the widow, several days after De
Marigny was arrested.
During the reading Capt. Melchen
had his account revised to say that
on July 9 Capt. Barker and Maj
Herbert Pemberton of the Nassau
police went to Photographic labo-
ratory for the processing of a print
which they said was De Marigny's.
Later, Capt. Melchen said, the
print was taken to Miami for addi-
tional processing, after which Capt.
Barker told Lady Oakes he thought
the impression was made by the
defendant.
Somewhat testify, the stern pre-
siding ofncer pinned Capt. Melchen

Don't you know that this evidence

Pemberton (Maj. Herbert Pember-
ton of the Nassau police went to
the RAF photolab to process a print
they said was that of the accused"
While reading for Capt. Melchen'S
approval his longhand account of
yesterdays testimony. Sir Oscar in
advertently brought into the record
the fact that the weapon used by
the attacker to strike Sir Harry
four times on the head was not
found.
The justice also brought out that
no footprints were found inside Sir
Harry's estate, Westbourne, or on
the porches despite the fact that
it rained heavily the night of July
7-8, about the time of the Staying.
Harold G. Christie, real estate
dealer, has testified that he slept
all night in a room near Sir Harry's
and found the body next morning
when he went to call his friend to
breakfast.
Questioned by Juror.
Recognizing the Importance of the
fngerprint, the defense has sought
through cross-examination Of prose-
cution witnesses to show that De
Marigny was taken to the second
floor OF Westbourne for questioning
during the investigation and thus
might then have touched the bed
screen on which the print allegedly
was found.
Questioned by a juror, Capt. Mel
chen said fatty today that the de-
fendant had no opportunity to touch
the screen when he took him upstairs
about noon July g.
In reading back his account Of
Capt. Melchen's testimony yester-
day, Sir Oscar paused after
passage which referred to an "ob-
viouS weapon" He turned to Capt.
Melchen and asked:
What was the weapon?"
II don't know. SIR" replied the
detective, who delivered some of the
crowns key testimony against De
Marigny.
"Oh," grunted the chief justice,
resuming his reading
Sir Oscar referred to part of
Capt. Melchen's testimony which
was at variance with the statement
the officer gave at preliminary
hearing for De Marigny.
IF you had not known about the
evidence given by 1t. John Douglas"
asked the justice. would you have
changed your testimony about TAX
ing the accused upstairs between
and o'clock?
THE time element is important,
you know"
Would Have Changed Testimony.
Eyes, SIR" said Capt. Melchen. "I
believe I would"
The time at which Capt Melchen
took De Marigny upstairs at Cakes
estate, Westbourne, for questioning
July 9, the day after Sir Harry's
body was discovered, is significant
in connection with the f1ngerprint-
an impression of De Marigny's little
right finger which Capt Barker will
declare was found on a bedscreen in
the death room.
Capt. Melchen had testified at the
preliminary hearing that he did the
questioning between 3 and pm.
Previous witnesses at the trial have
told of seeing the accused man being
taken to the second floor about
noon, and the detectives account at
the trial agreed with their version.
Defense attorneys have framed
their questions to suggest that De
Marigny might have had an oppor-
tunity to touch the screen during
the investigation.
Capt. Melchen has quoted the de-
fendant as declaring the night Of
July 8 that he had not been upstairs
at Westbourne for three years.

Boston, January 21. (UP) - New England's shoe factories have received 40 per cent of all govern ment shoe awards and are concen- trating on war production at the expense of civilian output, Dun & .Bradstreet, Inc, reported today.
 The New England Shoe industry, the association said, is maintaining its military production about last years levels ''btt$ supply and labor difficulties were reported cutting into civilian output and heavy de- mard for civilian footwear, incom- pletely filled in many instances prevented the usual building up oi stocks on staple items."
 Meanwhile, the districts genera record levels for this season, tn- industrial activity, continued a' creasing moderately over the previ' ous January record as heavy wal industries and textiles operated close to practical capacity" Dun & Brad street said. o'h'a
 Retailers reported trade activity somewhat exceptionally high sales scored last year in the stock-up buy ing rush as large demand for soft goods was insufficient to overcome the severe decline in sales of dura- ble goods, fuel oil and gasoline.

Special publicity regarding the home nursing project, and also the Red Cross nurses aides service, is baing handled by IA stations of the National Broadcasting Company in an effort to acquaint women with the nature of the instruction and the itl1portapt part 1t playes, espe- cially il war time.
 Tn a letter to Norman Davis, chairman of the American Red Cross President Roosevelt recently said, "As doctors and nurses go into the armed services, some means must be provided to aug r1ent those left in charge of civilian health. I am sure that the 1943 campaign to recruit the minimum of one million students in Home Nursing to guard home and con- ataunity health will go far towards maintaining the civilian health of the nation during this critical period." >l,
 Major General James O., McGee, Surgeon General of the U. 8. Army, after. speaking of the tremendous Army needs says =. "The civilian tco will need care during the ri1lths to come. Defense workers, children, and invalids also will have to be under trained and watchful s.as. This is the assignment of the tomer of America and the answer Ens in the Home Nursing and, Nurses Aide courses. ts,>f
 Rear Admiral Ross T. Mcintyre, who Is the Surgeon General of the U. s. Navy, in appreciation of the seriousness of the situation, also en- tcrses this drive.
 Thomas Parran, Surgeon General of, U. S. Public Health Service, says that while "epidemics have accom- panied were throughout history, with the right kind of preparation and sufficient medical care, there Is every reason to hope that our nation will be spared an epidemic during and after this war. The American Red Cross and many pub- lie health organizations are doing the country Q great and needed service through the campaign to recruk million students in Home Nursing to help care for family and community health. It Is Wtally nec- eSsary that the quotas should be surpassed during 1943".
 A spokesman Of the local Red Cross Chapter said today, "At the rate registrations have come in during the last month, 1t is neces- sary to face the fact that the wo- men of Waterbury who have not taken the course and who, with planning, could, are falling down on their responsibility when they do not consider this situation seri- o,islv."
