When the cards came out sev eral weeks ago the "u" and "a" in "language" were transposed and the second "s" was missing from "semester."

Luckey said the evidence will show that a shell jacket found near the girl's body was fired from a weapon later taken from the Belcher home. The state will also prove, he said, that the youth confessed the crime to police and that a second confession was wire recorded. The recording will be offered in evidence for the trial. Luckey said testimony will show that powder burns on the girl's clothing will show the fatal shot was fired at close distance to the girl while she was picking wild flowers. The district attorney also stated that the youth admitted to police two days after the fatal shooting that he had had relations with Mary Ellen Campbell and that he could have been responsible for her pregnancy. ELMER ALSO told police Luckey said, that he had planned the crime for two months. One witness for the state was called shortly before the noon re. cess. He was Dana Campbell, lather of the dead girl. Under direct examination Campbell told Luckey' he was sit ting in his car reading a detective magazine about 6 p.m. April 4, while his wife was nearby milk ing the idmily cow. While he was reading, he said he heard two shots, but thought nothing ot them at the time. HE RECALLED how later that evening he missed his daughter and that finally his wife went to the Belcher residence to ask Mrs. Belcher to call police. Campbell testified his daughter had been in Fairview Home for a time and could speak only a few words and hear very little. The father than told of the search for the girl and how the body was found in a wooded sec tion about 200 yards from her home early on the morning on April 5. Under cross - examination, Campbell said he did not know his girl was pregnant until after her death. He said a member of the family told him then. CAMPBELL SAID when he and his wife first went to milk the cows, they saw Elmer working on a car in a neighbor's yard and that when they returned home about 20 minutes later, Elmer was still there. Just as Campbell was called to the stand as the state's first wit ness, Attorney Frank Reid, asso ciated with Lombard in the case, motioned that the indictment was faulty because it did not specify the words "by shooting" to ex plain In the charge how the de. fendant killed the dead girl. Luckey told the court the words had been omitted by mistake. Judge G. F. Skipworth ruled the indictment was defective, but not "fatally defectlwe." He overruled the defense s motion. Numerous state witnesses were scheduled to testify in Tuesday's afternoon session. Gas barrage Ends Strike ANGOLA, La.

How much tax in your telephone bill? When you pay your telephone bill each month, an impor tant part of your money is set aside to be passed on in taxes to the Federal Government and to state, county and city governments. Naturally, we expect to contribute our fair share of the cost of government., .but because taxes now account for such a large portion of the cost of service, we feel we should report about them to you who, as telephone customers, have to pay them. 1 .
