at that time?". Mr.. Corrigar
asked. ~
Il was groggy."' DR.. Sheppard
said,
/ What kind of pain were you
experiencing?" Mr.. Corrigau
| continued.
| "A very deep-seated ! pain,
DR.. Sheppard related, and more
than pain, a feeling OF insta-
bility and looSeness. as though
my head was going to topple
of, as though there was not
enough support for it."
DR. Sheppard said he remem-
bered hearing the Houks and
seeing them vagnely in the den.
He added. that lie did not re-
member the position he was in
at the time 81
What is the next thing you
recollect ~ Mr.. Corrigan asked
the witlaess.: 81.
Il remember pr. Richard (his
eldest brpther) told me Marilyn
was gone and .the couldn't do
anything for her DR.. Sheppard
replied. n remember falling to

Remembsfs Talks With Police.
DR.. Sheppard said he remem-
bers vaguely, talking to police
officers on the scene and then
he went on:
Il remember DR.. Stephen (his
other brotheD was there. There
was a mass Of confusion gener-
ally. I remember DR.. Stephen
saying something about getting
me out. I believe told him
I had been walking and could
get to my feet. I was aided out
to DR.. Stephens car, ! can't
say by whom or how"
On the drive to the hospital,
Sheppard recalled that Betty,
DR.. Stephens wife, called his at
tention to ''the fact that I was
shuddering, quaking."
He said he remembered seeing
his father. DR.. Richard A. Shep-
pard, at the hospital but was un-
able to remember. as a previous
witness testified, that in the
X-ray room he had kept moan
ing: Il tried to get to Marilyn."
Earlier DR.. Sheppard had re-
lated that he was asleep on q
downstairs couch when his wife
cried for help.
Says He Heard Her Call.
"The first thing I can recall"
DR.. Sheppard began, was hear
ing Marilyn call out my name
once or twice, followed by means,
loud means, and noises of some
sort. "

Sheppard replied.
What were your feelings a;

| tinued.
Il was Mortified" replied DR.
Sheppard. Il was shaken beyond
explanation and I felt that
maybe I'd wake up, that maybe
this was all a terrible nightmare
or dream.
"And I walked AROUND and

Doesn't Recall Words.
DO you recall what you said
to him." MI. Corrigan asked.

Sheppard.
Mayor Houk testified that
when DR.. Sheppard phoned him
that morning, he said. MY God,
Spence, get over her quick. I
think they've killed Marilyn."
do you recall the length of
time before the Houks arrived?"
Mr.. Corrigan went on.
1T seemed like a long time.
but evidently it was a short
time" said the defendant.
do you recall what you were
doing?" Mr.. Corrigan asked.
Il was walking through the
house again" DR.. Sheppard said,
trying to clear my mind, trying
to remember what happened,
trying to fix description of this
person, trying to determine
whether there were two people
or one, in fact. thinking then
tRere were two. I stopped in the
kitchen and put my head on the
table and that was the first time
I realized I had very severe
pain in my neck. Shortly before
the Houks came + was in that

DR.. Sheppard then testified
that he was not aware of any
injuries except to his neck until
later in the hospital.

decided to go to Marilyn. which
did as soon as I could navigate.
My subconsciouS feeling was that
Marilyn was experiencing con-
hvukion as she had earlier in her
pregnancy.

went into her room and I felf I

dqng issasYfry vague recollec-
tion Of coming to. right next to
Marilyn's bed. facing south. I
recall vaguely recognizing my
wallet on the floor beside me-"
WAS there any way to de-
termine the length of time be-
tween the time you were knocked
out and the time you came to?"
asked Mr. Corrigan.
mo. SIR" replied DR.. Shep-
pard. mo way I know Of"
Then he identified the wallet
when it was presented to him,
and a recess interrupted his re-
cital at that point.
Recollection Vague.
In previous questioning, Mr..
Corrigan went over the period of
time after DR.. Sheppard fell
asleep on the downstairs couch
while watching television, to a
moment when he was awakened
by Marilyn's death cry.
II have a very vague recollec-
ton of being aroused between
the time I went to sleep and the
time I heard my wife cry out"
testified the defendant. MY
only definite recollection is that
I was aroused when my wife
notified me She was going to
bed"
He said he did not recall that
an attempt was made to awaken
him previously because the NOV
ing picture on television was
getting good"
The Importance of this testi-
mony is In connection with the
brown corduroy jacket DR.. Shep-
pard was wearing when he fell
asleep. The State contends it
was found in a neatly folded
condition on the couch the next
morning, hardly the way it
would be found if a man had
slept in it or on it. The de-
fense has replied that the doctor
could have taken the jacket off
during a brief interval of SEMI
consciousness. draped il along

the couch, and then fallen back
asleep.
Testifies to Falling Asleep.
Earlier the defendant had
testified that before he fell
asleep he had held his wife in his
arms while they sat in the same
chair watching television.
Or. Sheppard described a re-
laxed evening which began with
dinner with his neighbors, Mr..
and Mrs. Donald Ahern. After
dinner. he said, the two couples
went into his living room and
began watching television. Later,
he said, he lay down on a couch
on his stomach.
Then, DR.. Sheppard continued,
he fell asleep. He could not fix
the time of this.
DR.. Sheppard again wore q
dark suit, white shirt and a dark
blue knitted tie. Like his first
day on the stand. he appeared
to be calm and he testified in
a low, even voice.
When he first stepped up to
the witness stand yesterday, the
tiny courtroom was packed. The
jurors, some of whom have been
heaYy-eyed heretofore IN the
afternoons, leaned forward, look
ing at him intently. A heavy
silence filled the room.
Defendant Calm On Stand.
DR.. Sheppard testified in a
high-pitched. slightly nasal voice.
He gave every evidence of marble
calm.
One or twice the shadow OF a
smile fiickered across his face.
Once or twice he swallowed and
drew a deep breath before an
swering a question put by Mr..
Corrigan.
And occasionally DR.. Sheppard
was too talkative for Corrigan.
The lawyer growled once that
he did not want DR.. Sheppard
to "enlarge''-the witness own
word-on an incident. Again he
said: well, I'm not interested
in that"
DR.. Sheppard seemed eager,
anxious to talk. The judge, sharp
nosed Edward Blythin, admon-
ished him against giving too
many of these details"
Mr.. Corrigan did not attempt,
in the main, to have DR.. Shep-
pard tell his story in sequence,
starting from the time the doc
tor met and fell in love with
Marilyn Reese, as he said, when
he was "13 or a."

