Mother identifies Fyaad as slayer in US murder case
Mrs. Mary Nichola testifies her Syrian son in law Lot tle Nichola was killed at home on Eighth Ave N five years ago. She identifies a Mexican man named Joseph Juan Fyaad as the suspect, while defense denies he ever lived in Seattle. A Syrian peddler could only say the man resembled Fyaad and a coroner witness fails to establish the claim. Judge Ronald refuses shaving the suspect's mustache to aid identification and issues a bench warrant for the absent former coroner D F M Carroll.
