Cheryl, doesn't remember stabbing Johnny Stompanato or giving police a statement about it. attorney William Pollack said today. The lawyer, who represents Stompanato's 10 - year -old .son, John 111, Hammond, Ind., in a $750,00 damage - action, questioned Cheryl about the April 4 slaying of her mother’s lover Monday at a deposition hearing in his office. After the session which left Cheryl in tears, Pollack said he had spotted "certain discrepancies" in Cheryl’s story, told before her mother and their attorney, Jerry Giesler. "Cheryl said she did not remember the stabbing," Pollack said. “She also does not remember giving any statement to Chief Anderson," (Clinton H. Anderson, chief of the Beverly Hills police.) "Cheryl said she remembers going into the room with the knife and moving toward Stompanato. but does not remember the knife going in or coming out of his body.” Details of the argument leading to the stabbing were recounted by Miss Turner at the cooper’s inquest in a tearful, halting scene which rivaled her most emotional performance on the screen. She retells the story Wednesday for Pollack afanother deposition hearing in Pollack's office. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Wa%t Ad— they bring results.
