Jury Finds Stone News of Record (Continued from Page 1) attempted to discredit the testimony of the prosecution witnesses by pointing out incon-, sistencies in the testimony. Garreff said Robert Detty was "off duty, at a stag party, and having fun" when he had his conversation with Stone Feb.

13. Garreff said Detty had once worked for Stone and been dismissed by him, and that he had not filed a report of his conversation with Stone until March 20. Garreff said he would not call Detty a liar, but felt he had "tried to help a little" when the prosecution realized it had a weak case against Stone. Garreff added that when Sgt. James G.

Harris arrested Mrs. Larkin for prosecution, he had not checked on another single woman who was registered at the motel the night of Feb. 13. He added that Harris had no first hand knowledge of the crime of procuring, and that he had filed charges against Stone on the basis of information obtained from Mrs. Larkin and her husband.

Mrs. Larkin's husband, Robert Larkin, was never called to testify, even though he was in the witness room, Garreff said. Robert Larkin, however, was in the witness room under a subpoena issued by the defense. Testimony Inconsistent Garreff said the testimony did not show that Stone had sent anyone to Mrs. Larkin's motel room for purposes of prostitution, and that Mrs.

Larkin's accounts of when and where she gave Stone money she had earned in prostitution were inconsistent. The prosecution could have called on the three men Mrs. Larkin mentioned as her customers to further implicate Stone if he were involved, Garreff said. Assistant Prosecutor Richard Ward, in rebuttal to Garreff's summation, said the defense was attempting to raise a monumental smoke screen and cautioned the jury not to lose sight of the fact that a procuring case was being tried. Ward said the defense had picked out the inconsistencies in the testimony, but avoided the consistencies.

Ward said that in order to prove a charge of procuring, it is necessary to first produce a prostitute, and that there were bound to be ingonsistencies in Mrs. Larkin's testi-3, mony since she was subjected to hours of questioning and was not very smart to begin with. Ward commented that the defense had asked why the prosecution did not call other witnesses, but had not mentioned that the defense is also permitted to call witnesses. Ward said the state's version of the events, relying on testimony by Mrs. Larkin, Patrolman Detty and Sgt.

Harris, fits together while the defense version relied solely on Stone's account. Ward said the question became a matter of which version the jury chose to believe. is a weed of vice and corruption growing in our community." Ward said in conclusion. "We snipped the top from this weed when Patricia was convicted of false registration at a motel, and we snipped it a little lower when she was convicted of prostitution. "Now you (the jury) must decide if we will get the root of this weed the procurer." Mrs.
