Defense Aims To Corroborate Raymond Alibi In Hackett Murder
The defense plans to introduce the testimony of a Standard Oil driver who says he saw Bert Raymond place horses at the Elmwood Hotel yard the evening Mattie Hackett was killed. Raymond’s wife is said to have reached the crime scene after Bert left her at their home. The government contends the murder occurred around 8 p.m. The trial features four rebuttal witnesses and a focus on whether Mrs. Raymond could have reached Kent's hill in time. Bert Raymond, his brothers, and their tall, mountain-style appearance draw attention outside the courtroom.
