LOW IN PRICE Judge Overrules Autopsy Request Portland (U.R) Circuit Judge James W. Crawford Friday de nied a defense motion to require the state to provide an autopsy report on Diane Hank, 16-year-old Portland girl who died mys teriously last year. After the ruling, Wey Him Fong and his wife, Sherry, en tered innocent pleas to first de gree murder charges brought in connection with the girl's death. The Fongs had pleaded inno cent earlier, but had withdrawn the pleas in order that Defense Attorney Irving Goodman could enter his demurrer to the indict ment. The demurrer was recent ly overruled. Judge Crawford ruled that the district attorney's office had con trol of the autopsy report and that the document also was not of such a nature it could be de manded by the defendants. Trial of the Fongs is sched uled for April 11. for the Columbia Basin News, said Jackson evidently thought he could reach young Peterson without firing on him. Jackson cornered the youth in an alley between two cabins in the east stide of town Friday evening shortly after the youth had wounded his father vid grandfather after being denied use of the family car. Jackson died on the operating table at Our Lady of Lourdes hospital less than an hour after the shooting. . Police said the boy had been drinking vodka and became en raged when his father told him he could not use the family car. Officers said Peterson first shot his grandfather at the trailer camp he operated, then fired at his father who was about a half block from the camp. At the hospital, Peterson's father, shot three times with a .30-.30 caliber deer rifle, asked "Did you get the boy? Did you get the boy?" Told his son had been cap tured, Peterson said "good."
