surrendered 1t.
"The gun was sent by Sheriff Fields
10 the Bureau Of Standards. From then
on, as Campbell was interviewed by
police, the sheriff and the States at
torney, he continued to repeat the
story Of the man with the wart on his
nose. As a result Of his claims that
Herman Barrere killed Mary Baker, .
nation wide search was instituted. He
was then taken into custody in Canada
and brought back to Washington.
I'VE viii show that after the return
Of Barrere, Campbell withdrew his
charges against the man and said he
never would have had him indicted.
He then was asked to detail his move
ments on April IL. In the first inter-
view, he said that from to 4:30 or B
o'clock, he was In his real estate ONCE
his ONCE in connection with real estate
matters. A short time later, he said he
had been incorrect In his original story.
He then said he was in his ONCE from
until 4:30 or and stayed there con-
tinuously: that he didn't leave there ct
all until he went home for dinner. He
said that at around 7i20stllat night, he
came to washington TO bring his son
TO q Scout meeting at Fourteenth street
and Park road. He said he dropped
his son and went into q corner drug
store for shaving supplies. He then
went to visit friends.
Later, he said he did not leave his
son. but went into the meeting before
visiting his friends. Asked once more
about his movements, he repeated he
had been in his ONCE from 1880 until
S. Explaining he didn't leave because
he was waiting on q lady he had TO see
on business.
Asked About Woman.
HE was told to be careful because
his story had been checked. After
further reflection he swas again asked,
and replied his story was true. He then
was asked who the woman was he had
parked with on the road q short dis
lance from the culvert where Mary
Bakers body was found at 4 o'clock
that Afternoon. He demanded that his
QuestionerS be more specific. They told
him he had been seen on the road with
the woman and had taken her to
Twentieth and M streets. He was told
he later had called her by telephone
and warned her to be careful about
telephoning him because he believed
his wires were tapped. He was told he
questioned, that he had been spending
the afternoon showing her the beautiful
approach to Arlington County.
After this information was given to
Campbell, he admitted that 1t was so.
I'VE will show that later when the
gun was identified by DR.. Souder, Of
the Bureau Of Standards, as the weapon
used In the murder, he said he was not
surprised. On top of that, he repudiat-
ed the story he had told about the man
with the wart on his nose.
He asked that the gun be sent to
Chicago for further examination. This
was done. Now we expect to show you
three experts examined the gun, Col.
Calvin Goddard, DR.. Wilmer Souder
and Lieut.. John Fowler. Each will
testify that from tests they made the
gun was used in the murder.
Never Out Of Possession.
I'VE will show that in connection
with his conversation on the night OF
the arrest, Campbell said the gun never
had been out of his possession at any
time and it would have been Impossible
house to get 1t.
Furthermore, Campbell told the
police: You have got enough to ar
rest me, convict me and execute me.
