Case Objects to "Bulldozing."
Case objected to what he termed
Simpsons "bulldozing" and after a
brief exchange Simpson lowered his
voice and the witness said she was
wrong when she testified she had

paint dealer of Philadelphia, told Of
arriving at Lavallette about pm.
on September IA, 1922. He said that
in the evening he was walking along
the beach about 9:55 when he saw
Henry Stevens.
This would place Stevens on the
beach just a few minutes before the
killing.
Price said he remembered the date
because he had on that day sent a
report of an automobile accident to an
insurance company.
II know him." said Price positively,
on crosS-examination, when the
prosecutor asked if he was sure it was
Stevens he had seen on the beach. -.
II was within nine feet OF him.,
Price insisted.
did you ever tell anybody ABOUT
this?" Simpson asked.
"A couple Of witnesses on the way
up to this trial." Price replied.
You never opened your mouth
about it to any one else? How did
Henry Stevens and his lawyers know
that you had seen him?"
The witness said he misunderstood
the question about telling any person
and Simpson subjected him to rat
tling fire Of questions on why he had
misunderstood.

1922" Simpson continued.
II did not" was the reply.

of the killings. Her husband, in an
affidacit to the prosecutor, was un-

it?" Simpson asked on cross-exam1na-
ton.
Yes" she replied.
Then Simpson pressed for the little
