SC. 1 CPU -Blonde little Vicki Wray won a second Christmas and a re prieve from total blindness Tuesday. But her parents re ceived the greatest gift hope. Doctors at the Duke Univer sity Medical Center said there was a slight possibility the two-year-old girl may not have to undergo an operation for tlie removal of her remaining eye. Vicki's left eye has been sub jected to high intensity radia tion and chemical agents in an effort to stop the spread of can cer, which cost her her right eye last July. "The treatment has in some cases preserved both the vision and cured the cancer." a medi cal center spokesman said. '"But we would not want to speculate at this lime" about Vicki's case. Doctors did promise the girl's father, Robert Wray. a $50-a-week textile worker from Boil ing Green.

"I saw him pick the gun up and 1 didn't think that would happen," she said. Mrs. Thompson said the in cident occurred in front of her house and she had been looking out a window. But. she said, the shot rang out just as she straightened up and she didn't see the actual shooting. She placed the time of the shooting at be.'ore 3 p.m. April 22. The prosecution has contend ed it occurred in tlie afternoon, but the defense has sought to place the time of death at 10 p.m. Mrs. Thompson said that aft er the shot she looked back through the window and saw an other man, James Godow a, run ning up a nearby hill with the rifle. She pointed out her house, the road in front of it. the window she looked through and the hill in two slides projected upon a screen in court. On cross-examination, t h e defense altornev drew from Mrs. Thompson the statement that at the time of the shooting Mrs. Biss was sitting in t h e right side of the rear seat of her car. The body was later found on tlie left side of the seat. The attorney asked Mrs. Thompson; "How can she be shot in the right side o.r the face if she was shot from the left side of the car?

Prideaux then commented mo mentarily on the savings bond program and presented the Min antnen. TU "Isn't it true that when you saw Eunice Biss she was parsed out and locking forward?" She answered; "So, I guess 1 didn't see her move." The attorney further q u e s tioned the woman about tlie re lationship of tlie persons in volved and proposed that Fos ter didn't know Mrs. Biss well while the other man, Godowa, was a close friend and "drink ing companion." Mrs. Thompson testified that the rifle appeared in Foster s hands after he had had an ar gument with Wilma Williams.' tlie fourth person involved in the incident in front of t h e Thompson house, and he had placed Miss Williams in the car beside Mrs. Biss.
