LA PLATA. Md, Sept. TO-
State police today were studying
the story Of two Washington girls
to bolster their theory that Air
Force Sergt. Homer A. Allison, 81,
murdered his young wife on Route
5 near here.
Allison, stationed at Andrews
Air Force Base, was charged yes
terday with the killing of Mrs.
Rosie Ann Allison, %, who died
at 3 am. Sunday, an hour after
she was brought to Physicians
Memorial Hospital by the airman.
Charges were lodged when, Alli-
son changed his story of how his
pregnant wife. the mother of three
children, was injured. He first
said she jumped from their speed
ing auto and later told police she
"just disappeared" from the car.
Guard Identity of Girls.
Police have refused to reveal
the identity of the two District
girls. However, Corpl. Fred B.
Collision said they were friends
|of the Allisons and were with
them in a Southern Maryland
tavern shortly before Mrs. Alli-
son was fatally injured.
According to Corpl. Collision,
the girls voluntarily appeared to
tell him details of a severe argu-
|ment that took place in the tavern
between the soldier and his wife.
The two young women. the
State trooper declared, were SO
upset by the quarrel that they
refused to get into the Allison's
auto for a ride back to Washing
ton. They said they preferred to
seek their own transportation
home.
Put Arms Around Girls.
Corpl. Collision added that Mrs.
Allison became enraged because
she saw her husband put his arms
around both girls.
He pointed out that neither Of
the young women had any con-
|nection with the death of Sergt,
Allison's wife, but he is Studing
their statements for a possible
motive.
Authorities also are awaiting a
report from State Medical Exam
iner DR.. Russell S. Fisher on a
sample of hair found on the
chassis of Sergt. Allison's late
model auto.
It has already been determined
that the strands are similar to the
hair Of the dead woman, but posi-
tive identification has not been
established.
Blood Being Examined.
A sample Of blood. proved to
be human, was also found. Po-
lice said enough of the blood was
recovered from the car to deter
mine its classification, and they
ARE awaiting a laboratory report
A fresh dent in the right front
fender Of the 1850 four-door
Chevrolet was also discovered. It
distorted the fender in such a
manner that the right front door
can only be opened approximately
II foot, leading police to doubt
the airman's story that his wife
Jumped or fell from the car.
In summing up the case, Corpl
Collision said he cannot reconcile
the blood under the automobile
and the jammed door with Sergt
Allison's statements that his wife
Jumped.
