Defense witness testifies Mrs Scott was always drunk

Los Angeles trial of L Ewing Scott for murder of his missing wife heard defense witness Maxwell Rozan of North Carolina say Evelyn Throsby Scott was intoxicated every time he saw her. Rozan recalled seeing her in Beverly Hills bars in 1953 and later at another bar, noting she appeared drunk on each occasion. The defense argues she may have entered a sanitarium after disappearing in May 1955. The state says Scott killed her to control a $600000 estate.
