embedded in an unidentified "gummy sticky substance", that Morrison found on the soles of Mays's sneakers.  He said that pieces of gold glitter embedded in the gummy substance—"gunk"  Hadley termed it—was similar to Christmas glitter from the Zeigler house, though generally smaller.

And he matched the shattered eyeglasses from the pocket of Perry Edwards to the glass fragments found in the bloody patch east of the counter: the spot where the defense believed that hidden assailants may have ambushed Eunice and her parents.

Hadley was unable to question Morrison about one piece of evidence—key evidence, as far as Hadley was concerned.  In his cross-examination of Edward Williams, Hadley had pinned down Williams on the question of where he carried the Securities pistol when he went to the Kentucky Fried Chicken: in his right pants pocket, Williams said.  Hadley saw this as a unique chance to scrutinize a specific point of Williams's testimony.

But that depended on results from Roger Morrison's laboratory. The laboratory's gunshot residue test of the right pocket of Williams's pants was still not complete, and the testimony phase of the trial was near an end.

The next morning, Tommy Zeigler would take the stand in his own defense.
