Cruesome Evidence
 In Murder Hearing
Defense Counsel Loses Fight to Exclude Blood
 Stained Garments as Evidence; Jury Excused

day afternoon when States Attor- ney William Fitzgerald offered blood
 stained sheets, pillowcases, and blankets as evidence.
 Assistant Defense Attorney Will liam w. Gager objected strenuously to the admittance of these objects, but Judge Munger overruled the objections in all but one instance; and the jury, which during heated debate retired to its chambers, re- turned to view the blood-sodden evil dence. Four blankets whcih Fitz- gerald attempted to introduce were discarded when Defense Attorney Gager pointed out tot he courtt hat bloodStainS on the blankets might have been made after the crime, or during the period when Beall was wrapped in them.
 Dr. Wilbur J. Moore, Cheshire examiner and personal physician to the Bealls, described the bedroom of the murdered man. At great length he told of seeing MT. Beall lying on the bedroom floor vainly trying to get up off the floor. His head was crushed, blood covered him from head to foot, and bed clothes strewn over the room bore mute evidence of the struggle which occurred a short time previous.
 Dr. Moore remained on the wit ness stand during most of yes- terday's session. He identified shoes undergarments, set of false teeth which was found in one corner of the room. and photographs made of the body at St. Mary's hospital.
 Court recessed at o'clock to Tuesday morning at 10.
