They might be anybody’s little
girls, not quite out of dolls, not '
quite aware of boys.
The crown prosecutor alleges
they are cold-blooded killers.
Mary Bell, 11, has wide brown
eyes and dark bangs. Her round
face Is intense.
A forensic scientist testified
Monday he found fibers from a i
gray jumper owned by Mary on 1
the bodies of Martin Brown, 4, i
and Brian Howe, 3. Both boys <
were strangled two months ’
apart in different areas of “Rat i
Alley.” 1 <
Norma Bell, 13, is not so
intense. Bigger than Mary, she
has a chipped front tooth and
glances frequently around the
oak paneled courtroom to the
vaulted ceiling.
Norman Lee, the forensic
expert, testified he found fibers
from Norma’s maroon skirt on
Brian Howe's shoes.
The two girls, next-door
neighbors but unrelated, have
pleaded Innocent to charges
they killed both boys “for the
pure pleasure of it.” The
prosecution expected to end its
case today with testimony by a
little girl who allegedly was
once threatened with strangula
tion by Mary Bell.
The crimes are believed
unprecedented in Britain for
children so young. The girls, at
their request, are being tried
before an adult jury of seven
men and five women. If
convicted they will be remanded
“at Her Majesty’s pleasure”—
an open-ended penalty. Britain
has abandoned capital punish
ment for such crimes.
Both girls burst into tears
during Lee’s testimony. It was
their first breakdown since the
trial began Thursday before
red-robed Ralph V. Cusack, a
bespectacled London high court
judge brought to and from court
in a police-escorted limousine.
Earlier, pathologist Bernard
11. Tomlinson testified Brian
Howe’s strangulation marks
were likely inflicted by a child
rather than an adult.

Bentley Will
Give Evidence
To Troup County
ATLANTA (UPl)—Comptrol
ler General James Bentley says
he will turn over evidence to
Troup County for possible ac
tion against a prison camp
guard who carried on a loan
operation for prisoners.
Bentley said Monday he had
completed an investigation into
allegations that several guards
at the Troup County prison
camp loaned money to convicts,
sometimes at exceedingly high
rates of interest.
The comptroller general said
the investigation turned up only
one case where a guard made
loans.
“I gather that he charged an
unusually high rate of Interest
in some instances,” Bentley
said. “There were some in
stances of prisoners borrowing
five bucks and paying back
six.”
He said he would tum his
findings over to the solicitor
general of Troup County and to
prison camp officials for possi
ble prosecution of the unnamed
guard.
“Then officials of the public
works camp must decide wheth
er they want to allow a money
lending operation to continue,”
he said. “If so, a license is nec
essary.”
