Birmingnam, Ala. (U.PJ An
all male jury today deliberated
the fate of a former deputy sher
iff charged with murdering
crime crusader Albert Patterson
to protect a sin syndicate at
Phenix City.
The jury resumed delibera
tions after recessing at 10:01
p.m. Thursday. Then, at the end
of two hours and 26 minutes de
liberation, there was no indica
tion they were approaching a
verdict.
Albert Fuller, the accused
man, was charged with firing
the fatal shots into Patterson
last June 18, shortly after Pat
terson was nominated for state
attorney general on a pledge to
banish ice and corruption from
the wide open town of Phenix
City,
The murder touched off the
biggest war on crime in Alabama
history- The city was taken un
der control by the National
Guard under orders of the gov
ernor and returned to home rule
only last Jan. 1
Special Judge J. Russell McEl-
roy told the jury it could return
five possible verdicts, including
a first degree murder conviction
carrying a death sentence
Other possible verdicts were:

Prosecution Demands 'Chair'
The trial ended Thursday after
two and one-half weeks of sharp
ly conflicting testimony
Chief Prosecutor Cecil Deason
asked that the jury "send Fuller
to the electric chair as he sent
Albert Patterson to his death."
in oods name, ' countered
Roderick Beddow, silver haired
defense lawyer, "don't punish an
innocent man" on the basis of
fantastic testimony that is all
conjecture, surmise, inference
and presumption." .
The prosecution case, opposed
by Fuller's half-dozen alibi wit
nesses, was based mainly on the
sworn testimony of a taxi driver,
a convict and a construction
worker that they saw Fuller near
wnere .rauerson was shot to
death.
San Irancisco U.R) Munici
pal Judge Clayton W. Horn had
to decide today what to do about
Tina Dutton, who asked strange
men for money to support her
boy friend, her ex-husband, her
mother, her three children and
herself.
Judge Horn ordered the 21
year-old blonde . to ; return to
court today to be sentenced for
begging. She was convicted yes
terday after a brief trial in
which she acted as her own
lawyer
Tina faced a maximum of six
months in jail and a $500 fine
The principal prosecution wit
ness, patrolman Ray Wilson, tes
tified he arrested Tina last Sun
day while she was begging on
downtown streets.
Left $15,000 Horn Daily
Tina took the stand and told
how she left her S15.000 home
every day to go begging. She
said she earned about S25 a
week by telling men, "I lost my
purse and need money to get
home on
With downcast eyes, she as
serted. "I didn't take up with
men, though."
"My ex-husband is temporari
ly not paying me support," she
testified. "My boy friend is tem
porarily unemployed. I knew I
was doing wrong, but I'm not
ashamed of it."
She called as character wit
nesses . the boy friend, Charles
Dutton, her former husband,
John Streb: and her mother,
Mrs. Mildred Hunnell. They all
live with Tina, along with her
children aged 2, 4, and 5.
"They ought to know me," she
said. "My ex -husband I've
known him seven years. My boy
friend I've been with 15
months. And my mother she's
known me all my life.
Croti-Examination
Dutton, who said he was a
steelworker by trade, was asked.
"Have I ever run around on
you?
"I know you haven t, he re
plied. "I've been, with you all
the time." . '
She asked Streb, "Can you
tell the court anything against
me:
"You been a pretty good
mother but you don't give them
(the children) the loving they
need," he answered.
She asked her mother, "Can
you say I don't go to hotel rooms
in order to get money?"
"You don't go to hotel rooms,"
Mrs. Hunnell replied. "I know
because you always come home
with very small sums of money."
The prosecution interrupted
the defense at one point to get
in the record that Tina had a
shop lifting arrest in 1952.
At the end of the testimony,
Judge Horn asked Tina if she
wanted to.be sentenced then, or
wait until today.
"I think I'll wait," she said,
drawing her muskrat coat
around her. "I'm too nervous
now."
Shell Oil Company
Named in Complaint
Portland (U.R) The Oregon
Gasoline Dealers Association
yesterday filed a complaint in
Federal Court against the Shell
Oil Company's practice of grant
ing "C-station" agreements.
The complaint charges the
agreements are an attempt to
fix retail prices. It asks the
court to void the agreements.
Art Moran, owner of Art's
Shell Service Station at Mar
cola, near Eugene, is listed as
a plaintiff along with the asso
ciation. He asks $18,000 for
alleged damages as result of
the so-called "C-station" agree
ments.
Moran said Shell Oil Com
pany has sold gasoline through
its C-type stations in Eugene
and Springfield, which are in
competition to him, at a retail
price lower than the wholesale
price he paid to Shell for the
same products.

UN Trusteeship.
For Formosa, Free
Elections Talked
Washington (U.R) A group
of freshman Democrats in the
House are drafting a declaration
calling for a new and drastical
ly different approach to U. S.
foreign policy, it was learned
today.
Informed sources said a Uni
ted Nations trusteeship for For
mosa and "free elections" to de
termine who shall rule the Na
tionalist-held islands are among
proposals being considered for
inclusion in the declaration.
The chief sponsor, they added,
is Rep. Henry S. Reuss (D-Wis.)
They said freshman Democrats
supporting the idea feel it is
time for Democrats to speak out
on their own ideas for a long
range anti-war foreign policy.
Causes Heated Discussion
The contemplated declaration
already has caused heated dis
cussions in the Democratic
cloakrooms. And some Demo
cratic freshmen have refused to
take any part in formation of
the statement.
It was understood these dis
senting freshmen legislators
have informed sponsors of the
planned statement that they be
lieve it would, wittingly or un
wittingly, undermine the effect
of the recently-approved resolu
tion calling for Formosa's de
fense. This resolution was passed
overwhelmingly in the House
with support of the Democratic
leadership.
But leading advocates of the
"declaration of foreign policy"
disputed this. They said the con
templated statement has nothing
whatever to do with supporting
the House Democratic leader
ship on foreign policy. They
said statement sponsors are in
complete sympathy with the
leaders.
Nothing Definite Yet
They also emphasized that
nothing has been decided defi
nitely. There have been many
suggestions on point that could
be included in the declaration,
but even the form the declara
tion should take is still in doubt.
The sources said the draft
proposed that Mr. Eisenhower,
with the approval of some 30
Asian and African nations
the large world powers are not
included inform the world that
the United States is ready to:
1. Agree to a. U.N. trusteeship
over Formosa, with elections
deciding the island's rulers.
2. Agree to work through the
U.N. against colonialism and for
the economic improvement of
under-developed nations.
3. Work in the U.N. to push
Russia back to her 1939 boun
daries and to create a U.N.-pro-tected
federation of independent
nations out of her present
satellites in Central Europe.
Nuclear Explosion
Cancelled by Weather
Las Vegas, Nev. U.R) The
Atomic Energy commission can
celled a nuclear explosion sche
duled for today and called a
weather briefing to determine if
a small shot can be fired Satur
day.
Unfavorable weather has held
up the fifth shot of the 1955
atomic test series since Tuesday,
forcing the AEC to plan an al
ternative blast of a smaller and
less critical nature for Saturday.
The explosion will be touched
off atop a 300-foot tower at the
Yucca Flat test site, as were the
second and third shots of the
series.. The first was a small air
drop, while the fourth was a
"granddaddy" explosion which
was set off Monday on a 500-

Traders appeared unwilling to

over the week end on fears
margins might be raised in line
with many suggestions that such
course be adopted.
