Paterson Case Defense Attacks Dead Girl’s Character

They deny assault and claim she was intoxicated but not harmed, and contend the meeting in the saloon was accidental. Testimony conflicts with prosecution evidence including a claimed confession. Judge may defer final charge to the jury until Friday.
