BAUGHfJ'S TRIAL
IRBMUND
State Rests, two Defense
Witnesses Heard in
Friday Session
Efforts to Show Robnett's
Slaying Premeditated
Totally Blocked
A procession, of witnesses yes
terday completed the state's pic
ture ot tne Kiuinr. tor which
William H. Banghn is on trial
In circuit court here, and at 3:30
o'clock the defense opened its
story, placing a character wit-
ness and a dentist on the stand
before adjournment came.
The case will be resumed at
f o'clock this morning, bat it is
considered unlikely it will be
finished today. Arguments to the
Jury will likely go over until
Monday morning.
Two links in the state's ease
were paramount yesterday: iden
tification ot the blood-stained
pocket knife taken from Banghn
by Constable Henry Smith of
Stayton the night of the killing:
and Baughn's statement when ar
rested by Smith that he "had dif
fered with Robnett and figured
he'd got him."
Premeditation Claim
Evidence Blocked
Efforts ot the state again yes
terday to build up evidence of
premeditation were blocked,
when the court upheld defense
objections to an attempt to show
that Baughn had bought shells
on the day of the murder.
S. O. Burkhart, last ot the 17
witnesses for the state, testi
fied that Baughn told him the
knife exhibited belonged to
Baughn and that he did the stab
bing with it Burkhart, former
deputy sheriff here, also stated
he saw no bruises or discolora
tions on Banghn on-November
14, but a cut on his upper lip
and a loose tooth.
Defense has attempted at sev
eral times to bring-out on. cross
examination that Baughn's throat
bore a bruise. Defense will today
build up a plea of self defense,
in which such a bruise is ex
pected to figure. One of the two
defense witnesses produced yes
terday was Dr. O. A. Olson, den
tist, who testified to removing a
loose tooth from Baughn's mouth
KnwmW 16 In which extrac
tion a piece of jawbone adhered
to toe loom, me staie enwieu
the statement from the witness
that in extractions it is not us
ual for a small portion of the
lawbone to adhere to the tooth.
Cross examination seemed to
nullify tor the time, the defense
effort. Olson testified that two
lower teeth of Baughn's were

RELIEF POLICY
BY EXECUTIVE
At Least Half Million to
Add to Federal aid is
Request of Meier
Committee Headed by R. B.
Wilcox to Administer
Aid Through State
A message that Governor Meier
described last night as a reminder
to the legislature not to postpone
consideration of relief measures
was read before the house and
senate Friday.
"I urge upon you the necessity
of including in your plans tor
raising revenue the provision of a
fund of not less than 1500,000 for
unemployment relief," the gov
ernor said to the state's law
makers. "This problem is immediate
and nrgent. It Involves the wel
fare ot 0,000 registered unem
ployed citizens who with their de
pendents will suffer need during
the coming months unless prompt
action is taken."
The executive recommended
creation of a seven-member state
relief commission, to serve with
out pay and to be dissolved by ex
entlve proclamation when the
present emergency Is passed.
liKet Act Before
Asking U. 8. Funds
In oral comment later. Govern
or Meier declared it necessary
that the state take definite action
On relief before greater demands
are made for aid from the federal
government.
Loans totaling $980,538 have
been made to 12 counties by the
reconstruction finance corpora
tion," the message said. "Indica
tions are that additional applica
tions will be made by a majority
of counties." .
Explaining that the federal gov
ernment held him personally re
sponsible for proper disposal of
relief funds. Governor Meier de-
of relief effort and therefore ad'
vised creation of the relief com
mission.
Legislative action will be re
quired to make enforceable the
provisions under which federal
funds are allowed, the message
said. Loans, it was explained, are
aeauctioie from future federal aid
highway allotments nnle other
Arrangements are made for pay.
Every county that has received
a federal loan has agreed to re

and explained steps which would

create the new area was Instituted
by the Salem chamber of com

The old Mt. Jefferson primitive
area would be extended southward
to Include a total of 88,700 acres,
an increase of 24,700 acres, he
said. The new area, which is trav

lakes, of which 75 or 80 could
