Eastman Murder Trial Sees Shift Toward Government
In Cambridge on April 30 the Eastman murder trial edged the government’s way with a favorable ruling and expert testimony suggesting the Grogan body bullet came from a center fire revolver, despite Eastman’s insistence the shot occurred with an old rim-fire in hand. Witnesses, including Grogan’s brother, described threats and ill will dating to 1899, while other testimony covered a July 4 encounter and a shop quarrel. A Harvard chemist presented bullet composition findings, noting tin in the fragment, though the judge’s ruling left the day’s evidence unresolved.
