Prosecution Presents Witnesses In Garrett Murder Trial
Special agent Buchanan opened the District Court murder trial of Stanley Neil Garrett by detailing hair samples and debris sent to FBI labs from Mrs. Maude Richardson's Ottawa home and Garrett. Lab findings show some similar hairs but none conclusively matched sources. Chemist Ann Reed reported blood on Richardson under the nails and Garrett’s blood both type O, with a basement flashlight and tape links under scrutiny. The testimony spans lab results, pathologist Dr. Bridges on wounds and cause of death, and police accounts of Garrett's whereabouts and alibis.
