"Ordinarily the court is not

- Claim bo EtWbc8 ,
Show Guilt
Counsel for Bowles and Miss
Loucka contended the prosecu
tion introduced no eTldence to
. show the pair conspired to kill
or did kill Mrs.. Leone Bowles,
who died in Miss Loucks apart
ment with a knife blade in her
heart. " i, ,
The state, in arguing against
r the directed verdict, declared It
. was within the prorince of the
Jury, and the Jury alone, to de
cide whether concluslve proof or
the murder had .been offered.
George Mowry. prosecutor, con
tended he had not only demon
strated the opportunity but had
established the motive.
The Jury was excused during
the argument. Word was brought
Into the courtroom during the
debate that one of the; Jurors,
Peter Norgren, had been; sent to
bed with a severe cold. It was
expected, however, he would be
able to continue his duties when
the trial is resumed. .
- Save for a few deviations
Mowry stuck doggedly to the law
,a mu m address in- strlk-
lng contrast to that of Wallace
McCamant for the defense, an
orator of the old school, who
took most of the morning- ses
sion, with his speech. -Claim
Motive Is
Only Thins Shown
McCamant argued that while
"however legally" the state may
hare established that motircand
opportunity for the murder did
.exist, these points are not perti
nent unless the state can prore,
.which he contends it can not, or
had not, that the Portland cap
italist and his 'ormer secretary
actually killed Mrs. Bowles. :
He reviewed the defense con
tention that the woman commit
mitted suicide when she- learned
,of her , husband's unfaithfulness.
Mowry replied that he did not
believe that Brs. Bowles, "if she
Intended to commit suicide,
would have done It In the apart
ment of the woman her husband
was living with."
"She was the mother of two
little children.; the prosecutor
said. "It would reflect en them
and she certainly wouldn't want
her remains found . In that
. place." .

With Crowd Here :
The crowd went wild as the
Buekarooa began to give Jeffer
son a tough game, but itwas al
most half time before the audi
ence or the Jeff players realized
that - Pendleton would march on
into the- finals. One hand shoot
ing.: long shots., short shots, fol
low-ups; all were working and the
Bucks had their eyes on the bask
et with every try. , Finger-tip con
trol of the ball made them capa
ble of putting it anywhere desir
ed. ... r .... : ' ; '
A determined rally was at
tempted by the- Democrats at the
start of the second half, bat It was
short UTfvj, and though they tried
hard, tw played as though some
great' . weight rested on their
shoulders. Hill slipped: in snd
out, now following up and now
making an awkward appearing
pass to a team. mate. 1
This eellsh player wormed his
way through the Democrat, de
fense to score five field goals,
mostly with one handed' shots.
Kidder also, figured strongly
In the Buck's attack, getting the
Jump on Folen and Tichenor and
following up under both baskets.
Clausen gained seven points for
Jefferson, . taking- scoring honors
for his team.. Brown was about
the only Jeff, man who looked
close to natural and his passes
were frequently Intercepted. . The
crowd was not so noisy in the
second half, but continued to mar
vel at the spectacular shooting
and guarding of . the . Pendleton
quintet.
When the Buckaroos came out
on the floor, to warm up, all of
the players were on their toes and
stepping high to such an extent
as to give rise to some comment.
They continued to-play on their
toes all the game and danced high
with each of the regulars getting
at least three field goals. . ,
Many are now picking the
Buckaroos to win tonight's cham
pionship game. Discerning spec
tators and coaches agree that the
Pendleton team is well drilled and
plays a wonderful passing garner
