and the wound was of such a nature
that It is doubtful that he could have
lived from the time mentioned by Hnrris
until bcvcral hours later when he 'was
found by his hoiifcckccpcr unconscious-,
but still nllvc. Harris nlso fixed the
date of the murder as dune 12, whcreai
it occurred on the morning of .lunc 11.
On the other linnet, Harris goes into
n wealth of detail in regard to the in

Harris reiterated today the claim thnt
he has not seen his nlleg,ed pnl, Dunkln,

the pair to slay Klwell, since he re
