o EXPERT IDENTIFIES . CAMPBELL'S GUN Col. Calvin Goddard Tells A Jury Revolver Fired Fatal Bullets in Girl’s Body. ‘(Continued From the defense, who also has examined gun and bullets and announced complete disagreement with the find- ings of Col. Goddard and of two other | Government ballistics _authorities, Dr. ‘Wilmer Souder of the Bureau of Stand- ards and Lieut. John H. Fowler of the Police Department. ‘The elder Hamilton, excluded from the room with other witnesses, awaits an opportunity to take the stand in an effort to refute the triple-barreled expert testimony of the prosecution. N respo to questicns from the assistan| trict attorney, Col. God- dard iled highlights of his career as ml the pioneers in the science of nic ballistics” for court room fire- arms identification. | Tells of Qualifications. Goddard said he had been interested in firearms since the age of 17 and told of his long experience in the study of small arms*and bullets. He said he was & graduate in medicine and arts of Johns Hopkins University and a gradu- ate of the Army Medical School, here. ‘The detense made no attempt to ques- tlon Col. Goddard’s qualifications. Goddard told how it was possible “opdinarily” to ascertain the caliber of fired and unfired bullets, of determin- ing the makes of bullets and the type of powder used in firing them, and de cribed the difierence in stains leit in side a gun barrel by black and by smokeless powder, It was recalled in the latter connection that Ham:lton has declared the bullets removed from Mary -Baker's body were fired Irom shells containing a type of powder dif- he replied that was none of my affairs, whereupon I drove away.” Kelly declared he visited Campbell, May 15 or 16, and asked him what articles had been stolen from his home by Barrere. He said Campbell listed a suit of clothes, an alarm clock, some candy and other things. The witness said he asked Campbell if he had missed a pair of gioves. He quoted the real estale man as saying he b:lieved he had. Kelly asked Campbell whether he would know the gloves should he see them. Kelly said Campbell replied he could identify his gloves because ferent from that contained in shells with which Campbell’s gun was loaded when its owner voluntarily gave it to v Bullets Are Identified. Col. Goddard took the fatal bullets from the extended hand of the assistant United States attorney and identified them as the ones he had ex- amined in his laboratory at North- western University. He likewise iden- tified the gun as the one he tested during his examination in Chicago. At the request of the prosecution, he uced several small pill boxes which said contained the test bullets fired from Campbell’s pistol for purpeses of comparison with the slugs removed from the dead girl's body. Apparently anticipating an effort by the defense to take advantage of any variation in the markings on the mortal and test bullets, Collins had the witness explain to the jury that two bullets fired lro‘m the si:‘m';‘ b:rrcl m&ny not completely agree e type and num- zdo{ scratches left by the bore. God- pointed out that an accumula- tion of rust in the barrel after one bul- let had been fired would produce tiny scratches not noticeable on the first bullet fired. Other factors may enter into the matter so as to make “slight variations.” it possible, however,” Collins , “to determine from which gun & bullet has been fired?” “Usually it is possible to do s0,” God- dard asserted. Questioned at Length. Capt. ‘Kelly wasflg:sflnned ‘lt length arding the sof pair of pigskin :r;s" found in a catch basin on the Arlington Experimental Farm near the culvert in which Miss Baker’s body was found on April 12, last. Keily said Campbell at one time, before he had Been shown the gloves, described a pair of pigskin gloves which he had owned, and told of grease and other marks on the fingers and thumb which would be found on the recovered evidence, Camp- bell declared, in case they were his gloves. ‘The detective showed the jury the grease and other ma:ks on the recov- ered gloves and explained that Camp- bell, on examining the gloves, identified them as his. Kelly said Campbell even tried the gloves on and that they “fitted very well.” Later, however, Campbell repudiated his ownership of the gloves and when questioned concerning the ones he did own described them minutely and told of having purchased them at a store in the downtown section of this city. Kelly said an investigation at the store disclosed that gloves of the make described were not sold there. Put Marks on Bullets. Hardy disclosed