BIX MEDrOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, June 22, 1(80 Defense Attempts to Break Evidence in Wilson Trial Vancouver, Wash. June 22 (U.R) The defense in the murder kidnaping trial ol Turman and Utah Wilson introduced testi mony yesterday which might break one of the links in the chain of circumstantial evidence against the brothers. Turman and Utah are on trial in Clark county superior court for the slaying of 18-year-old Jo Ann Dewey last March. Utah's bride of four months, Lucille Wilson, told the court that three brunette hairs found in the trunk of the suspect's car might be hers. During prosecu tion testimony, Dr. Harold L. Richardson, head of the Oregon State Police Crime Laboratory, said the hairs "closely resemb led" those of JoAnn Dewey but he could make no positive identification. Sedan Not Operated Mrs. Wilon testified that the hairs might have come from her head when she reached in to re move a picnic lunch from the trunk. Three defense witnesses testi fied yesterday that the sedan in question was not operated be tween March 17 and .10 because It had a dead battery and a flat tire. Another prosecution allegation was denied by Grant Wilson, brother of the icused. He said i the state contention that the trunk of the sedan had been cleaned and oiled recently was ( not true, He explained that he carried a can of motor oil in the trunk but said it had not been j cleaned. ! Judge Eugene Cushing denied Defense Attorney Irvin Good man permission to introduce Grant Wilson's testimony re garding a beer bottle found by police at the scene of the kid naping. Bottltt Removed After the Jury was removed from the courtroom, Good man said Grant Wilson would testify that he saw someone re move beer bottles from the trash can at Utah's home soon after the abduction and that he saw the same man near the sheriff office the next day. A Federal Bureau of Investi gation fingerprint expert testi fied last week that prints "lift ed" from the bottle were "un doubtedly" those of Utah Wilson. 77w "FRENCHMAN" says "YOU HAVE EENSULT ME I ONLY ENJOY WEES COTTAGE CHEESE!"
