Now l nder Wav
y
JUNEAU, Dec. 3 (VP) — Many
w men crowded the court room
as a jury of nine men and three
women were selected to hear the
“salad dressing” slaying case in
wh h Forrest Smith is accused
of killing Thomas Colling, Seat
lie sn:ps steward.
Deputy marshal Hellan, prin
cipal witness for the prosecution
testified that Smith called him
by telephone the day of the slay
ing, saying lie “just shot a man.”
Hellan said Smith told him he
had been suspicious of Mrs.
Smith’s intimacy with Colling
and hid in their home and after
he heard Colling enter, burst in
on the pair and found his wife
sitting on Ceiling's lap. He said
"when Colling advanced threat
eningly, he shot 'i in.” Hfeifen’s
testimony was concluded.
At the time of the slaying Mrs
Smith told officers that Colling
merely visited her to give her a
recipe for a salad dressing he
had made for her on the steamer
Tongass, on which the Smiths
arrived in Juneau the day before
the slaying.
The government rested the de
fense and was given until Mon
day to start the presentation of
