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 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.
During this year the good record of
previous years continued to obtain
among Metropolitan policyholders.
