Noxon Loses
Objection
BY JOSEPH NOLAN

United Press Stan Correspondent
Pittsfield, Mass, June IS - %.
P) - Defense strategy to defer the
testimony of key medical witness
for the prosecution was thwarted
today at Attorney John F. Noxon
Jr.'s murder trial in the electrocu-
ton of his defective infant son.
Despite vigorous protests that his
testimony, would be "a violation OF
the parents right" State Patholo
ogist Alan r. Moritz of Harvard
Medical School was permitted to
continue on the witness stand after
an hour and half conference OF
counsel.
The objection was raised by De-
Tense Attorney Joseph B. Ely ON
grounds that DR.. Moritz was merely
an observer at the autopsy perform
ed last September 20 on the body
Of 6-month old Lawrence Noxon.
Ely contended that Medical Exc
aminer Albert G. England Of Pitts
field, who performed the autopsy,
should have been called first, and he
said that DR.. Moritzs testimony
would be unfair to the defendant
and violation Of the parents
right"
The defense strategy was an at-
tempt to block the pathologista
testimony until an opportunity had
been given to weaken 1t. DR.. MoritSI
was expected to support the pro-
secution's contention that dumb
bell-shaped" burns on the baby's
right forearm indicated the use Of
a clamp to fasten the electric wire
to the child's body.
The 47-year-old defendant has
maintained that his sons death was
an accident.
Defense counsel sought to cross.
examine DR. England before DR.. Nor
itz because the medical-examiner
had left the death scene apparently
without suspicion of crime. DR..
England returned to the Noxon
home next day after talking with
police.
In cross examining DR.. Moritz, Del
Tense Attorney Joseph B. Ely will bel
advised by his medical aides. DrI
Milton Halpern, assistant medical
examiner of New York, whose testi-
mony figured prominently In the re-
cent Wayne Lonergan murder trial,
and DR.. Charles G. Lund Of Boston,
whose work among victims Of the
Cocoanut Grove night club holo-
caust attracted wide attention.
Reproductions of the baby's burns

day during the testimony of Mrs.
E. p. Ramsdell Of Harvard medical
school who sketeched them from DR..
Moritz's notes. Procoked by Elys
line of questioning, Mrs. Ramsden
declared:
"Sir, these are almost exact like
nesses Of the baby's burns although
I myself never saw the actual burns.
These reproductions were made in
DR.. Moritz's laboratory from his
autopsy notes. They are not faxed,
as you have implied"
Ely apologized, but indicated he
would object to their being Shown
to the jury.

front of the post Office shortly
after o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The car was registered in the
name of James Polanls, So Bunker
Hill avenue. Police discounted the
theory that the theft had any rela-
ton to the official papers. An eight
state teletype was sent out yester-
day to police departments to watch
for the stolen car.

Chicago, June 15-(UP)-National
Chairman Robert E. Hannegan sum-
moned Democrat leaders to a meet
ing today to make arrangements for
the party's convention opening July
10 and select keynote speaker and
permanent convention chairman.
Gov. Robert s. Kerr, Of Oklahoma,
a staunch administration supporter,
was mentioned most prominently for
the keynote role among members OF
the committee on arrangements ar
irving yesterday. They also ex-
pressed some sentiment for Kerr as
permanent chairman.
The meeting today will be the
first for the Democratic arrange
ments committee. The Republican
committee on arrangements met
here the latter part of April and
named Gov. Earl Warren Of Califor-
mia keynoter, and Rep. Joseph w,
Martin, COP minority leader in the
House, as permanent chairman.
Sen. Alben w. Barley, Demo-
cratic majority leader, also was
mentioned for the keynote post.
Barley, who broke with President
Roosevelt over his veto Of the tax
bill, but who since has supported
the president, has been doomed
among party leaders for keynoter
or permanent chairman. He served
as chairman of the convention four
years ago.
Gov. J. Melville Broughton, of
North Carolina, also has been men,
toned as possible keynoter.
Keen johnson, former governor Of
Kentucky, who arrived yesterday,
said there was a possibility that
his states delegation may present
Barkley's name at the convention
for the vice presidential nornina-
ton.
Neither johnson nor other Demo-
cratic leaders were willing discuss
Vice President Henry A. Wallace's
chances for denomination, but they
indicated that numerous members

venson is teaching the Stevenson
Bible Glass, named for the late Rev.
Hugh A. Stevenson.
Some years ago group of men not
particularly interested in church.
going or Sunday school met at a
theater near the church. Urged on
by Roe Fulkerson and Charles
Shackelford, they began an expert
ment in Bible class sessions. Among
the group was genial Hugh A.
Stevenson, whose gift of fellowship
soon placed him in the key position
of teacher.
The class became known by his
name. Near the end Of Mr.. Steven
sons life he induced the late Senator
Logan, Democrat, of Kentucky to
take over the class. Following the
same pattern, the younger Steven
son first filled in for the Senator
as teacher and on his death moved
into the instructors job, which he
now holds.
Mr.. Stevenson, who is manager of
Graham & Ogden Real Estate Co.,
said he has been teaching Bible
school classes since he was in high
school. He has developed a lecture
method of setting up the Biblical
lesson by illustrations taken from
the morning newspaper, the comic
feature, the moving picture or the
radio. His aim is to bring out the
inner meaning of the subject rather
than technical details. People are
more concerned with the practical
or applied side of Christianity than
with theological discussions" Mr..
Stevenson declared.
