ing of baby Norma Jean Green, 3.
Mrs. Marie Roberts Green, 22-year-
old mother of the child, gave the
Jurors a first hand account of the
events in her Ardmore, Md, home
Sunday, which she said. led her hus-
band, Robert Henson Green, to beat
Norma Jean with a leather belt be-
cause she could not spell a simple
word. Green. who is q. an unem-
ployed bricklayer, is described by po-
lice as the child's stepfather.
Neighbors Testify.
Neighbors. who heard the child
scream. physicians and rescue squad
men who treated her and police who
have been investigating the case, also
went before the jury. It was expected
their testimony would result in an in
dictment on serious assault charge.
which carries a maximum penalty of
20 years.
Beside Mrs Green, the witnesses
heard were: Mary Johnstone, Mrs.
Owen McGrain and Nora McGrain,
neighbors; DR.. Bernard Wantman,
Casualty Hospital physician: Headley
Gasch, Richard Murphy. Albert Fier-
stein, Melvin Kent, Bladensburg res
cue squad men, and Policemen Ralph

Child Improving.
While police continued their search
for the missing husband, Norma Jean
was reported to be getting along "just
fine" at Casualty Hospital this morn
ing.
Belated birthday gifts of toys, dolls
and clothing continued to pour in on
third birthday in the hospital yes
terday.
Her mother, who spends most Of
the time at Norma Jeans bedside,
asked the newspapers to thank the
many people who have been moved by
press accounts of the child's beating
to send gifts.
County police conferred with Mrs.
Green last night, but said today they
were without clues as to the where
abouts Of her husband, who has a
police record.
The officers say Norma Jean was
lashed with belt by Green when she
failed to spell Patty" Imprints Of
the belt buckle were left in her flesh,
according to members Of the Bladens-
burg rescue squad, who took her to
the hospital.
Norma Jean is bright child and
can spell many words, but apparently
was terrified in the presence of her
father.
