"That's all I can remember until I came to a vague sensa ; tion in the water or at the : water's.. edge." .. , . He said , the form's clothing appeared dark from behind. The ' man had "a good-sized head r with a bushy appearance to the ' top the hair, that is." He said it was light enough I by the time he regained consci i nusness the second time to see I the Huntington pier to the east I cf his property, j "I remember as I finally came to enough sensation to get to J my feet, I finally staggered up the stairway. "As I recognized that this was my home, I entered and came to the realization that I naa been struck. I was fearful for Marilyn, but I can't say that then I remember I had seen her the first time." . Dr. Sheppard closed his eyes as if in prayer again and clasped his hands: "I saw she had been terribly 'beaten." Corrigan asked him to de scribe his feelings at tnat mo ment.
