Norman student on stand in Marian Mills case
Hazel Brown 39, a fraternity house cook, testified as the state’s star witness in the Neal Myers murder case at Norman Oklahoma. The defense indicated it would place blame on Brown for Marian Mills’ death after Mills, a University of Oklahoma beauty queen, died July 10 at Brownie’s home in an alleged illegal operation. Brown said Myers brought Mills to the home July 8 for an attempted abortion while Myers fled the scene on instruction. The first witness, Mrs. M. Elbert Mills, said the family has no interest in prosecuting Myers and that Marian, athletic and strong, suffered mental strain and worry rather than a crime.
