of Graves and then go back and
live together. Mrs. Rice furnish
ed the information on which this
lawsuit is based."
Counsel for the defendant as
serted that he would prove that
the Rice couple had domestic dif
ficulties and lived apart a year be
fore Mrs. Rice met Graves. He
said thehr case would show Graves
did nothing but good to the young
woman. Winslow asserted Mrs.
Rice was going with several other
men when she kept company with
Graves.
'The 'name of Justice J. O.
Bailey was brought into the case
when the defense counsel in his
opening statement said the Ore
gon supreme court Justice used to
drop into Grave's apartment some
times when Mrs. Rice was there
and the three would have meala
together. Winslow said Graves
and Justice Bailey would then
wash the-dishes while Mrs. Rice
left the apartment. Justice Bailey

securing any money from any
federal, state or local government
tor any sort of project.
"This was not a money-making
project, but we hoped to make it
self-liquidating by leasing res
idential lots on parts not desir
able for park purposes.
"No promotion fees, no divi
dends whatsoever have been paid
and only absolutely essential sal
aries have been paid for operation
and development of the area.
"Last December some people in
Porter county proposed to develop
with the aid of federal funds, a

this property. They asked Dune
Acres, Inc., for an option. This
we gave for 60 days."
In referring to the Virginia din

heard talk of "Kerensky" and
"Stalin," Ickes said, "Dr. Wirt is

Ickes added that the educator
