WITNESS CREATES TRIAL SENSATION Testifies He Took Bullet From Brain of Mur- dered Man. BY the Assoclated Press. WETUMPKA, Ala, October 30 (#).—The trial of Frank E. Green of Montgomery, for the “hitch-hike” slaying of Wesley D. Amott, Govern- ment investigator, took a sensational turn last night when a State witness testified he removed a bullet from the base of Amott’s skull. Jim Gibson, defense counsel, vig- orously objected to testimony given by James T. Atkinson, laboratory as- sistant to State Toxicologist H. W. Nixon. “The defendant was charged with killing the deceased by a blow over thé head, the State contending the deceased was struck over the head with a blunt instrument,” Gibson ghouted. Solicitor Winston Huddleston, who | sprang the surprise at the end of two | days of testimony by State witnesses, pointed out that Green.was indicted in a bill stating he killed Amott by striking him over the head or “by other means to the grand jury un- known.” A night session of court and evening recess was ordered immediately after Atkinson left the stand. Atkinson testified he found a bullet firmly imbedded in the neck muscles at the base of the skull and behind the right ear. He said it was a copper | shelled, Jead-filled bullet and that he| k had turned it over to Nixon. Solicitor Huddleston had built up | to this point by tracing the handling | of a .38-caliber automatic pistol, which was taken from Green at the time he | was arrested in Uniontown, Ala., driv- | ing Amott's car. City police, State highway patrol- men and county officers were called to testify that the gun finally offered as an exhibit was the same pistol taken {rom Green. Amott, a former Latter Day Saints’ missionary, Whose home was in Salt Lake City, Utah, disappeared from Birmingham September 1 when he left for Montgomery to conduct a x‘uulinev resettlement investigation.
