Defense Opens Case in Cor Murder Trial
Defense calls Paul Cor's parents and his brother as witnesses in the district court murder trial. Al G. Shone argues the 22 year old did not kill Shari McEwen on June 10 1960 and outlines the truck trip to Walkerville Big Butte and downtown Butte. The Cor family describes a bullet hole in the truck cab and a missing .22 revolver, with defense suggesting the weapon's absence supports innocence.
