! SANTA ANA, Calif, Sept JO
iiip)-LouUe Overall's attorneys
pictured her today ss sn innocent
17-year-old, involved In her first
love affair, who suddenly found
herself a national figure because
of what he described ss a prose
rutor's politically-motivated," de
sire for a "Roman holiday."
! Lawyers for the heiress, now
18, on trial with her fiancs on
murder chsrger In the deaths of
her parents i aboard their yacht,
alternately shouted and soothed
the Jury of six men and aix women
as the 19-week trial nesred an
end.
j Louise ut calmly, but listened
intently. HeK co-defendant, George
Gollum, rocked in s swivel chair,
Scheming Matron
Bertrand West, one of the law
yers, charged that a "scheming
matron" convinced Louise she
should help her boy friend's mor
ale by writing to him-in jail-
thus starting a series of love
botes which the prosecution con
tended in its closing arguments
were "filled with greed, lust, filth,
perversion."
Her parents, Financier, and Mrs
Waiter E. Overell, were 82 and
57, years old, respectively, when
they died March 15 aboard their
dynamite-shattered cabin cruiser
in Newport harbor.
"West's plea was followed by
that of Otto Jacobs, Louise's
chief counsel. He charged that At
torney General Fred Howser sent
bis special assistant Eugene Wil
liams, "with an international
reputation, a vast and almost un
limited knowledge of the law,1
to Santa Ana "to convict that
girl at the end of this table."
Polities Changed
"Why?- Jacobs asked. "For
political considerations, of course.
"Do you think Mr. Williams
would be here if Miss Overell had
come from an ordinary family?
No: Mr. Howser knew she was
from wealthy parents, so he
thought he would have a Roman
holiday at" her expense."
"The" prosecution keeps refer'
ring back , to those love letters,"
he went on. "They want you to
believe that , Louise went to her
Flintridge home after the explo
sion and. got in bed with Gollum,
But they didn't have such evi
dence. They want you to suspect
mat ane did."

Gasoline Fire
Proves Equal
Of Kerosene
GREEN BAY, Wfl., Sept. 30
()- Sam Collins muttered as he
emptied the second three-gallon
can of fuel into the tank of his
home's circulating oil heater, last
night. T
"If this stove burns oil at this
rate we'll go broke," he com
plained to his wife.
He didn't know how close both
of them were to "going broke"
in more ways than one. Today he
learned police and state oil in
spectors' had been searching fran
ally for Mrs. Collins to warn her
she had been sold sjx gallons of
gasoline instead of the fuel oil
she'd ordered and that they had
escaped an explosion by one
chance in a million.
''Burned fine." Sam said shak
ily, "except it had a red flame in
stead of a blue one."
First Aid Car
Out of Service
Emergency first aid service In
Salem was back on a pre-1937
basis again Tuesday, as the city's
10-year-old first . aid car re
mained out of service for the fifth
consecutive day.
While treatment can be given
at the east Salem fire station for
walk-ins, outside calls cannot be
answered. When repairs will be
completed on the vehicle's trans
mission' is a matter of conjecture,
according to Cspt Arthur Bloom
of the aid crew.
Another question still on the
minds of the crew is when delivery
ran be secured on the new emer
gency car, ordered with funds ob
tained through efforts of the Sa
lem Trades and Labor council.
