Japan could then release great numbers of ships ani men to launch attacks on a large scale against the coast of the western hemisphere, including Alaska.”

Will Carry the Fight

Ixplaining that we are fighting around the world and may still have to yield some ground, the president said we could regain it by overwhelming the axis with a policy of “cérrying the war to the enemy in distant - waters—as far as possible from home.” And he called the

was Chief Rawlins who directed the major part of the investigation of the shooting. He identified the Colt automatics as having been confiscated by one of his officers, Patrolman Ray Branam, from Mrs. Payne's home after she had been taken into cus-

“The 33,” Mr. Rawlins testified, “had a full magazine of seven carte ridges. It had not been fired. The

380 had only two cartridges remaining in its magazine of sevencartridge capacity. It had an acrid odor of burned powder.” The state. contends that the missing five bullets from the 380 were those which Mrs. Payne fired into Mr. Mattingly’s back

Label .380 as Death Gun

Chief Rawlins testified that 8 comparison of bullets fired during ballistics of the the gun had fired the bullets causing Mr. Mattingly’s death. The prosecution openly labeled the .38 as the actual death weapon. Regarding the plaster cast, Robert McCrea, deputy prosecutor, asked the police chief whether it was not true that it matched perfectly with Mrs. Payne's shoe. Defense . counsel objdcted to a thypothetical comparison.” Special Judge Charles B. Staff upheld the objection but permitted the jury to examine shoe and cast to determine for itself whether they corresponded. Ballistics Expert Delayed

One of the state's canief ballistics experts, Robert Borkenstein, head of the Indiana State ‘Police laboratory at Indianapolis, was delayed in his arrival at the courthouse. He was expected to testify later today, linking the bullets taken from Mr. Mattingly’s body to the .380 gun taken from Mrs. Payne's home. Because of repair work being done over night on the courthouse heating system, that section of the radiator system in the eourtroom had been cut off completely. The trial chamber ‘was in ths uncomfortable 40's when tdoay’s session opened. Overcoats were in order from Judge Staff down. The state is asking life imprisonment for the Bloomington business-woman-politician, The defense is seeking acquittal on the grounds that Mrs. Payne was of unsound mind on the night of the shooting. A supplementary plea that the defendant was suffering “amnesia” at the time Mattingly was slain appeared -yesterday in the opening statement of one of her attorney, Mr. East,

The ‘appearance of these garments: provoked Mrs. Mattingly, the widow, into long and wracking sobs. Seated , at the prosecution table amidst a group of Mattingly’s relatives, Mrs. Mattingly had maintained her composure until Tackitt stepped forward with an unwiéldy bundle and spread it before Dr. DeMotte. As the shirt and pants came into ° breath-taking view, she dropped her head on her shoulder and sobbed openly. Mrs. Payne gave the exhibits a brief stare of imperturbability. Throughout most of yesterday's session Mrs. Payne sat rigid and apparently emotionless. Although the crowded courtroom was warm,

Jeweler Testifies

Dr. DeMotte was followed to the witness stand by Hershell W. Coo-

2d. and Walnut sts.; Joe Fagan, next door neighbor to:the Nickas family, and Gus Nickas, host to Mattingly on the night he was shot. Cooper testified that Caroline Payne had called his store “hunting” for Mattingly a few hours previous to the shooting. Mrs. Nickas explained for the jury the positions in which each member of the supper party was sitting when the bullets burst through the window killing Mattingly. Carr testified that he had transported a “tall woman dressed in black” from 411 Lincoln st. (home of Mrs. Payne) to a lunch room a few feet south of the Nickas home “about 9 o'clock” on the night of the shooting. He said that he picked her up near a gas station at 2d and Walnut sts. shortly after the shooting.

Called Cab, He Says

Koontz testified that Mrs. Payne came to his station to call a cab “around 9:30 o'clock” on the night of July 5 and a few minutes later I heard an ambulance going up the street. Mrs. Payne had already left before I learned that a shooting had taken place at the Nickas home.”
