T ALLOWED IN TRIAL (Continued from First Page) sel, “Is there any man in the Graf-4 “ton Hills section who you know is & fugitive from justice at the present time?” Mr. Harvey was on his feet at once objecting, saying “If we are going to try all the criminals in Massachusetts, it will take some; time.” Defence Counsel Moynihan coun- tered with, “We'd like to have you | try the right one.” Judge Yeomans then asked the| purpose of the question. Moynihan said that the purpose was to show | that a man answering the general | description of Raymond and with a mole on his left cheek is now being sought by the police. Harold Lester, a previous state witness had tcsn-‘ fied to selling gas to a youth he | identified as Raymond but whom he | said had a mole on his left cheek. With the objection out of the way, Finneran was allowed to answer the question regarding the search for a youth of Raymond's built in Wor- | cester. He said such a search was on. Testifying regarding Gallagher's | visit to police headquarters on Apri. | 11, when he identified Raymond and | Lalone in the line-up, Finneran said | that Gallagher walked up to the | line, placed his hand on Raymond's | shoulder and on Lalone's and said, | “You've got both of them here.” Hurley On Stand State Police Commissioner Robert T. Hurley was on the stand Friday | afternoon when court was adjourned | until this morning. Hurley was one of a long line of witnesses called by the state to pin on the defendant responsibility for the death of Nel- | son. Are Damaging Witnesses Thus far in the trial Raymond and Lalone have been identified by | various state witnesses as the youths | who were riding in the green sedan | seen in several cities and towns in Massachusetts, but only one witness, Harold Lester, 16, of this city, has linked either of the pair with the shooting of Neison. Lester identi- fied Raymond as one of two men in an automobile{which stopped at his father's gas station herc. on the night of April 6. The second man he did not see, he testitied, but knows that there was at least one man in the car other than Raymond because he heard Raymond address a remark to the nd person and heard it answered. The car, he testified, was a sedan, the rear win- dow of which was broken. Other witnesses had previously testified that the window in the se dan which Nelson was chasing, was broken. Oihers Are Vague Of w dozen witnesses to the actual shooting of Nelson, not one could | say positively how many men were in the murder car or what their upboarance was. tration. When he was asked where he was on the night of April 6, the defense asked as to the purpose of the questioning. State's Atty. Bradford started to explain but the court advised him that the jury first should be exclud- ed. Testimony Is Excluded When the jury had left the court room the state's attorney said it was | his purpose to show where every car of that particular make with 401 as | the first three numbers was on the night of the murder. Judge Edward M. Yeomans said that it was both impractical and immaterial and ad- vised the state not to call any more of those witnesses. Court opened with Police Com- missioner Hurley on the stand. He had previously testified as to the distances from town to town be- tween Webster and Pomfret. Today the defense while questioning him regarding his distances also asked if he was not present when Russell G. Skinner, the Springfield fireman, identified Lalone at Springfield po- lice headquarters as the man who | had shot at Policeman Ray Gallag- her several hours before Nelson was slain, Hur! said he was present and heard the indentification. Earlier in the trial Skinner testified that he ! had dentified Raymond as the man who shot at Gallagher. There were | no further questions and Hurley left the stand. Daniel Miller of Webster and John G. Galvin of Dudley, testified to find- ing two caps twenty feet from the state road on a lawn in Dudley while raking leaves on the afternoon of April 11, Earlier in the trial Mrs. Bessie Anscher had testified to selling three | caps to three young men two of whom she identified as Lalone and Raymond, and Mrs. George Contois, had testified to finding one cap in a garage which she had rented to two young men whom she identified | as Raymond and Lalone. Both Miller and Galvin identified | the state’s exhibits of two caps as those which they had found. The first row behind a table was occupied by the mothers of the two defendants, and the widow, mother and two children of the dead police- man. One of the children born since his father's death gurgled peacefully at his bottle. Nelson's mother ap- peared to be greatly affected as test- imony was given and every time her | son’s name was mentioned she wiped her with a tiny, black-bordered handkerchief.

Her degeription of the car corresponded. with that given by Francis J. Higgins of the car taken from him and which Gallagher was attempting to pick up when he was fired on, prior to the shooting of Nelson. Several times during the trial Judge Yeomans has commented on various aspects on the state's case. Once he expressed surprise when ft was brought out that Lalone and | Raymond were not allowed to sce their attorneys until .after arraign- | ment in court and at another time | he advised Assistant State's Attor- ney Samuel B. Harvey that the state could not impeach its own witnesses. The latter occasion followed testi- mony of Rene Langevin that ¥ mond, whom, he knew, was wearing a dark suit which was not blue on the night of the murder. Other state witnesses had previously testified that Raymond wore a blue suit. | More Witnesses Called A long list of witnesses summoned over the week-end to bring out a certain point in the state's against the defendants was in the hands of the state's attorney.
