Verdict Risk in Campbell Murder Trial Shifts With Ballistics
In Washington the trial of Herbert M. Campbell for the murder of Navy clerk Mary Baker took on a classroom tone as Albert H. Hamilton testified that Campbell s 32 calibre revolver did not fire the bullets found in Miss Baker s body. Criminologist Calvin Goddard tests to trace bullets to barrels are ongoing with defense challenging his methods. Campbell denied suggesting that Arlington County commonwealth attorney William C Gloth substituted bullets, saying he did so under pressure from earlier testimony.
