Judge Ponders 'New Evidence' Offered in Dr. Sheppard Case CLEVELAND (UP)' Common Pleas Judge Edward Blythin Wed nesday accepted seven affidavits on which convicted wife-killer Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard has placed his hopes for a new trial. The hearing, granted on defense claims of "newly discovered evi dence, consumed only 20 min utes. Judge Blythin said he would make his decision "either on notice or Thursday. . , The affidavits were submitted by William J. Corrigan, head of the young osteopath brain surgeon's legal counsel ; There was no testimony at the brief hearing. Dr. Sam, attired In his familiar charcoal flannel suit, white shirt and blue knitted tie, smiled warm ly at his two brothers and their wives as he entered the courtroom handcuffed to a deputy sheriff. His smDe was returned, although none of his family rose in greeting. . Dr. Kirk's Findings' The principal affidavit was a 33 page document signed by Dr. Paul Kirk, University of California criminologist hired by the Sheppard family to Investigate 1 the Inde pendence Day bludgeon slaying of Dr. Sam's wife, Marilyn. Corri gan outlined contents of the docu ment to Judge Blythin, but did not asked Dr. Kirk to testify. The other half dozen documents "added to it," Corrigan said. Four pertained to condition of the mur der home, and were signed, in dividually, by Dr. Sam, his broth ers, Drs. Stephen A. and Richard N. Sheppard, and defense attorney Arthur Petersilge.-" Corrigan said they showed the home was undisturbed between the time it was returned to its owners by the state last Dec. 23 and until Kirk arrived in February to con duct his investigation. Blood Spot Studied The fifth and sixth affidavits were signed by Dr- Virgil Hawes, an osteopath at Bay View Hospit al, and the Rev. Robert G. Scully. Corrigan explained Hawes had "removed a blood spot' from a wardrobe in the murder bedroom, the Rev. Scully had mailed the spot to Kirk on the West Coast for his examination. Corrigan told the court he could find no precedent in court history that would allow, him to present witnesses, so he called none. The state-was prepared, to answer any testimony, however, and had ar ranged for legal and medical ex perts to attend the hearing. The early adjournment came as a surprise. Judge Blythin was ex pected to make his decision some-' time Thursday. , . Most of the material Kirk has prepared for the court has been kept a closely - guarded secret. But he has revealed clues indicat ing Marilyn's murderer was a left handed person, that the' murder weapon was probably a flashlight, and that the slayer likely suffered bites on the hand when Marilyn attempted to defend herself. Sheppard's attorneys pointed out that Sheppard is right handed and bore no marks on his hands after the murder of his wife. The prosecution intimated during jSheppard's trial that , the murder weapon probably was a surgical instrument. But it was never pro duced. s Autc Crasli Near The Dalles Fatal THE DALLES Or) A car" carry ing three ' Blalock.
