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.

sion of possible means of lower
