10 Fingerprints al
Scene Of Staying

A Police Department finger
print expert testified today at
the FIRST st-degree murder trial Of
Willie Lee Stewart that finger
prints taken at the store of
Harry Honikman, slain grocer,
were made by Stewart.
Police Sergt. Robert Sand
berg testified the prints were
taken from a soft-drink bottle
and a potato chip bag in the
store at 723 East Cpaitol street.
It had been testified earlier
that the gunman who shot and
killed Mr.. Honikman, 65, in
March. 1858, during the course
of robbing the grocer Of $4l6,
had drunk soft drinks and eaten
potato chips before drawing a
gun. The money was taken from
q cash register after Mr.. Honik-
man was shot.
Ballistics Expert Testifies.
Robert zimmers, Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation ballistics
expert, testified tests showed
that bullet taken from the
body of Mr.. Honikman was fired
from a pistol which the prosecu-
ton contends was used by Stew
art in the Staying. Stewart is 80
and colored.
Stewart is being tried before
q Jury in the U. S. District
Court for the District Of Column
,bia. Judge, Burnita Shelton
Matthews is presiding.
The prosecution finished pre-
senting evidence shortly before
noon.
Defense Attorney Foster Wood
told the jury he would introduce
testimony to show that Stewart
is of unsound mind. Mr.. Wood
said he would ask the panel to
acquit Stewart on grounds Of
insanity. Mr.. Wood had reserved

until today.
Points to Accused.
Mrs. Edith Burka, daughter
of the slain man, yesterday

room and said he was the gum
man.
Mrs. Burka, who was in the
store with Mr.. Honikman and
her mother, testified Stewart
was in the store from 20 to IS
minutes before drawing q pistol.
Mrs. Burka said she yelled:
Daddy, give him the money"
She added that her mother told
the bandit: Here is the regis
ter, take the money! She testi-
fed that Stewart shot and killed
her father, even though no one
made a move as If to thwart
the bandit.
Stewart was tried and con-
victed in June, 1858, Of the
first-degree murder charge. His
conviction, however. was set
aside last July by the U. s.

trict Of Columbia.

New Method 10 Test
ChiId's immunity 10
Polio Is Developed
" the Assseia,sd Pres.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Feb. IL
The development Of . simpli-
fed. more practical and much
cheaper method Of testing .
child's immunity to polio has
been announced here.
Mixtures Of easily reproduce
able cancer cells with polio virus
and blood serum show, in Q
small laboratory test tube.
whether the child Is susceptible
to any one or all three types
Of polio.
II there is sufiicient protection
in the blood. the mixture turns
yellow. II the mixture remains
red. the child Is susceptible.
Now Ready for Use.
DR.. Murray Upton and Dr..
Alex ]. Steigman, research spe-
cialists In child health problems
at the University Of Louisville
who perfected the test, said 1t
is ready for immediate wide
spread use.
It's chief immediate signifi-
canoe, they explained. is that
smaller laboratories will be able
to participate in the testing
program. thereby making pos
sible a much broader program.
It is simpler and cheaper, they
said, because it eliminates the
use Of monkeys or monkey kid
neys and takes less time for tech
nicians; more practical because
it requires less space and less
time.
Proved methods used in the
past required q series Of about
1000 tests and the sacrificing
OF about 200 monkeys. which
cost $35 each. Two to three
months were needed for a final
analysis, and the cost per test
ran UP to $1,000 or more.
10 Test Tubes Required.
The Upton -Steigman test re-
quires just 10 test tubes for each
subject. It Is completed in seven
to eight days, and the cost will
be. roughly, $25 to $50 for each
test.
| A key to the development is
the use Of He La cells, q type of
cancer cells which can be grown
in large quantities in glass bot
ties and test tubes.
"Once Q laboratory gets q sup
ply Of He La cells. it can grow
all it needs for future use.n DIR.
Steigman explained.
These cells are mixed with
polio virus and blood samples
from the subject being tested
and left in incubation cabinets
for one week. Then they can be
examined for coloration.
Separate tests are made for
each type Of polio virus.
