The first definlte Indication that Capt. Guy E. Burlingame intends % deny the authorship of the collecticn of love letters which Mrs, Helen F.

Burlingame has ad- mitted that the signature attached to the widely discussed “broken-hearted daddy” letter and several other docu- ! ments is his own, the defense made a move to prove that the actual contents and sentimental passages were written by some one else without the knowl- edge or consent of the veteran police officer. William E. Leahy, chief defense coun- sel. spent the entire morning cross ex- amining Dr. Wilmer Souder, measure- ment and typewriter expert of the Bu- reau of Standards, in an attempt to | show that the typewritten letters were produced by a speedy typist with a light touch. whereas Capt. Burlingame is sald to be a slow typist with a heavy | touch. Testifies on Typing. Dr. Souder is the expert who made a minute examination of the typewriter found in Burlingame's office in the sec- ond precinct station house and on which he testified on direct examination, all of the typewritten communications in- | troduced as evidence in the case, were written. After a severe ‘cross exami- nation by Leahy he finally agreed that | the normal combinations of letters writ- len on the typewritten business com- munication were piled together in the love note indicating that the latter were produced by a speedier typist using a lighter touch. The trial board room was crowded with the administrative officials and ranking officers of the Police Depart- ment, who had been summoned by the defense as character witnesses. These included Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superin- tendent. of police: Inspectors Henry G. Pratt, William S. Shelby and William G. Harrison and a dozen police captains. Three other captains were on the floor | below conducting the weekly session of i the regular police trial board. The summoning of the high police officials as witnesses for the defens: was taken as an indication that Burlin- game plans to rely on his 33-year record With the Police Department as a com- parison with the reputation of hi dccuser who so freely disclosed her past . Aside from the Police Department officials the defense also plans to call & number of police privates who have served under Capt. Burlingame in the second precinct. Most of these. it fr understood be used to picture Mrs Blalock's v to the station house. The trial was 15 minutes late getting started this morning. due to the delay of Chief Defense Counsel Leahy in reaching the sixth precinet police sta- tion. Burlingame came in behind him smiling. It was 10:15 o'clock when Chairman Davison called the trial boare to order. Afternoon Session Opens, Half a dozen additional defense wit- nesses had augmented the Police De- partment group when the afternoon session of the trial board opened. These included Robert N. Harper, president of the District National Bank, where Mrs. Blalock had a real estate trust note; Daniel J. Donovan, auditor of the District: Maj. James L. Lusby. disburs- ing oficer of the District, and Maj. William L. Peak, superintendent of the District Jail. Despite the presence of the largs group of defense witnesses, Leahy con- tinued his cross-examination of Dr Souder, questioning him in detail aboui the letter characteristics and letter combinations in the “heartsore daddy* ana other documents. Line by line, Leahy went over the words in the docu- ments and called attention to the shad- ing and other peculiarities of the letter in & further effort to show that the | business letters were written by a slow typist with & heavy touch. while the love messages were written by a speedy typist with a light touch.
