Murder Trial Today
State Rests Case
Late This Morning
Portions cf tape recordings
made in Alturas, Calif., May 3
were to be played at 1:30 p.m.
today by defense attorneys in
I1-!; first degree murder trial of
Ijilly Junior Nunn. 2R-year-old
Klamath Fails millworkcr.
charged with the sex-slaving of
Aivin Eacrct. 14. Klamath Falls.
The recordings arc of conver
sations between the defendant
and investigating officers the
day following Nuims arrest in
Alturas. They were turned over
lo Nunn s court-appointed attor
ney. Sam Harbison, Monday
afternoon by District Attorney
Waiter Xiinlry, who said they
would be inadmissabic as state's
evidence.
The state rested its case at
10:45 a.m. today following testi
mony by Dr. James Lium. Port
land pathologist, and Manuel
Covi s. c: i rector of the stale crime
ox'ectirn laboratory at Portland.
Austin J. Murray, slate police
olticer. also testified this morn
ing thai he had taken several
photographs at the scene of the
crime and had taken color pic
tures at Dr. Lium's request dur
ing the autopsy.

testimony as to cause of death.
Harbison objected to showing
of the photographs, claiming
Ihev were being introduced to
inject prejudice in the case
through their grursomc nature.
The jury was taken out of the
courtroom for a few minutes
while the matter was being de
cided. Judge H. K. lianna ruled
three of the pictures could be
shown.
The pathologist said he took
"smears" from three parts of
the victim s body and sent them
to Eoyes at the crime detection
laboratory . Boyes said laboratory
findings concluded the Eacret
boy had been sexually assaulted
before being strangled.
Stales witnesses at Tuesday
afternoon's session were A. F.
Worth ington of Sweet Home,
who found Alvin's jacket 22.3
miles east of Tub Springs about
73 feet from the highway: Dcl
bert Summers. Klamath county
deputy sheriff, who returned
with Worthington to t he location
of the jacket: and Glen Wright.
Jackson county deputy sheriff,
who testified he yvas unable to
locate one of the states wit
nesses. Art Hill, a local barber.
Earlier testimony indicated
Nunn borrowed money from Hill
in Medford to purchase gas for
his return to Klamath Falls on
the day of the murder. April 19.
Wright said Hill is currently in
Eureka. Calif., and is out of the
jurisdiction of this court.
The tape recordings are ex
pected to be the only evidence
the defense will present during
the trial.
Harbison said this morning
that Sunn's step-father, with
whom he has hren closely as
sociated most of his life, died
within the last few days at Santa
Cruz. Calif. N'unn's mother, yvho
has been at her husband's bed
side, is expected to arrive in
Medford before the trial is over.
To Be Below
bout thr same as last ypar: a big
decline in oats and barmy and
a smaller decline in sorghum
crops: and a smaller spring
wheat crop that would offset the
larger production of winter
wheat so that total wheat output
would be down about 2 per cent.
Decidious fruits production
was estimated to be about 5 per

Coffee Break Ruled
Beneficial To Boss
! Denver U.R; The U.S. 10th
Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
Tuesday that when an employee
takes a coffee break, he's doing
the boss a favor.
The appeals court reversed a
district court decision which had
held that Los Wigwam Weavers
Company in Denver did not have
to pay employees for the time
they spent on coffee breaks.
Coffee breaks "are beneficial
: to the employees'' and are
"equally beneficial to the cm
: plover in that they promote
more efficiency and result in a
! greater output." the appeals
court decision said.
I "This increased production is
one of the primary lactors. if not
i the prime factor, which leads the
employer to institute such break
i periods . . . We may well take
judicial knowledge of the fact
t . . . that coffee breaks . . . are
j rapidly becoming an accepted
; part of employment generally,"
! the court said.
