A confusing crime note describes Mes Beisel accused of shooting Kirk Beisel after a quarrel at a family home in Village Green Delaware. Captain Erb and Mrs Erb are linked through alleged interference while Beisel claims self defense amid a long history of domestic dissension. Court testimony will continue with servants bound to reveal the events surrounding the shooting.
