Diary Of Heiress Reveals Trysts With Sweetheart SANTA ANA, Cal., July 10 — (U.R) — The diary of Heiress Beulah Louise Overell, lo, on trial with her sweetheart George (Bud) Gol lum for the time bomb murdei of her parents, revealed today that she alternately ‘‘trusted him completely” and thought he was ‘‘just playing around.” The latest installment of the girl’s diary, covering her first trysts with the 21-year-old pre medical student, was introduced at their trial today for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Overell aboard their yacht in Newport har bor last Marcn. It told of her first “necking party” with Gollum, her be-spec tacled co-defendant. “We got to grandmother’s be fore the rest and parked on the opposite side of the street. Again we listened to the radio and held h.ands. Somehow or other, right out in the public eye and in broad daylight, you kissed me. We sat there in spite of the parent’s re turn, for a half hour, necking. "What I Had Wanted’* "Then you left to go home for dinner. About an hour later you appeared to take me home. God, darling, it was what I had been hoping for ever since I met you.” Miss Overell chronicled lazy days aboard the yacht Mary E, scene of the double murder . . . "We talk for awhile of some oi your problems and then we start getting silly.” Her soliloquy warned that "1 am always going to be on my guard, darling, and watch everything you say or do carefully, so that you can not make a fool out of me.’ W.

For the first time since the trial oi me 18-year-ola heiress and her co-defendent began, George iBud) Collum appeared ill at ease as he listened to the tes timony of police experts. The first of a series o' crimin ologists to take the stand was Sgt. Russeil Camp of the Los Angeles police department, a specialist in explosives and electricity. Defendant Nervous As Sgt. Camp told how an alarm ciock was hooked up with detonators ana sticks of dyna mite, Gollum twisted uneasily in his chair behind the dexense coun sel table and rubbed his mouth with his large hands. After displaying the nervous gestures the 21-year-old pre-medi cal student gxanced arourid the sultry courtroom to see if his mo tions were observed. The witness told of his visit to the power cruiser Mary E. after it was lifted from the bottom of Newport harbor in March and of his examination of explosives found aboad the shattered craft. Sgt. Camp said he discovered the alarm clock aboard the yacht and said it had a piece of wire wrapped around the alarm-set post and looped over the hand on the face. “The hour hand on the clock was between 11 and 12 and the alarm-set hand also was between 11 and 12,” he said. The yacht blew up shortly be fore midnight March 15 and the state contends Miss Overell and Gollum set up the time bomb mechanism after slugging down her parents with a piece of pipe or hammer. The witness told of finding a stick of dynamite and peeling back its adhesive tape wrapping until he found a detonator attach ed an act he termed “dangerous.” Camp said the tape used was pink adhesive ana not rubberized electrical tape. The state had several expert witnesses on hand and their tes timony was expected to take sev eral days to complete. Dogs, like human beings, have two sets of teeth.___ ITS USEFUL!
