iLoses Composure
JDuring Testimony
: Redwood City, Calif. HP)
Suzanne Elaine Soule lost her
Icareful grip on her compos
ure Thursday when the moth
er of her slain roommate took
the stand in her murder trial.
-- Miss Soule, 20, a typist
from Freeport, N. Y., is ac-
cused of murdering Catherine
;Marie Elvins. 19, daughter of
; prominent Seattle physician,
-last July 24.
Miss Elvins' mother, Mrs.
C Naomi Elvins, took the stand
- to testify as a prosecution wit--ness.
She focused her gaze
upon Miss Soule so intently
5 that attorneys had to repeat
-questions for her. She re
ferred to Miss Soule only once
-by name. The rest of the time
;s!ie was "the defendant."
:Visit Described
" Mrs. Elvins told how she
;'and her husband. Dr. Richard
j-E. Elvins, came to California
"from Seattle last May to visit
-their daughter. At the time
Catherine was sharing an
'apartment in Burlingame with
Miss Soule. It was the same
-apartment In which she was
killed.
Mrs. Elvins said she, her
'husband and their daughter
" were planning to visit a rel
ative in San Francisco on that
. Tartipiila- Mnv rfav QVto -iA
' Catherine put on a new tweed
;suit for the occasion.
"The defendant salti, 'Oh, I
- have a blouse that would look
good with your suit.' Cather
ine said, 'I have lots of
blouses.' But the defendant
Insisted. f
"And while Catherine was
getting dressed, the defendant
wrapped a birthday package
that Catherine was going to
deliver to a cousin. She did
many things like that. . .'
Dabs at Eyes
When District Attorney
Keith Sorenson asked her the
circumstances in which she
identified her daughter's
body. Mrs. Elvins dabbed at
her eyes with a white hand
kerchief. The defense did not ask her
any questions.
When Mrs. Elvins left the
stand, tears formed in Miss
Soule's eyes and dripped down
her cheeks. A sheriff's matron
slipped her a handkerchief
and Superior Judge Frank B.
Blum called for a 10-minute
recess.
Earlier, Dr. Elvins testified
that his daughter and Miss
Soule enjoyed an apparently
"harmonious rela t i o n s h i p"
yrhen he saw them in May.
L He took a seat in the back
of the courtroom as Dr. John
E: Rosander, a pathologist
who performed the autopsy,
"began his testimony. He said
Miss Elvins suffered 31 head
wo u n d s believed inflicted
vith an electric iron and 20
stab wounds in the chest.

Girl Who Didn't
Like Presley
Clubbed With Bat
Redwood City, Calif. (
Carol Taylor, 15, Redwood
City, was in critical condi
tion at Sequoia Hospital here
today after being bludgeoned
with a baseball bat by a 15'
year-old boy in an argument
over Elvis Presley.
The boy, Cordie Lee Pen
dleton. gave himself up Thurs
day after running away "to
try to think things out.
Cordie and his brother,
Robert, 11, had been living
with the girl's family as fos
ter children. Mr. Taylor is ex
ecutive secretary of the San
Mateo County chapter of the
American Red Cross.
Fought All the Time
San Mateo county author
ities said Cordie told them
that he beat Carol up because
she didn't like Elvis Presley.
"We fought all the time,"
Cordie said. 'This time it was
about Elvis. She didn't like
him. She didn't think he was
any good."
He said he began hitting
Carol with the bat shortly
after she called Elvis "just a
stupid Okie." .
"She just thinks she's bet
ter than I am because she has
her real parents," Cordie said.
"Every time we have fights
she tries to run me off."
Going To Shoot Self
Cordie said he picked up a
25-20 rifle at a neighbor's
iome and walked away after
the beating. "I went up on
the hill and tried to think
things out," he said. "I wanted
to figure out what to do. I
was going to shoot myself."
Cordie said he then decided
to give himself up to the Hill-
crest Juvenile Hall.
Mrs. Taylor said her daugh
ter, and Cordie had often
quarreled "but it didn't ap
pear to be serious. The chil
dren didn't like each other
too well, but it was nothing
out of the ordinary."
Hospital authorities said the
beating had driven pieces of
bone into the girl's brain.

Death of Mice
In Spring Seen
Bend (IP) Donald A.
Spencer, U.S. Fish and Wild
life Service biologist, predict
ed Thursday that Oregon's
infestation of mice would die
off naturally early next
spring.
Spencer spoke here at a
five-county meeting to dis
cuss plans to meet the rodent
threat.
He said the huge mice
population was part of a cycle
phenomenon which occurs
about every four years. Good
summer weather in Oregon
resulted in an unusually large
number of mice, he said.
A special committee was
appointed to meet with the
State Emergency Board next
month to seek $84,000 to pur
chase poison and grain to kill
off mice colonies.
J. Ralph Beck, assistant di
rector of the Oregon State
college extension service, said
steps should be taken im
mediately to destroy the mice
if present crops were in dan
ger. He said that if the die-off
predicted for early spring is
not significant poison should
be spread before new crops
are planted.

The ex-Stanford athlete is

putts on the last 17 holes. He

He had one eagle plus six

Not only that, but Rosburg,

MORE ROOM THAN ANY FOREIGN SMALL CAR
AT A LOWER PRICE THAN MANY FOREIGN CARSI
It was inevitable that the distinctively new Rambler American should enter the American automo
tive scene in 1958.
For this is the one car that the modern American demands ... a car that combats rising operating
and maintenance costs by giving more miles per gallon of gasoline with lowest maintenance costs
... a car that is easier to park, garage and maneuver in traffic.
The chic Rambler American styling imparts an air of smart practicality that sets a new American
note. And the car's zestful get-up-and-go, quick-as-a-flash maneuverability and spacious roominess
put real fun back into motoring.
Your Rambler American will remain stylishly new for years to come. For it is conceived and built
to the principle that a sound design does not need yearly changes or embellishments, with re
sultant economies to the owner
