Kirk Links Abbott With Dead Girf By GLENN STACKIIOl'SE United Preu Staff Correspondent OAKLAND (UP) University of California criminologist Paul L. Kirk will face further cross-exam- Fire Department Answers 3 Calls The city fire department an swered three alarms Saturday aft ernoon. The first call wa? at 1:10 p.m. to the Klamath Hotel where a mat tress tire was extinguished. At 3:31 p.m. firemen were called to 168 Lewis Street where an auto mobile belonging to H. L. Hanson was on fire. The flames did little damage. The third call cunie from a resi dence at 134 North Third Street where the motor in a furnace burned out. The house is owned by Mrs. V. Burris. Ination by defense attorneys Mon day In the kidnnp-murder trial of Burton W. Abbott. Kirk's testimony provided a strong link between Abbott, a 27-year-old U.C. student, and 14-year, old Stephanie Bryan whose decom posed body was found buried near Abbott's Trinity County moun tain cubin. Dist. Atty. J, Frank Coakley Is expected to rest the stale's case when tlie criminologist's cross examination ends but there was no Indication when that would be. Kirk was on the stand all day yesterday while defense attorney Harold Hove took him over every step of the tests by which he linked Abbott to the disappearance of the Berkeley school girl. Kirk has stated that he found by scientific examination: Washed-out bloodstains on the rear seat and mat of Abbott's car: several hairs "identical" to Stephanie's; liber from the slain girl's clothes: and mud from the gill's grave on Ab bott's boots, However, under cross-examina tion Kirk conceded there are other substances besides blood which give similar but not, he insisted, identical reactions under the chemical tests. He also admitted there wasn't enough blood in the spots for him to determine whether it was hu man or animal. At the day's end, Hove was on the subject of the condition of the soil when' Stephanie'! body was laid In the grave. Kirk previously said the ground must have been quite wet because one clod of earth, since dried, plainly bore the imprint of the girl's sweater. Tills is important In fixing tlie date of her death, because it rained In that nrea through the last week of April, when Stephanie vanished from Berkeley, then cleared. The defense has said It hopes to prove Stephanie still was alive after the weekend of April 30-May 1. Abbott, It is believed, can ac count for his movements after that time. i BRAND NEW 1956 SeiTDDflFOI with TOP FRONT TUNING NO ST00P1 NO STRETCH!
