PathoIogist Says 0yereIIs
Were Killed by Explosion


SANTA ANA, Calf, Aug. 81
Attorneys for Louise Overell, 10
and her fiance, George Gollum, 81
today summoned further medical
testimony in an attempt to disprove
the States contention that the two
fatally bludgeoned her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Walter E. Overell, before
dynamite blasted the Overell yacht
in Newport Harbor March Is.
DR.. Albert F. Brown of Los An
geles, first medical witness for the
defense, told the trial jury un-
equivocally, yesterday that his ex.
animation of the bodies at the sec.
ond autopsy April % convinced hin
they were killed in the explosion.
The body and head injuries o
both MIR. and Mrs. Overell were sus
tanned simultaneously, DR.. Brown
testified, and added: 1T is my alb
solute conclusion that they wer'
alive at the time the injuries wer'
incurred"
This medical testimony was in di
rect conflict with that of severa
pathologists who testified for tn
prosecution. The States doctor
said that the Overells were dead al
hour or two hours before the dyna
Unite blast. The States medica
testimony was in line with prosecu
tor Eugene Williams contention
that Miss Overell and Gollum killet
her parents with a piece Of iron pip
and rowed ashore after wiring II
sticks of dynamite to clock and ,
storage battery.

the chemical trust had agreements
He said the Farben-Standard OF
agreement delayed for years the
development Of synthetic rubber
and fuels in the United States.
The general cited the 1929 agree
ment between Farben and the oil
company as ian excellent illustra-
ton OF the manner in which Far
ben, in close cooperation with the
Nazi government, utilized interna-
tional cartel arrangements in the
interests of the German war econ
omy."
STANDARD Oil recognized Farbens
priority in the chemical business
and, except In Germany, Farben
recognized Standard OILS priority
in the oil business" the prosecutor
said. Standard was to turn over to
Farben new chemical processes, un-
less allied to the oil business, and
Farben was to give Standard new
processes related to oil and gas.
THE Standard OIL Co. observed
the agreement meticulously." Gen
Taylor said. "Farben, on the con-
trary, behaved with calculated de-
ceitfulness."
Assisting Gen. Taylor in the open

bois, jr., of Camden, N. j., deputy
chief Of counsel, and Drexel A
