Wood, 43, a water geologist who recently returned to this country after working five years for the Saudi Arabian agriculture and who said he speaks and understands five Arab dialects. Wood's story is that he overheard three men speaking in Arabic in a Kennedy campaign headquarters near the Ambassador hotel last Sunday night, and that he believes one of the three was Sirhan. Wood said he heard one of the three, in a Jordanian dialect, remark: "He won't be in the hotel tomorrow Monday night, i but we can get him there the next night." The three were again at the headquarters Monday night, Wood said.

The statements of the three men might have been interpreted out of context, and therefore be totally irrelevant to the murder." No members of the Kennedy family were summoned before the jury. The first witness, Paul Zif-fren, former California Democratic national committeeman, formally advised the jurors that the victim was the New York senator. Ziffren is a one-time law associate of Col.
