PAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULLET IR BEND, OREGON SATURDAY. JANUARY 21, 1950 Girl Convicted Of Murder, Faces Life in Prison Brady, Tex., Jan. 21 Ui Mrs. Sandra Peterson waited today in a jail cell she could "never call home" as her defense counsel de cided whether to appeal a verdict which would place her behind bars for life. A jury of farmers and ranch ers last night found the 18-year- old Massachusetts girl guilty of murder with malice aforetnougnt in the roadside slaying and rob bery of a Brady realtor. They sentenced her to life im prisonment after deliberating more than five hours. She was found guilty of killing Lewis Patterson, a businessman who had given her and a hitch hiking companion, 15-year-old Lo retta Fae Mozingo, a lift. The verdict came despite Lo retta Fae's admission on the wit ness stand that she, and not Mrs. Peterson, held the gun which kill ed Patterson. Muy Be Appealed If her two court-appointed law yers decide to appeal the case, the move will have to be made by Lawyer Ross Hoffman. The other defense attorney, Bill Al corn, takes over as district attor ney here Feb. 1. "It's quiet as a funeral In here," the icy-faced brunette remarked in the McCulloeh county sheriff's office a few minutes after she heard her fate pronounced. Outside, gawking bobby-soxers and elderly men and women stood on the courthouse lawn, trying to peer through blind-shrouded win dows "Hell, I'm still here," Mrs. Pe terson shot back. After 15 minutes' rest, the girl accused by the prosecution of be ing "more dangerous than a rat tlesnake" and not fit "to breathe the fresh air of west Texas" was asked if she was ready to "go home," meaning back to jail. Jitll No v "Home" "I'm never ready," she replied, i "I could never call It home." Officers led her to a police car for the two-block trip to the coun ty jail. The curious lined the streets of this small Texas town. They had packed the courtroom to double its seating capacity and then overflowed on stairways and windswept fire escapes for the climax of the sensational trial. They had remained quiet on or der of Judge A. O. Newman as he solemnly read the jury's de cision. Mrs. Peterson took it calmly, clasping her hands tightly, com pressing her lips, working her jaw muscles slightly. No other signs of nervousness showed as she eyed the jurymen compla cently. "I'm still on my feet," was her first reaction when someone ask ed her how she felt about the verdict. - Bowling SPORTSMEN'S LEAGUE Hutchins Motors last night scored high game of 968 and se ries of 2732 while taking four points from Medo-Land Cream ery.

C. Minson, Powell Butte rancher and Crook county commissioner, as chairman, the Land Use commit tee of the Crook county agricul tural conference, meeting Thurs day in the office of County agent E. L. Woods, recommended lim ited livestock operations as a type of farming best suited to main tain a proper economy and to re tain soil fertility. Taking a lead In the discussion, C. C. Vice of Powell Butte de clared that farmers, when seek ing to change their methods of agriculture, should be encour aged to adopt crops that will not build up surpluses. It was ob served in discussions that, as a result of the system of subsidies on soil depleting farm crops dur ing the demand of war days for food supplies, farmers found that they could make more money by planting these soil depleting crops than by engaging in practices that will build up soil. Even un der the program of limited acre age, the point was made that the lesser acreages planted were giv en a maximum application of fer tilizers, bringing- the per acre yield to such increase that in the final analysis overall production was frequently Increased instead of decreased. Beef Cattle Common ' Discussion revealed that irriga tion farmers of Crook county have, since war days, employed beef cattle production Instead of dairying, which was predominant in the 19308. It was recommend ed in discussion Thursday that the extension service of the Ore gon State college, represented at the conference by J. C. (Dinty) Moore, conservationist specialist, might aid the farmers on the Ochoco and Central Oregon Irri gation districts by suggesting a breeding program for their small home herd operations. Currently, it was declared, many of the home flocks are selected at ran dom and no standard plan of breeding for such operations has been attempted. The Central Oregon Livestock Shipping association, which a year ago was expanded from its former coverage of Crook county, established chiefly to aid home flock sheep owners in getting their lambs to terminal, markets in pooled shipments, to Deschutes and Jefferson counties a9 well, with cattle and hog shipments Included, was declared at the Thursday meeting to have be come a very encouraging factor toward gaining expansion of the livestock business on the irriga tion farms of Crook county. Advantages Cited County agent Woods said the advantages of pooled shipping now make it possible for the man with a few hogs, lambs or cattle to gain the benefits of the ter minal markets. The pooled ship ping program, under manage ment of Don Snabel of Powell Butte, has been very successful. It was declared. The committee Informed Moore that it would be well if the state college extension service engage in some research on type ot grasses that may be seeded in irrigated pastures of the county's irrigation farmers. The committee went on record In strong support of the Central Oregon Agricultural Research program, established by legisla tive act of 1947 and given an exnansion by an act of the 1949 legislature. The committeemen generally approved the work that has been undertaken by Malcolm Johnson, who is director of the experimental work undertaken in Jefferson, Deschutes and Crook counties. Cooperating farmers in the -three counties have made available plo's of their farms for testing fertilizer and cultural practices on potatoes and leg umes. The commit ttee, however, de clared that It thought it advis able for the state experiment sta tion to furnish Johnson with an irrigation specialist to give study to methods of keeping distribu tion systems clear of weeds and tule growth, which cause Ineffi ciency In water application. It was declared that Irrigation farm ers of the county might profit if some specialist were sent to the district to demonstrate methods of applying new typos of chemi cals for controlling vegetation such as clogs irrigation canals. The problem of land levelling was discussed. L. II. MoPhet ridge, a committeeman, who has engaged In a substantial lot of j land levelling and preparation, declared that such development Involves substantial expense. When properly prosecuted, how ever, he believes, such activities result; In more economic use of water and more profitable opera- ' Hons on the land.

It named as , a special committee Judge A. R. Bowman, E. L. Woods and Joe D. Thomison to supply its chairman with a re port on the proposal of the Pow ell Butte Highline Irrigation as sociation to have the lull run-on ot the Crooked river watershed conserved by a dam at Hoffman site, 13 miles south of the city. Included in this plan would be use of water from the Hoffman reservoir to irrigate more than 10,000 acres of benchland south and east of Powell Butte. t It is proposed that the Land Use committee utilize the special re port in endorsing the Powell Butte Highline association in its pleas for the Hoffman dam de velopment at a meeting to be held here February 1 between U.S. bureau officials of the Boise regional office and the Oregon state planning office and Crook county reclamation interests. The Land use committee also Thursday Instructed Chairman Minson to wire Michael W- Straus, reclamation commission er, asking that he include for im mediate authorization as recom mended projects, in H.R. 5472, now before congress, the Paulina and Post projects as well as the Prinevllle project.

High naval officers indicated j last night . that that small rise j in Hampton Roads would have re- j floated the mighty USS Missouri from the muck that has held it since Tuesday. Meanwhile, "Big Mo" settled a little deeper and waited for high tide and a naval inquiry board. The high tide, which isn't due until Feb. 2, is the next hope for refloating the bristling craft on which the Japanese officially sur rendered in 1945. The board, appointed yesterday by Adm. W. H. P.

The battleship first went hard aground in 28 feet of water. A stiff breeze blew In 18 more inches yesterday. Six more inches would have done it, the officers hinted. Hope Still Held Rear Adm. Homer N. Wallln, commander of the Norfolk navy shipyard at Portsmouth and one of the chief salvage directors, came up with the first encourag ing word on "operation refloat."
