The prosecution in the Commonwealth v. Joe Veltra and Bruno Carbonio failed to admit an alleged confession from Glen Campbell jail but introduced renewed confessions by the defendants to the jury. Scott Norris testified that on July 22 all three accused accused each other of the killing during breakfast at the White Front in Glen Campbell. Veltra claimed Bruno shot the old man in the back at the field, Bruno claimed Joe did the deed, and both men described thefts of Tozier’s pocketbook, watch, and ring. The tale moved through scene locations from Pup tsutawney to McGee’s and Logan. Veltra’s statements also denied prior knowledge by relatives. Sheriff Wettling and Detective Neal corroborated confessions. other witnesses placed the defendants near the scene and described subsequent movements. The defense began after noon with Veltra taking the stand.
