More about Ward continued from Page .1 the judge s summing which followed immediately o the prosecution s closing Speed was expected to last most of the afternoon. Urging the importance of True and proper verdict h commented that in View of the Sale in the Market place o details of filth and vice for Hig financial rewards our task not going to be an easy one. This was an obvious reference to stories sold to newspapers b Christine Keeler 21, and mar Ilyn Mandy Rice Davies a alleged by the prosecution 1 have been the stars of a Stabl of Ward party girls. Justice Marshall admonished the jurors that they should Fin Ward guilty Only if they wer certain that the prosecution a established its charges. He said they must acquit him if they had been left i Doub reasonable to i lying lecher the judge Laid Down his own interpretation of what could b construed As living off prostitution i think a person May of fairly said to be living on the earnings of prostitution if he i paid by prostitutes for Good and services supplied by him to them for the purpose of thei they would lot be supplied with but for Thi each that they were prostitutes before the judge began his speech from the Bench prosecutor Mervyn Griffith Jones denounced Ward As a lying lecher and demanded conviction on Al Iive charges against of living off prostitutes and two of procuring under age girls. Ward pleaded not guilty Anc charged the girls who testified against him were lying. The prosecution was struck by one phase of this during the Inal stages of the trial today when an Appeal court free Aloysius Lucky Gordon one of Christine s negro sex lovers rom a three year prison sen ence on charges he beat her up. Tape recording lord chief Justice lore Arker said he reversed Gor ton s conviction on the basis of till undisclosed evidence con aimed in a. T a p e recording Christine had made. She claims he was High on marijuana at he time. Griffith Jones hastened to Tell be old Bailey jury trying Ward Liat the reversal did not mean lie Appeal court had ruled Christine a liar. The Crown counsel continued is closing speech to the jury when the trial resumed for the events Day. The prosecutor poke for hours. Griffith Jones told the court londay Ward 50, was a Thor ugly filthy fellow who prof de from introducing Rich fiends like the third Viscount Stor and Douglas Fairbanks his promiscuous Young girl friends. The prosecutor said Christine by figure in the sex and secur y scandal involving resigned minister John Profumo and 18 year old Marilyn Mandy Rice Davies were Iris prepared to go to bed Width any a Good umber of corroboration if you come to that conc us he told the jurors then Ley Are. In the eyes of the Law defence counsel James Burge completed his statement to the Ury monday afternoon. It was not expected that the Ury would retire to consider a verdict until wednesday. Speaking of the relations be Ween Ward and Christine 21, n Auburn haired playgirl grif the Jones said it is perhaps Only part of in background again. You will o doubt consider whether she speaking the one up against this the whole a through the Case the Dif Terence in age and the differ nce in education these two persons one aged 48 and the her aged 18 when this Story he said Christine was a wit Ess who requires to be corroborated but on the question of corroboration when a Man is ving with a prostitute it is pre Umed that he is knowingly Liv no on her immoral no other Means what one requires co Robor Ion of in both the Case of Eeler and Davies is first that in was a a restitute you will remember simply a woman who offers or body for Sec idly corroboration of the fact lat she was living with the de Pendant. Once you have that then All be follows unless he satisfies of to the contrary. You have is own admission that he Intro used the two girls when they Ere living at Comer agh Road 5 at least four Fairbanks and two he himself has admitted iat Keeler had no other Means in must have been earning Oney from somewhere. You have his own admission iat there was at least a conver action on the lines of prostitute mentality of which he Speaks Tese Are All matters which my to show that she is telling in truth. Griffith Jones dealt with the Rod when miss Rice Davies As living in Ward s apartment at Wompole mews in London s fashionable West end. Was she a prostitute again she Falls into very much the same category As he said. Ward he said admitted Mandy never worked but appeared to get Money from her boy friends. Men do not give girl friends Money unless for Griffith Jones argued. He said Ward was asked ear Lier did you know she was having sexual Intercourse with different men at your Flat and receiving Money for his answer was i thought she might have done but it was nothing to do with me. I was always is it possible i Griffith Jones asked if you accept that conversation to find any thing nearer to an admission on his part Itiat he knew this Gir was receiving Money for her body and doing so in his Flat although he was not always there. Quite Normal but on the other hand according to his own evidence and i use his own words it was quite Normal for him to be in the Flat while Davies was hav ing turning to the procuring charges the prosecutor asked what is the evidence to have about this business of getting girls for him May i remind you of the words Keeler used in her Evi Dence it became like an understanding Between us that i used to go out and find girls or or. Ward. This is because c was highly influenced by or. Ivard and i would do anything he asked me to and a Little later we never lad any sexual relationship our jeeves and it More or less got on the basis that he wanted me to get him a girl. That has the ring of truth does t Griffith Jones asked. Never forget his own admission that he himself was a thoroughly immoral Man that he liked girls and liked going to de with girls. Never forget his own admission that when there was not a girl elsewhere he would go out to Tottenham court Road and Oxford Street picking them Griffith Jones said there was no need to rely on Christine s word because Ward himself had Given evidence that she got girls or him. The Crown counsel asked if it Vas pure Chance that ays after suggesting to miss x the possibility of giving per romances before a two Way Mirror in the Branston mews apartment Ward took Prostic Ute Vickie Barrett there to Erve his men friends some of whom were whipped by canes r horse whips. He dealt with the evidence by nother prostitute Margaret Ronna Ricardo who said in be witness Box she perjured herself earlier at the pre trial earing and in statement to police. Funny business with the reversal of the Evi ence by that girl it perhaps suggests funny business if i May use that expression with in prosecution he Aid. Burge broke in to ask whether t was right for the prosecution make suggestions which might Lead people to think the defence had anything to do with the changing of the evidence. The judge said he would instruct the jury there was no Evi ence connecting the defendant Vith this. Griffith Jones ended his Peech after 2vi hours saying hat while the atmosphere of ice around Ward was not Eason to convict the fact that e was the Centre of this Circle ave the strongest indication iat the charges were True and iat he was in fact taking Money earned by the pros Titu on of these women.
