(AP) Pour-year old Barbara Irene Hop kins, who died Saturday night at Canyonvllle, came to ber death through "external violence commit ted by Leonard Hopkins, her father, or Cordelia Hopkins, her step-mother, or by both of them." a coroner'a Jury held In a verdict given at an Inquest conducted here last night. Both the father and atep-mother are held In the county Jail In lieu of 85,500 ball, being Jointly charged with Involuntary manslaughter. Statements of Dr. D. E. Faxon, who Joined with Dr. E. B. Stewart In conducting the post mortem ex amination of the child's body, ap parently formed the basla for the Jury's verdict. Reporting that death was due to a blood clot covering the right side of the brain, Dr. Faxon declared that the "hemorrhage was the direct re suit of external violence." He told of finding 62 bruises on the child's body and nine on the scalp, and said that from their col oration It was apparent they were caused within a period of from two to 48 hours preceding death. Corporal Paul Parsons of the state police and Sheriff Percy Webb told of questioning both Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins and aald that both had ad mitted whipping the child the day before her death. The officers, how ever, said that both parents denied unduly severe punishment. Neither the father nor the step mother were called to testify before the coroner'a Jury. rested one hand on the panel. She examined his face, feature by fea ture, as a, player studying a chew board. Abruptly, she turned away. Her attorney said something to her aa she returned to her chair. She whispered a hissing, unmistak able "yes." A moment later, she herself was on the stand, telling how she met and fell In love with "Billings" while she waa the common-law wife of an other man, and the mother of his children. Belief Unshaken Assistant U. 8. Attorney Jack Pow ell asked If she still believed Gable was Bllltngs. "I still feel convinced he Is one and the same man." "You couldn't possibly be mtstak en, could you?" "Not unless there Is a living double for him." By that time. Gable had left the court room, not to be recalled. Powell said he would close his cross exami nation today and the testimony would end. On trial with Mrs. Norton 1 Jack L. Smith, a private detective. Frank Keen, Canadian hotel man, has been charged In the Indictment with her. The government proved Gable has never been In England.

Many gas shells were fired nd some of the pickets grabbed the mis sies and threw them back at the highway patrolmen. About 75 special deputies massed Inside the strong wire fence, topped by barbed wire, when the gate was thrown wide open to permit entry of workers and trucks.

"If you agree to this truce you must leave theae premises and allow the field crops to come unmolested into these canneries.
