Detective on Stand. By the Associated Press GREENVILLE, S. C.. Auzust Under a bitter fire of crossexamina tion, W. W. Rogers maintained today that every unexploded clue in the midnight slaying of Sheriff Sam D Willis_pointed ‘only to his widow Mrs. Ethel Willis, and to Townsend, his deput friend, who went on tr day for the murder. During the detecti trafls followed by officers and_ the subsequent nhectis ination conducted by J: attorney, Mrs. more composed than she had been the trial began. She laughed tily at an interchange betwi State and defense lawyers just before adjournment. Townsend continued to exhibit the utmost nonchalance. Rogers, ded generally as the chief investigator in the Imitted during the crossexamination that he did not have the pistols with which the 36-year-old sheriff was shot down at his garage door a few minutes after midnight on the morning of Sunday, June Detective Declared Biased. The two .32-caliber which figured in early repor investigation, the detective testified, belonged to Robert Lee Goings, Greenville electrician, who, according to the witness, was one of the first suspects in the case because of a rumor that the slain officer had been intimate with Mrs. Goings. But tests made by W. M. P v of Columbia, the detective said, indicated that neith of the pistols had been used in firing the four fatal shots into the sheriff’s head and hody. Mrs. Willis, he con- tinued, denied emphatically that she ever had heard the rumor about her husbahd and the electriclan’s wife. Price and Col. Alvin H. Dean, chief of defense staff, joined in telling Judge Millidge L. Bonham that they expected to show Rogers had been unfair and biased, and had not conducted his in- vestigation of the murder in good faith. The detective was asked if he had not gone to interview Mrs. Willis the first time en Sunday afternoon with a suspicion planted in his mind by other officers, alleged to have been un- friendly to Townsend, that she and ‘Townsend were guilt: “Positively no,” he replied.
