LAD SENTENCED
TO LIFE IN PEN
Racine Welser, 30, frail Klamath
Indian youth, found guilty by a fede
ral court Jury of the slaying of his
father, Sylvester Weiser, on the morn
ing of August 4th last, waa this
morning sentenced to life Imprison
ment, by Federal Judge Alger Fee.
Weiser heard the fateful words with
the traditional stoicism of his race.
The court declared In passing sen
tence, "there are no extenuating cir
cumstance, and the fact that the de
fendant admitted from the witness
stand he harbored a plan to slay hie
father for a period of two or three
months weighs against him tn this
hour of Judgment."
District Attorney George Nuener
told the court "that only the actions
of a charitably inclined federal grand
Jury had stood between the defend
ant and Indictment for first degree
murder." and that "the sentence
should be a lesson to Indians. par
ticularly educated onea that they
cannot brush aside the white man's
law, at the whims of their personal
Inclinations."
Counsel for Weiser asked leniency
from the court on the grounds "that
the most damaging admissions against
him came from his own lips."
The slaying of Sylvester Weiser, the
government contended, was prompted
by the resentment of the ion to
the objections to hia Journeying to
Klamath Falls on "drinking part Lea."
The government charged that young
Weiser, as a climax to a drunken
apree, with other Indian youtha, had
lain In wait for his sire, and shot
him, when he dismounted from his
horse, and reproached Weiser for his
conduct.
The defendant claimed that he
shot In self-defense, and after his
fatiier had menaced him with a club,
with the further plea that he had
shot In protection of hla mother.
