MARGARET WALEY FLAYED IN FINAL STATE (Continued from Page One.) equal rights with men; they are ad' milted to vote; she's enough edu cated to know what she's doing .She's clalmtnii that to avoid the criminal laws of her country." Picking up a pasteboard box, about three feet high, two feet long and over a foot wide, Hughes placed U In front of the Jury and recalled that George had testified he was stuffed In that box for one of his automobile trips during ransom ne gotiatlon. "I wish that you could feel that little boy's feelings." Hughes said. "You saw the cramped condition oi that car." Describing the flight across Wash ington state to Spokane with the little hostage. Hughes' voice raised as he faced Mrs. Watey and cried: Went Through With It, "If she had any woman's soul, she knew that mother (Mrs. J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., of Tacoma) was waiting here for him. And with that little boy's words, 'can I get out now. Mister?' ringing In her ears, she went on through with It." He recalled that her excuse was that she feared her husband would be arrested for being In the state In violation of parole "and she put that above that mother's anguish that mother's anxiety." FEDERAL COURTROOM, Tacoma, Wash., July 12. (AP) The defense In the Mrs. Margaret Thulln Waley kidnaping trial rested Its case at 10:15 a.m., today, with Mrs. Waley the only witness placed on the stand by the defense. With a brief government cross- examination of Mrs. Waley finished John P. Dore, chief defense counsel, told the court the defense's testi mony was ended. Assistant United States District Attorney Owen P. Hughes began i summation of the testimony sub mltted by the government In its efforts to prove Mrs. Waley guilty of kidnaping and conspiring to kid nap George Weyerhaeuser, 9-year-old Tacoma boy. May 34. Ending Is Surprise. Toe sudden ending of testimony by both sides came almost as a com plete surprise to the crowded court room, although Dore, while Mrs. Waley wns being cross-examined, told newsmen that her husband, Hsrmon Metz Waley, would not be called as witness. Spesklng slowly, Hughes leaned an elbow on the bar as he reviewed the case, witness by witness. Mrs. Waley sat back In her chair taring at the Jury and kneading her green-edged handkerchief, characteristic act with her. The Jury followed Hughes' exposi tion Intently. Neither George nor his father, J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., were In court today. Conspiracy Em pit ant zed. Most of Hughes' summation was devoted to emphasizing the evidence tending to show Mrs. Waley conspired with her husband and "this baa boy." the fugitive WUUom Dalnard. Hughes said this Included Mrs. Waley showing her husband and their fugitive co-defendant, William Dalnard, alias Mahan. a newspaper account of the death of George's grandfather, J. P. Weyerhaeuser, tir, here May M; of Waley dying his hair red, and of the three leaving spo ksne for Seattle to "case the Job." He emphasized testimony of Ida Hoxworth, who had been with the Waleys and Dalnard at the Spokane house the throe defendants are later alleged to have fi.ied ag a "hideout bouse-' and of Mrs. Waley leaving two different forwarding addresses In the name "Von Meta" one being Waley's mothers home here, and the other being "general delivery. Butte Mont." It was at Butte that Dalnard disappeared after collecting the ran dom, abandoning an automobile and 10,153 of the random money. Trip Keralled. Hughes also recalled that Mrs. Waley accompanied Dalnard. whom she said she knew as "Davis," on an afternoon automobile ride to Yaklms Immediately prior to taking George to Spokane. Mrs. Waley testified they went to Ynklma only to get dinner. Hughes asserted that the news papers that day were full of the fact that the state patrol had blockaded all roads In the hunt for the kid napers, and he asserted the Yakima trip clearly was to test this block ade and determine whether the ab ductors could run the blockade with their little hostage through Sno. qualmie Pasn In the Cascade moun tains, en route to Spokane.

