Eighteen-year-old Ella Mae Coo- per gave details of events she said preceded the brutal murder in a park at nearby Spanaway.

 Prosecutor John J. O'Connel, who signed the murder warrant, said yesterday, Ella Mae broke her long silence when she rode into the park with two servicemen and a girl friend July IA O'Connell said the girls memory had been psychologically blocked" since the tragedy.
 Chief criminal deputy Dick Me- Creadie said Ella Mae hysterically told them she had kept the sec- ret under threat of death from Smith, a former employee of beauty school attended by Nor cen and Ella Mae.
 Ella Mae gave additional de- tails last night to a Seattle Post Intelligencer reporter. Earlier the sheriff's office reported they had made a wire recording of her statement, which gave similar de- tails.

Shirley Booth, an actress whose
versatility and ability are amply
proved by the many awards she
has been gathering, finds her
stage fame q bit ironic.

ducers) wanted me to play roles
where I appeared like was an

Montgomery Cliff sits nervously

Monty Goes on Trial
.And q Star Is Born
Another Actor Climbs to New Fame
In q Movie Lawyers Role
By HoroId Heffernon

Lionel Barrymore, for example.
won his only Academy Award by
playing the brilliant. but alco-
|holic. lawyer-father Of Norma
'Shearer in "a Free Soul" Be-
fore that, Barrymore's career had
slipped and he had gone in for
directing. While. directing "The
Trial Of Mary Dugan," he sought
Ia character to rise suddenly from
the witness chair for dramatic
effect. He was told this couldn't
lbe done, since the actor would
bump his head on the microphone,
which had to be placed just
above camera range.
Barrymore asked, "Why not
move the microphone then?" Up
Ito that moment nobody had
Thought to move a mike. All
were stationary. SO they put it
on q boom and. as the actor
rose, so did the mike. Hence. it
was in q courtroom scene that a
microphone moved for the first
time.
Lionel's brother John played
one Of his most colorful roles in
1.-THE Great Mouthpiece." Then
lthere was Otto Kruger who did
i"Counselor at Law" on the stage
for many seasons. and also
starred in the screen duplicate of
the play.
Years ago William Powell was
Ia featured actor at Paramount.
He was used almost entirely in
villain parts, until finally they
chose to make him star. For
the first time, his name was to be
above the title of the picture. The
story selected was "F'or the De-
fense," in which Bill was a scream
ling criminal lawyer. Dana An
drews had a prize lawyer role in
Boomerang" in which he played
Homer Cummings, former United
States Attorney General.
Always FOpulaF.
Courtroorns always have had q
kick for fandom. You can go way
, back to "Manslaughter" Of 1922,
in which a district attorney had
to send to prison a girl he loved.
1t was played in silent days by
! Thomas Meighan. with Leatrice
Joy as the girl. It was the pic
ture that made a tremendous box
office star Of Meighan. Later, in
!. sound, Fredric March and Claud-
: cite Colbert teamed successfully
in the same gripping vehicle.
: Gregory Peck impersonated a
lawyer in q similar story. "The
Paradine Case" in which he was a
prosecutor who fell in love with
a murderess he was attempting
: to convict. Wendell Corey made
his first hit in an attorney role
via "Thelma Jordan" and Ronald
Colman will always be remem-
Ibered for his courtroom scenes in
"The Tale of Two Cities"
Robert Cummings, Humphrey
IBogart, Clark Gable, Robert
Montgomery, Spencer Tracy-go
right down the starry list and
you'll find the toppers have played
attorneys at least once. Vincent
Price found the vicious prosecutor
role he played in Song Of Berna-
Idette" shunting him from obscur-
Iity to stardom. and Cornell Wilde
Ihad the same experience follow
ing his legal tussles with Gene
Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven -
And how about Lewis Stone. who
