DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOEER 24, 1969 Meed's ID Site ueries the By DOMINICK UNSINO and JOSEPH McNAMARA Defense counsel for Long Island hood Julius (Julie) Klein drew from a police toxicologist yesterday an admission that it would be reasonable to expect a profusion of blood from the knife-slaying of Irene Brandt rather than a patch 8 inches square that a detective had testified to finding at the alleged death scene.

Bernard Newman, director of the Suffolk County police laboratories: "If I cut your throat, would the blood spatter on me?" "It's reasonable," replied Newman. The line of questioning1 indicated that the defense would seek to prove that Irene, blonde go-go dancer and girl friend of Klein, was not murdered at a Blue J'oint, 11., laundry sump as charged by state witnesses. It will apparently be defense strategy to argue that the girl was slain elsewhere and not by Klein, that her body was brought in a car trunk to the sump, from which it was recovered Sept.

Under this condition, he said, the blood "does not necessarily spurt out." Ashmore testified that an autopsy he performed on the girl showed she had cuts on the right side of the head, cuts on the middle forehead, a large gaping wound of the larynx, with partially severed jugular vein, and completely severed carotid artery and two stab wounds of the right neck. As the State Sees It The state contends that Klein killed Irene to silence her about his part in the theft of $31,000 which she took from her teller's cage in a North Merrick bank. 'frame (indicating the manufac The notice to the optometrists said police believe the glasses belonged to the murderer and they are of the opinion that the killer has replaced them or will attempt to do so in the near future.

The bodies of Miss Tate, coffee heiress Abigail Folger, hairstylist Jay Sebring, Polish writer Voi-tyck Frokowsky and 18-year-old Steven Parent were found at the Benedict Canyon estate rented by Miss Tate and her husband, film maker Roman Polanski. Polanski was in Europe at the time. Los Angeles, Oct. 23 (UPD Police investigating the murders of actress Sharon Tate and four others disclosed today that a pair of eyeglasses left behind by the killer was found at her home. The glasses indicated the wearer was extremely near-sighted.

The glasses figured as a major clue in an almost clueless investigation since the Aug. 9 murders. Notices were sent to members of the American Optometric Association, the California Optometric Association, and the Los Angeles turer, American Optical of Southridge, 46-21 5V2. (A spokesman for the manufacturer, a firm with international business, said the glasses would not mean much to the investigation. "There must be 10,000 people who wear that prescription," he said.) A prosecution witness, William Reuthor.

La Yesterday, Bobick questioned Newman at length about the blood sample found at the sump. Sgt. Robert J.

It was pouring rain at the time. He said he dug down eight inches with his hands and took a sample, which Newman examined at the lab. throat from ear to ear with a long knife as they stood alongside the sump. Reuther liad testified he was not splattered with blood. Bobick's obtaining of this testimony from Newman was count-end later in the day by a prosecution witness, Dr.

Nevertheless, it is recognized here by those in the know that when Agnew goes for the jugular in. his honest, firm, uninhibited way, he is out to knife Democrats, not Republicans. This needs to be pointed out for there is definitely a "mystique" about Agnew. Because of this unusual mysticism surrounding his personality a lot of naive people haven't known whether to laugh at him, take him seriously, or dismiss his forensic punches as just partisan oratory basically designed to get more money at GOP fund-raising dinners.

It is actually an insult both to President Nixon and the vice president for an intelligent citizen or politician to take what Agnew says lightly or suggest that it is pure political hokum. He's a Serious Man Agnew always has be taken seriously, ne takes himself most seriously. It was definitely this quality of taking life seriously and earnestly that appealed most to Nixon when he decided hn wanted Agnew as his running mate in 1908. At the Miami Beach nominating convention in August 1968, Nixon considered more than a dozen possible running mates. For one reason or another he ruled out Mayor Lindsay, Gov.

