Sheppard Could
Have Made Marks
On His Own Neck
Cleveland (U.R) The prosecu
tion implied today that Dr. Sam
uel H. Sheppard could have
made marks on his neck himself
by clasping his hands at the
back of the neck and pressing
his thumbs into the front.
, That possibility was brought
out by Prosecutor Thomas J.
Parrino in cross-examining a de
fense witness in Dr. Sheppard's
wife-slaying trial.
; The witness was Dr. Clifford
C. Foster, a staff physician at
Bay View Hospital, where Dr.
Sheppard, an osteopathic neuro
surgeon, also practiced.
yii in Hospital
Dr. Foster told of visiting Dr.
Sheppard in his hospital room
from 2:10 to 2:50 p.m. last
July 4.
r: That was the day Dr. Shep
pard's wife, Marilyn, 31, was
-bludgeoned to death in her bed
before dawn. Dr. Sheppard says
5ie heard her scream, ran to her
rescue and was knocked out by
her assailant.
- The state charges Dr. Shep
pard killed her after a quarrel
:about his affairs with other
Iwomen.
; Dr. Foster testified that Dr.
tSheppard was "in mental shock
-and was restless and crying
-when he visited him. He said he
:had noted there was a faded
-area on the left sideof Dr. Shep-
Jpard's neck near the Adam's ap
ple, a swelling at tne oase oi tne
:6kull and a swelling on the right
;side of the face.
rThumb Pressure
: Dr. Foster had written on the
-hospital report that Dr. Shep-
Tpard had a probable fracture of
the jaw. But, questioned by Par
;rino, he said X-rays had disclos
ed no fracture there.
Under Parrino's questioning,
;Dr. Foster said that if a person's
.'hands were clasped behind his
'.neck for a long period of time,
"the neck area could become
:f aded and if a thumb were press
.ed against an area of skirl for a
long time that area would be--come
blanched.
