Collazo Case To Go To Jury On Wednesday Complete Evidence. On Puerto Rican Revolutionary Today Washington. Mar. 6 (UP) — The government and defense rested today .in the trial of Puerto Rican revolutionary Oscar Collazo for the murder of a White House guard in the Nov. 1 attempt on President Truman's life. Collazo was the only defense witness. To escape the electric chair, he tried to convince a federal court jury that he never intended to try to kill Mr. Truriian. The 37-year-old defendant, under cross-examination by the prosecutor, doggedly stuck to his ’ story that he and his slain accomplice. Grissello Torresola. meant , only to stage a demonstration , in front of the president’s Blair ■ House residence. Counsel for both sides will pre- ' sent closing arguments tomorrow .. morning With the case going \to, i. the jury during the day.

Birdzell. Under the law. however, it makes no difference that White House guard Leslie E. Cotfelt actuallj’ was killed by .Torresola. Collazo can be found equally guilty as an accomplice in the crime. U. S. prosecutor George Morris Fay asked the defendant' if he intended, to shoot Birdzell. | / “I meant to hit him.” Callazo ; said.
