Ask Price Increase
For Cremation Cases
Portland (U.R) Representa
tives of the Oregon Interment
Association have asked the
State Public Welfare commission
to hike the funeral alowance for
cremation cases.
The request asked that the
cremation allowance be increas
ed from $25 to $110, the pres
ent allowance for earth burial.
The commission took the request
under advisement.
Oliva Dionne, father of the 21-year-old
quints, said he was told
by telephone that Marie quiet
ly left the convent of the order
of the Servants of the Most Holy
Sacrament in Quebec City last
Wednesday.
Confirmed by Convent
A source at the convent, one
of the strictest in the Roman
Catholic church, confirmed Ma
rie had left but would not com
ment further. An informant
close to the Dionne family said
Marie had gone to L'hopital No
tre Dame de L'esperance in Vil
le St. Laurent, near Montreal.
There was no official -confir
mation from the hospital, but
Marie was known to have been
seen there Friday.
Marie was the most deeply af
fected member of the Dionne
family when Emilie died Aug.
6, 1954, during an epileptic seiz
ure. It was only after a year at
school and in seclusion with her
family that Marie felt able to
take up again the rigid life of a
novice in a nunnery.
When Marie first entered the
convent on Nov. 3, 1953, she said
that "since my childhood I have
nourished the desire of enter
ing a religious order."
Her father said that "spirit
ual values have always been her
main preoccupation."
Frailest of Quints
Marie was the frailest of the
quints at birth and for many
days her life hung in the bal
ance. As a child she wore a
black eye patch to correct an
eye ailment and she is the only
one of the quints to. wear glasses.
Neither Cecile nor Yvonne
could be reached at the hospital.
They have avoided interviews
since they began their training
two years ago, and the hospital's
policy is to protect their pri
vacy. .
Papa Dionne said he did not
know what Marie's plans were.
He indicated he had not heard
from her directly about her de
parture from the convent.
GrahamUsedSimple
Timing Device Says
Denver Newspaper
Denver (U.R) John Gilbert
Graham allegedly used a com
mon kitchen timing device pur
chased in Denver to set off the
bomb that sent 44 persons, in
cluding his own mother, to death
in the flaming crash of a United
Air Lines DC6B near Longmont,
Colo.
The Rocky Mountain News, a
Scripps-Howard nevspaper, said
Saturday it had learned Graham
purchased the timing device
from the Ryall Electric Supply
company here two weeks before
the airliner crashed Nov. 1.
Morris Bergerhouse, manager
of the supply company, would
neither confirm nor deny the
story. But he said he had iden
tified a photograph of Graham
for the FBI.
Poses as Employee
In an exclusive interview with
Joseph T. Grande, the salesman
who sold Graham the 60-minute
timer, Denver radio station KI
MN disclosed that Graham had
posed as an employee of the
"Colorado Texas Pump Co.
Grande said Graham told him
he wanted the timer for use on
a six-volt pumping circuit. Gra
ham specified an on-timer rather
than a clock that turned ap
pliances off, Gande said.
Still a mystery was where Gra
ham purchased the 25 sticks of
dynamite, a battery, eight feet of
wire and two dynamite caps he
allegedly used to fashion the
time bomb.
Th e 23-year-old suspect mean
while steadfastly denied the
murder-for-insurance of his 54-year-old
mother and said the
FBI forced him to admit the
charge by prolonged questioning
and threats against his wife.
Dozen Witnesses
Testify in Murder
Trial of Sherry
Portland (U.R) A dozen
witnesses testified Friday in the
first degree murder trial of
Sherry Fong, as the defense
made four new motions for a
mistrial.
Circuit Judge Alfred P. Dob
son deferred ruling on the new
motions, and Defense Attorney
Irvin Goodman's running objec
tions, which were based on "pre
judicial" testimony.
All of Friday's witnesses were
connected with law enforcement,
leading to speculation that the
state intended to link the slaying
of 16-year-old Diane Hank to a
narcotics ring.
Howard Lonergan, chief prose
cutor in the trial, told the jury
of six men and six women in his
opening statement that "the mo
tive for this killing lies in the
narcotics trade."
Rebuked from Bench
However, Judge Dobson, who
declared a mistrial earlier this
month in the state's second at
tempt to convict Sherry, re
buked Lonergan from the bench
and the prosecutor did not elaborate.
Lonergan said that while
Diane apparently died from bar
biturates and alcohol in a poison
ous combination, she could pos
sibly have been smothered.
Robert Wayne Richards, one
time sheriff's deputy and bar
tender, said Sherry told him a
narcotics syndicate wanted "to
get rid of" Diane because the
girl was talking too much. He
said Sherry told him she wanted
to save the high school student,
and offered $125,000 "to get the
syndicate off Diane's neck."
Richards said Sherry claimed
to be the head of a narcotics
trade that covered the Northwest
as far south as Eureka, Calif.,
with 26 outlets.
Sherry and her husband, Wey
Him Fong, were convicted of the
1954 slaying several months ago,
but Judge Dobson overruled the
conviction on technical grounds.
