Surprise Witness Says He Saw Defendant Far From Crime. (Continued from Page One) fense witness we decided it would

on the witness stand.” : Mr. Ellis testified he never reported to anybody the. fact that he saw White at the tavern on the night of the murder, except that three weeks ago he told Mr, Brennan about it. . Prosecutor Blue indicated he may call additional witnesses in rebuttal testimony before final arguments to the jury, scheduled for court session tonight. Called presumably as a character witness, Mr. Ellis, employee at the Allison plant where White also worked, suddenly testified last night that he saw White at the Princess tavern at W. 10th st. and Holmes ave, at about 6 p. m.,, Oct. 2, the night Mrs. White was found shot to death in her home, 605 N, Grant ave. The state previously had fixed the time of the slaying around 4 p- m. on Oct. 2, and no witnesses testified that they saw White leave his home from that time until police arrived about 10 p. m. that night, The Princess tavern is 27 blocks west of Meridian st. and Grant ave. is 40 blocks east. The coroner's office testified that Mrs. White had been dead more than four hours when they ex-

| amined the body about 11 p. m. on

Oct. 2. Police testified they found White sitting on a stool near the body of his wife at 10 p. m. Next door neighbors testified that White knocked on their door at 8:05 p. m. and asked what time it was and Mrs. Dorothy Beanblossom, who had a date with White that evening, testified she arrived at the White home about 8:30 p. m.

Blue Disturbed

Prosecutor Blue, visibly disturbed by the testimony, launched an intensive cross-examination of Mr. Ellis, in an effort to uncover more evidence about White's activities between 4 p. m. and 8:05 p. m. and how the witness happened to see White at the Princess tavern. A hurried call was sent out to round up more witnesses who might have been at Princess tavern that night. . After intensive questioning of Mr. Ellis about his work at Allison and where and what he did at certain times of the day, Capt. Harold Traylor, officer of the Allison patrol guards, informed Special Judge Edwin McClure that the state’s questions were forcing Mr. Ellis to reveal military secrets about war production.

Asks Court Be Cleared

Capt. Traylor askéd that the public be cleared from court room during testimony about the interior workings of the plant but defense attorneys protested that White must have a public hearing. After a recess, Prosecutor Blue confined his questions to Ellis’ activities outside the war plant in an obvious attempt to discredit the witness's testimony. “1 want to find out if this witnes is telling the truth if it takes all night,” said the prosecutor,

Denies Confession

The alleged “confession” police said White made the day after the murder, which was admitted into evidence at the trial, quoted White as saying he shot Mrs. White twice after she told him she was in love with William Shaw, proprietor of a restaurant in E. Washington st. The confession purported to say that White believed he shot her about 4 p. m., that he fired a second shot into her body as she lay wounded on the floor of their home pleading for her life. ' White, however, -later repudiated the confession and now claims he remembers nothing of his wife's death and denies he ever made a confession to police.

Friends Testify

All through the trial, defense attorneys have sought to prove that White was temporarily insane on the day of the murder, caused by an emotional shock over learning of his wife’s love affair with an. other man. Nearly a score of witnesses, White's fellow workers and. friends from his home town, Shelburn, Ind, testified yesterday that White has had a good reputation all his life

of any kind. “ Some of the witnesses, particularly those with whom he worked nervous, upset and “not himself”

Wants ‘Human’ Values

An engineer, industrialist, onetime automotive dealer, insurance expert, attorney and 'realtor, Mr. Huff is a self-made man with practical ideas. He invisions a post-war program of broad scope—one with “human” values, as he phrases it. “Our program won't be memorial in nature,” the newly appointed chairman said. “This administration will probably never reap the

the post-war era. But whatever we do, we intend to create new and greater public facilities, not monuments to present or past generations.” .

One of his chief aims in directing post-war activities " will be to plan for a rehabilitation of the family, now torn asunder by war-time disruptions.

Got Law Degree at 50

“Indianapolis is one of the most American cities in the United States,” he pointed out. “It has just about the largest percentage of home-owning residents of any city of its size. In blueprinting its future, we hope to retain that advantage.” He tends to minimize his own importance in the post-war scene, points out instead that futureplanning is a task for the people. His committee will function through “sub-committees relying upon public advice,” he says. Seated behind his desk cluttered with blueprints, law briefs, insurance reports, real estate plats and several volumes of Thomas Paine’s works and biographies, Mr. Huff still displays the determination that saw him graduate from the Benjamin Harrison law school at the age of 50, whem most men are beginning to seek retirement. : At that time he already had engaged in enough enterprises to fill several ordinary life-times.
