Attorney Tells Story on Stand in Wife Murder Case
On Friday witness T Eugene Thompson testified in his own defense against a first degree murder charge. Prosecutor William Randall said Thompson engineered his wife Carol's slaying to rekindle a romance with Jackie Olesen and collect over 1 million dollars in life insurance. Olesen testified of multiple dates with Thompson and suggested marriage, while Thompson admitted telling his wife in 1962 he had been involved with others. He denied discussing marriage with Olesen and explained a 250 dollar payment to a go-between as a retainer return. The case also involves Dick W. C. Anderson and Norman Mastrian, charged with murder, with Anderson recounting the attack. Mrs Otto Swoboda, Thompson's mother-in-law, testified she knew of the insurance but was surprised by the amount.
