PAGE FIVE L By Evidence Showed Wife's Hair Had Been Jerked Four Separate Blows Rained On Scalp, Is Claim SAN JOSE, Cal., March 21. (UP) Prosecution medical experts today struck squarely at David Lam son's defense claims that his wife died from the effects of an accidental fall, adding major points to the state's contention that Lam son beat his wife to death with an Iron pipe. Dr. A. W. Meyer, head of the Stan ford university anatomy department, and Dr. Clement Arnold testified suc cessively that: 1. Evidence showed Mrs. Lamson's hair had been Jerked, supporting state claims that Lamson held his wife by the hair as he allegedly struck her at least pur times on the head. 2. Four fractures In her skull could have been caused only by four separate blows. 3. That there were no arterial spurts of blood from Mrs. Lamson's wounds, and that blood spots on walls of the bathroom In which Mrs. Lamson's body was found could have been splattered there by a pipe wield ed In the asserted attack on Mrs. Lamson. 4. That "great force" would not have been required to cause Mrs. Lamson's fatal head wounds. Defense Attorney Edwin McKenzle bitterly attacked the damaging tes timony of the two experts. Late in the day he asked Dr. Arnold if he had not told Dr. Margaret Lamson. sister of the defendant, some months ago that he believed David Innocent. "I did not!" Dr. Arnold shouted before Prosecutor Irving Bridges could object. The remark and ques tion subsequently were stricken from the record at Judge Robert R. Syer's order on objections of the prosecu tion. McKenzle asked Dr. Meyer at one point whether blood could not spurt at least eight feet from the body of an animal. "It all depends on the animal. Are you thinking of elephants or whales?" retorted Dr. Meyer. Dr. Meyer said proof that Mrs. Lamson's hair had been pulled was furnished by the fact he had found a herorrhagic condition above each of Mrs. Lamson's ears, condition sep arate from wounds on her skull. He differed from previous state ex perts who testified that only great force could have produced the frac tures and lasceratlons on Mrs. Lam son's head If the wounds were caused by blows struck with the pipe which the state claims was used in the al leged murder.

The classes offer opportunities for the study of present-day econom ic and social problems, provide a means for the profitable use of the Individual's leisure time in personal and vocational self-Improvement, and offer opportunities for foreign born to become naturalized citizens.

Long Life and Security THE Metropolitan Lil'e Insurance Company began publishing "Health Hints"for its policyholders in 1871 and ever since has carried on its efforts toward belter health The Company cooperated with gov ernment officials in a campaign against a threatened cholera epi demic in 1892 and thus began its co operative work with public health organizations. In further developing its activities in the field of health, the Metropolitan organized its Welfare Division in 1909 and, at about the same time,' a nation-wide nursing service was estab lished for Industrial policyholders. Subsequent health records demon strate the value of these services. During all these years the Company has worked shoulder to shoulder with national, state and local health organizations to stamp out prevent able disease. New low mortality figures were re corded in 1934 for practically all of the diseases against which public health forces have directed special preventive efforts notably typhoid fever, IwbercusBosis, diphtheria, infant mortality and maternal mortality.
