Two Small Sons Testify For Defense In Best Murder Trial
In Butler Pennsylvania the trial of Mrs Josephine Best continued with her two sons Gerald and Darrel aged 13 and 10 testifying for the defense. They spoke clearly about family life and their mother amid questions by attorney McCracken while prominent local figures attended. The defense sought to prove good reputation and possible insanity in the family as the Commonwealth rested its case.
