who saw him that evening testified he was wearing a uniform.
 The confessed slayer told the cor- oner, T was fully dressed to go to work when this happened. In fact, I threw her out of the car with my uniform on and I didn't have any blood on it." He said he was quite surprised he didn't get blood on his clothes in view of the presence of "so much blood in the car, on her clothing and everything. He said, T laid in bed and got up to see if was all splattered, but I didn't see anything"
 Asked by the coroner when he de- cided to use the gun on Mrs. Plum gis, he replied, When went up- stairs" Later, however, he said he didn't know why he went upstairs.

ZukauSkaS, who testified he liked 'iSteffie" very much and worried about her during the night she lay dead and unburied on a bride path in Middlebury, said he intended to take her to the hospital after he first wounded her during an ar- gument ill car on Alder street, and then he was going to "beat it out somewhere and use the gun on myself"
 While enroute to her mothers home on Arnold. street, shortly after she was wounded, she enraged him by cursing and splitting at him and saying, T am going to put you in your place." zukauskas alleged.
 His reply to that, according to his testimony, was: "You already have. You don't think for one min- ute when take you to the hospital and bring you up there, I am not going to be 8 policeman any more. am all washed up. You did what you wanted to do"
 Planned Way Out"
 He continued, T fired the gun at her which had intended for my self. I wasn't going to go into the hospital. was going to bring her up there and let her go in her. self, and I was going to beat it, go somewhere and use the gun on myself, and she changed my plan"
 He claimed that when he first met her that evening he told her, T want to get that police job and nothing is going to stop me-" He testified, she replied, If I have something to do with it you are not going to get that job. .. I will take that badge off you"
 The plight of Zukauskas, who, by his own confession, at midnight in thick fog sought a burial spot in the woods for the slain woman, is made to read even more like fic- ton mystery thriller by his revela- tion that he passed a police car only second after he shot Mrs. Plungis and drove to look for a place to hide her body.
 The transcript of testimony, talk en by the coroner and now on file at the superior court office, quotes Zukauskas as saying that when he left the shooting scene on Bradley avenue and headed down Fairmount avenue to Highland avenue, the car, bearing the body of the woman on the front seat, passed a police car.
 T don't know whether it was the motor patrol, but it was one of the police cars" he added. T thought they were following me for while. They were not, I found out"
 When questioned if he was angry at Mrs. Plungis during the alterca- tion in front of his home he replied, T wouldn't say so. liked her very much to tell you the truth. wouldn't say was angry with her." III one part of the testimony, in referring to leaving the body 1n Middlebury, he stated, T let her stay there all night. l kept worry ing about her"
 One of the angles of the case which has aroused wide speculation among local mystery readers involves the uniform worn by the former supernumerary on the night of the shooting. When asked by the cor oner how he prevented getting blood on the uniform he replied he did not know.
 No Evidence on Uniforms
 Zukauskas said he was surprised there was no blood on his uniform. He had testified previously he owned only one uniform, and witnesses
