State Rests
In Hampson
Murder Case
Defense Counsel
Ready to Tear
Down Testimony

After little more than one full
days testimony the state rested
its murder case against James
Hampson before noon Wednesday.
Immediately Frank Hale, attor-
hey for the defense announced to
the jury of eight men and four
women he would present evidence
to refute the entire circum-
stantial case, even to the human
blood found on Hampson's trousers.
Stadium Boys Testify
Final witnesses called by Deputy
Prosecutor Hugo Metzler. jr.. were
two Stadium high school boys
both of whom swore they saw a
car which was identified as Hamp-
sons drive up the street where
the murdered young woman. Miss
Virginia Rifle, lived the night of
the crime. The boys were Loren
Cowling and Clarence Hjelle.
Another Rifle neighbor, Ken
meth kenworthy. said he had seen
the car parked near his house
several times during the two
months before that early morning
Of Feb, 81 when Miss Rifle was
bludgeoned over the head and
fatally injured.
Separate Ways
Attorney Hale said he would
show Hampson and Miss Rifle had
gone separate ways after the
time last September when she had
him charged in justice court with
beating her and taat tina young
Fife milk truck driver had gone
around with another girl living
two or three blocks from the Rifle
home and parked his car in the
neighborhood frequently.

He said he would show that the

and that the deep cut spurted
blood.

Evidence that Hampsons car
was warm when officers arrested

showing that Hampson had ar

they arrived and that cars Of that

lists have been received. AS the Rector
of the Church, FIR. Kenneth Dep.
Hughes, said at the close of the pro-
gram and on behalf of the Sunday
School Teachers, their many friends
gathered here and myself we thank
YOU and bow our heads in deep adora-
ton for your spiritual out-pouring and
generousness."
The program got underway, after
the usual professional hymn, with an
organ Interpretation of Boellman's
Suite Gothiuue by Elwyn Barrow. Mr..
Barrow gave a very skillful presenta-
ton. The next number was an offer
ing by the st. Bartholomew Choir,
"Christ Came Walking in the Night"
by Noble Cain. It has long been said
by music critics around Greater Bos-
ton that this choral group is one of the
best to be found and Judging by their
work on this program they we'll de-
serve all that has been said and can
be said in their favor.
The next artist who appeared needs
no introduction to music patrons in
this section. Mrs. Ina Braithwaite's
colorful career has endeared her to a
large following. Her first presentation
was a violin solo, elaboration" by
Borowski, which was played well.
Later on the program Mrs. Ina Braith-
waite returned to plav piano duet
with one of her pupils, Marie Wharton.
The number was Symphony Eroica'
((1st movement) Beethoven. After
the program Miss Wharton was com
plimented highly for having played
so well, especially with one so adept in
pianoforte. In her last appearance. Ina
Braithwait teamed with Elwyn Bar
row in duet for organ and piano.
They played Mendlesohn's Concerto
G Minor. 1t was rare treat to hear
two such renowned artists together.
As soloists, Ruby Agnew and John
Powell could hardly have been bet
tered. John Powell sang a group of
songs by Mendelssohn, Be Thou Faith
full (Aria), Ye People Rend Your
Hearts (Recitative), and If With All
Your Hearts (Aria). Miss Ruby Ag-
new sang Schubert's Ave Maria. AS
her well controlled contralto voice
raised the strains of this immortal
work one couldn't help but sense the
feeling that music is for the glorifca-
ton of God and the recreation of the
soul.-George R. Sicily.
