after Heath's dcash. ana Helped clean
up tho house. He saw several blood
stains on the floor. one of these stains
was about IA inches in diameter. The

to give any idea of how much blaod

One Of the government most i'm
porta1t witnesses, DIR. \. c. Breitling
Who testified yesterday, was recalled
lie told eff a visit to Mrs Dodge s
home after the shooting, when he was
accompanied by Attorney General
Sargent and Deputy Sheriff J. y.
Dodge. Mrs. Dodge, he said, showed
them the revolver and a box of cart
ridges The two bullets which were
found on the floor of the room where
Heath died. We're identified by the wit
ness and entered as exhibits. DR.. Brett
ling pointed out that these bullets Were
not alike. one of them was curved and
the other was flattened. DIR. Breitlng
examined the revolver at the time ana
found some blood on it, but could not
see any traces of putty. This fact was
brought out by the prosecuting attor-
news to controvert the theory that
Heath committed suicide. Heath was
a painter and working with putty, and
the government attorneys rely on the
absence of traces OF putty on the re-
volver to show that the victim of the
shooting did not handle the weapon.
DR., Breitling also said that the cloth
ing Which was taken from Heaths
body was placed in a bundle by Dr.
Stcne, the state pathologist, and that
after the bundle was officially sealed
it was given to the witness for safe
keeping. It was not opened until after
ii had been sent to DR.. stones labora-
tory.
The cross examination of DR.. Brett
ling did not bring out any new facts,
although Mrs. Dodge's attorneys ask
ed him if he had not been unduly ae
tive in assisting the prose cutions case
by talking with the various govern
ment witnesses. DR.. Breitling said that
he had done considerable work in con-
nection with the case. When asked il
he had not given Mrs. Dodge to under
stand that he was working in her in
autopsy he told Mrs Dodge he would
do what he could for ner.
Some little stir was caused in the
court room when Irving Sisby testi-
fed that on the day of Heath's death
Mrs. Dodge had said in his presence.
"Ill have to go up for this; / know I'll
have to go UP for this
Silsby said that he went to the
Dodge home shortly after Heaths
death and saw Mrs. Dodge. Mrs. NJ. u.
Bowker and Mrs. II. G. Howard. wife
Of the Congregational minister there.
