Defendant Takes Stand
Defendant in Towey case takes stand in own defense

By Albert L. Schweitzer

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Mr. M and Mr A of 3454 Macklind Ave., is to be tried on the same charge later this year. Defense attorney S. Lee Patton asked several times Monday to present evidence showing Mr. M was playing what was described as a fantasy game called "Dungeons and Dragons." However, Voorhees denied the request, calling it irrelevant to the case. Mr. M said they tied up Miss Towey and put a bandage around her neck "to mess with her mind , to tease her (and ) make her think about the day (Friday 13th)." Under cross examination by special prosecutor John D. Chancellor, Mr. M said that despite smoking marijuana and drinking beer and vodka, he " had no problem" thinking that day.
