Witness Defies

BY RAY GIRARDIN

PONTIAC, Dec. 5-Walter r.
Pinkham. 55-year-old Avon Town
ship turkey farmer, belligerently
sought today 10 bolster The shaky
testimony of his wife, Minnie. star
witness against Edward A. Bellm
in the Young murder case.
Angered by persistent efforts of
Louis j. Colombo Jr., defense at
torney, TO undermine the story
that Bellm visited their turkey
farm the night Mrs, Alberta Rose
Young was murdered, Pinkham's
h arp rejoinderS on cross-eX-
ANIMATION brought him several
admonitions from Justice Luther
| {. Green.
NEAR MURDER SCENE
The Pinkham farm is two and
half miles from the spot where
Mrs. Youngs body was found
Oct. 81. Bellm has said he was
nowhere in the vicinity, and spent
most of the previous evening at
home.
On the other hand, the Pink
hams both testified he visited
them at 9 p. m. on Oct. 80.
Pinkham himself had written
the Oct. 80 date and the dates of
two previous visits by Bellm. oct
Ia and Oct. 20, on a piece of paper
he had in his pocket When ne
took the witness stand in Bcilm s.
examination today. he testified
that the first visit was on oct 20.
REFRESH HIS MEMORY
Challenged by Colombo, he
fished in his pocket and corrected
himself from the memorandum.
When the attorney questioned his
need TO refresh his memory the
farmer became furious.
What were you reaching for
In your pocket" Colombo asked
That's piece Of paper"
was the witness reply. do YOU
want to see it,"
Without waiting Pinkharh
hurled the sheet at him. He eN-
planned that he had made the
notes because he couldn't 'Temem-
ber dates very well.
MORE SHARP EXCHANGES
After several more sharp eX-
changes, Justice Green instructed
Pinkham merely to answer Co
lombos questions.
'Is witness supposed Ia Sit
here and take all your lip"
point.
Justice Green repeated his adj
monition before the attorney could
