IN OWN DEFENSE
(Continued From Page Two)
Lean was the first witness called. The
prosecution asked if he had ever seen
McLean whip Mrs. McLean before. At
torney Kay objected but the objection
was over-ruled. Donald stated that
he had whipped her four or five times
before. Kay objected on the grounds
that that had no bearing on the case
ifgainst McLean for the murder of his
wife on January 20, 1017. Also that
no time was set when these whippings
took place. He was over-ruled.
Mrs. Burgen was the next witness
called. She was asked if she had any
knowledge of McLean giving his wife
other beatings than the alleged one on
January 20, 1016. Kay objected but
was over-ruled. Mrs. Burgen answer
yes. She stated that she didn’t see
him strike her but that she saw her
sister afterwards all black and blue
and she had told her that McLean
, had been beating her. She was asked
how long this practise existed. Ray
again objected but was over-ruled. She
said many times. She was then ask
ed how long before crime had she
fnown of his beating her. She an
swered, “during all of the year be
fore." Ray then asked her how long
the McLeans had been married. She
answered, “since 1903." Ray then
moved that Mrs. Burgens’ testimony
be struck on the grounds that she tes
tified to leading questions from th<
prosecuting attorney. He was over
ruled.
Fined for Beating \Nife
Dr. French was then called. He was
asked what knowledge he had of Mc
Lean beating his wife. Ray object
ed and was overruled. Dr. French
stated that in August, 1015, McLean
pleaded guilty to beating his wife and
spent thirty days in jail. He was then
asked if there was any evidence prior
to this of McLean having beat her.
Ray objected and was overruled. He
stated that he had seen marks on her
but didn’t know what had caused
them. Ray’s objection to this testi
mony was that if there was any rec
ord anywhere showing that he (Mc
Lean) had pleaded guilty to beating
his wife, that record should be pro
duced ’ instead of Dr. French’s testi
mony.
