Main pounding cross-examination today alter the doctor completes his ac count of leaving the scene of 4h July 18 killing of .Mrs. Barbara Jean Finch, 33. Finch and his 23-year-old mis tress, Carole Trcgoff, are charged with Mrs. Finch's murder. It was not yet known whether the girl would take the witness stand at all. - Women jurors were in lean Friday at the 42-year-old surgeon's broken-voiced recital of his wife's last words as ho knelt beside her. Finch claimed his wife was shot when a revolver fired accidental. !y in a wild fight. "I'm sorry - I should havt listened," Finch quoted his wife, "Take care of the kids." Trial observers agreed his story had terrific emotional impact and put the doctor in the best position since testimony in his trial began live weeKs ago. But it was filled with coinci. dences and strange twists. Ihe first was the tremendous mathematical improbability of iht gun firing Finch says in tht process of being flung away and hitting the brunette Mrs. Finch squarely in the back. A second was the explanation of the presence of the so-called "murder kit" at the scene and the strange mixture of rope, knife, flashlight and medical equipment. Carole brought it up the drive way, Finch said, because he want ed the flashlight inside and she did not have the key to the at tache case so she brought th whole kit. Even should Finch withstand the interrogation on those points, Whichello still had Finch admit ting he contacted ex-convict John Patrick Cody in Las Vegas. The indictments against Finch and Miss Trego(( have tw counts: Murder. Conspiracy to murder. The second involves Carol more than the first. It was shs who put the doctor in touch with Cody. The Minneapolis jailbird testified they paid him to kill Mrs. Finch. The doctor says they engaged him solely to get divorc evidence.