Rockefeller and Gov. Reagan, to name just three. Nixon settled finally on Agnew. then governor of Maryland. Why? Nixon's explanation at convention time in 1908 helps put the Agnew of today in better perspective.

Agnew, said Nixon then, was a man with "mystique," good on "dialogue" and cool under pressure. "There can be a mystique about a man," explained Nixon. "You can look him in the eye and you know he's got it. This guy has got it." Nixon went on to predict that as By TED LEWIS Washington. Oct.

23 The vice -presidency does something to a man. Sometimes it takes four years to figure out just what character changes were wrought, but in Spiro Agnew's case it has taken only nine months of on-the-job training to show how much he has been able to make of what he is dointr. There is no question any longer thaf be is going to say what he thinks about political critics of Nixon administration OAtPETFOfl-A policies. He has put the lalx-1 "character assassins" on the Senate opponents of Judge Haynsworth. He has tagged as "effete, impudent snobs" the pseudo-intellectuals who encouraged the youth exercises on Moratorium Day.

And to show that, when deeply aroused, he is ready even to name names if necessary, he has singled out. in bis latest attack on the enemy outside the administration gates. Sen. Edmund S. Muskie (D-Maine).

To Agnew's way of thinking, Muskie is irresponsible, confused and illogical, otherwise he wouldn't "play Russian roulette with LT.S. security." What Triggered Blast? What made Agnew pick on MiisUe was the senator's somewhat restrained proposal in a New York speech that there be a six-month halt in tests of our Multiple Warhead Missiles (Mirv). Quite a few Republican senators hare urged the same delay, Brjruing. like Muskie, that it might induce the Russians to by what they said and the convincing way they said it. The brand of "effete, impudent snobs" will last a lifetime, perhaps.

It packs far more of a wallop than egghead, big brain, intellectual or highbrow. There was a delicious Agnew touch in slurring Muskie as playing "Russian roulette with U.S. security." Muskie is famous in the Senate and out of it for his caution on issues. He has never, even when Humphrey's running mate in 1968, displayed the "profile of courage" that thrusts men, on an issue of principle, way out on a limb to play Russian roulette with their own career. Agnew wasn't quite so imaginative in choosing "character assassins" to identify, without naming them, the senators opposed to having Judge Haynsworth on the Supreme Court.

This is a phrase out of the old politics period. Harry Truman in 1950 denounced "scandalmongers and character assassins," and a few years later Ike hit out at nameless people who "assassinate you or your character from behind." Malting Most of Job But all and all, Agnew has dripped fiery political aspersions that reveal the dimensions of the "mystique" that so impressed Nixon. So, in a way, he has elevated the vice presidency, simply by being the incumbent. What vice president in memory before him ever tried to make so much of the job? Lyndon Johnson found the vice presidency frustrating. Humphrey, under LBJ, simply -mimicked what Johnson said, knowing it was very dangerous to do otherwise.

He wasn't too frustrated because he liked to speak at length regardless of whether he had little to say. Nixon, of course, was vice president for eight years. He, therefore, knew exactly what kind of vice president he wanted when he himself got to the mte House, and it is now evident that he has him, "mystique" and all- V'ice President Agnew A man with a mystique the presidential campaign unwound Agnew would "become better known" than he was at nominating time. He did become better known fairly quickly, beginning when he accused Hubert Humphrey, rival of Nixon for the White House, of being "soft on communism." He became even better known when he backtracked on that. Since he became vice president last January he has become still better known, and that is somewhat remarkable as most vice presidents find the limelight elusive and soon give up trying to snare a share of it.

Phrases Pack a Wallop Rut not Agnew. Tfe has even let the word get out that being a heartbeat away from the presidency itself doesn't awe him. He thinks he could handle well the biggest job of all should that be the way the pendulum of destiny swings. As a coiner of vitriol -dripping phrases, Agnew will be remembered for a long time anyway. Few vice presidents have been capable of creating such a stir'.
