Germans promised reparations and

Colt Banistics Expert
by

Defense Stresses Thot
Specialists Testimony
Frequently Differs

The second trial of John Eugene
Eklund, accused Of the "sniper"
Staying of Hyland McClaine, colored,
II. continued before Justice James
w. Morris in District Court today,
with cross-examination by Defense
Attorney Harry T. Whelan OF j.
Henry Fitzgerald of the Colt Fire
arms Co. concerning his quallf1ca-
tions as ballistic expert.
During the questioning Prosecut-
ing Attorney John Fihelly interrupt
ed to ask whether Eklund had
asked Herbert Ray, prosecution wit
ness, to write the Colt firm for a
longer barrel for another gun Of
the automatic type. Mr.. Fitzger-
aid said the letter had been re-
ferred to another branch Of the f1rm
and that he did not know the con-
tents of the reply.
Mr.. Whelan sought to prove that

quently conf1icted, and went back
more than 20 years to the Sacco-
Vanzetti case in which Mr.. Fitz-
gerald appeared as witness.
Capt. Fowler Heard.
The witness admitted four bal
listics experts appeared and that
there was an even split between
them as to their findings.
The jury of five women and seven
men yesterday heard testimony
from Capt. John H. Fowler. ballis-
tics expert for the Metropolitan Po-
lice, and Mr.. Fitzgerald
Both men testified that tests they
made showed four bullets removed
| from the body of the victim and
from a tree in the rear of drive
in restaurant in Arlington where
Eklund had been employed were
fired from a .38-caliber Colt re-
volver.
The prosecution has submitted as
evidence a gun of this make and
caliber which police found buried in
Baltimore park in May. The gun
was recovered on information sup
piled police by Marvin r. Har-
low, who has testified the guns To-
cation was supplied him by Eklund
when the two were cellmates in Dis
trict Jail.
Uncertain About Gun.
Capt. Fowler said he was unable
positively to identify the revolver
as the one used in the killing be-
cause OF its corroded condition
Bullets fired from the gun in sub
sequent tests bore some similar
markings" to the four bullets, but
not enough similarities were found
to establish 1t as the murder gun
Capt. Fowler testified.
Both witnesses asserted that seven
unfired shells found in the revolver
were of the same make and size
as the four bullets recovered from
Mechanics body and from a locust
tree. On cross s-examination by Mr.
Whelan, Capt. Fowler admitted
many dissimilarites" existed be-
tween test bullets and the four
cartridges.

THE cataleptic state would have gradually
worn off, especially if the body were exposed
to rain.
THE loss of memory is medically explained
by the shock of waking under horrible condi-
TONS
Exposure to the storm and previous ex-
haustion would have added to the shock and
helped to produce complete amnesia (patho-
logical loss of memory. This state of COM
plete amnesia might have lasted years and
the claim that 1t subsidized only under condi-

Rance Bibhabati fought the case with re-

there were two great reasons for her OBJ

see the last funeral rite
performed.
Owing TO humane British legislation, the
Princes widow was not forced TO perform
suttee--to mount the funeral pyre-as she
would have been few years before. Instead
she retired to the Palace TO enjoy vast wealth
in comparative independence.
Many witnesses say they saw the Princes
body on its pile of aromatic logs waiting I'M
consciously the first touch of the flames.
Some even say that they saw him burnt up.
But suddenly with that abruptness char
acteristic of Indian weather around DarjeeI-
ing a terrific storm swept over the district,
with deafening thunder, binding lightning
and torrential rain. Drenched, deafened and
crazed with fear, the hired attendants fled.
The deluge quenched the barely started flames
and poured over the "lifeless" body Of the
Prince.
The opal-tinted dawn of India was break
ing over the deserted cremation ground when
the Prince feeling faint, weak and agonized,
opened his eyes and gazed with horror at the.
scene around him. He was lying in the
slight shelter of the partly charred funeral
pyre.
Around the Prince, squatting on their
launches and mumbling monotonous chants,
sat long-haired frowsy Sadhus, the sanity
beggars of India, naked but for loin-cloths
A vague realization of the terrors of his
position unhinged the Princes mind. His
memory was completely shattered. Half
naked, emaciated by his illness, his hair
matted with ashes and rain, tortured by thirst
and hunger, the Prince stretched his hands
toward the Sadhus, begging dumby for help
Silent and GRIM they helped him to the
best of their ability giving him such scraps
of food as their begging bowls contained. They
live perpetually on the border-line of starva-
