FLUSHING, L. l., N. Y, June 20.-In an
effort to establish more complete motive
for the murder of Mrs. Lillian Guy, the
wife of the Far Rockaway dentist who is
on trial for his life in the supreme court at
Flushing, District Attorney Darrin today
secured an order from the supreme court
and served 1t on the surrogate commanding
him to surrender the contents of safety
deposit vault Prosecutor Darrin hopes to
prove by the papers in the vault that all
of the Guy property, amounting to about
S2O0OOO, was in Mrs. Guys name. 1t has
been shown that DR.. Guy had little money
of his own and that his wife paid all the
bills. The prosecution will seek to show
that Dr. Guy killed his wife partly because
she refused to give him money. Mr.. Darrin
admitted that he did not know where the
safety deposit vault is and that the defense
refuses to tell him.
When the trial was continued this morn
ing Policeman Naussbaum, Officer Berry s
side partner, the first witness. 1t was
Naussbaum who first reached the Guy
house after the shooting, and found Mrs.
Guy dead. The witness said that he was
standing in front of the Montauk Hotel,
opposite the Guy house, at about $50
o'clock on the afternoon of April s, when
Berry walked over to him and began tell
ing him about the conversation he had had
with DR.. Guy when he returned the ham,
mer he had borrowed.
Heard a Shot
"A few minutes later" he said, Il heard
a shot that sounded like a frecracker, and
then l saw Annie Hanson running across
the lawn toward us shouting for help 1
went back with her to the kitchen, and
when l asked her to go in with me she
said: No, no, he will shoot me, too.'
Il went inside and found Mrs. Guy lying
on the floor. l asked her who had shot
her, but she made no reply. Then l looked
out of the window and saw Dr. Guy leaving
the house, and going in the direction of the
trolley station. l ran after him, and placed
him under arrest. l asked him where he
was going, and he said: To New York" 1
replied: No, you're not. Be nice, and come
back with me- l took him back to the
house. and when he saw his wife he knelt
beside her and said: oh, God! my wife,
how loved YOU Then the doctors came"
Had Known Annie Hansen.
Upon cross-examnation the witness said
that he had known Annie Hansen, the
servant, for some time and that he had
called upon her last New Year night and
had a cup of tea with her. Lawyer Gregg
could not shake the policeman's story
materially, but he raised a laugh when he
pulled out stop-watch and in an effort to
test the policemans idea of time told him
10 tell the jury when nve minutes was up
Inc policeman looked ut the opposite wall
and waited while quiet iell over the court
room. Suddenly Justice Jaycox broke The
silence by suggesting that if it was to be 4
perfect test the big clock on the opposite
wall at which the policeman was intently
staring should be muffied. While every one
Uttered, the policeman was requested TO
turn around and look ut the rear wall. He
proved TO be a poor judge of the flight of
time, for before fifty seconds elapsed he
said 1t was five minutes.
Doctor Very Pale.
He gave place to Mrs Jennie Edmonson,
the wife of the coachman employed by Dr.
Slocum of Far Rockaway. She said she
was returning home about $50 o'clock on
the afternoon of the murder and us she
passed the Guy residence she saw Annie
Hansen run out of the house with her hands
above her head and call two policemen who
were across the street. A little later she
saw DIR. Guy leave the house by the front
door and walk slowly across the lawn Then
she saw the policeman arrest him. She
said the doctor did not appear to be in
toXicated, but he looked very pale. Mrs
Edmonson made a good witness for the
prosecution, and she was succeeded by Dr.
Slocums little daughter, Gertrude. who was
too young 10 be sworn.
She was with Mrs. 'Edmonson as they
passed the Guy house at the time of the
murder, and she corroborated about all the
former had said. Although Miss Gertrude's
feet did net touch the floor rs she sat in
the witness chair, and she spoke in 4 clear
childish voice, the jury appeared to take
more interest in her testimony than in that
of most Of the other witnesses.
