! MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 24. 1939. PAGE FIVE KUHN TIL JUDGE CUTS FIVE COUNTS FROM INDICTMENT Action Leaves Bundsfuehrer Facing Charge of Mis appropriating Only $1217 New York, Nov. 24 Judge James G. Wallace today 'dismissed five counts in the 10 point indictment against Fritz Kuhn, German-American bund leader, on trial for grand larceny in the alleged theft of bund funds. The dismissal left Kuhn charged with the misappropria tion of only $1,217 instead of the $3,641 originally alleged. Judge Wallace made his rul ing after hearing legal argument in the absence of the Jury. Contradicted by Lady Earlier, blonde Mrs. Florence Camp, once described as "my golden angel" by Kuhn, appear ed as a rebuttal witness and con tradicted testimony given by the bund leader in his defense. Both sides rested shortly after she left the stand. At the conclusion of the intro duction of testimony Judge James G. Wallace announced he would hear motions this after noon and summations on Mon day. This would put the case in the hands of the jury either late Monday or Tuesday morning. The jury was dismissed until Monday. Mrs. Camp testified Kuhn urged her to divorce her hus- I band, Charles, and to bring her furniture to New York so they could use it after their marriage. Kuhn already was married and the father of two children. Missive Not Funny Handed a copy of Kuhn's initial love note, in which the bund leader vowed he was "terrible" in love with her, Mrs. Camp said she saw "no fun" in the missive. Kuhn had testified he wrote the billet doux "all in fun" on the night of a ship's party, aboard the S. S. Western land. She contradicted Kuhn's test imony she had given the bund official $565.76 in cash in re turn for Kuhn's financing the transportation of her furniture from Los Angeles to New York. Later, under questioning by the court, however, Mrs. Camp acknowledged she had given Kuhn $600 in three installments. Kuhn had thus accounted for part of the money which he is accused of stealing from the funds of his organization. The "golden angei" witness, smartly dressed in a black en semble with a bustle-backed dress, testified Kuhn gave her a ring in August, 1938. She iden tified the diamond, which Kuhn had testified was not the one he had bought. Never Aided Bund Mrs. Camp, whom Kuhn had described as a "patriotic lady" interested in supporting the bund, said she had never con tributed to the bund, had never become a member of the wo men's auxiliary and had never even sympathized with it. "I knew nothing about the bund," she said. Mrs. Camp was dismissed af ter only 45 minutes on the stand without more than skirting the romance that first inspired the bundesfuehrer to call her his "heaven-sent" and then fiz zled out with Kuhn's conclusion that she was "no lady." Kuhn looked relieved as she left the stand, brightening for the first time since the prose cution aired his series of lyric but ungrammatic notes to Mrs. Camp.