for the first time today that he had placed secret scratches on the face of the fatal bullets so that he might identify them later, and he found these marks on the bul- lets which have been introduced as evidence. He said he made one scratch on the butt of a bullet removed from the murdered giM's arm after it had passed through her neck and that marked the other bullet, removed from her back, with three similar scratches. He sald he had retained custody of these bullets almost continuously ever since, except for the periods that they were in the custody of ballistics ex- perts for examination. One of the prominent spectators at the trial yesterday and today was Rep- resentative Wright Patman of Texas, a member of the House District Com- mittee, who explained that he used to be a district attorney and consequently has a natural interest in such trials as this one. Rev. Thomas P. Baker, father of the dead girl, reappeared in the court room today and listened with attention to every phase of the proceedings. He sat directly back of the bench containing Loudoun Campbell, father of the prison- er, and several other friends and rela- tives of the accused. Capt. Kelly Testifies. Capt. Kelly began his test:mony by ffim.ns of conversations he had with the defendant. He said he first dis- cussed the case with Campbell at the al estate man's office about April 21. Present at the confer- ence in addition to Kelly and Campbell were Sheriff Howard B. FPields of Arlington County; Sergt. John Flaherty and Lieut. John Fowler of the Wash- ington Police Department, and Sam Hardy, a Department of Justice agént. The witness testified Sheriff Fields asked Campbell when he had las. seen Barrere, Kelly said Campbell replied he had not seen the painter for some time; but believed he was living in ui tent somewhere nearby. The witness quoted Campbell as having said Ba rere was quick-tempered and had a! mean disposition. He promised to com- municate with the authorities should ! he obtain any information as to Bar-!| Teres whereabouts. Kelly sald his next interview wi Campbell was held May 11. He said Campbell was irked because he drove up in front of his real estate office while several relatives of Barrere were within. He testified Campbell walked out to his, automobile and said he was seeking to| draw from Barrere's relatives informa- | tion concerning where he could be lo- cated. Kelly said Campbell told him he had informed Barrere's rclatives he would help the painter establish an alibl. The witness said Campbell ex- he had made such a promise | order to further his chances of learning where Barrere was. Fake Argument. “Campbell was afraid Barrere's rela- tives would think he was failing to keep faith with them unless he should do something to explain why he should recelving a call from me. I told him fake an argument. o I asked a loud volce why he had made statements to the newspapers and he | Kelly said Campbell in Virginia | g they were covered with grease and oil and were “skinned” about the thumbs and forefingers. The witness said he then told Campbell he had in his pos- session a pair of gloves which had been taken from a catch basin on the Agri- culture Experimental Farm, near where Miss Baker’s body was found, and asked Campbell to visit police headquarters to identify them. He said Campbell came to headquartcrs that night. “Did they fit on Campbell’s hands?” Collins inquired. “Pretty well, yes, sir,” Kelly answered. Tells About Gun. ‘The witness said he next saw Camp- bell, June 9, at the Department of Justice. He reported Campbell said at that time that Barrere had no oppor- tunity to steal his pistol April 10, while he was examining Campbell’s, home to make plans to paint it. Kelly said Campbell explained Barrere might have entered the house through a side win- dow and removed the revolver from its hiding place in a_dresser. “Campbell said Barrere came to his house at 4:45 or 5 o'clock April 11, and signed a painting contract. He repeated he believed Barrere was the man who killed Mary Paker.” Kelly then quoted Campbell as having repeated at that time a story about a man with a wart on his nose visiting his home while the search for Barrere was in progress and asking him whether he had a pistol. Kelly declared Campbell said he went home to get the revolver in order that the mysterious stranger :’]?