Single admission 75c Actions Of Girl Alter Shooting 01 Father Described Bridgeport, Conn., Jan. 27 (U.R) Four horsemen of light pity, sympathy, love and mercy rode today with a slim, blonde girl in her battle against the slate of Connecticut. The girl was Carol Ann Paight. 21, who so loved her father that when he cried out in the pain of an incurable' cancer she sent him to what she considered a merciful death with one shot from his revolver. Face Sickly While Three state witnesses testified in her murder trial yesterday that just after the shooting they saw her leaning against a hos pital corridor wall, her face a 3ickly white. But they said she was cool and calm. One witness, a doctor, said she talked "perfectly sanely." Another, a detective, said she told him that before the shoot ing she went deliberately into the woods near the hospital and fired a practice shot with her po liceman father's .38 service re volver "so I would know what I was doing." The defense pleaded tempo rary insanity, saying she was driven out of her mind for a time by grief and pity and love. But Detective Capt. William J. Lynch of Stamford, Conn., tes tified that at 8:30 p. m. last September 23, 2 hours and 40 minutes after she had put a bul let through the brain of Police Sgt. Carl W. Paight, 52, Carol told him rationally why she had acted. Malice Charged "She said she had shot her father and she didn't care what people thought or what they did to her but she wouldn't see him suffer," Lynch said. The state charges Carol act ed deliberately, "with malice aforethought." Because that is a crime against the state, she is charged with murder in the sec ond degree. If found guilty, she will be sentenced automatically to life imprisonment.

DANCE SATURDAY NIGHT JANUARY 28 Provoll Grange Music By Flood's Roundup Gang E N T E R T A I N M E N T NEXT WEEK Friday, January 27, 1950 Robinson Opposes CVA; Lesseg To Head Young GOP 'Warren G. Lesseg, Medford at torney, was elected president of the Jackson County Young Re publican club at the club's an nual meeting last night at Valen tine's cafe. He succeeds Paul Havlland and will serve for two years. Haviland was named a director. Fred E. Robinson, Medford, re publican candidate for United States senator, addressed the group and answered questions. He favored development of the Columbia river basin but not by a "dictator" program. Opposas CVA He indicated the opinion that the present Columbia Valley authority proposal is that type of program, and added that he feared CVA as a tool to break up prlvato enterprise. "We don't want to set up a political regime," he declared, adding that the people through their representatives may be unable to get the power back once it is delegated to the proposed three man board., Regarding fair employment practices legislation, Robinson stated that he felt there should be no discrimination in employ ment as to race, color, creed.
