around
the office.
Bucliox Heard Two Shots.
H. G. Buchoz, bookkeeper for the
past 16 j'ears for the firm of Kohlberg
Bros., was the second witness for the
state and he said that he was in his
office working on the afternoon of
June 17, and that the first intimation
he had of anything out of the ordin
ary, was when he heard two shots fired.
Buchoz Cnnght Ivolilberg.
"I jumped up from my desk," Mr.
Buchoz then stated, and cried, 'who
did it,' and then ran out and caught
Mr. Kohlberg as he fell. After the
second shot was fired, which was Im
mediately after the first, I saw a man
run out of the store but could not tell
who it was.
"Are "you seriously hurt," I then ask
ed Mr. Kohlberg, "but he did not an
swer, and I called for a boy to bring
some water. Mr. Kohlberg drank two
glasses and then I called for doctors."
The question of the state as to the
position of the chairs occupied by Mr.
Kohlberg and Leech, directly after
Leech came in, was overruled by the
court on the objection of the defence.
Mr. Buchoz then stated that he did not
hear the conversation as he is deaf in
his right ear.
Doctors Arrive Too Lntc.
On the cross examination, Mr. Bu
choz explained his duties in the store,
and stated that after he had called for
doctors it was four or five minutes
before they arrived, and that It was
about the same length of time before
members of the crowd gathered. He
also described the fixtures of the store
and denied that there were any weap
ons in the store, stating that he did
not know of the actual existence of
any weapons and that he had often in
spected the various compartments In
the store.
McNary Was in Banlc.
J. G. McNary, vice president of the
First National bank, was the third wit
ness for the prosecution and he stated
that on the afternoon of Mr. Kohl
berg's death, he was working in the
bank and that after hearing two shots,
he stepped to a window and saw a
man running toward what is now West
San Antonio street, and turn into an
opening that led to the rear of the
building formerlv occupied by the Gem
saloon. Mr. McNary also stated he saw
the" same man brought back by an of
ficer, and that it was his Impression
that the man he saw running was
carrying a small revolver in his left
hand. ;
Objections Overruled.
On the cross examination, Mr. Mc
Nary reaffirmed his statements and
said that he saw the man running af
ter he heard the second shot fired.
Following the examination, the de
fence asked that the testimony of Mr.
McNary be stricken from the record
on the score that no connection had
been made -with Leech. The objection
was overruled by the court.
