The coat is the only evidence federal prosecutors have introduced so far in the six-day-old trial that could directly link Broadwater to the alleged conspiracy to redeem food stamps illegally through his Chapel Oaks Farmer's Market. Prosecutors brought Secret Service chemist Larry Stewart to court Thursday to testify that the sport jacket contained traces of a fluorescent ceeded during cross examination of prosecution witnesses in getting conflicting stories of what happened to the coat after Broadwater was arrested.

Department of Agriculture agent, said Broadwater wore his coat to a Secret Service office in the District of Columbia before it was taken from him. Broadwater and Dudley are charged with conspiring, along with three otner people, to buy food stamps powder, which had been used to mark food stamps sold to codefendant William Dudley by an undercover agent. Dudley was arrested outside Broadwater's office March 6, and the senator was arrested minutes later Inside his office in Prince George's County. Stewart said he found heavy concentrations of the powder on the vest pocket, Inside the left cuff and near the right shoulder seam. He said the powder in those spots could only have come from direct contact and not from powder floating in the air.

Kenneth Mundy, Broadwater's lawyer, suc Births at a discount and redeem them at full value through the senator's supermarket. The other defendants are Raymond Quigley Raymond Quigley Jr. and Broadwater's daughter, Jacqueline. Norman James, an undercover agent posing as an agriculture department employee, testified earlier that he delivered more than $70,000 worth of stamps to Dudley and the Quigteys. The final $25,000 in food stamps, delivered on March 6, was recovered when Dudley was arrested.
