Widener, and the other was Jock, owned by A. Duggan.

The defense witnesses said that Shockley was at Dalhart, Texas, en route to Colorado and New Mexico on the night state witnesses said he poisoned the flour. The state had demanded the death penalty. Clem Calhoun, chief defense counsel, in his closing argument, described the minister as "an humble, uneducated preacher, a good Samaritan, always thinking of others and never thinking oE himself." John Sturgeon, special prosecutor in closing for the state had said: "It is shighly probable that this case will be recorded in the state's annals as unsolved.
