Both Seen
At Dance Hall

Immediately after their ar
rival she undreSSed in the bed
room. Imagine her horror, She
said. when Ezra Dillon, her
father. walked into the room
and advanced upon her. First
she ordered him out, but he paid
no attention, so she ran past
him into the kitchen.
Her fight was brought 10 an
abrupt halt by the stove placed
against the extreme wall OF the
house. She turned 10 face her
attacker: her father advanced
determinedly. As she gripped
for the stove in frenzy, her right
hand closed over the handle OF a
butcher knife.
Frantic with fear, she remem-
bered only hazily what hap
pened after-she struck out as
hard as she could with what
she had in her hand, and the
next she recalled was that she
was on the porch screaming for
help.
She graphically portrayed a
helpless young woman defend
ing her honor.
Yet. the officer pondered, IL
she was undressed when at
tackled, wouldn't she later, al
most instinctively, cover herself
with the nearest garment at
hand instead OF performing such
an elaborate toilet7 Also. when

at least a half hour.
The detective next decided to
examine Dorothy Bardon'S
clothes. He had a matron re-
move the black satin party
dress, the black underslip and
the silver slippers from her
cell. These were packed very
carefully and shipped to DR..
Henry Dehn. professor Of chem
iStry at the University Of Wash
ington. With them went a
stained box of soap chips that
was found on a shelf above the
kitchen sink.
Then, consulting with the
autopsy surgeons, Kuntz found
they were all in accord that at
least a small amount of blood
would have followed the with
drawal OF the knife.
And there was no blood.

no evidence OF blood upon her.

DIR. Dehn Reports
Blood on Dress

Doctor Dehn reported a week
later that he found blood on the
front of the black satin dress.
and also upon the soles OF the
silver slippers. And a further
test by Doctor Henry. university
pathologist. determined that 1t
was without question human
blood, as was also some tiny
spots on the soapbox. Doctor
Dehns tests established, too,
that the soap chips had been
used in an attempt TO wash
away the blood stains from the
front Of the dress.
Now IL was Obvious TO the
detective that the girl had lied
about being undressed when she
stabbed her father-the vile ex-
cuse for her inhuman act was a
lie, She had been fully clothed,
waiting evidently for her kindly
father 10 disrobe before she
struck him down.
