A grand jury report Nov. 14, 1947, brought four indictments against Miss Sanders, alias Vicky i Mojonnier. charging her with oo Itaining personal property by false I pretenses. She was accused of leashing worthless checks totaling i$250 In Drain Oct. 28. Judge I Wimberly later sentenced her to ! serve a year each on three sep j arate bad check counts. A grand Jury report In May, this year, indicted Victoria on a first degree murder charge. In connection with Mojonnier's death. It was brought out In the trial that the case had been sulv mined to the grand Jury three times. . Claimed In Daze Victoria claimed to have been in a "daze" from the time she left the Mojonnier home, until she "woke up" on a Portland bound bus. Later, her memory was restored, she said, when sne cut her finger on a broken medi cine bottle in the county Jail, and she described to officers the position of Ralph's body on the bed. District Attorney Davis argued before the Jury yesterday, lhat going into a "daze" is the "oldest dodge known to the criminal law" and is used extensively by "imag inative people, as is this de fendant." Witnesses who knew both Moi onnier and Victoria, Davis said, testilied as to his "attitude of mind" toward the pretty defend ant, bringing out that he was "a quiet type of man, not talk ative" who regarded his situ alinn "with loathing." Motlv. Stated Davis charged that Victoria had been "brooding over the fact that he was going to lease her," and that that provided a motive for the killing. In Victoria's statement, which she gave after cutting her finger, she told "only that which could be observed by others." but she withheld the detail! which onlv she. herself, knew, Davis said. Davis recited various portions of Victoria'! testimony and re called her actions after Mojon nler'i death. He told the Jurors that discrepancies in her story reminded him of the old saying, "Oh what a tangled web we weave, hen first we practice to deceive."

A move to deport William Wayne Wallace, an American citizen of Oregon, was halted to day following an inquiry by a U. S. consular official. Wallace, 34, was to have left Brisbane this afternoon. He has been in Jail since his arrival in Brisbane some days ago under police escort from Thursday Is land, off northern Australia. Robert E. Dowland. U. S. vice consul for Queensland, declined to comment on the case. An im migration official, however, said Wallace was being deported be cause he had not fulfilled condi tions set forth by the immigra tion service. This official said Wallace was given a certificate to stay in Au stralia provided he engaged in the fishing industry. Instead, he went cane-cutting and running around the country, and only re cently had done any fishing, the official said. Eileen Harris, who flew here from Thursday island to plead for Wallace, said he had been earning his living fishing for the last five months. She said he came to Queensland about three years ago when he missed his ship. Giant B-36 Bomber Crashes Into Lake (Continued From Page One) mour of Fort Worth was fatally injured. First Lt. Richard L. English, flight engineer from Sartell, Mi., said he stood on the fuselage of the cigar-shaped ship after the plane hit and took a hasty roll call. He said every man ans wered.

A navy-trained diver, M. R. Best of Arlington, Tex., early this morning probed the murky depth where the multi - million dollar craft crashed. He gave up after 45 minutes. It's hopeless to do anything this morning. I couldn't see my hand in front of my face." Best was to go down into the oil-blackened waters later, In day light.

Co pilot was MaJ. John H. Keene of Miami, Fla. The B-36 is big almost too big to believe.