‘ht examine it, but the pistol was not ere. “Campbell said,” Kelly related, “when he returned to his office the man was gone. He said he then became sus- picious and began searching for the pistol in his office. He told us he found it in a drawer of an unused desk.” The witness said Campbell declared when asked' how Barrere could have used the pistol and managed to get in his office to return it that Barrere might have reached in the window and put it in the desk on any of several occasions which he visited the miniature golf course near Campbell's office. Hadn't Loaned Gun. “When asked if this story was not very faatastic,” Kelly testified, “Camp- bell said: ‘If you told me that same story, any of you gentlemen, I wouldn't believe it myself, but it is the truth.’” Kelly then told of an interview with Campbell June 12 at which Will'am C, Gloth, commonwealth’s attorney of Ar- liny County, informed the defendant ballistics experts had identified Camp- bell's weapon as having been used in the slaying. “Gloth asked him,” Kelly said, “if he had loaned th: gun to any one and he said he had not.” Kelly testified he asked Campbell, July 4, to tell of his movements April 11, He quoted the defendant as having de- clared he was in his office most of the afternoon from 1 until 4:30 o'clock, ex- cept for several trips to Washington on business. He said Campbell reported he left his office about 4:30 o'clock, and since he had no maid at home and his wife worked, prepared the evening meal, sald he stayed home until after dinner, leaving at about 7:30 o'clock to take his boy to a Scout meeting at Fourteenth street and Park road. The witness said Camp- | bell added he stopped in Washington long enough to buy a package of razor blades and then went to his office for a short | while before going home. It was on this ocasion, Kelly testified, that Campbell aske¢d him whether he believed the story about the man with the wart on his nose. The witness said he failed to answer the question. Had Service Over Seas. He said Campbell then shouted: *“‘If you don't believe my story, then, damn it, T'll never work with you or any other Washington detective on this =G It was on July 21, Kelly said, when he asked Campbell where he was born. “He said,” the witness testified, “he was born in Alexandria and had lived in Arlington County all his life since 1912, except for the time he spent on the Mexican border during the trouble down there and over seas during tne war. He said he was not wounded or sed, but saw service in France. “I asked him 2gain to tell me where | he was Abril 11. He said he remained | in his office all afternoon, without leav- ing, waiting on a young lady to call to see’ him on business. He said he went kome late in the afternoon and pre- pared dinaer, and that his wife arrived home at 6:20. He said, after eating din- ner, he left home to drive his boy to | a Scout meeting. He sald when he pass:d Fourteenth and U streets, he noticed a clock said 7:20. “He sald be returned to his real estate office and then went home. I told him: ‘Herbert, there is a slight dis- crepancy in your story. On July 4, you told me that April 11 you were in your office all afternoon except on several trips to Washington. Now you say you were in your offiée all the time that afternoon? He said that was the truth, “Be More Explicit.” “‘Herbert,’ I said, ‘we have checked on you pret'y closely and you are not telling the truth. Now sit back in your chair, light a cigarette and relax. I want you to take it easy now and remember just where you were and what you did that afternoon and tell me all about it. I want the truth.’ “He smoked a cigarette and then re- peated he had been telling the truth all the time, so I told him to tell me who the woman was that he was park:d with on the cemetery road, near the s where Miss Baker's body was found, the afternoon of April 11. He said: ‘Be more explicit.” “I told him, ‘I will be more explicit. T mean the same woman you drove to her apartment on Nineteenth street after parking with her on the Cemetery I mean the same woman you called over the telephone and told to be e .

The woman you told to tell any de- tectives who might question her that you were showing her real estate that afternoon.” “‘My God. man,’ he said, ‘why have I lied to you. I lied to you about all of that. I met her that afternoon at the Investment Building—no, it was at | Sixteenth and H streets. Then I drove | her over the Highway Bridge as far as | Ballston and then went back and | parked near the culvert. I took her home about 5 o'clock and then went to | my home.” i “Campbell then admitted the gun had | | been at his home all the time. He said | the reason he had lied about it was { that he thought Barrere would be | caught and he would get a lot of fame out of it.