Or, Sheppard then paused
briefly; but in the silent court
room 1t seemed like an inter-
nlinable time. He continued:

Thoughts on Life
Brotherhood
BY DR.. JOHN HOLLAND

hood? 1t is being talked about every
where While the word at first had
a religious meaning, it is being applied
to the economic and political situations
which are arising among men and ma
tons.
Judge Joseph M. Proskauer thought
long and deeply about how he might
translate the deeply religious meaning
of brotherhood into some simple rules
for our everyday living.
He boiled it all down to four rules
which compel us to think about it.
l. II will spread no rumor, and no
SANDER against any sect differing from
my own" Rumors are roamers look
ing for minds to inhabit. The COM
monest and dirtiest attack against the
opinions and convictions of others is to
start rumors about them. The popular
name for this is ''smear." 1t speaks
of the honesty of others with raised
eyebrow. To spread a rumor is as bad
as starting it.
There is so much good in the worst
of us,
And so much bad in the best of us,
1t i'll becomes any of us
To talk about the rest of U.S.
II. 81 will never try to indict a
whole people by reason of the de-
linquency of any one member"
We do not condemn a whole case of
eggs because we happen to find one
rotten. There are good and bad people
in every race. There are good and bad
people in every church and in every
faith. So far as I have been able to
see, each branch of the human family
has about the same proportion of good
and bad. They who throw mud always
dirty their own hands. AS the Bible
has it: EVIL communications corrupt
good manners" Someone once asked
President Grant why the sin of one
otherwise good man looked so large
He replied, For the same reason that
a crow looks so big when sitting in
a snowdrift." We cannot whiten our
own thoughts by enlarging on the
blackness of another's conduct.
III. II will daily deal with every
man in business, in social and political
relations only on the basis of his true
individual WORTH
What lot of trouble this would cure.
Robert Burns lines are to the point:
1.-THE rank is but the guinea stamp,
The mans the Gold for a. that"
In the competitions of life, it is never
smart, nor moral, to defraud any man,
simply because he happens to be in a
weaker position. Strong people exist.
not merely for themselves, but for the
sake of their weaker brothers.
". ''In my daily conduct 1 will con.
Secrate myself hour by hour to the
achievement of the highest ideal Of the
dignity of mankind, human equality
human fellowship and human brother
hood"
There are three levels in Brother
hood. One is the level of common
blood. How thin this blood gets whel
we act from selfish motives only. The
second is the level of the pledged oath
That is better, but it fails when human
anger flares. Treaties are easily brok
en- and passion strains any people. TIL,
top level is that of the converted life.

And Crime Problems

foreboding thoroughfare that
would reach from here to
Richmond.
The city also has 638 miles
of alleys, of which 418 are
unlighted. And, according to
MIR. Friede, the downtown dis
trict's principal shopping area
F street-would be pretty
dismal were not the street
lights augmented by store
display windows.
Modernizing the lighting
system would be an s. million
to $40 million replacement
job, he says.
It would mean replacing
thousands of 18-foot lamp
posts with new-type 25-foot
posts. Instead of the present
upright, incandescent lights,
which throw the bulk Of their
illumination upward, the new
lights are the mercury vapor
type which hang from arms
extending from the posts and
throw a more brilliant light
downward over a greater area.
Perhaps the electrical de-
partment's prize example is
Key Bridge, where 81 old
style lamps were replaced
with 26 modern luminaires.
The power cost for the old
lamps was $3,138 a year, but
while the bridge now Is lighted
more brilliantly, the power
cost is only $1,526 a year.
Thus, in less than three years,
the saving in power costs is
more than the s., 800 spent to
replace the lamps.
Improved lights also have
been installed on stretches OF

A REASONABLY new ap-
IA proach to the growing
problems of crime, juvenile
delinquency and traffic acci-
dents appears to be gaining
momentum in Washington.
It is based on the statiS-
tically backed realization that
a definite relationship exists
between lawlesSnesS and acci-
dents and inadequate street
lighting.
Consequently, District off,
cials and private citizens alike
have closed ranks, so to speak,
for a frontal attack on the
problem which, as far as crime
Is concerned, has stamped the
city as one Of the worst in
the country and, as far as
accidents are concerned, re-
suits in numerous deaths and
injuries and a mountainous
property damage bill each
year.
They are pushing for COM
pletion of the city's 10-year
program to bring the street.
lighting system up to date.
Although the program is more
than four years old and con-
siderable work has been done,
the program still is only about
one-tenth completed, accord
ing to Herbert A. Friede, Dis
trict electrical engineer, and
the overall system still is
.woefully obsolete.
It is so obsolete, in fact,
that only 14.2 miles of the
city's 985 miles of streets have
lights that meet present-day
standards as defined by the
American Standards Associa-
ton and the Illuminating
Engineering Society.
To go further, If the city's
lis miles of unlighted streets
were placed end to end, they
would stretch into one dark,
