Dr. Saler and Dr. Blake Wil bur, -who assisted in the autopsy, both said the wounds could hare been produced by the ten-inch length of pipe but added it would require "considerable force be hind it-w Dr. Wilbur admitted under cross examination that it would hare required more than four blows by the pipe to cause the condition ot the skull. Then the defense brought out its accidental theory getting ad missions from both surgeons that the fractures and lacerations pos sibly could have been caused by Mrs. Lamson's head striking against an edge of the wash bowl, which is two feet, five and a quarter inches from the bath tub.; - , Defense counsel Edwin M. Rea created a sensation in the court room while questioning Dr. Wil bur by bringing a human skull into the case with it, while hold ing the pipe in his hand he en deavored to illustrate Bereral questions.

I was undecided whether to remain still or to run. (I Imagine I couldn't have run If I'd tried because of fright.)

This may be a solution to this problem. These skunks Industriously hunted bugs jn the grass all day long. Of course skunks are like the prover- bial negro in that they are very fond of chicken. However there were numerous large coveys ot California quail In the vicinity and I can imagine Mamma and Papa Skunk didn't let their cun ning little babies suffer from lack of such delicious food. Just a bit of advice to the un wary: Never get in front of a skunk when it is frightened or an gry.. The result would be decid edly unpleasant. Many do not know that the noxious perfume used by the skunk family is thrown over the tail in front, fill ing the atmosphere with a fine spray similar to that thrown by an atomizer. TO BE (Continued from page 1) We came to a day when recogni tion was given to a demand that the Sherman act was responsible of itself for some of our troubles, Lift that, they said, and you can prevent the abuses, for which that was enacted, by other means. Abuses Which Caused Sherman Act to Be Curbed "That ia the reason for the na- u0Iltii recovery act. to enable peo- pie to get together. But we must see that the abuses for which the Sherman act was enacted shall not grow up. We shall allow them to proceed to industrial self government but will keep valid a contract of a supervisory nature with the power to modify or veto anything they do. Johnson added that an agency I would be created very quickly for investigating lapses, pointing out that emergency problems have de layed the set-up. He had not reached his study of the retail code, but assistants forecast it would be ready soon. Wage and hour differences were said to have been composed, with trade practice provisions the prin cipal remaining difficulty. Johnson and most of the NRA staff were preparing for the big test of the program tor restoring better times by stimulating the nation's buying power. Over the country more than a million volunteer workers were reported by officials awaiting the word to move on Monday In the stupendous drive to place a blue eagle in every window, oversee compliance by employers with their agreements, nrge consumers to "buy now," and do their buy ing under the NRA insignia.

Wood, unscathed as the bullets flew, was arrested as Jennings' associate, but quickly proved he had been kidnaped by Jennings Monday night, tortured, harassed. and robbed until he appealed for aid to Policeman McDonald. For one moment Jennings bad failed to keep his victim covered he was busy cracking walnuts. McDonald, greeting his many friends on the market staff, was passing by, and was startled by Wood's cry: Look out! This guy's got a gun." Jennings swung around and fired before the surprised police man could act. McDonald reached for his own weapon, but the sec ond shot felled him too soon. Waiving the gun, Jennings started at a run down the long aisles of the market. With one accord, the crowd scurried out ot the way, recovering their indl vldual wits a few seconds later to join in the shout: "Stop that man! He si lie a someone!" But Jennings was out ot the building before his path could be blocked, and rushing the few in tervening yards to Mission street He turned left, toward the post- office, and there McConvllle and Borbeck entered the picture. Two shots missed. The gunman fired back, wounding Mrs. Bowers. A final shot from the policemen killed him. Police said the gunman was known as Jennings and was a for mer ferry ticket taker. Wood told police a graphic story ot the three days and tour nights he bad been held prisoner by a man he described as a ma niac He said Jennings had bound him with picture wire at night and had tortured him to make him reveal his wealth, endlessly threatening to kill him at "the first false move." Jennings' laugh was that ot a madman. Wood said. The first two days were spent at Woods' Sausilito home. "He compelled me to write a letter to the bank asking tor $200, which they sent," Wood said. "Then he made me write and tell them to send over the contents ot my safe deposit box. The bank sent an agent over to find why I wanted the box, suspecting some thing queer. "When I answered the door, my abductor stood right behind me, shoving the gun into my back I told the bank messenger I was feeling better and would drop in at the bank in a day or two to get the box myself! "On Wednesday this man took me to San Francisco. We walked around the streets in broad day light I was afraid to cry out, knowing he would kill me as he had threatened. And he meant it It was well, simply weird. "Sometimes he was friendly. Al most gay. But it was a creepy kind of gaiety. Looney. Then again he'd snarl and threaten to kill me. Kill me Just for fun, he said. "Yesterday we w e n t to the bank, covered by his revolver was compelled to ask for my safe deposit box, containing thousands of dollars worth of cash and se curities."

Aug. 25 Ef forts of a commercial broadcast ing company to obtain part of the present unlimited franchise of the state owned educational station. KOAC, located at. Oregon State college, will be opposed- by some 2 5 prominent Oregon citizens at a hearing- caned for Portland next Monday. W. L.

"Any loss of power on the one hand or limitation of time would seriously cripple the ability of the station o serve the people of the state. Every Indication is that the public service ot the station is Increasing as is shown by growing public response.