I didn't kill Mary Baker. | My gun wasn't used in the killing. No | one in my family or any one I know had anything to do with it ” Thought He Was “Key Man.” Kelly sald he asked ‘Campbell what his object had been in putting the de- tectives to & great deal of unnecessary work and putting the county and Wash- | ington to the expense of checking all the information he had turned over to the authorities. “He said he was just a plain damn fool,” Kelly testified. “He sald several newspaper men had come over to his golf course every night and played, and [told him he was the key man in the situation. He sald: ‘And so, since I wanted fame, I told you all those lies. When I sat around with you, Inspector Shelby and Mr. Gloth and talked about this case my heart beat fast, and I thought here I was working on this case with all the big Washington de- tectives.” Kelly said he asked Campbell repeat- edly if he knew Mary Baker or had ever had any real estate dealings with her. The witness said the defendant answered in the negative each time. “After the gun was returned by Col. Goddard,” Kelly testified, “Campbeli said, ‘I don’t see how this gun could be the gun that killed the girl because it's been in my house all the time. Still, you have enough to try me, convict me and hapg me.’” Cross-examination of Kelly by Luclen | vandoren of defense counsel was brief. |He asked little except whether the gloves had been traced, and by whom. | Kelly explained he had checked Camp- | bell's statement that the gloves stolen | from him had been purchased from a | store on Fourteenth street and were of | a different make from those with Miss | Baker's clothes. | Most Important Answer. Perhaps the most important answer made by Col. Goddard during the few minutes he was on the witness stand | before the luncheon recess was when he | was asked what he had found in his | examination of Campbell’s pistol and | the death bullets, | He replied: | “I came to the conclusion that the bullets had been fired from the pistol I | examined.” The witness explained & bullet is| marked when fired from a pistol He declared the marks are left by grooves within the pistol barrel. He said the scratches embedded in the slugs by each groove were different. “There are ridges,” he said, “within the grooves, which constitute a char- acteristic mark easily detected on the bullets fired from any given pistol. To pos | determine marks left by a particular gun of a particulsr make you have to examine the finer markings.” ‘The witness then stepped down in front of the jury and explained in de- tall the technical aspects of & revolver, & section of which had been cut away, exposing the type of material used in the manufacture of such wea and the iniricate mschanism, He jdentiged each part by name, pointing out the functions of each unit. Traces Gun's Evolution. Col. Goddard displayed to the jurors ; a set of barrels which demonstrated the evolution of the barrel from a piece of ordinary steel to the finished gun barrel. He exhibited one length of | metal which had not had a barrel drilled in it. “As the bullet leaves the barrel from different angles the location of’ mark: left by the grooves often is different but the marks are the same, in so far as gach weapon is concerned,” the witness declared. Geddard said the barrel is the first stage in the manufacture of a pistol. He sald ‘as the barrels are drilled by machinery the metal is shaved away in very small quantities. He said the teeth | of the machine used in this work change microscopically as they are worn away, causing each barrel to have distinctive marks. Several questions were asked of the witness by the jurors as he displayed the various exhibits. Most of his ex- planations were inaudible as far away as the press tables because attorneys for both sides were crowded abcut him. Justice Adkins sent for the exhibits after the jury had inspected them and spent 10 or 15 minutes looking at them. Sheriff Testifies. A veteran Virginia sheriff _testified yesterday afternoon that Campbell talked of the killing of Mary Baker until the storles resulted in a charge of murder against the man. The wit- ness was Sheriff Howard E. Fields of Arlington County, a peace officer since 1897. He was followed on the stand by William C. Gloth, Commonwealth attorney for Arlington County. The court room was very quiet as Gloth quoted Campbell as saying after a grueling examination in July: “You have enough on me to arrest me, indict me, try me, convict me and execute me. Why should I tell you any more?” Both witnesses, however, said Camp- bell went no further than admitting that a long series of stories he told them was untrue and that he denied that he killed the girl or knew who did. The sherif’s story, told in a matter- of-fact voice, was a recital of the bizarre tales told by Campbell about the Baker case until Fields said “it looked suspi- clous.” The young Government worker had been dead only a short time, Fields said, when Campbell came to him and said a pair of pigskin gloves found with other clothing belonging to Miss Baker were his. The clothing lay only a short dis- tance from where the body was dis- covered in a culvert on the morning of April 12. Campbell said he suspected Herman Barrere, itinerant painter, of stealing the gloves. “He kept coming back to me,” Fields said, “and telling me that he thought Barrere was the guilty man.” Barrere was arrested in Montreal. He proved to the satisfaction of authorities that he had nothing to do with the crime and attention turned to Campbell. The latter’s actions, even before Bar- rare’s arrest, had placed him