(AP) -The defense rested its case in the Roger Caldwell murder trial Thursday, after a document examiner testified that an envelope addressed to Caldwell had very obvious signs of a forgery. The envelope, containing a rare gold coin missing from the bedroom of slain heiress Elisabeth Congdon, was intercepted by police at Caldwells hotel room in Golden, Colo. A handwriting expert testifying for the prosecution last week said that the envelope had been addressed by Caldwell to himself. Caldwell, 44, is charged with killing Miss Congdon, 83, and her night nurse, Velma Pietila, 67, last June 27 at the Congdon mansion in Duluth. Caldwells wife, Marjorie, is the adopted daughter of Miss Congdon, and the prosecution claims Caldwell killed wealthy mother-in-law to hasten the inheritance.

It is my opinion that this is a will case and noted that she had testified that the will was genuine, but a jury eventually disagreed. DeSanto noted that in two other cases her testimony differed from the eventual findings.

Im not infallible, she replied, noting that experts in her field often disagree on the authenticity of documents. Mrs Hooten said it was her wrestling coach, and for other coaching.
