Bundy, 29, Tacoma, Wash. _ A tearful Carol DaRonch, 19, spent 2 % hours on the witness stand Monday afternoon describing how she fought off an assailant and escaped the night of’ Nov. 8, 1974. Bundy, a University of Utah law student, waived his right to a jury trial and the case is being heard by Third District Court Judge Stewart M. Hanson Jr. . “T have never seen anybody so frightened in my life.’ Mrs. Mary Walsh, Murray, testified today, describing how Miss DaRonch appeared in front of the Walsh car as she and her husband, Wilbur, were driving by the McMillan School, the night of Nov. 8 She said the hysterical girl (handcuffs daneling from one wrist) opened the car door and jumped in. “I tried to comfort her, then I saw the handcuffs and I was confused. I thought maybe she was a J‘ugitive or something.” She said she and her husband drove the girl to the Murray Police Station. After her husband gave similar testimony, the defense attorney, John D. O’Connell, asked if the girl had mentioned a tire iron or crowbar. Walsh said, “She mentioned a gun and a tire iron or crowbar, some metal object. I think she said tire iron.” O'Connell objected to allowing testimony by James Gaskill, assistant professor of police science at Weber State College, saying hé was not a physician or hematologist and therefore not an expert witness. The judge overruled the objection and Gaskill, who is in charge of the WSC crime lab, testified that blood samples ‘taken from Miss DaRonch’s coat were Type O blood. a een) (Indicate page, name of newspaper, city and state.)
