COURT WILL DECIDE
CAMPBELL SP|STOL
CLASH TOMORROW
Controversy on Ballistics
Test 0yershadoWs Fate
of Man on Trial.

With the fate Of Norbert NJ Campbell
temporarily overshadowed by the fate
of q archaeological science that has &C
cused the realty man of Mary Bakers
murder. the District Supreme Court to-
morrow is due to decide whether dra-
matte laboratory tests shall be staged
to determine the dependability Of such
technical testimony.
The foundation thus has been laid
for what may develop into an epochal
and far-reaching trial Of the modern
science of forensic ballistics-a science
upheld by the Government as exact
and infallible," but declared by the de-
Tense to be wholly unreliable"
Justice Jesse c. Adkins, presiding in
the sensational murder trial now under
way in Criminal Division No. 2, will be
called upon tomorrow to consider which.
If either, Of two proposed tests-that Of
the prosecution or that Of the defense
viii prevail.
Governments Proposal.
The Governments proposal. made in
the form of . challenge, which at first
was accepted by the defense, but later
declined In favor of o substitute propo-
sition, is that Col. Calvin Goddard,
world-famed authority on gun idenifl-
cation, be permitted to demonstrate his
art to the jury in what would resemble
q "blindfold" test.
Col Goddard would not be blind
folded, actually, of course, but would
leave the court room while bullets are
fired from half a dozen different pistols
chosen by the defense or the court.
Then, with the aid Of special COM
parison microscope, he would undertake
to tell from the tiny scratches on the
slugs from which barrel each had
emerged.
Although Charles Henry Smith, chief
Of defense counsel, promptly announced
to the court Friday his acceptance of
the challenge" conferences which he
had yesterday with associate counsel
and with Albert H. Hamilton, defense
criminologtSt, resulted in revision" Of
the acceptance and the offer of q sub
stitute proposal. Notice Of this revised
attitude was given by telephone to AS

Dr.. Reichelderfer was unable to say
which appropriations were wrongly deb
tied, or to explain how the error came
to be made He said that he had
been informed that certain items in the
Immediately available" list in one Of
the appropriation bills, probably the
1929 bill. had been wrongly construed
as still to be paid for after they had
already been financed and the money
paid. That resulted in the erroneous
belief that these items would have to
be taken care of in the 1881 fiscal year,
the current year, whereas they had al
ready been paid. This led to an error
in calculating the amount available at
the end of the 1881 fiscal year, next
July, and the ensuing decision to set the
1882 tax rate at S1.80 to take care
