any finger prints or photographs. There
was none.

Assistant District ATTORNEY Walter

could find nothing to show that Stew
art McMullin had been tried and con-
ylcted Of any crime in Westch ester

warden of Sing Sing prison, said he
remembered man by the name of

me and ! shot him." is what Reynolds
told McMullin.

said to have told, Carlton rushed at
him with knife and he fired in self
defense. DR. Norris, chief medical ex-
amlner, says that the wound is in the
back of the head and that it was fred
at close range. And Reynolds said
yesterday that he went upstairs and
could find no knife.
Mr.. Joyce says that he has evidence
that McMullin is guilty of homicide
and that the proceedings against him
VIII be the same as if he were not a
Federal agent. He says that the stories
told by Carini's wife, Anna, and his
daughter, Malvina, who were in tho
apartment a the time of the raid. yarv
