Thanksgiving Day in Court Sees McBride Stand Again
On Thursday morning McBride testified as Attorn ey Kittredge argued to exclude certain lines of questioning. The judge ruled the bill was admissible and McBride could answer. McBride claimed the sale bill predated actions and showed ownership by another party, as the defense argued the transfer merged into the document. He said the disposal of the Mail plant aimed to prevent tumult and protect property.
