Walla Walla, Wash. (U.R
A "truth serum" test which en

wounded in the shouldtT and ab
domen and her husband. Marion,
a tavern operator, dying o' a
shot-gun wound.
Mrs. Sill told officers she had
shot her husband and then tried
to lake her own life.
She was tried, convicted and
sentenced to Jint more than 20
years in the state penitentiary
here. Her minimum term was set
at five years.
Her attorney, David " Weyer,
remained convinced ' of her in

MacDonald, Portland, a ballis
tics expert, to investigate.
MacDonald, after two months
of tests, said he was convinced
the woman was innocent. Tests
proved, he said,' Mrs. Sill could
not have inflicted the two
wounds on herself.
Last July 19, Dr. G. Charles
Sutch, consulting psychiatrist at
the prison, administered the
truth serum, sodium amytal,
and took Mrs. Sill back more
than two years to the night of
the shooting.
Emotionless, she told of going
into her bedroom, removing her
hat and gloves and coming out.
Then her voice became choked
with fear.
"What happened then?" Sutch
asked.
"He was standing there in the
doorway," she sobbed. "He had
a gun."
Golfer To Stick
To Golf Advice
Eugene U.R) Bob PralL the
University of Oregon golfer
from Salem, vowed today he'd
confine advice giving to golfing.
Prall told members of the
freshman girls rally squad last
week that it was a tradition for
frosh coeds to protest against
staid homecoming rules.
The girls more than took him
at his word. Some 400 of them
stormed the Student Union
building where the football
team was about to eat a steak
dinner. The football players
were smeared with non-kissed
lipstick and so was Prall when
he tried to stop the girls.
"I had no idea the thing would
turn out so big," he said.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Golda P.
Wickham, associate director of
student affairs, said the girls
taking part in the uprising
would have to pay for damages
to the Student Union dining
room and to two fraternity
houses which also were attacked.

Mrs. Sill said her husband fir
ed at her and hit her in the
shoulder. She ran to the front
window to call for help but the
street below was deserted. Then
she said. Sill fired again and the
shot tore through her linen jack
et and into the stomach flesh.
She said she ran across the
room, then felt a blow on the
back of her head. Her next rec
ollection was, looking up at her
husband from the floor. Sill was
standing over her. the butt of
the gun resting on the floor.
"I said, 'don't shoot me again!'
Then I grabbed the bottom of
the gun. I shot him. I hit him. 1
didn't mean to. I wanted to get
away. I was scared. He was
crazy."
Monday, a pardon request
signed by Weyer, Superior
Court Judge Frank D. James,
who. sentenced Mrs. Sill, and
Prof. Norman S. Hayner, form
er chairman of the Parole Board
was forwarded to Gov. Arthur
B. Langlie.
Langlie said he would sign
the pardon if the request "is in
order."
"I'm certainly in sympathy
with anything that will free an
innocent person," Langlie said.
Two psychiatric reports made
prior to the trial agreed Mrs.
Sill suffered from amnesia and
possessed a complex guilt feel
ing so deep seated she would de
liberately seek punishment for
an act she did not commit "even
to the point of signing an untrue
confession."
