COURTROOM, COLUMBUS, Ohio
August 8.-The steel nerve snapped
and DR.. James H. Shook wept on the
witness stand as he told the jury in
his first-degree murder trial today how
he killed Theora Hix.
AS he approached the telling of the
fatal minute when he struck the first
hammer blow on the girls head the
steady voice faltered, his eyes filled with
tears and he cried openly.
For more than full minute he sat
there struggling for speech and dab
bing at his eyes with his handkerchief
DR.. Shook had walked into the court
room with smile and quickly took his
place on the witness stand.
Looked Refreshed.
He looked refreshed after the nights
rest.
Asked regarding previous testimony
that he had given narcotics to woman,
DR.. Shook explained that the woman
came to him for the narcotics to relieve
pain. He said he gave her a small
amount.
Referring to an alteration on the
Scioto golf course July 9, when he said
the girl broke up his golf game and
demanded that he go with her to their
room, DR.. Shook said she at the time
had derringer in her purse. He had
given her the gun some time before.
The questioning moved to the night
of the killing.
The former veterinary professor then
told of picking Miss Hix up near the
Ohio State University campus.
"I asked If she wanted to go to our
room. She said she would rather drive
I said, well, If that's the case, you had
better give me the key to the room.
