At the Middlesex county murder trial, defense and state experts spar over a calling-card print. Taylor and Kuhne testified that the card print differs from Willie Stevens’s finger. The defense pressed for gaps in the state’s identification and witnesses were ordered from the room during cross examination.
The testimony centers on Willie Stevens in a murder case, detailing alibi questions about his age, eyewear, church ties, and a revolver. He recounts travel from New Brunswick to the Mills residence, a 2:30 a.m. church run with his sister, and further cross examination over last sightings, statements to investigators, and references to a Parker house and various witnesses.
Willie Stevens testifies he was not present at the Mills and Hall murders and knew nothing of them. Detective James Mason notes initials on a calling card found at Hall’s body and fingerprint experts dispute Stevens’s print. Cross examinations and roaming questions continue as key details of movements, church attendance, and alibis are probed with adjournment until tomorrow.
