Herbert L. MacDonnell, director of the Laboratory of Forensic Sciences at Corning, N.Y., said photographs provided to the defense under court order contained processing spots that be as blood. Testifying as an expert in several areas of criminology, MacDonnell said he could not determine whether the spots were caused on purpose or by accident. Miss Little, a 21-year-old black, is on trial for second-degree murder in the death of the 62-year-old white jailer last August. His partially nude body was found in the cell she had occupied in the Beaufort County jail.

The state contends Miss Little killed Alligood during an escape. She claims she stabbed Alligood with an ice pick to halt a sexual attack. testimony about the photographs came with the 12-member jury out of the courtroom. Judge Hamilton Hobgood did not allow it to be repeated in the presence of the jury, but refused to have it stricken from the official record. MacDonnell also testified that bloodstains found on Alligoods shirt had been diluted with water, apparently by someone who applied the blood in a or motion.

Photographs of bloodstains on a bed sheet indicated that blood also was diluted, MacDonnell said. The defense is expected to contend that Alligood. who was stabbed 11 times with the ice pick, either attempted to wash off some of the blood or that someone else made such an effort. li rico, Texas Saturday.
