Stein of Montclalr, an cxpert on questioned documents, was @ first witness called by the de- fense. Justice Parker ruled that he could not testify in rebuttal of the state’s testimony that the enlarge- mens of photographs of Willie Ste- vens’ fingerprint and on a disputed print said to have been found on a calling card near the bodies con- tained distortion.

Detense Argument. | “I think your honors are quite| mistaken,” said Robert H. McCarter | of defense counsel in discussion of | the motion of the special prosecutor to exclude this testimony. He for the first time referred to him as “Simp- | I' 'or “Sena- | { son” instead of ‘“‘counsel’ Itor Simpson.” { “Does the court make a distine- | tion between the right of the state | to receive favors and the right of| the defense to have favors Ahown; it?" asked McCarterd | | Justice Parker's gavel gave its| 'most resounding thud of the trial. | { “I hope not,” replied the judge,; “and the court refuses to hear you; {further on that subject.” | | “We then ask the privilege of re- ! opening the defense case just as the |state was allowed to reopen its case |for a moment yesterday to permit |the introduction of testimony of a | Newark detective,” continued Mc- Ca . The motion was overruled. Diary Is Exhibited ! stein was shown the diary of | Henry Stevens, and referred to the entry under September 14, 1922. He disputed the testimony of state handwriting experts by saving that | in his opinion the third line of the entry was written after the fourth | line, The diary entry has become ! important in the alibl of Henry Stevens, as the September 14 entry containg an item concernlng the | ching of a bluefish on the night | |of the murder. On cross-examinatian Stein | sald he believed three pencils were used in writing the four lines of the fourth separate items under Septem- | ber 14, but that the Mst time might | have been written with the same pencil as the first two lines, but | | with a different “‘face” of the pen- | ¢ | “Aided by McCarter's grin, can ou tell us whether you can find any other entry the same as this,” asked Simpson. My what?” asked | McCarter, rising quickly from his chair. Thought It Was Grin “Your facial expression,” said |Simpson, then adding in an under- | tone, “I thought it was a grin.” | When the witness answered the question, he said he had found no wo entries in the diary that were like. Striking at the testimony of state experts that diary entries on the | day of the Killings had been written | | with more care than any other in the book, the defense expert de- clared he could see no difference in any of the entries in that respect. Herbert J. Taylor, navy finger- print expert, who had testified for | |the defense that the print on the | calling card was not that of Willie | Stevens’ finger, was the next wit- ness. The defense was the winner of a long argument on whether Taylor might testify on superimposition. MeCarter said that his testimony | was in rebuttal of state contentiona | that the only discrepancies between | it | Willie's fingerprint and that on the | ports, is traveling in a jcalling card were caused by the dis- | puted print having another under it. | Taylor testified that traces Of‘ | superimposition could be found on | about half the print but not in these | portions of the disputed print in| |which the defense had pointed out | | discrepanci tween the authentic | | print of Willie's finger and the print | Wilbur Roge Brooklyn news- paperman, testified that he was a passenger in the elevator in which Mrs. Demarest and Di Martini were passengers.
