 The first witness to testify was Amza Biggs, Jr, police officer who discovered Ceilings body Wednes- day. Biggs described how he came upon the body lying face down on the sand. He related the condi- ton of the body, badly battered and showing the effects of expos ure and immersion, and said the hands and feet were tied with rope.
 Sergeant Robert Forest, Cove Neck policeman, was the second witness.
 Sergeant Forest found Mrs Col lings in the Bo-Peep, and was the first to hear her weird tale of pir- acy, Kidnapping and murder on board the Penguin.
 He related her story of how two "pirates," one a middle-aged man and the other youth of about IT., hailed the Penguin and came aboard. He told the packed court room again the details described by Mrs Ceilings of the scuffle on board, how she was forced to &C., company the men in a green canoe after they tossed her husband over- board, and of the efforts of the eld- CT man to attack her.
 Forest said he found Mrs Col lings in the Bo-Peep wrapped in blankets, and that she seemed dazed and hysterical after a night of fantastic experiences.

 The district attorney, who has expressed the belief that Mrs Col lings has not told the complete story of the affair, declined to re- veal further information, or to name the persons he considers as principals in the murder scene.
 Meanwhile, counsel for Mrs Col lings not only asked the public to accept her version of the amaz- ling events, but has advance the theory that a paranoiac com mitted the attack on the mar whose body, bound and battered was washed ashore at Lloyd'i Neck, l.. l., Wednesday morning.
