Louise Overell Calm
As She Tries to Refute
Prosecution’s Points
By th« A»«ciat»d Pros
SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 16.—
Louise Overell’s story of the death
of her parents began unfolding to
day to a Jury trying her and her
fiance, George (Bud) Gollum, 21,
on charges of murdering Mr. and
Mrs. Walter E. Overell.
The buxom. 18-year-old heiress
to her parents’ (500,000 estate
seemed as placid and calm as any
spectator in the courtroom as she
took the witness stand yesterday
afternoon and began testimony
which the defense hopes will re
fute some of the salient points of
prosecution witnesses.
Emphatically, she denied the testi
mony of her uncle, Emmanuel
Jungquist, that shortly after her
parents’ death March 15 she told
him she was taking immediate
charge of her father's Washington
Finance Co. and intended to Install
Gollum as president. Mr. Jungquist,
head of a Los Angeles steel com
pany, had been called as a prosecu
Wanted to Continue Buiineae.
“I explained to Uncle Manny that
I wanted to continue father’s busi
ness because I believed my parents
would wish me to do so,” she related
to the jury. “I told him Bud would
finish his schooling, that we planned
to be married on my 18th birthday
last April 30 and that eventually
Bud would be able to help me with
the business.”
She had an explanation for the
disarray which prosecution wit
nesses told of seeing in the big
Overell mansion in suburban Flint
ridge a few days after a dynamite
blast blew up the Overell yacht with
Louise's parents aboard.
She testified that she dumped
furniture from a bedroom into the
master bedroom, not because she
and Gollum were occupying the
same quarters, but because she was
making a place for his sister, Wila
fred Gollum, who had come to
Flintridge to live.
Tells ef Romance.
Throughout her testimony, the
young woman threaded statements
of how her mother suggested she
write to Gollum while he was serv
ing with the Navy in the Philip
pines; how her mother invited Gol
lum to dine at the Overell residence,
and how her mother and father ap
proved of Gollum as a suitor and as
a prospective husband.
Louise’s story of her romance pic
tured her meeting Gollum when she
was six years of age; beginning
active correspondence with him in
1945 and having two and three dates
a week after his discharge from the
service last year. She told of gay
parties at the Overell home, danc
ing and dining at exclusive yacht
clubs, theater dates and long days
together aboard her parents’ yacht
off the Southern California cdast.
