The state, in presenting this phase of its evi- | dence, had contended that the di ference was because one was made carefully, while the other one, that coming from the scene of the crime, | was made casually. ! “There Is no doubt,” salid Taylor, “these two fingerprints were not made by the same person.” Jury Interested While he was standing by the two large charts, pointer in hand, showing the differences which h found in the two prints, many of the | jurors steod so as to follow him more carefully. | difterences between the two prints.” Taylor continued when he had lald | aside-his pointer and returned to the witness stand.

Cites Other Differences In two other places the calling | card print showed a biturcation and {a dot, respectively, while the offi- | cial print had no such markings at corresponding places.

It was too expensive and | in the transparencies which the state | introduced through the testimony of | former Commissioner Faurot of New | York, he said the comparison was between part of one print with all of another. Alibl Scems Proved Fourteen witnesses from the small itown of Lavallette, including Henry Stevens, were on record today as | positive that he was not in New | Brunswick at the time he is charged with having participated in the murder. | After hearing for two days of the |little fishing town of Lavallette, with |its beaches and boats and bluefish, the court today fixed its attention lon the efforts of defense counsel to Iprove an alibl for Henry's brother, | Willle. The defense at the close of court vesterday was paving the way for |the introduction of its fingerprint experts for the purpose of combat- !ting the evidence of a calling card h which the state seeks to con- ince the jury that Willie was in the lane on the night of the slaying. [The state contends this card was |found at Dr. Hall's feet, and bears Willie’s finger-marks. Previously thirteen men had testi- {fied that Henry Stevens was at Lav- lallette on the night of the murder. The witnesses ranged from the may- |or of the small seashore town to girls who were college students at (the time, The fact that Lavallette is a small town and that Henry Stevens was well known to everyone, being a member of the borough council as |well ms a fisherman, enabled the de- |fense to. call witness after witness, !who testifled that they remembered |sceing him at, or near his home, on |the eventful night. | Mrs. Jane Gibson, state's star wit- Iness, testified that she saw Henry | Stevens and his brother and sister at the scene of the crime the night | |it was committed.
