The judge expressed the opinion
Grammer deliberately destroyed
evidence of the murder. including
a suit he wore that night. The
court said that because the de-

suit, he was led to the conclusion
that the clothing was blood spat-

destroyed.

State Asked First Degree.
The State rested its case against
Grammer earlier yesterday and de-
manded q verdict of f1rst-degree
murder against him after final
summation.
Assistant States Attorney j.
Harold Grady declared that
Grammer murdered his wife with
willful and deliberate premedita-

evidence that the death was not
accidental.

the defense. had insisted the
highest penalty should be no more
than that for manslsughter be-

failed to prove premeditation.
Miss Mizibrocky was the final
witness for both prosecution and
defense. She told of her love for
Grammer. his promise to marry
fher and their stay in a Chicago
hotel as man and wife from July
Is to August 4.
Mr.. Grady asked the court to
consider Grammer's statement
when he said he got a ''little mad"
because his wife had accused him
of thinking more of his job than
he did of her and the children.
The prosecutor said Grammer had
admitted that he rarely lost his
temper and that the defendant
probably did not lose his temper
on that occasion, but instead. was

Mr.. Federico pointed out that

five or six drinks with his wife
and that she had two drinks at a
Baltimore tavern before the argu-
ment.
The defense ridiculed the con-
tention that Grammer was "hope-
lessly" in love with Miss Mizi-

Mizibrocky obviously was ma
