PUT
' BATTLE
A "badger-dog fight" waa ataged by
reaerve officers of this area laat night
at Capt. Vera B. Marshall', box ahop
on Stewart avenue. None of the offl
cera today, however, would admit the
"fight" had been held.
Offlcera tried atrenuoualy to keep
newa of the "badger" fray a deep
aecret among themselves but word
leaked out somehow yesterday and a
complaint waa registered with the
atate police against not only the
"fight" but the gambling that waa to
accompany It.
State troopera went out last night
to Investigate but when they were
informed It was simply an old army
custom they withdrew, thoroughly
satisfied without knowing what was
going on behind closed doors.
Your correspondent, being tipped
off and ever eager to record the newa,
disguised himself as a colonel of the
army tank corps" to get a ring-aide
seat so that he might give a blte-by-blte
account of the proceedings but a
flock of sentries saw through the
make-up and chased him off at tho
point ol bayonets. '
It was learned today, however, that
when all the wageTa were put In a
10-gallon hat, an enterprising officer
confiscated the money and used It In
defraying the expenses of the eve
ning. What was left over was put In
the treasury of the local reserve unit,
protests being quieted by a threat
to expose the whole orgy.
While your correspondent was run
off the premises without seeing
either the "badger" or the "dog" he
did succeed in picking up
paper that proved to contain the
names of the "fight" officials. It
believed that ope of the offlcera acci
dentally dropped the typewritten
sheet of paper. It disclosed the offl
clals to be:
Major George R. Owens, referee.
Malor C. S. Pettee of Eugene, execu
tive; Capt. B. W. Oruhn ahd Capt.
Stephen Nye. Judges: Capt. Marion C.
Wright, weigher: Capt 0. L. P erce,
handlcapper: Capt. Lyl. Wlcac.
timer: Lieut. Harold Wooda and
Lieut. T. P. Coatee, bookmakers.
Lieut. Fred W. Greene, provoat mar
shal, and Capt. Carl Y. ngwald,
assistant; Capt. Albert T, Anderson,
SSog handled and Capt. William C.
Ryan, "badger
It was learned on bwu --
today that Lieut. William B. C legg
had been named as "dog handler
and Lieut. Harry May, Jr., as badger
handler" but they got Into some kind
of Jam and were disqualified.
It was also learned on fairly reli
able authority that the event was
successful that It la to be made an
annual diversion here. It waa further
ascertained with some degree of re
liability that seveal "badger-dog
fights" have been held by reserve of
ficers in other parts of the state and
that thus far they have got away
with it. . .

fiT. LOUIfl. (UP) An organization
known as the "Blood Donors' Benevo
lent Society of St. Louis" was estab
lished here & few yeara ago nd to
day claims a membership of 70.
W. R. Goodman conceived the idea,
and now at any hour of tho day or
night, men or women of this volun
tary bend will rush to a hospital to
aid some patient.
Goodman tells this story of the
group's founding:
"I used to take my Sunday school
class to the City hospital to visit
patient who might be lonely. Soon
the doctors got to know us, and once
or twice asked us If we would give
blood for some patient who couldn't
afford to pay for a tranflfaston.
"So I thought It would take lees
running around if I got a list ready
of people who would give their blood
free. I talked to one of the doctors
and he said he didn't think I could
do It, but If I could get the people
he'd be glad to test them, and class
ify their blood."
Goodman enlisted 35 friends. A to
tal of 109 transfusions have been
made by members, and in AO percent
of the cases the patient has left the
hospital well.
Fred Boleom In Mrs. Plleder't room,
Mrs. Paulos tastified:
"Hall took Mr. Bolcom into the
bedroom by the arm and led him.
He had a gun In his hand.
"He left the door part open. I saw
him raise hla hand m though to
strike something. There wasn't any
outcry. Then I heard a thud."

BIRTHS

Its underground chambers, stand on
a high mound southeast of Kazerun,
Persia.
of ber as a state's witness, tried to
inject the W. Frank Akin killing In
Portland November 20. 1933.
He asked her if she knew Jack
Justice, held in Portland for the
grand Jury as a suspect in assaulting
Akin with a deadly weapon March
30, 1933.
Afraid of Hall
She answered ahe did and that
she was afraid of him. She said. In
response to a question, she feared
Hall, also. Her answer that she was
afraid of both men because of her
knowledge of the Akin killing
brought a sharp objection from Butts
which Superior Judge H. O. Sutton
sustained. He ordered her testimony
referring to the Akin case stricken
from the record.
Butts raised the Issue again during
his cross-examination wltti:
"By the way. when was Akin killed
In Portland I"
"November, 1833," she answered
first and then corrected the year to
1933.
"Who told you that?" Butts de
manded. "Leo did," Mrs. Paulos answered
readily.
Butts dropped this Una of ques
tioning. Tells of Murders
In the role of accuser and accused
she took the witness stand last night
and told the jury that Leo Hall, 33,
her co-defendant on first degree
murder charges, killed six persons In
the Frank Flieavr home, near Brem
erton, on the night of March 28, 1934
For two houra she testified for the
state, relating her story of the sex
tuple slaylngs, a story on which the
state relies in its attempt to send
Hall to the gallows.
The state la demanding the death
penalty for Hall, former Seattle ath
lete, but not for Mrs. paulos.
Spectators were tense as the slen
der, brown-eyed witness told her
story, bit by bit. at the insistence
of special prosecutor, Ray R. Greenwood.
She was composed as she was
sworn In but after testifying for a
few minutes she became nervous,
started sobbing.
Mrs. Paulos said she accompanied
Hall from Seattle to the Flleder home
and that Hall killed Mr. and Mrs.
Flleder and four of their guesta dur
ing a robbery.
Couldn't Keep Secret
Asked why she confessed mora than
a year after the ghastly crime, the
witness said:
"I couldn't keep it any longer. He'd
(Hall) threatened me and I knew
he'd kill me if X didn't do some
thing." She said she left Seattle in the
summer of 1934 after the slaying be
cause Hall warned her to leave and
told her "he'd kill me if I talked."
"Did Hall evey discuss with you
the chances of getting caught?"
Greenwood Inquired.
"Yes," the witness answered, "but
he said he didn't think there was
much danger that he thought he
had wiped off every clue."
Questioned about her flight from
the Flleder home, Mrs. Paulos be
came befuddled. First she said she
opened a sun room door. Then ahe
said, "I know I got the kitchen door
open. He shot at me as I was leav
ing." She said ahe didn't know how
many shots were fired at her.
Tried To Escape
She testified she tried to escape
from Hall aftr ahe left Seattle with
him on the afternoon of March 38.
"Who went into the house first,"
Greenwood asked.
"We were both practically together.
I refused to enter and he grabbed
me by the arm and shoved me
ahead."
