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. -

Raising Favored
For Land Use
Prinevllle, Jan. 21 With J. 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.

California's unemployment "prob

- Warren last night told 600 dele

"opportunities just as great as
the opportunities of our fore
fathers." . "We must have new employ

Battleship Still
Fast in Mudbank
Norfolk, Va., Jan. 21 'IB The
navy today scratched its only
battleship from next month's
Caribbean war games -r-by the
margin of six inches of water.
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. Blandy, com
mander in chief of the U. S, At
lantic fleet, is expected to find
out Just how "Big Mo" slipped
into the stubborn grip of the mud
in the first place. ,
Twenty-ane ships and 2,000 men
tried to yank the Missouri into
motion yesterday. 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."
"My opinion is," he said, "that
the next effort to move the Mis

officials, had speculated that the

they thought mud and sand were

SUSPECT LEAPS TO DEATH
San Francisco, Jan. 21 IP
Suddenly realizing he had given
too quick an answer, George Ra
zee, 35, held as a suspected pan
derer and narcotic addict, jumped
out a window of police headquar
ters to his death late yesterday.
Questioned op whether he was
one of two men who robbed Mil
ton Cohen of $150, a diamond
ring and a wrist watch, P.ezee
blurted out: ,
"It's a damned lie. We didn't
get $150. We only got $38. And
we didn't get no jewelry."
As police began writing In their
report Razee suddenly jumped
through a closed window and fi ll
to his death four floors below.
A policeman trying to stop him
was left with the rubber heel to
Razee's shoe in his hand.
