iSAYSTHOMPSON AMONOMANIC i'i Alleged Sex Slayer May Not Testify In His Own Behalf ’ Courtroom, Peoriu. 111.. July 23. 1 —(U.R) — Gerald Thompson, curlyhaired “grandma’s boy" who has 1 admitted attacks on 83 women, probably will not testify in his own ■ defense, it was indicated today during questioning of prospective I jurors for his trial on charges of murdering pretty Mildred Hallmark, 19-year-old case hostess. Ben Thurman, state-appointed : defense counsel, stressed in his examination of talesmen the point that a defendant's failure to go to . the witness stand may not be con-' ( strued against him. Thurman indicated today he would attempt to prove the youth is a monomaniac. The thin, scholarly defense attorney indicated he would show that Thompson was given to crimes of assault by an untrammeled sex urge. He argued motions for a delay of the trial on grounds that Thompson’s mother, Mrs. Florence Whiteside, in a local hospital with a “nervous breakdown," will be unable to .testify for a month. Her testimony. Thurman said, would be a morbid recital of Thompson's family history, in ’•which at least three members would be proved insane on sex matters, though normal in other respects. Thompson has confessed to police that he attacked Miss Hallmark. pretty night club hostess, in a lonely cemetery after he had struck her because she bit his hand. He left her to die in a : ravine. Thurman was denied a venire impounding of the youth’s confession, and turning over to the de- ! sense of his lurid diary, in which he recorded accounts of his many conquests and kept photographs of himself posed in the nude. The mother of the sex-mad young man would testify, Thurman said, that she married when she was 14 years old and that Gerald was born when she was barely 16. Her husband, who disappeared asI ter the birth of Victor, now in jail for taking liberties with an 8-year-old boy, was insane, Thurman said.