Dull Summer for Helen Stephens With Stella Walsh Off in Europe FULTON, Mo. ( fP) Helen Ste phens. the central Missouri farm girl whose nalvette laid the foundation for a feminine sprinting feud with Stella Walsh which may have Olym pic consequences, Is on a quest for summer competition. Miss Walsh haa gone to Europe, far from the challenges flung at her since the night the virtually unknown 17-year-old high school beat her at St Louls In record-rqusllng time of 0.6 for the AO-meter Indoor sprint rnd innocently Inquired: "Who's Stella Walsh?" Miss Walsh called Miss Stephen' a "greenle" and said she Jumped the gun. Stella Didn't Show Up. They were matched again In the Ozark district A. A. U. meet outdoors at St. Louis for an exhibition race, but Miss Wnlnh did not appear and the Ozark association sought to have her barred from future A. A. U. com petition. Miss Strphens celebrated Stella's absence by equaling the 11.8 seconds world record for 100 meters. A wek later, In Kansas City, she beat that mark by two-fifths of a second. The Fulton girl plans to enter the women's national championships lat er this summer and will appear In an exhibition at the Tuberculosis Day baseball gnme In St. Louis July 10. Coach W. B. Moore of Fulton high school nald she would run In other meets If given the opportunity. Otherwise Helen may have to re turn to the simple tak of bea'lng the local high school boys. She is bigger than most cf them. 0 feet 11 Inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. Ilrata Three World Marks. Since she was discovered by Conch Moore Miss Strphens has beaten three world records, tied two others and beaten three American marks at distances from AO yards to the fur long. Coach Moore says her 100-meter mark of 11. fl two-tenths under Miss Walsh's recognized world record and Helen's best time of 34 4 In the 200 meter, beating the American record of 30. 1 but three-tenths slower than the world standard, probably will be accepted. The others were not made In the presence of A. A. U officials and thus wll not become offlrlal. When she ran the record 100- meter race at Kansas City in June all five dockers caught the time at 11.9. In addition to running, she has taken up the .11 so us. shot put and broad Jump.

SATIRPW AMI M'MiAY OM.V Quart BEER Bohemian Club on draught 5 BY SCIENTISTS Once Bristling Outposts of Spanish Civilization Now Jumble of Weed-Choked Ruins in Lower California By HENRvTlTER United Presa staff Correspondent BERKELEY. Cal. (UP) a com plete chain ot old. forgotten Spanish missions, swallowed up by the desert generations ago. haa been rediscover ed by the University of California. The missions once were bristling and bus'llng outooata of Spanish civ. lltutlon and defense in the New World. Today nothing remalna but a lum. ble of week-choked ruins In Lower California. The Dominican rrlara reared the missions along the coastal wastes of Lower California at the same time that the Franciscan monks were con itructlng their chain along what Is now the coaat of the state of r.n. fornla. Lost Link niM'overed. The Lower California group, un earthed by a University of California graduate student, once linked the Franciscan chain to the north, and the Jesuit chain to the south In one unbroken chain that extended for more than 1.200 miles through the two Callfornlas. Peverll Meigs, graduate of the h. of 1B2S. lived among a tribe of In dians for some time and spent sev eral, years exploring the region be fore completing his work ol record ing and relocation. He haa detailed the hlatory of the old Dominican "Prontera" In a book recently published. I Seven Original Missions. I rne original missions in the old chain numbered seven and covered an expanse of some 200 miles. Three er removed to new sites because of failure of the water supply and pes tilence. Desconso. next to the last mission built In the chain. 4a less rh.n miles from San Diego. The others e Ei Kosano, the soutliermost mis sion. Santa Domingo. San Vicente, San Miguel, Santo Tomas and Ouada lope. In addition, two mire missions, San Pedro Martir and Santa Catallna were reared In the hinterland east of thla original chain In the attempt to eatablish a new chain reaching to the Colorado river. But this attempt waa abandoned because of the Indian attacka and sterile character of the land. Garrisoned by Spanish. Certain of the missions were given garrisons of Spanish troops, and were evidently Intended, along with the rranclscan Missions, to form a far flung line of defense for the Spanish occupancy of the Callfornlas. But. because of declining population, pes tllenct. revolution and robbery, the Dominican Missions enjoyed a life of only 60 years. Epidemic swept through as many ae four missions at a time. Maraud ing bands, bound for the gold field.-, of the north, robbed them of their treasure. All of had been sold it granted to private Individuals be fore 1859. They have long since become one of the dead spots in history, although they have played a heroic part In he annals of the Mrxlcan nation. TO W. P.
