Oldaker, 43, be spared because he was insane when he brutally murdered Anna Louise M- Kee, his 57-year-old Mineola neighbor, today was opposed by a prosecution demand that he pay the death penal- ty under the age-old \eye- for-an-eye\ 'as the murder trial got under way before a 14-man jury before Judge Cortland A. Johnson in Nas- sau county court. District Attorney - Edward J. Neary told the jury he would sub- mit positive proof that Oldaker killed the kindly, white-haiged woman, who had befriended him and his family when he was out of work, because she refused to continue gifts of money to him. He said he would submit expert opinion that the defendant was legally sane when he committed TiURORns WHO DECIDE M'KEE SLAYER'S FATE 1-Foreman, George F.

Archibald, Hempstead civil engineer, was the first wit- ness called in the Oldaker trial. He testified to drawing plans, in- cluding an eight-foot long drawing of the first floor of the McKee home. Copies of the small plans were distributed to the jury. The large drawing was displayed back of the witness stand. Charles L. McKee, North Hemp- stead deputy assessor and brother of the murder victim, was the state's second witness. He testified to entering his sister's home four days after the murder and discov- ering her body. He was not cross- examined. Inspector Harold R. King was called as the third wit- ness, but was withdrawn tem- porarily to permit Patrolman Al- bert Dietrich the first officer at the scene to testify. Inspector Harold R. King testi- fied to finding a blood-stained kitchen knife alongside Miss Mc- Kee's body. No knife had been mentioned in the murder investi- gation. , Cahn Pleads With Jury Irving Cahn, defense counsel, pleaded with the jury to delay judgment until hearing all facts in the case. He said he would offer testimony of alienists who have examined Oldaker and have concluded that he was the victim of an insane rage that make him unaware of the nature and quality of his act during commission of the murder. He said the very bru- tality of the slaying in which the murderer rained ~more than a dozen blows with a hammer on his victim's head indicated the act of an insane man. In his opening statement, Dis- trict Attorney Neary urged that the admissions of the defense that Oldaker was Miss McKee's slayer Continued on Page 2, Col. 4 »
