Defense hinges on Big Bill Keliher in sensational case
The article notes the late Mr. Hunting tied to the jury as for twenty years a Stoughton resident, with Brookline origins at Harvard square. His son serves as juror No. 5 and the body will be interred at Evergreen cemetery Brighton. Attorney Harvey H. Pratt will complete the defence outline Wednesday morning and new witnesses may aid the case. The defence argues Coleman funded the fare game without Keliher's knowledge and that Coleman claimed a $300,000 legacy, with several women witnesses expected to corroborate Coleman’s stories to clear Keliher of knowledge of the money.
