To Defense Story in
Overell Murder Trial
• y Aisociat*d Prtss
SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 19.—
The Overell murder trial prosecu
tion today offered rebuttal against
all the key points made by the de
fense in behalf of heiress Louise
Overell and George (Bud) Gollum,
charged with murdering her par
ents.
The defense high lighted its case
yesterday by producing a surprise
witness who testified that a 50
pound box of dynamite was found
in the garage at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Walter E. Overell, the vic
tims whose bodies were found
aboard their yacht after the craft
was blown un last March 15.
R. H. Sandon, Santa Ana private
investigator, testified that 15 days
after the Overells were killed he
discovered 143 sticks of blasting
powder in a wooden box in one of
the garages of the palatial Overell
estate at suburban Flintridge. Pre
viously it was testified that such a
box normally contains 185 sticks
of "g-inch dynamite.
Nine Sticks Were Used.
Defense witnesses have estimated
that the two holes blown in the
bottom of the Overell yacht, the
May E, were caused by nine sticks
of 40 per cent dynamite. Thirty
three unexploded sticks of dyna
mite were found in the engine room
of the yacht.
Gollum has testified that he was
asked by Mr. Overell to buy some
dynamite for him and to keep the
purchase secret. The youth told the
jury earlier this week that he and
Louise then went to Chatsworth,
Calif., on March 14, the day before
the tragedy, purchased 50 pounds of
dynamite and delivered it to the
Overell home. Gollum said that
was the last he saw of the dynamite.
The defense rested its case with
the final testimony about the dyna
mite yesterday and Prosecutor Eu
gene Williams immediately put on
three rebuttal witnesses.
Housekeeper Testifies.
The Overell housekeeper, Mrs.
Mary Pritchett; Mrs. Claire van
Swoll, a neighbor, and Sheriff Capt.
Tom McGaff all testified that they
searched the premises, including
the garage, on March 28 and 29
without finding the dynamite box
that Mr. Sandon said he found In
the garage March 30.
Mr. Sandon testified that he went
to the Overell garage on instruc
tions of Louise’s lawyer, Otto Jacobs,
found the box of dynamite and took
it to the Mojave Desert, where he
buried it. Mr. Sandon produced
the box, including the sticks from
which the powder had been re
moved, in court. He said he dug it
up from its desert hiding spot last
Tuesday night.
Another rebuttal witness called
by the prosecution was Ray Pinker,
Los Angeles Police Department
chemist. He testified that Mr.
Overell was not standing up at the
time of the’explosion, as a micro
scopic examination of the financier’s
shoes disclosed that fragments of
metal from the explosion were
blown into the instep and heel of
his left shoe and that the other
shoe was similarly pelted.
Mr. Williams contends that Mr.
and Mrs. Overell were bludgeoned
before the explosion occurred.

ly ths Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Eugene
Dennis, general secretary of the
