PUBLIC FLOCKED
THROUGH HOUSE,
DEFENSE CLAIMS
(Continued From Page One)
Tho hiatus which threatened ' to
disrupt tho stato's orderly chain of
eviaenco was raised by scnenck and
Lewkowitz when McCord Harrison,
Phoenix police- detective took the
stand to tell of his observations at
2920 N. . Second street. .
He found, he said, "two distinct
tracks, about 21 inches apart, lending
from the southeast corner of the gar
age, out of the garage, through the
bitck yard Into the service porch,
through the kitchen and a small
hallway. Into the front room.' ,
The state was attempting to estab
lish that the large trunk, in which
Mrs. Leroi's body was found had
bcon dragged by the slayer from the
garage into the house.
Defense Objects
Harrison's testimony was stopped
by defenso objections ori grounds tho
state had not. shown tho promises in
the same condition when Harrison
visited them the night of October 19,
as they had been immediately follow
ing the slaylngs of October 10.
"If this is going . in at all,' de
clared Lewkowitz, "I want to enter
into tho record also some newspaper
articles."
"Newspaper articles?" queried the
court.
'.'Yes. about the public going
through the place at 10 cents a
throw and I have some photo
graphs." Court was recessed while the Judge
and opposing attorneys attempted to
reach an accord.
It tentatively was agreed to allow
tno county attorney to call other
police witnesses In an effort to estab
lish what occurred before Harrison
reached the scene.
Harrison testified over renewed de
fense objection, that he found in
tho bedroom a piece cut from the
rug and blood spots on the floor
and baseboard In the same section
of the room. He searched for the
missing piece of rug, but could not
iinu it.
Ono bed. Harrison said, had a thin
pad ou it In lieu of a mattress. On
the other bed there was no pad nor
mattress only quilts and sheets.
Lcwkowlt?.' cross-examination dis
closed Harrison had found no blood
spots on the wall higher than the
head of the bed. no blood under the
bed or on any of the bed springs.
Dr. Horry Goss. of Phoenix, as a
state expert, said he examined blood
spots in the house at 2929 N. 2nd
street on November 13, 27 days after
tho slaylngs.
"I found certain spots throughout
the house." he testified "except the
living room, and took samples from
the bedroom, bathroom, dining room
and kitchen, and breakfast room.
Some wero determined to be blood
some were not.
"Tho soots on the bedroom floor
and wall were found to be blood. And
a spot on a piece of linoleum in the
kitchen. The spots were human
blood.
"Did they have the appearance of
having dripped down, or to have
spurted?"
