Bahamas, Oct. 29. By Implication, the defense suggested todav that sunburn may have ac counted for the singed and. curled haiis reported found on the body of Afred de Marigny after the slav ing of Sir Harry Oakes. De Marigny, on trial in the Ba hamas Supreme Court for the mur der of his riich father-in-law, rolled up a sleeve and rubbed the hairs on his arm as Chief Defense Counsel Godfrey S. Higgs suddenly took a new tack in his cross-examination of Capt. Janies O. Barker of the Miami police. Capt. Barker told of making a microscopic examination of the de fendant's arms, hands, face and head some 12 hours after Sir Harry's burned and beaten bodv was found last July 8 in a bedroom of his seaside villa, Westbourne. Makes Admission on. Sunburn. He previously expressed the opin ion that the attacker, who tried to start a fire in Oakes' bedroom in an apparent attempt to make the death seem accidental, probably W'ould have suffered burns. Mr. Higgs brought out today that many burned hairs were found on De Marigny’s face and head, as well as on his hands and arms, then unex pectedly asked: "Could sunburn cause this bril liance of the hairs?” "I don't, deny that.” the quiet spoken American replied, adding that he had been impressed by the absence of sunburn on De Marigny s skin. "Nobody told you he was a yachts man?” demanded Mr. Higgs with a significant manner. De Marigny s face wrinkled into a wide smile as he peeked through the bars of the prisoner's dock. Mr. Higgs had opened the morn ing court, session with detailed questions about the burns, Knlers Dock to Kxamine Prisoner. At one point, after Mr. Higgs had questioned whether De Marigny’s forearm; had been carefully ex amined, Capt. Barker took a mag nifying glass and entered the cage to look at the prisoner's arms.

Barker announced: "I find more than the usual amount of hair on his forearm and I there is hair on the inside, but I didn't find any burned hairs on the uiside of his forearms when 1 made the first examination.' Capt. Barker said he saw signs oi redness on the back of De Marigny s . hand during the examination before the arrest and another mark which he could not say was caused by fire. "Was the first mark made b> fire? ' Mr. Higgs asked. "I cannot say.” Capt. Barker re plied. adding "I am no doctor.’’ Judge Rebukes Witness. Capt. Barker attempted to tell the chief justice how the questions should be asked and drew a rebuke. "You answer whether the question is right or wrong.” the jurist ordered. Asked why he had not shown the burns to Ma j. Herbert Pemberton of the Nassau police. Capt. Barker re plied that he had pointed them out to Lt. Col R. A. Erskine-Lindop. then commissioner of polite. The cross-examination proceeded to another of the Crown's points against De Marigny—the contention that he could not produce the shirt lie told of wearing on the night of the slaying. The implication is that the attacker's clothing might show bloodspots or burns. May I suggest,” Mr. Higgs said, "that the accused told you he was unable to identify which shirt he wore that night because they were all alike." Asks About Memory. "That is not true,” retorted Capt. Barker. "He said it was funny that lie was unable to find the shirt he had worn.” Mr. Higgs read at length from the record of testimony at De Marigny's preliminary hearing in magistrate's court. "Do you want me to take all of that down?" Sir Oscar asked in an annoyed tone. He wrote as Mr. Higgs dictated, saving each word aloud as he dipped his pen and hurried along. Capt. Barker agreed that the tes timony was his. Mr. Higgs asked why Capt, Bark ers memory was good about some points, bad about others. Tries to Shake Testimony. The youthful attorney picked up today where he left off yesterday in trying to shake the testimony of Capi. Barker.

Barker told Mr. Higgs to day that he had burned hairs ' from diping my hand in gasoline and setting it on fire.” The attorney seized a magnifying glass and went to the witness stand to examine Capt.

He drew from the detective an admission he could not point to the exact spot from which it came. Next he turned his guns on Capt. Barker's qualifications as a finger print expert, bringing out that the Miami detective became superin tendent of the Miami Identification Bureau after five months as a clerk and asked if it, was customary to appoint a man with so 1 it tie experi ence as head of the department,. "No, sir.’’ said Capt. Barker. ' Do you consider yourself a fin gerprint expert?'’ Mr. Higgs shot back. ' 1 think I mi," the detective re plied firmly. Capt. Barker said lie was certain he had used filled fingerprints in courts where the death sentence mav oe imposed. Mr. Higgs wandered from one sub ject to another, obviously seeking an opening.
