By STUART LAKE ‘OTTAWA (CP)—Defence law- yer G. Arthur Martin struck at one of the vital points in the Crown’s case against Steven Truscott Wednesday as the Su- preme Court of Canada began its review of the celebrated seven-year-old murder case.
Under cross - examination by Mr. .Martin, Crown witness Dr. Nobel. Sharpe agreed he had | written an article for a medical magazine casting dowbt on the value of establishing time of death by contents of a victim's stomach..
It was in this way that the Crown at trial proved that 12- year-old Lynne Harper had been sexually asssulted and strangled between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. on June 9, 1959, at_Clis- ton, Ont.
The Crown also becdaved evidence at the trial to show that Steven, then 14, left the
7 p.m. and returned alone about an hour later.
HEARS 5 WITNESSES — Truscott himself was lodged. in a cell about a mile away as the high court heard the first five of 34 witnesses it has éalled. The court is to give its opinion to the cabinet on : whether Truscott was wrong- fully’ convicted of the crime. Mr. Martin, one of Canada’s

most prominent trial lawyers retained by the federal govern- ment to fight the Truscott case, told the court he did not wish to have his client in the court during the hearings.
Truscott would ‘appear only when he gave evidence—ex- pected to be sometime today.
Mr. Martin quoted Dr. Sharpe, chief medical examiner for. the Ontario attorney-gen- eral’s~ office; -as-- writing -that- pathologists are placed in ‘‘an awkward position’’ when asked to determine time of death from stomach contents.
The article said these ‘rough approximations” are of value to investigators but of little help to the court.
Dr. Sharpe also agreed that anger, fear of some other emo- tion might slow down the proc- ess at which the stomach Is emptied.
Other evidence heard by the court revolved around a missing piece of material from: Lynne
