Defense Attorney John D. OConnell said earlier his client was and wouldnt have used his right hand. Mr. Yocom s final statement lief ore Mr. O'Connell began was, I feel the evidence has shown beyond a reasonable doubt that Theodore Robert Bundy is guilty. Mr. O'Connell compared his clients case to such theories as the Bermuda Triangle and the recent cattle mutilations. He said when one hears only rumors about such theories, they sound valid. "But if you apply the evidence you must conclude there is a reasonable doubt, he said.

Broadway, operated the theater without a valid Salt Lake City license have been taken under advisement by City Judge Melvin H. Morris The city contended the theater did not have a valid operating license because when Lee Harper bought the business from Andrew G. Floor, he did not apply for a new license. Mr. Harper, who later sold the theater to Mini Movies, luc., said that at the time of purchase the license was considered one of the assets that was sold. Judge Morris said he would deliver decision in two weeks a How to Act? Mr. OConnell asked how a person, accused of what his client is accused of, is supposed to act. "How do you act if everyone thinks a monster? he said. When Bundys nice, people say its just a front, when he's not, the press labels him as nervous, the defense attorney said. He described Bundy as a young man trying to get ahead in the world and implored the judge "to try to overcome the emotional aspects of the case. Mr. O'Connell said police handling of investigations in the case was, at times, questionable. Pick Right Man He said previously that when Miss DaRonch was shown pictures of Bundy, she may have been suggestively questioned to induce her to pick the righ man. He reiterated those ideas Friday and cited specific instances when Miss youre Rampton Omission State Auditor David S. Monson said Friday he was "concerned over Gov. Calvin L. Ramptons practice of not including the State Auditor in fiscal matters that should include auditing. Speaking to members of the Northern Chapter of the Utah Association of Certified Public Accountants, Mr. Mon-so- n said he still doesn't know why Gov. Rampton went to the Salt Lake County Attorney for an investigation into missing food stamps. More Logical It would have been more logical to ask the state auditor and the state he attorney general for assistance, said. A rebuttal to Mr. Monsons position was offered by Michael T. Miller, administrative assistant to Gov. Rampton, who said the investigation was into who did it, not how much was missing." Value Known The auditor would be needed only if the latter the how much was unknown, he said. Gov. Rampton said he asked Salt Lake County Attorney Paul Van Dam to look into the purported loss of $12,000 in because the law says the stamps county attorney should handle such matters, not the attorney general. 1 Longer Locks Allowed S.L.
