He returned a few minutes later and said he would post-1 I pone the sentencing for two weeks' to permit an investigation of "Werl-| ing family traits.” Werling, on the stand in his own I defense, had testified that he had ! a "detective complex" amt that his I ; desire to emulate Sherlock Holmes I i got him into "all this mess.” I The 31-year old clerk said that I ;’ic bad been interested in amateur| detective work since he was 151 years old. H? had aided in the'iu-1 vestigation of two murders, a Manni act case and chicken stealing, he said. He told in great detail of his in-J terest in counterfeiting. Last fall. ; he said, he learned that large' amounts of bogus money were be•ing circulated in Adams county.! iHe believed the spurious money was coming from Chicago. Kintz followed Werling to the i witness stand and told substantial iy the same story that his cousin had. Numerous character wit- | inbases from Adams county testi-i fled for the defendants. Herman Gillig, Decatur, Ind., was the final defense character witness. Leo Kline, the defense attorney, pleaded for release of his clients on the grounds they were the vic tiius of their own anxiousness to trap the counterfeiters. Werling. he said, had a “detective mania." but he argued that "by no stretch of the imagination can they be regarded as criminals. There was, he said, no crime and no criminal intent."
