Prosecution Rests
Case Unexpectedly
In Mercy Killing
BY the Associated Press

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 81.
The State rested its second
degree murder case today against
Carol Ann Paight, q, accused
mercy slayer of her father, a
cancer sufferer.
States attorney Lorin w. Willis
announced completion of the
States case unexpectedly after
finishing with his ninth witness
in less than "a hours.
The final witness, Police Sergt.
Thomas J. Tamburri, said he was
in the hospital room where Miss
Paight was taken September %
after she shot her father and
heard the girl say: I'm not 60
ing to go to sleep until my daddy
dies"
Her 52-year-old father, Police
Sergt. Carl Paight. fingered a
short time and then died with
the bullet his daughter sent
through his brain.
Was Under Sedatives.
Sergt. Tamburri said he entered
the room where the girl was being
treated shortly before midnight.
The defense contends she was
under sedatives at the time for
hysteria that followed the Staying.
The witness said that when he
entered the room, "she was awake,
sitting up in bed with a glass of
water in her hand. I said How
are you, Sis?' She said oh, I'm
all right. How's my daddy?' I
said he was holding his own.
Then somebody took Carols
hand and said go to sleep, DEAR
She said I'm not going to sleep
until my daddy dies"
First Defense Witness.
AS soon as the State rested, the
defense called to the stand as its
first witness, DR.. William E. Smith,
the Stamford physician who broke
the news to Miss Paight the after
noon of September %. that her
policeman-father was dying of
cancer.
State Failed to Call Doctor.
The State called DR.. Smith into
court yesterday but never put him
on the stand.
DR.. Smith handed the Paight
family the diagnosis of cancer for
Sergt. Paight and gave the police
sergeant three days to three
months to live. This information,
the defense contends, sent Miss
Paight staggering out of the hos
pital in blackout caused by tenn
porary insanity. She returned with
her fathers gun and killed him.
DR.. Smith testified Miss Paight
sobbingly told him her father
must never know he had cancer"
Says Girl Was Agitated.
She was so shocked and in such
an agitated condition, the witness
said, that he called in a consul
tant, to consider whether the girl
should be removed to a private
hospital for psychiatric treatment.
DR.. Smith identified the con-
sultant as DR.. Clifford Moore,
head of a private Stamford sani-
tariurn.
The day after the shooting, DIR.
Smith testified. Miss Paight re-
membered nothing about the
events Of the preceding night.
She was then an annesia victim,
he said.

Royal commission sessions are
strictly secret. But when the royal

have to do is pass sentence after
the fermality of a trial.
Under our system a congress

now. The fact, however, that the
preliminaries are held in public

The manner in which Demo
cratic Senators dealt with Sena-
tor Mccarthy. the top witness
during the first two days o1
the subcommittee's investigation
created the impression that the
Wisconsin Senator himself wa.
being tried instead of being util.
lied as a useful witness. Also, the
presentation of names put in ar
unfavorable light persons wht
may have been guilty of gullibility
but certainly do not appear to b.
traitors.
The worst aspect of the specta.

which is taking place. The Statt

At the same time the America,

there could have been either al
