Dr. SheDDard fells of Hearing
Wife Cry Out on Hight of Murder
Cleveland (U.R) Dr. Samuel
. . H. Sheppard recited calmly to
'his wife-murder jury today his
; ' story of hearing her. cry his
Uname in the night and dashing
to her rescue only to be knocked
. ul by her slayer.
. Sitting prayerlike and with his
eyes closed in the witness chair,
Dr. Sheppard told how he found
his wife, Marilyn, 31, so badly
beaten in her bed that he though
J "it was all a terrible nightmare
2 or dream." .
f "I was horrified, I was shaken
, beyond explanation, and I felt
that maybe Td wake up, that
$ maybe this was all a terrible
" nightmare or dream," the boyish
' faced defendant said.
In Deep Sleep
" The 30-year-old osteopathic
"brain surgeon said the day of
July 3 had been an exhausting
" oii3 for him, and he was in a
"'deen sleep when he first heard
the cry sometime after midnight j
on the chilly, windy morning
of July 4.
j "I was awakened by her cries"
, he continued. "My drowsy recol
; lection was stimulated to go to
Marilyn, which I did as soon as
pI could navigate."
"I tried to go to Marilyn and
was intercepted, and I grappled
- and felt I was struck from be
y hind, and my recollection was
cut off."
He said he realized he had
i been hurt.
"I came to some sort of con
sciousness and I looked at my
wife's bed." ;
Chief defense counsel William
; J. Corrigan asked him to tell the
jury what he saw.
"She was in a . . . very . . .
bad . . .condition," he said.
- "She'd been badly beaten. I felt
- that she was gone." 5
r Dr. Sheppard said he heard a
- noise downstairs.
He went downstairs to the liv
, irg room where "I visualized a
! form." The form was between
the front doon- and . the yard,
which drops off abruptly to the
Lake'Erie Beach.
Grappled With Man -
Dr. Sam said- he went down
the stairway to the landing of
his TDoathouse.
"I descended as rapidly as I
j could. I lunged or lurched and
. grappled with this individual from
j behind. I felt as though I grapsed
j an immovable object of some
type. I was conscious only of a
choking, twisting sensation.
"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.
"I was horrified, I was shaken
beyond explanation, and I felt
that maybe Td wake up, that
maybe this was all a 'terrible
