Dr. Samuel R. Gerber, the cor- oner, said the imprint and the blood stain were on the under side of the pillow. He testified that after Marilyn’s body was removed “I turned over the pillow at the head of the bed and found a blood stain on the opposite side of the pillow, a large blood stain. On that side of the pillow was the imprint of an instrument, a surgical instru. ment.” The coroner testified at the mur- der ttial of Dr. Samuel H. Shep- pard. The osteopath, a neuro-sur- geon, is charged with bludgeoning to death his wife, Marilyn, in her bed July 4 in a quarrel over his love affairs with other women. Sheppard insists a bushy haired intruder killed his wife. The murder weapon never has been found. This was the first time that the state has given any indication that it has a theory about the missing murder weapon. The grey haired bespectacled little coroner held up the bloody pillow in court and showed a large blood spot divided by a blank white space. He said the area in between Phenix City Jury Hears Of View Racket By REX THOMAS PHENIX CITY, Ala. ®—A vice trial jury heard a first- -hand ac- racket which reportedly paid some girls as much as $900 a night dur- ne Oe Te: Ak M Peni ity. The testimony from two pros- titutes highlighted the long opening day of the trial for bribéry of for- mer Deputy Sheriff Albert Fuller. It was nearly midnight when court Tecessed until 10 a.m. today. Fuller, still crippled from a 14-|' week-old back injury and wheeled court on an ambulance cot, is under dndictment on 11 charges of taking payoff money during his swashbuckling days as a two-gun peace officer. He was called to trial first on one count alleging that he was pai: $625 to refrain from closing a dral bordello just outside Phenix City on busy U.S. Highway 80. The house, known to its patrons as Cliff's Fish Camp, was operated by Cliff Entrekin, who also was indicted by the vice cleanup Grand Jury for offering bribe mongy to Fuller. Payoffs Told One prostitute; who said she helped “keep books” at the Fish Camp, testified that she saw. En- trekin make payoffs to the officer “ten times at least.” On some occasions the money was delivered ‘to Fuller’s home, said the 31-year-old buxom bru- nette mother of eight children.

The witness told the jury the girls split their earnings with En- trekin 50-50, and then had to add half their share for “‘ "ye Another witness, who said she became a titute to raise money for a $2,200 operation on a blinded, ll-year-old adopted son, also de- scribed the “payoff” d i but was unable to say who got the money. ‘ She quoted Entrekin, however, as saying “the man” had to have a 30 per cent rakeoff of the total earnings of the bordello and that ~ girls would have to help pay Paid “The Man” Although she couldn’t identify “the man,” she said Entrekin used the same expression on a visit to Fuller's home when he remarked that an envelope he carried was being taken to “pacify the man.” The 22-year-old witness also told the jury her boss had promised the prostitutes they “would never be raided” and if they were ‘Fuller would get us off.” The second witness disclosed that her earnings ran as high as $600 a week but that some other girls drew $800 to $900 in one night. She said the girls were virtual prisoners from the 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. work shift and were forced to un- dergo sexual relations on wooden dining tables. And, the girl said, they opérated under such rigid house rules that they were fined $25 if they so much as closed their eyes while on‘ duty. Identity of witnesses was with: held at the state’s request. Man Is Held For Investigation In Church Theft Willie Robinson, 713 Whitmarsh Lane, is being held for investiga- tion after being picked up in the vicinity of the First Presbyterian Church after mid-night. This morning Reverend Richard- E. Coulter reported that the church had been broken into and $12 in bills and silver taken from the cash drawer in his desk in the church Office. Rev. Coulter said the thief had the two stains appeared to have been left by a surgical instrument | with two blades, with an indenta. | tion at the end of each blade | impression. { apparently tried to get away with {a 16 mm sound projector but left it just inside the jimmied rear oor.

