Weddle Trial Opens With Defense Testimony About Lews Story
In the Weddle trial opening the defense began testimony as John K R Weddle father of the defendant testified. A contractor from Weiner Jinta described the fall talk where Lew admitted uncertainty about Robert Weddle’s involvement in the holdup at Echo. H E Collier, defense attorney, offered similar testimony refuting Lew’s tale. Weddle himself testified he was 21, claimed to have been in Echo and Idaho, denied involvement, and said he did not know the alleged co defendants. Following his testimony, defense said they tried to summon Lee Mere but he declined. Prosecutors then presented witnesses including Jack Knowlton Echo city marshal A Miesley and Newport deputy sheriff who testified Weddle and Lews were seen together frequently and that Weddle could not be located after the robbery. The morning session ended after further testimony from these officers.
