COUNSEL CLASHES Agree On
WITH DETECTIVE
London, Mar. 26.
The Defence Counsel in the murder trial of Dr John Bodkin Adams today clashed with a Scotland Yard detective superintendent over 'ques- tions he had put to the family physician during a street meeting.
The detective, Herbert Han-| nam, headed investigations in the seaside town of Eastbourne which led to the arrest of Dr Adams on a charge of murder- ing a rich old widow, Mrs Edith: Morrell,
He had testiñed that he met Dr Adams by chance outside the doctor's house.
Mr Geoffrey Lawrence, de- fending, suggested that there were too many coincidences for it to be a chance meeting.
He challenged: "The truth of e matter is that you were waylaying him there, isn't it?"
