Supreme Court Extends
'Borrowed Time9 On
High Treason Case
Convicted Alan
Would Never
Breaks Down
' . - DERTOIT, April lM-The United States supreme court
Wednesday extended the borrowed time of convicted traitor
. Max Stephen by granting a second stay of eexcutionj a few hours
after Federal Judge Arthur J.
banging, for, April 27. '"
Stephen, 52-year-old German
born restaurant owner, was con-
- victed . by a federal court ' jury of
- adding the flight of a nazi flying
: officer who escaped from a Can
adian prison camp. He was sen-
- tenced last August to be. hanged
November 13, but was granted a
stay pending an appeal to the
high court, which last week re-
fused to review his case.
Wednesday Judge Tuttle set the
new execution date despite pro
tests from the condemned man's
attorney, Nicholas Salowich, who
had sought further delay : on
grounds that he was appealing to
the supreme court for a rehear
n a Knlnwirh also he would
appeal to President Roosevelt for
executive clemency.
. The supreme court's new stay
of execution was given under
rules of the high court which al
low 25 days for the filing of a
rehearing application. Thus Sal
owich would have until April 30
;to make, the rehearing appeal.
In his petition for-the stay of
execution, which the supreme
court received by mail, Salowich
said an application for rehearing
would be filed "not for ' the pur
pose of delay but for the purpose
of placing before this court the
fact that - this is a capital case,
the. first treason case to be tried
and brought to this court in 150
years."
. - Stephen's former arrogant con
fidence was completely broken as

Jury Takes
Slaying Case
GOLDENDALE, April 14-()-A
superior court jury of 12 men re
ceived at 3:20 p. m. Wednesday
the first degree , murder case
against ! Robert G. Jennings, 18
year-old Yakima youth who ad
mitted on the witness stand that
he fired the shots that fatally
wounded State Patrolman John
H. Gulden last December 22.
After taking time out for din
ner, the Jurors went back into
session Wednesday night.
The case ended without Prose
cutor Edgar H. Canfield making
any request for the death penalty.
He told the jury to use its own
judgment on the severity of the
penalty on the basis of the evi
dence presented in the three-day
trial. ,
Z. O. Brooks, court-appointed
defense attorney, pleaded for len
iency because the youth never
had had a satisfactory home life
and had been "on his own" most
of his j life. He asserted- society
was to blame for the involvement
of the youth in crime.
Court attaches described the
case as a most unusual trial in
two respects. Through the three
days there were not more than
one or two challenges by attor
neys of questions put to witnesses
by opposing counsel.
Another unusual angle was the
appearance as a witness of John
Windmayer, 17, who is jointly ac
cused of first degree murder but
will have a separate trial. !
Jennings finished Wednesday
the testimony he , began in the
final half hour of Tuesday's court
session. He testified that his home
life had been almost non-existent,
he had served two terms in the
state training school and consid
ered Yakima police officers his
best adult friends.

No. 57 oa Series
More Women
Than Men
Answer Call
. In spite of the greater need for
men than women for work in the
hop fields, women outnumbered
men in answer to a call put out
by the local US employment of
fice, . officials admitted Wednes
day. IrXr '"i:;..
.Three women appeared at 7 JO
a. m. ready -to go out on jobs.
Later in the day two men strag
gled in.
Officials believed the lack of
response was due to the late an
nouncement of the need for work
ers. But at the same time they
epressed disapproval of the hop
growers who called seeking help
but failed to provide transpor
tation for ," workers. "They yell
wolf a few times, that's bad,'
commented Ethan Grant, assist
ant, manager of the office. "Well
get the labor but they'll have to
do their part."
The call is still out for. hop
workers. Every morning i at : 7:30
a. m. trucks will call at the US
employment office to pick tip
helpers. The present need is for
20 to 50, but local officials ex
pect the demand to increase dai
ly as the fine weather lasts. Pay
is 65 cents per hour for women,
75 cents per hour for men. The
jobs are not seasonal, but will
develop into other types of agri
culture work throughout the
spring, summer and f alL
Most of the work called for a
this time Is hard labor.
