to ten the story of his life on
April IL.
But Attorney Vandoren walked
up and down before the witness
chair rs the witness talked, occa-
Aionally STRENGTHENING out some
point in the complicated alibi
and at other times helping Camp
ben With Q question.
Mr.. Campbell'S testimony fol
lowed that of his wife, who also
bolStered UP his alibi. It pro
ceeded coincidentally with the
ballistic tests which Government
experts are making, In an effort
to prove conclusively that 1t was
Calnpbell's pistol which fired the
fatal bullets. Reports on the test
will. probably be held up until
after the defense has rested its
case.
Attorney vandoren, when Mr..
Campbell got on the stand, asked
him..
'DO you recall the day Of
April IL, 1892"
eyes SIR"
do you recall particularly
the afternoon of April II and
XOlHr mOvements?"
ssYes SIR"
'Will yOu tell the jury In
your own, way OF your move
naents on that afternOOn?"
Here the defense attorney again
began pacing the floor while the
defendant launched into q long
detailed explanation Of what oc-
CURED to him on that afternon.
The defendant changed his. posi-
ton ana looked toward the jury.
He was dressed In q blue suit
with q light stripe, tan shirt,
dark tie and a green boardered
handkerchief was In his pocket.
LOw-VOiced Story
His hair showed signs Of being
cut in the past IL hours and he
was pinkly barbered:
Mr.. Vandoren then sat down
near his client and the jury
leaned forward In an effort to
grasp each word, at times hardly
audible from the witness.
II had lunch at my home at
about noon and about 1880 /
went to my office where call
Cd Mrs. Parsons on the teIe-
phone. made arrangements
10 meet her at Fifteenth and III
Streets, Northwest, between 2
and 2:3O.
= left my office as near as
Il can remember, ut about 1:45
and made q stop 1T Highway
Bridge. Then about 2:15 I
reached Fifteenth and II where
Mrs. Parsons was waiting for
me. She got into the machine
and we drove to Georgetown,
stopped at the Potomac Savings
Bank and went on across Key
Bridge, then north along VIII
son Boulevard, where ]. stopped
at house that was being built.
Changes One Point
aT then went down the
boulevard to ROsSlyn, from
Cemetery Road. Then I talked
with . man at an oil station
about two coIOred men who
were to mix some sand for my
golf course. / continued on to
the first entrance to Arlington
Cemetery which Is the Sheri-
dan Gate. Now / don't like to
conflict Mrs. Parsons testi-
mOny, but the car did not go
into the cemetery at any time.
There is o dirt road which goes
into the old part Of the GENE
terry and i parked there I'm full
view Of traffic.
'We were there possibly .
half an hour or maybe three
quarters and q commander I'm
the Navy passed there, but I
do not know IL he saw me.
"Then we rode around quite
O little while and at 4:15 we
came back to Washington. We
came aCross Highway Bridge
and then to 21OO Nineteenth
Sc. n. w. I did not 50 into
the apartment with Mrs. Par
sons. / then proceeded down
-. Nineteenth Street. Now this
Is entirely conjecture: When
the police asked me what route
i took on my way home I told
them If / took the logical
route / would have gone south
ON Nineteenth to Dupont Circle,
to the right Of the circle, and
then down Nineteenth to Nir-
ginia Avenue to Seventeenth
Street, down s Seventeenth
around the north side Of the
Basin and across Highway
Bridge and then on home"
Passed Baker Car
Mr.. Campbell again changed
his position and looked around
the courtroom.
AS he Tnomentarily stopped talk
ing he coughed, which was fol
lowed by a siege Of coughing
from Mr.. Vandoren and dozen
other persons.
A deputy marshal gave Mr..
Campbell glass Of water. Mr..
Vandoren then asked:
'sThen yOu did pass Mary
Bakers car on your way home?"
Mr.. Campbell replied:
ct Is very possible that ].
did. i was shown where her
car had been parked and II l
went across Seventeenth street
i must have passed Il"
