Gerber today firmly re jected the Sheppard defense contention that an imprint in blood' on slain Marilyn Shep pard's pillow was an "ink blot effect" caused by a. fold in the pillow. Gerber stuck to his guns in a shouting,-accusing cross-examination session "With William J. Corrigan, master strategist of Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard's de fense staff. The coroner main tains that the imprint was made by a "two-bladed surgical in strument." Dr. Sheppard, 30, an osteo path and brain surgeon, is on trial for his ' life . in Common Pleas Court. The state accuses him of bludgeoning his wife to death last July 4 after a vquarrel about his intentions to a freckle faced technician, Susan Hayes, and other women. Makes Ink Test Even the defendant got into the act which had as its star at traction the blood-stained pil low case taken from the murder bed. At a mid-morning recess, Dr. Sheppard, pale and solemn, dumped ink on a piece of paper, folded it, and then opened it, showing that that would pro duce two identical images. The imprint on the pillow shows what Dr. Gerber has described as two blades of an instrument. "If you thrdw a pair of shears on a pillow it will smooth out the material," Dr. Sheppard told the crowd of reporters near the clerk's desk in the court room. "It will not press it to gether." At that point, the defendant's guard, James Kilroy, realized what was happening and pulled Dr Sam away. By court ruling, the defendant hasn't been allow ed to talk to anyone except coun sel during court sessions. PORTLAND LIVESTOCK Portland (UJ.) CatUe 250.
