that "an arbitrary or capricious refusal on his part to answer questions the answers to which would not in any way incriminate him would result in a contempt citation being applied He asked Judge

admitted as evidence The state disagreed Smith was slain in front of the Normandy Palms Apartments The gun was found in a garbage can near the back door of Coco's apartpvent Attorneys agreed that the gun could hot be used to link Coco directly with the crime because of a series of mistakes in its handlings The bullets removed from the bodv were not properly identified The gun was ruined for ballistics tests when a wrong size cartridge was fired in it Attorneys told the Supreme court that police officers handling the evidence made mistakes about what kind of 'gun was found in the garbage can and about the fingerprints I Two Negro car washers who identified Coco as eye witnesses made mistakes and changed their testimony the defense said Bart Cohen' assistant attorney genera who carried the burden of the case argued that the gun was properly in troduced to show that Coco had available to him the means to commit the crime a weapon that could have been used He conceded there was no positive proof that it was used Mark Hawes of Tampa attorney for Coco brought charts picturing revolvers and bullets into the courtroom to illustrate his claim that the gun was not proper evidence then conceded that Coco would have been entitled to a charge by the judge to the jury on the weight they should attach to the gun He pointed out -that attorneys at the trial did not ask thw judge for such a charge Justict Frank Hobson questioned Cohen closely on the manner in which the gun was introduced He said his interest was in whether the jury was unduly prejudiced Cohen: said the gun could also have -been introduced properly ta impeach testimony that he had not had such a gun Hawes disputed that pointing -out that the gun and fin geprints could have been in-troduced for that purpose
