but had absolutely no experience
in connection with the RESPONSE
bilitieS in a homicide case.
MOVING OF SCREEN
The wooden screen upon which
the prosecution claims the de-
PENDANTS fingerprint was found
was moved several times before
the Miami police arrived.
Then on the following day. July
9, occurred an episode which may
be destined 10 make legal history.
Dorothy Clark has now testi-
fed that somewhere between IL
and IL o'clock an American de-
tective took the accused upstairs
at WeStbourne.
In his testimony, at the pre-
liminary hearing. Capt. Melchen
had stated that about 3 or 4
o'clock in the afternoon he had
asked the accused 10 accompany
him upstairs TO a small room
northwest of the hallway. That
at that time Constable Knowles
was on guard at the door OF Sir
Harry's bedroom.
At the preliminary examina-
ton, Capt. Barker testified that
he had tried to secure latent
prints from this screen on July
8, that the humidity was so great
that he placed the folded screen
in the hallway at about $3.50 on
the afternoon of July 8.
The print which he identified
as that of the accused was taken
the following day.
CHANGES TESTIMONY
He had resumed his examina-
ton OF the screen at II q. m. on
July 9. =,
Now comes important changes
in the testimony of Capt.
Melchen.
Capt. Melchen says that he now
believes II was not around 3 or 4
o'clock that he took the accused
upstairs but that it was nearer
noon.
Perry Mason can't comment on
this situation but Perry Mason
doesn't need to.
AS Perry Mason remembers the
facts, Capt. Melchen's testimony
was given at the preliminary
hearing on Aug, 3, less than a
month after the date Of the muir
der.
Perry Mason has limited that
the peculiar order in which the
prosecution has called witnesses
at the trial had some significance.

Considering the testimony
