After Ihe waitress gave a few pertinent facts about herself the district attorney asked for a conference. Following this Mrs. O'Shae was excused. Two other waitresses on duly at the Eagles Club that night also were not permitted to testify. Attorney McGill Identified them as Mrs.

Irene Mathews ahd- Mrs. Peter Laskii. Also not permitted lo give testimony was Marion Wescpat of Pleasanlvllle, a schoolmale'of the dead man, who was in the -club the night the Deans were there. After he got in the witness box and following a conference side bar McGill went to him and said, "Sorry Mr. -Wescoat, you're excused." The defense attorneys indicated during recess they had in the courl room to.

testify persons wh6 observed Ronald and Mr. and Mrs. Dean in two other establishments that night. The commonwealth maintained thai the testimony of these persons was not relevant to the case since the defense contended the shooting was accidental. DR, GEORGE S.

Smith of Franklin, who made a medical examination on Lydia ui jail the evening of December 9 said his main finding was a bruised area, about three inches in diameter, on the left hip. He also found a slight swelling of the upper lip. To a question from Attorney McGill, the doctor said he observed no marks or bruises in the front part of the left or right shoulders. He described her condition at the lime of his examination as "very, very emotional and disturbed." He added that she was sobbing and was almost childlike in her actions. The doctor told about leaving sedatives for her.

THE REGULAR and two alternate jurors wllre locked up for the weekend in the Exchange Ho separated entirely from their fami- ies and the outside world since Monday morning when they reported for jury duty. In the defense has sought prove that the shot which killed 29-year-old T-Sgt. Ronald Dean while he was lying on the sofa of his parents home hi 'Plcasanlvitle was accidental. The defense contends that the defendant could not have aimed the rifle. If she had the caliber gun would have lefl telltale cruises caused -by- the recoil.

The couch', where Ronaid was lying was near the doprway that separated the living room and the kitchen. THE 101-POUND defendant took the stand in her own Thursday and Friday and told in sobbing and choked emotion the details, as she could remember leading up to the tragedy and after it to the time she was placed in the county jail. The falal shooting occurred six days after Ronald came home from 18 months in England, during which, time he found "another woman." Instead of being received warmly, as she had anxiously anticipated, she was pushed away. She was told of Ronald's interest in Brenda Savill Gray of Braintree and lhat this woman was expecting a child by him. From that day until his death, Ronald would have nothing to do with her and on occasions called her "bad names" and used physical force against her, pointed out Lydia.

SUNDAY NIGHT, Attorney Es- lanislao Fernandez, the Filipino criminologist and a defense attorney in the case, said he thought Mrs. Dean's testimony was "most truthful and effective." Fernandez said the defense intends to discuss the emotional distress weighing upon Lydia's mind at the time of the'shooting. He added that one of the poinls they will bring before Ihe jury is that "she loved Ron so much thai she thought it better that she The U. S.
