Defense Rests Case Against Charles Keever, Charged with Murder of Will McGinnis, Oct. 28, 1926

Defense Rests in Keever Trial

Gastonia, Oct. 28 (AP)—Charles D. Keever, charged with the murder of Will I. McGinnis at Stanley last month, rested his case at noon and immediately afterward the state began examinations of a large number of rebuttal witnesses.

The state put several witnesses on the stand to prove the good character of the dead man, after the defense counsel had endeavored to prove him a dangerous character.
