"But at BRADY TESTIFIES AT U.K. SEX MURDERS TRIAL: CHESTER, England (Reu- ters)--Ian Brady, charged with three sex murders, today ad- mitted that he hit one of the victims' with an axe "until he shut up," but claimed the chief prosecution witness was an ac- complice in the act He said he and David 'Smith, then 17, hit Edward Evans, also 17, when he resisted their at- tempt to rob him. Brady, 27, and his mistress, Myra Hindley, 23, are jointly charged with the murder of Ev- ans, Lesley Ann Downey, 10, and John Kilbride, 12. A highlight of the trial ear- lier this week was the playing of a tape recording the death of Lesley, allegedly recorded by Brady and Miss Hindley. Today, Brady testified for the first time. He said he told Evans: "All you have to do is put your cash and valuables on the table and then you can go. Evans was sure. » prised and started swearing. He got. from the chair and kicked at me. { grabbed him by the lapels." He said Smith started to hit Evans with a stick, and when Evans would not '"'shut up," he picked up the axe from the fire- place and "hit Evans with the blunt side of the axe. The axe just bounced off his head and it did not seem to have any ef- fect." Miss Hindley stared at Brady as he continued: "There was blood appearing and after that I did not know anything. I just kept hitting him until he shut up." He said Evans was still alive but "gurgling," Brady claimed that Smith turned Evans over, took out his wallet and said he was "a goner,"' The packed court was silent as Brady told of the death of Evans in the living room "of 'I Kept Hitting With Axe' Brady's home at Hyde, near Manchester Brady claimed he picked up Evans in a '"homo- sexual hideout" in Manchester and drove him home to rob him. He said he and Smith--Miss Hindley's brother - in - law -- trussed up the body together, wrapped it in sheets and took it upstairs. Smith's attitude was "theatrical and jocular,"' he said. "He was trying to crack jokes. He said the body was 'a dead weight'." Brady denied prosecution al- legations that he boasted to Smith of "'three or four' mur- ders he had committed, and brought.
