Convicted Kidnap-Slayer Interviewed - Burton W. Abbott, Condemned kidnap-slayer of 14-year-old Stephanie Bryan, who was so upset over the guilty verdict yesterday that he refused to talk to newsmen, is shown in these three poses at a press conference here today. He claimed that the prosecution witnesses committed perjury at his trial and the jurors themselves disregarded testimony of defense witnesses. Jury foreman Harry A. Whitehead said the jurors made a calm, meticulous review of evidence for six days before taking their first vote.