He has been | served, and is drawn aboard by @ *| restless, hallow-eyed captain whom sleep has deserted, and who is standing On the lonely deck. © The man is a fugitive from a killing on another ship, similarly anchored out there, half hidden by the fog. He is pursued — thus is created the dramatic 7 tion in “The Secret Sharer.” This picture is adapted from a novelette by Joseph Conrad and forms one half of the dual - theme film brought to the screen under the ti- “tle “Face to Face” a Huntington Hartford production distributed, by RKO Radio. James Mason is starred in this half-a-feature thriller, the drama which centers around the strug- gle of the captain to prevent a man being sacrificed to what he believes to be an unjust and too-literal ap- plication of the law, with his ship’s crew.and the commander from the strange vessel an ever-threatening foe. The tension grows as the pre- sure increases, until it is resolved in a well-nigh insupportable climax. Gene Lockhart and Michael Pate jare featured in the all-male cast of “The Secret Sharer,” which was directed by John Brahm from a screen adaptation by Aeneas Mac- Kenzie. “The Bride Comes To Yellow - | Sky,” the second half of “Face to -| Face,” is based‘on a story by. the .|noted writer, Stephen Crane. This .| is a comedy, not without its threat- ening moments when the tamer processes of law-and-order reélen- lessly overwhelm the picturesque shooten-up rule of a colorful spr- vivor of pioneer days. Robert Pres- ton is starred in this border epi- sode,.which introduced Marjorie *| Steel as the bride and Minor Wat- *|son as the well loved “bad man.” ’| Bretaigne Windust directed from a script by James Agee. Coming as they do from stories by two of the world’s leading novel- ists, these two featurettes com- bine into an ideal: screen attrac- tion for those who are drawn to the better type of material in their screen entertainment. Lime Festival Benefiis From Heavy Rainfall The heavy rains of last week- end helped the lime trees in the Upper Keys — just in time for the Upper Keys Lime Festival, Dec. 2 to 5, it was réported fo- day. The Upper Keys Chamber of Commerce said that Capt. Eu- gne Lowe, weather observer at Tavernie, measured 6.02 inches of rain in a 17-hour period from Saturday to Sunday.” This, Lowe said, was a re- cord. The executive committee of the Upper Keys chamber an- nounced that the events for the four-day celebration have been arranged and a detailed Program will be released short- TODAY'S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK ™® — The stock market was quietly mixed today in early dealings. Although price changes spread over a range of between 1 and 2 points either way, most changes were quite small with a number of leaders holding unchanged. Here is way the principal sections of the market looked: Higher on’ balance—steels, utili- equipments. motors, motion pictures. pers, chemicals, oils, airlines.

Knowing that Dr. Chumley has been looking for him, they cross- examine Elwood on the doctor’s whereabouts. Elwood’s story of the past few hours is a real tribute to Jack Clarke’s acting ability and before he: finishes, you can almost believe that Harvey is all- that Elwood Play. Highlight Dr: Chumley arrives and his con- versation with Elwood about Har- vey’s uncanny power to make time stand still is one of the highlighis of the play. Myrtle Mae and Judge Gaffney come to Chumley’s Rest to talk to Dr. Chumley and are joined by and| Veda who insists that Elwood be given shock treatments to bring him back to reality so that she and Myrtle Mae can live a normal life. A mix up in cab fare and a chat with .E, J. Lofgren the taxi driver, played by Dick Splaine, lead to some sudden decisions about Har- vey’s future. ’ The play, under the deft direction of Emily Goddard, is one of the best the Players have presented to the Key West audiences, and un- covered some new talent for future plays — three of the leads, Mrs. Jefferes, Miss Anastasia and Com- mander Pierce make their debuts in this production. Good Cast The cast is well-chosen and han- @e their assignments with ease. Unfortunately, the. elaborate scene changes necessitated by the size of the Barn, take too long, but no one seemed to mind the de- lays and the cast was called back for several curtains calls at the end of the play. The technical staff is to be con- gratulated on their work, and with moré practice on the part of the high school drama class acting as stage crew, the delays between scenes be cut to a mini- mum. 4 Mary and Wes Olson as_— stage managers handled the sound ef- fects and lighting with the assisi- -ance of Drake Circle. ‘Set Design Frank Pennington designed the set and the portraits that play an important part in the action are the work of Burt Garnett. Helen Thielen and Isadore Bow- ser handled the stage properties and Sally and Glen West, the Betty Cissal was in charge of the wardrobe and when she wasn’t on stage, Gertrude Byrns acted as prompter.
