STATE WINS POINT IN WOOD MURDER TRIAL Court Sustains Objections to Questions in Depositions. Bv United Pratt MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. 28.—Depositions taken two weeks ago from Kentucky residents for use in behalf of the defense in the trial of _-.es E. S. Wood, confessed slayer of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Heath, were presented before the court today for elimination of questions declared by the state's attorneys to be objectionable. The depositions were first introduced Monday, but state counsel averred many questions asked were improper. Judge L. A. Guthrie sustained the objections. Witnesses testifying by depositions. two of them Kentucky physicians, asserted Wood was of unsound mind and told of instances in his life that substantiated their belief. Samuel Wood, father of the accused, and Hugh Tedrow', Newcastle, friend since boyhood, both testified Wood was not mentally responsible. The father said hs son returned from France changed mentally by his World war experiences. "He acted just like he was winding up a big drunk,” the fathe r said. “He didn’t walk like a sober man, was wabbly and limber-legged and seemed to w r ant to be let alone.” 2 COASTERS ARRESTED Police Enforce Rule to Protect Lives of Children.
