Murder Trial (Continued from Page One) sess the incriminating letters. In an altercation, that night at Dwyer home, the doctors told Carroll, said Dwyer, that "knew all about you and Barbara," and would put the father "in prison." Says Carroll Killed Both Carroll, Dwyer testified, hit the doctor with eL hammer, then his pistol and finally strangled him with a belt. Dwyer then declared that after taking Mrs. Littlefield on a tour of New England with her husband's body in the car trunk, on pretext the doctor had fled a fatal molor accident, he returned to South Paris. There, he said, Carroll "struck Mrs.

Littlefield with his pistol, pushed her back into the car" and forced Dwyer at gunpoint to drive outside town, where he strangled her to death. From that point on. Dwyer said, his mind was "a blank" until he neared Boston on the trip ending with his arrest. Mexican Note (Continued From Page One) 388 was the value placed by the owners on the small farm land properties involved. Diplomats watched the farm lands controversy closely because of possibility a precedent might be set which later could be applied to the more important question of Mexico's seizure March 18 of British and American oil companies' properties: valued by them at $400,000,000.

Another American Nole Is Considered Likely WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (AP) -State department officials studied tonight Mexico's reply to Secretary Hull's note on expropriation of Americanowned agrarian properties, but withheld any comment. The department did not make public its copy of the text, explaining a more careful translation from the Spanish text telegraphed here was necessary. Because any precedent in the agrarian property case might be applicable to the controversy aver seizure this year of some $400,000,000 of American and British oil concerns, diplomatic circles consider it likely another American note would be forthcoming.
