HATHAWAY CASE BEGINS TO MAKE
 SOME PROGRESS
Medical Examiner DemOn= strated How Pretty Nurse Verna Russell Was Strangled to Death
By FRANK MURPHY

United Press Stan COrrcSponuent) Newport, R. l., June 11-(UP)- The links of evidence by which the state hopes to convict Elliott Kan dall Hathaway for the staying or Verna Eloise Russell were in clear outline to-day as the trial went into the fourth day. The state contends the 2S-year- old son of a Fall River, Mass, leSis- lator strangled the 2O-year-old | Portsmouth nurse to death on a little used road near Tiverton on | March 23-on the night of their first "date." Attorney General Benjamin M. McLyman, in presenting the states | case yesterday. traced Hathaway alleged movements from the time he left Truesdale hospital in Fall | River with Miss Russell, until he 1 surrendered to Rhode Island au- thorities several days later in an Attleboro, Mass. hotel.
 The prosecutor ascribed no mo- l tive for the killing. During the original Investigation, however, he was quoted as expressing the opin- ion Miss Russell was stranglcd when she repulsed HathaWays ad- vances.
 pr Charles H. Bryant of Tiverton, medical examiner and the first wlt- ness called by the state, testlned ms autopsy showed Miss Russell dled from "asphyXia by strangulatlon.
 He demonstrated on McLyman how, in his opinon, a right hand had clutched the student nurses throat, choking her. Three black discolora- tions made by human fingers. were on the dead girls neck, he said. His thumb and fingers fitted these marks without stretching, Dr Bry- ant testified.
 Hathaway watched the jury at tentively as the medical examiner | demonstrated, from two positions,
 how he believed Miss Russell met 1 death. to avoid looking at pictures of the
 girls body, taken at the scene oi
 her death.
 | Although Hathaway is alleged to
 have purchased a quart of gin be-
 fore going on. the automobile ride
 with Miss Russell, she took little
 or no liquor, the medical examiner testified. Dr Bryant described In de' tail the condition of the nurses
 body, saying he found all of the or
 gans in good condition.
 lowered dress and other cloth ing Miss Russell wore on the night of her death were admitted into the evidence. Hathaway's gray-hairet
 mother, and Carl F.. Russell, father of the slain girl, were noticeably ar fccted when the wearing appare
 was shown.

 Storrs, Local Agent)

Storrs, Local Agent) Thursday, June 11-Strawberries were again liberal and low priced on the morning farmers market. Receipts by wholesalers from New Jersey were also liberal and low priced which together with unfav- orable weather resulted in a slow demand for the native offerings. A large share of the natives on sale were large and fancy but $500 per crate was as high as sales were re- ported. The same figure was the top selling prices for shipped in berries.
 Lettuce was still the weakest item on the list of native offerings, lib- eral supplies with demand only moderately active in spite of low prices being the cause. If hot weather arrivesit was expected that demand would become active and the supply offered be absorbed. High grade iceberg made up large share of the total on sale but little of it sold for more than Soc per box. Beets and spinach were liberal and the market for them remained weak, prices mostly unchanged. Cabbage from nearby sold mostly for $1.50 per box. Native peas mostly $2.50 per bushel.
