blood smear on the wall was iden
tified by Slaughter as belonging to a
maid employed at the Davis mansion
at the time of the murder. Prose
cutor Joe Shannon Jr. said it was
necessary to establish the identity of
the person who left the palm print no
matter who it was because it was
found near the blood stain.
“If you don’t establish whose it is,
they (defense lawyers) are going to
come back and try to insinuate it was
the killer’s,” Shannon said. “It’s no
big deal except it’s important if we
don’t identify it.”
Although prosecutors were unable
to place Davis at the scene through
fingerprints, three persons have tes
tified he was present the night the
Wilborn child was shot.
Davis, 44, is being tried for the
murder of the Wilborn child but is
also accused of wounding his es
tranged wife, Priscilla, 36, and mur
dering her lover, Stan Farr, 31.
, Davis is also charged with wounding
Gus G.avrel Jr., 22, a family acquain
tance.
Mrs. Davis, Gavrel and his
girlfriend, Beverly Bass, 19, have all
identified Davis as the black-clad in
truder who entered Davis’ former
home. Davis vacated the 19,000-
square-foot mansion in 1974 when
Mrs. Davis filed for divorce.
Slaughter testified the prints
found at the mansion were compared
with a number of Davis family mem
bers and friends, including one of
Mrs. Davis’ former boyfriends and
one of Farr’s ex-business associates.
H e said none of the prints
matched those of the boyfriend,

Carlsbad, to Prague, police said. By
the time Czechoslovak air control
lers realized the plane was off course
it already was in West German air
space, Prague aviation sources said.
The plane flow toward Munich then
veered toward Frankfurt where it
landed without permission.
In a radio conversation with the
Frankfurt tower the hijackers de
manded the plane be refueled so it
could fly on to Munich, where they
wanted to surrender. But they were
told this was impossible because of
technical problems and they were
persuaded to leave the plane in
Frankfurt, Mueller said.
At Prague airport a crisis staff met
and contacted Frankfurt airport au
thorities. The Czechoslovaks were
expected to demand and receive
permission for the plane and the re

mansion maid.
Defense attorneys indicated they
would produce more testimony on
fingerprints from their own expert.
The trial, the longest murder trial in
Texas history, is in its eighth week of
testimony.
Prosecutors Monday dramatically
delayed identifying the persons who
made the fingerprints at the man
sion.
Davis, seemingly unconcerned
about the introduction of the prints,
remarked to reporters: “Well, there
it is. I guess that about wraps it up.”
The homicide detective who lifted
the prints said he was never in
formed of the results of crime lab
tests and could not identify them.
