The trial has been in progress night and day since Mon- day with the prosecution claiming that she is mentally responsible and that she is guilty of the slaying of her sister. The defense has stressed the weakness of the state's case on grounds of insufficient evidence and also claimed that the defendant is insane and not mentally rsponsiblc. .The Lrial got underway-Monday morning and the jury was picked before the day's session had ended. The prosecution pointed out that tho defendant had purchased two .22 caliber weapons at an Olympia sporting goods store on the day the shooting took place. The clerk who was on duty at the time iden- tified Mrs. Creech as the person who had made the purchase. He said that he had talked wtth her concerning the type of shells which would be best for the type of weapons she had bought. EVERAL MEMBER8 of the Mason county sheriff's office were called in to testify for the state. Deputy Sheriff Walt Wright said he had received a call on the shooting about 12:10 p.m. and im- mediately left for Minerva Park on Hood Canal. Wright said that he touched nothing but found the body of the victim lying in the tall grass close to the beach. Sheriff Potter, Chief Deputy Mel Robert- son and Prosecuting Attorney By- ron McClanahan and (2. T. Hatten, a local attorney, arrived at the scene a few minutes later. Potter testified how the defen- dant came into the sheriff's office later in the afternoon with two packages of .22 shells. She id that she was afraid that the heat might cause them to explode, The sheriff testified that the defen- dant appeared upset and confused and that he offered her a glass of water and took her into a pri- vate room to talk with her. Pot- ter said that County Prosecutor Byron McClanahan came into the room a few minutes later and asked the defendant if she wa in trouble. According to Potter, Mrs. Creech wanted to know who Mc- Clanahan was. When told that he jwas the county prosecutor Mrs. Crcech said, "I know my rights, I don't have to talk with you." A Mrs. Cuzick, who lives a few houses down from where the shooting took place, told the court that she was waahing some clothes around noontime on May 21 and suddenly heatxl screams and slots ¢'.onsin,- from the home of Mrs. Bloonffield. She said that She saw two women running between the houses and could not identify the second woman but did identify Mrs. Bloomfield. She said that the voma-had tark hair but could not remember much else abouL her. ,Irs. Cuzick added LhaL a fw Seconds lter le saw a dark colored car drive away. I)ICK REED° a son of the de- fendant, appeared before the cmzrt Tuesday morning and told of the long standing bitter feeling be- tween his mother and his aunt, the victim. The cause of the t)uble, according to Ms. Creech'a son. was the .waTding' of the boy to Mrs. BloomfLeld.h, a court several years ago, He said that almost evetime his mother and aunt got together an argument arose. Reed recalled a time many years ago when his mother tried to take him away from the Bloomfield home in tle middle of the night. He said that the whole household was awakened from sleep and an argumsnt fol- lowed. The state based its ease on cir- cumstantial evidence coupled with the strong motive of the loss of i her son to her sister through court action. I oTHE STATE also present,d two dctora from Western Stat£ Hos-] pltal who testified. The first was[ Dr. M. M: Campbell, a psychiatrist I who examined Mrs. Ci'eeeh when l she spent 90 days this summer at I (Ctnthtued on pag, 5) Soph.

The trial has been in progress night and day since Mon- day with the prosecution claiming that she is mentally responsible and that she is guilty of the slaying of her sister. The defense has stressed the weakness of the state's case on grounds of insufficient evidence and also claimed that the defendant is insane and not mentally rsponsiblc. .The Lrial got underway-Monday morning and the jury was picked before the day's session had ended. The prosecution pointed out that tho defendant had purchased two .22 caliber weapons at an Olympia sporting goods store on the day the shooting took place. The clerk who was on duty at the time iden- tified Mrs. Creech as the person who had made the purchase. He said that he had talked wtth her concerning the type of shells which would be best for the type of weapons she had bought. EVERAL MEMBER8 of the Mason county sheriff's office were called in to testify for the state. Deputy Sheriff Walt Wright said he had received a call on the shooting about 12:10 p.m. and im- mediately left for Minerva Park on Hood Canal. Wright said that he touched nothing but found the body of the victim lying in the tall grass close to the beach. Sheriff Potter, Chief Deputy Mel Robert- son and Prosecuting Attorney By- ron McClanahan and (2. T. Hatten, a local attorney, arrived at the scene a few minutes later. Potter testified how the defen- dant came into the sheriff's office later in the afternoon with two packages of .22 shells. She id that she was afraid that the heat might cause them to explode, The sheriff testified that the defen- dant appeared upset and confused and that he offered her a glass of water and took her into a pri- vate room to talk with her. Pot- ter said that County Prosecutor Byron McClanahan came into the room a few minutes later and asked the defendant if she wa in trouble. According to Potter, Mrs. Creech wanted to know who Mc- Clanahan was. When told that he jwas the county prosecutor Mrs. Crcech said, "I know my rights, I don't have to talk with you." A Mrs. Cuzick, who lives a few houses down from where the shooting took place, told the court that she was waahing some clothes around noontime on May 21 and suddenly heatxl screams and slots ¢'.onsin,- from the home of Mrs. Bloonffield. She said that She saw two women running between the houses and could not identify the second woman but did identify Mrs. Bloomfield. She said that the voma-had tark hair but could not remember much else abouL her. ,Irs. Cuzick added LhaL a fw Seconds lter le saw a dark colored car drive away. I)ICK REED° a son of the de- fendant, appeared before the cmzrt Tuesday morning and told of the long standing bitter feeling be- tween his mother and his aunt, the victim. The cause of the t)uble, according to Ms. Creech'a son. was the .waTding' of the boy to Mrs. BloomfLeld.h, a court several years ago, He said that almost evetime his mother and aunt got together an argument arose. Reed recalled a time many years ago when his mother tried to take him away from the Bloomfield home in tle middle of the night. He said that the whole household was awakened from sleep and an argumsnt fol- lowed. The state based its ease on cir- cumstantial evidence coupled with the strong motive of the loss of i her son to her sister through court action. I oTHE STATE also present,d two d ctora from Western Stat£ Hos-] pltal who testified. The first was[ Dr. M. M: Campbell, a psychiatrist I who examined Mrs. Ci'eeeh when l she spent 90 days this summer at I (Ctnthtued on pag, 5) Soph.
