The police arrived on the scene about five minutes after MacLean's return To a query by Paul, as to whether he had noticed any objects lying near the body such as “a fountain pen, matches or penknife,” Mac- Lean replied that he had seen none of those things but did notice a woman’s hair curler which he had not examined closely and was un- able to say whether it was new or tarnished. The witness said that he thought he would be able to recognize the type of curler. Questions as to whether he had seen anyone searching the vicinity, had himself examined the deceased Judge J.| y U. 8.

Also receiving close attention of the defense counsel in his cross-ex- amination were any indication of automobile tire tracks that the witness may have noticed in the area at the time of discovery. Few objections were interposed by the prosecution as the seeming- ly endless cross-examination con- tinued. A few, to the effect that the questioning seemed immaterial and was not confined to points brought out on direct examination were. over-ruled. | Proceedings in the Campbell mur- der case opened this morning by three defense motions. | 1—A renewal of a motion for the calling of a number of defense witnesses without cost to the de- fense, because of lack of funds by the defendant. | 2—That pictures or the deceased be made available to the defense. 3—That the defense be granted authority to examine witneses con-; fined in the Federal jail.

Witnesses Exgiuded Before calling of the first wit- ness, Judge Kehoe ruled that all witnesses in the case for both sides shall be excluded from the court| room at all times during the trial except when they are called to testify. Members of the jury panel who are not serving on the trial jury were excused by the Judge! until 10 o'clock next Monday morn- ing. Throughout this forenoon’s pr ceedings, the defendant, George| Meeks, maintained his habitual | stolid demeanor; his “poker face”| exhibiting no signs of emotion as| questions were put and answers| given. He spoke only when ad. dressed by his counsel. His replies then were brief and were delivered without change of expression. When mention of the woman's hair curler seen near the body by MacLean went into the record, ela- tlon was evidenced by Associate| Defense Counsel J. J. O'Leary. Otherwise, O'Leary’s only part in the action this morning was to prompt his associate, Paul, in con- duct of the cross-examination and to offer objection to MacLean's sketch being identified as a de-| fense, rather than prosecution, ex- hibit. Expectations that the current case will be a Tong, drawn-out affair| were more than justified by the trend established today in the de- talled cross-examination of the first | witness, MacLean. - RATE HEARING TO BE HELD TONIGHT | BY flY (ouNCiL Juneau’s Councilmen are to con- vene tonight at 8 o'clock in the City Hall for the special rate he ing on the current rate structure of the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company.

In addition to completing plans for participation in the observance of Social Hygiene Day, the election of vice-president of the Council is scheduled Another matter of prime im- portance is the question of future quarters for the Fublic Heal'h Center, which must soon vacate their present quarters in the Ter- ritorial Building, due to expansion in the Territorial Health Depart- ment personnel and activities.