high on the list of suspects, Fields said, and this coincided with Gloth's testimony. The sheriff sald he thought it very strange when Campbell came into his office one day carrying a package. In the bundle was & gun, Campbell’s gun, and the of- ficer testified the real estate dealer said g:kbelleved the weapon had killed Miss er. Wanted Gun Examined. “He sald he wanted it examined by experts,” the sheriff said, “and went on that he believed Herman Barrere stole the gun, shot Miss Baker with it and sent it back by & ‘man with & wart on nose. Campbell leaned forward in his chair as Plelds went into detall about the tory the real estate dealer told of the mysterious with the wart on l his nose. The sheriff contended Camp-~ bell said he discovered that a .32-caliber pistol was missing, but that he found 1t after the stranger paid him a visit one day and talked about Herman Barrere. Collins placed the revolver in the sheriff’s hand. He examined it, looking down the barrel, and said, “When I got it it had three old cartridges in it and three new ones.” Miss Baker was shot three times and three ballistic experts are walting to testify for the Government that Camp- bell's’ revolver was the weapon which shot her. Gloth told of the admission by Campbell that stories about his move- ments on the afternoon of the murder were not correct in detail and that all the long theories of statements he had made tending to cast suspicion on Bar- rere were false. On cross-examination, Gloth said after this admission Campbell stead- fastly insisted he was not connected with the murder and also asserted that the -pigskin gloves found with Miss Baker's clothing were not his. “When I told that the gun had been tested and had been found to be the one which shot Miss Baker,” Gloth said, “Campbell replied, ‘I expected that, but I'm glad I have an alibi’” Two other Government witnesses, Benjamin Craddock and James A. Le Master, told yesterday afternoon of having secn a car resembling Mary Baker's parked near Arlington Ceme- tery, in the location it was found after discovery of her body. Craddock saw the car as early as 6:48 o'clock the eve- ning of April 11. Le Master also said he saw a man hurrying through the cemetery with a bundle under his arm and the other arm shielding his face. G. U. HEADS HONORED BY CROWN OF ITALY Rank of Distinction Conferred Upon President Nevils and Dr. James Brown Scott. Dr. W. Coleman Nevils, S. J.,, presi- dent of Georgetown University, and Dr. James Brown Scott, chairman of the Graduate Committee of its School of Foreign Service, have had conferred upon them the rank of commander of the crown of Italy for services ren- dered in promotion of international re- lations. King Victor Emmanuel sent them the insignia of the decoration through Ambassador de Martino. As former regent of the Foreign Serv- ice School and later as president of the university Dr Nevils has devoted much of his time to forwarding education as a means of establishing better under- standings between nations. More re- cently he was active in celebrating re- sumption of relations between the Vatican and Italy and took a leading part in arranging for the bi-millenial celebration of Vergil, the Italian poet. Dr. Scott is one of the leading author- ities on international law in the world, a subject on which he lectures at the Georgetown school. He has had much to do recently with international re- lations between the Vatican State and Italy. He also has the unique dis- tinction of being honorary president of NGTON, D.

PERSHING ISSUES PREPAREDNESS CRY General Says America Must Be Ready if Hostile Na- tion Starts War, By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 24.—A warning to the United States that it will be caught unprepared in event of another war is sounded by Gen. John J. Pershing in an interview published in the Country Home. “People say we should disarm,” the leader of the American armies in the World War is quoted as saying. “America already is disarmed. Good | men and gocd women tell us that we should throw away our armaments. We have very little to throw away." Declaring no one hates war more than he does, he says: “I pray fervently that there will be no more war. With all my soul I hate it. I have seen it in all its horrors. The Great War was called a war to end war. Yet, in these dozen years, think how many disastrous wars have been fought and how many others seem to be in the process of making. “We_know that we will not provoke war. But what is there in history which authorizes us to conclude that some one else will not provoke one some of these days? 1t is not a question of whether or not we believe in war. It is a ques- tion whether we shall defend this won- derful country of ours if some other nation which does believe in war should attack us.” REPEAL OF DRY LAWS URGED ON CRUSADERS Ex-Mayor of New York Addresses Local Opponents of Eighteenth Amendment. Lieut. Col. George M. Mc@lelland, | former member of and ex- | mayor of New York City, addressing the | membership of the Crusaders last night, | described prohibition as “the most vital | issue” which ever faced this Nation and urged the Crusaders to their fight for 'ihe repeal of the eighteenth amend- | ment. “I believe that the restoration of the liberty of the American by the repeal of the eighteenth amendment is the most important question of the day,” Col. McClelland said. Plans for co-operating with the Cru- saders in prohibition questions are be- ing discussed by the local unit of the ‘Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform at a meeting today at the home of Mrs. William B.
