Texas ranger was called back

The bride, Mrs. Violet Canales
Worden, was expected .to appear

killing to the jury. Earlier she
voluntarily took a lie detector

the killing has been called "fan
tastic" by the dead man's son,
sat heavily veiled at the court
house throughout the day yes

Portland (U.R) A judge re

trict Attorney William Langley
here yesterday in the murder
trial that represents the state's
third attempt to convict Sherry
Fong of the murder of Portland
teen-ager Diane Hank.
Circuit Judge Alfred P. Dob
son flatly refused to permit coun

fore the jury in the courtroom
and to save the trouble of hav'
ing the jurors file in and out, he
has repeatedly summoned state's
attorneys and defense counsel to
his chambers to hear arguments
there. About one-third of the
week-long trial thus far has been
held in Judge Dobson's chanv
bers but he said he resented re
marks that the trial iwas being
turned into a chamber session
He pointed out that newsmen
have been admitted to all the
discussions closed to the jury.
Langley told the court yester
day, "any attempt we have to
make will be made in the court
room."
Judge Dobson said "this is the
first time in my 18 years on the
honrh tlio Vine hoon
I accused of restricting the prose-
He added, ""When I've ruled,

Food Prices Lower
During Past Month
San Francisco (U.R) The Bu
reau of Labor Statistics report
ed today that food prices were
lower in October than in Septem
ber in San Francisco and Se
attle but had risen in the same
period in Los Angeles.
In Portland, a 0.2 per cent
rise in average retail food prices
in October as compared with
July was recorded. '
In San Francisco, lower meat
prices in October drove the aver
age retail level of food prices
0.3 per cent below that of
September, the decrease also
pulling the average 0.9 per cent
below that of October a year ago.
Meat, poultry and fish averaged
1.6 per cent cheaper than a
month earlier.
In Seattle, the average prices
on foods purchased by moderate
income families also dipped 0.3
per cent from September levels
because of small declines in all
of the major foods except fruits
and vegetables.
Food prices in Los Angeles,
meanwhile, averaged 0.3 per
cent higher than in September,
largely because of higher prices
for bacon, coffee and eggs.

which gave hunting and trap
ping rights to the Indians along
with reservation land.

The 3 0-year-old"" "Queen Mag

The arrest in front of . a near
North Side fruit stand ended one
of the strangest and most hard
pressed hunts in Chicago police
history.
"Queen Maggie" had gone on
a two-year crime spree follow
ing her release from serving a
year's term on a narcotic charge.
Police said she bossed one of
the city's slickest stickup gangs,
often standing on the sidelines
during robberies to shout orders
to her male followers.
Maggie's alleged crimes in
cluded a staggering string of
robberies and burglaries, includ
ing a $3000 currency exchange
stickup and a $100,000 jewelry
store robbery. She was also
wanted in connection with at
least one murder and two bank
robberies and was suspected of
being a major heroin "pusher."
