THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ALIBI OFFERED BY DEFENSE IN JONESMURDER William Mason in Kentucky at Time of Slaying, Witnesses state. BY JAMES A. CARVIN' Times Staff Writer NOBLESVILLE. Ind., Dec. 4. William Mason, charged with the slaying of Sergeant Lester Jones of the Indianapolis police department, today proffered an alibi that he was near Covington, Kv., at the time of the holdup of the Peoples Motor Coach Company and the murder. Two witnesses declared that they saw and talked with Mason at the time of the crime. The defense blow was dealt the ! state as Millard C. Owens, druggist | of Clifton, Ky., three miles from j Covington, said that he was with Mason at 1:30 a. m. cn Feb. 7, 1933. Sergeant Jones was slain at about 3 a. m. on that February morning. Millard testified that Mason came j to the door of his store at 12:30 a. m. and rattled the store’s door. “I was about to close up. I came to the door and told him I’d take him home if he waited around awhile until I got through with a few things I had to do,” Millard testified. He said Mason waited for him and that around 1:30 a. m. he drove Mason to his home. Owens contended that it had not snowed that morning. Covington police have declared that if Owens drove Mason home, auto tracks would have been visible near Mason’s home. They testified earlier that they saw no tracks near the home. On the heels of Owens to bolster the alibi, Mrs. Marie Wolff, 22, of Bromley. Ky., Mason’s sister, testified that she was at her brother’s home at 2:30 a. m. the morning of • the murder and that he was there

at that time with Betty Clark Mason, his wife. Later, she admitted under crossexamination, that Betty Clark Mason was her brother’s common law wife, but that she “always looked upon her as a sister.” She admitted that Mason was legally married, but did not know whether he had been divorced. Mrs. Wolff said it was not snowing the morning she saw her brother in his home near Covington. She testified that her husband and Betty Clark Mason were with her when she saw him at his home. The sister of the alleged slayer then testified that she was refused permission on several occasions to talk to her brother and that when she was permitted to see him in the Indianapolis city hospital that he was chained to a bed. The defense, in opening with the alibi story today as the framework of its case, tvas met on every side by state objections when Mra Wolff attempted to testify that she tried to obtain records of the weather conditions in Kentucky at the time of the murder. The sister did not obtain the records to show that it had not snowed. The state held that the records were the best of evidence and Judge Fred Hines ruled in the state’s favor. O E. S.
