Kelly, These are my gloves'-not that
they look like my gloves"
The prosecutor defended the testi-
mony of Goddard and Souder, praising
them on their ability, reputation and
experience.
Lied On Witness Stand.
II don't remember" Collins said.
that ever before used this expression
in court. I don't like to do it. I am
convinced. however, that Campbell Is
and tncorrigible and an unmitigated
liar. He even takes the stand and
admits he was a liar, but he says i
didn't kill Mary Baker You gentlemen
know he lied on the stand in this case" I"
In concluding, Collins said he wanted
the jury to realize the evidence "is being
submitted to you for your Judgment.
You are not to take my Judgment or
that Of the defense counsel. take it
you are going to be guided entirely by
the evidence. I feel confident each
one Of you win make a careful and
calm decision on the facts, devoid Of
sympathy. II you do, ] win be
satisfied"
Before beginning an analysis Of the
circumstantial evidence produced by the
Government, Smith declared he felt
certain the jury realized "No chain Is
stronger than its weakest link. So you
win, know, set out to test the strength
Of these links in the chain Of circum-
stantial evidence produced by the Gov
ernment. When you do, you will agree
with me that all the links are weak.
Says Alibi Perfect.
IT venture to say that never have you
seen q man placed on trial under such
circumstances. Never before have I
known q man to talk himself into q
murder case. If Herbert Campbell had
been more discreet in the words he used
and more careful in expounding his
theory as to the murder Of Mary Baker,
he never would have been called on
for an explanation of his own actions" ="
Smith declared the most significant
fact In the case was that Miss Baker
must have been criminally assaulted be-
fore she was slain, and yet the Govern
ment insisted she had been killed at
Sixteenth and B streets ct about pm.
April IL.
He scoffed at the idea that the girl
could have been attacked in as public
place as Sixteenth and B, or that
she was killed and then assaulted.
The Virginian declared that should
said, It must remember "CampbellS
alibi is perfect. It Is substantiated by
records. If, in spite Of the 1lendish
propensitieS the Government would
have you believe he possesses. the Gov
ernment surely won't say Herbert
Campbell would kill q girl at 6 o'clock
and attend Scout meeting at T."
Photographs Criticized.
Yesterday afternoons session was
marked by examination Of Albert H.
Hamilton, defense crininologist. Out
standing In his testimony were charges
that prosecution experts had resorted
to "phoney" bullet photography in an
effort to convince the jury bullets ex-
tracted from Miss Bakers body had
been fred from Campbell's revolver.
Hamilton centered his attack on God
dard and DR.. Wilmer Souder of the Blu
reau Of Standards. He contended q
comparison microscope had been ma
nipulated by Goddard in order to dis
tort photographs which the Government
witness had testified depicted similarity
the death and test slugs.
Souder was charged with RESPONSE
bility for "phoney photography" by the
witness. Hamilton expressed the belief
that Souder had sliced UP bullet pic
lures and rearranged them one over the
other In shingle fashion, finally re-
photographtng them to make 1t appear

used.
Compensation Issue Up.
The white-haired expert said he
wouldn't be surprised at anything"
when asked by Collins whether it would
surprise him to learn that Goddard's
had not been made through
. comparison microscope. Shown the
negatives Of Souder's pictures, the wit
ness said he detected lines which indi-
Gated two distinct photographs had been
joined together and rephotographed.
Under cross-examination Collins drew
from the witness statement that he
had been paid $3.50 to date for his work
In the case He offered to tell what he
expected ultimately to receive. The
prosecutor avoided making an issue Of
The question.
Collins read from the records Of q
trial before the Surrogate's Court in
County, N. Y, in which the
court was quoted Is characterizing
Hamilton as q "discredited witness"

ative theories"
