Holland is one of Harris' attorneys in this trial. Pearce read to Mrs. Kay what he said were questions and answers in the statement. They concerned Harris' allegations at that time about two squirrel hunters appearing at his tj-ailer and of his having been awake when they went to the trailer. In testimony yesterday Harris had said he may have been wrong in then telling authorities he had been up to go to the bathroom when Bell and James A.

Wdods were at the trailer to borrow a shotgun and go hunting. On cross-examination Holland asked Mrs. Kay how she had traveled from Fairfield to Albion to record the statement.

"Did you not hear him ask then if that was all, if they wanted him for anything else, or whether or not he was under arrest?" Holland inquired.

"Yes, I heard him ask those questions," Mrs. Kay answered. She said she did not recall having heard Harris say, "Well, I think I'll go see Rena now." "I don't believe he said that. I think he said he had other business and wanted to talk to you," Mrs. Kay replied.

In his testimony yesterday Harris said state witnesses lied when they told of hearing him threaten the lives of Mrs. Newton, Meritt and the State's attorney. He acknowledged, under cross examination, "very friendly" relations with Mrs. Newton dating from the time she and her husband managed the Mansion on the Hill. He said he had "been out with her" several times but not what he would call frequently.

As to the threats state witnesses said they had heard him he declared having not made them "or of havhig such ideas." Several of the persons who said they heard the threats are relatives of Some are relatives of the Meritt family and some are related to both. Again during the afternoon Harris declared no feeling of vengeance toward Mrs. Newton and Meritt At one time he said "Jerry was a good worker." He also categorically denied that he had "gotten rid' of a .25 automatic pistol after the deaths or that he driven past the John Felix farm. He explained that he had contracted with Felix to buy the Felix farm and had paid $3,000 tliat "has not been returned." Felix had told of the contract in his testimony when he told of having seen Harris pass his farm four times "before 7:15 a.m. that morning." The state elicited the information from Felix to allege Harris had made two round trips from his trailer to the Courtney Meritt house where the bodies were found.

Felix was questioned by Lewis on the arrangement to sell the farm to Harris in an effort to show bias on the part of Felix. Harris said he did not default on his payments to Felix until "either October or November'; of 1964 which would have been after the time of the deaths. It was in cross examination of Harris on this matter yesterday that attorneys first came- at odds and went one of their long huddles with the Judge. Won't Tell Where He Was "Where were you at this time Mr. Harris?" asked Pearce.

(Meaning at the time of the default in payment to Felix). "With all-due respect to the jury, the state and the court I respectfully decline to answer," answered Harris.

He later ruled that Harris must answer and the question was restated. Lewis objected again "on the same grounds of incrimination" but Harris said "I really don't remember where I was at tJiat time." This was in the same period in which he was a fugitive, being sought by the FBI for illegal flight to avoid prosecution. A statement that Harris had given authorities following the deaths but liefore his indictment also came under scrutiny on cross examination by Pearce.

He noted several differences in the statement and the story Harris testified to yesterday. In his earlier statement he had apparently smd Emily Hodges was at the trailer when he returned there from the Eagles Lodge. He said "I have since learned she wasn't." Pearce read from the statement to indicate he had said he gotten up to go to the bathroom when Woods and Bell arrived at the trailer to borrow a shotgun for squirrel hunting. "That printing is not true, I said I did not quite recall whether or not I had gotten up to go to the bathroom," Harris He said "I have learned some of the things I said then were not exactly right. I learned this through association with people in this case since I returned here." Carried Prosecntor 'B Picture The picture of Pearce that Harris had in his wallet also came up yesterday with Pearce asking Harris if it was not one that had been in the Wayne County Press in the March 15, 1965 issue.

Harris said he had clipped the picture along with others ot candidates during an election campaign. He said he had no ulterior motive, that it was Just something of interest to him in the campaign. That testimony came after attorneys had gone to chambers and searched law books on the question Pearce had posed on whether, or not Harris had ever been convicted of a felony.
