. MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE nVI o Thursday, January 30, 1958 -zfcnmrui v Tols Found Living In Wire Cages in Trailer at Yakima Yakima, Wash. W Three small children who lived "like frightened animals" in wire cages built in the back of a trailer have been turned over to Yakima County authorities. Officials said the two boys, 5 and 2, and a 3-year-old girl, apparently were kept in the wire cages most of the day In addition to being forced to sleep in them. Being held at the county Jail for investigation in the case were William B. Han kins, 49, and Ruth J. Mott, 38. Incident Reported Deputy Sheriff Jack Run yan said he investigated the 12 by 14 trailer mounted on a truck chassis near Sunny ;de. Wash., Saturday after a salesman reported the chil dren were caged up in the trailer. " Runyan reported he ar rived at the trailer about 10:30 a.m. and found Hankins till in bed. He said two of tha children were still locked up in the cages which he said resembled animal cages. "They looked like fright ened animals," he said. Runyan reported the three . cages were built over a bed at one end of the trailer. He . said the cages were small and the older boy did not have . enough room to stretch out inside the cage. All five members of the . family lived in the trailer. - Traveled Widely Officers said the Mott wom . an admitted the couple had been living as man and wife for the past eight year3. She . said in that time they had traveled all over the United . States. She told authorities she had " been married at the age of 16 in Detroit and had eight chil- dren . by the marriage. She ' said she began living with Hankins in March of 1950. She protested she did not . want to lose the children when told they had been turned over to county authori- - ties. New England Gels More Snow By UNITED PRESS Snow-laden New England received more new snow early today, but the storm center was moving out to sea. The Weather Bureau said . general snowfall in the area ' was expected to stop late to day as a local disturbance continued its northeastward movement across Maine. A six-hour deposit of two Inches of snow at Burlington, " Vt., brought the total snow depth to 19 inches, while an extra four inches of snow at Rumford, Me., piled up snow depths well over the two-foot mark. Vestiges of the heavy rains which swept across the Gulf Coast Wednesday fell on the Carolinas during the night, and there was general rain fall in the far Northwest. Rain also fell in light amounts In Missouri. Other than some cooling in the Northwest and slight warming in parts of the Da kotas, there was little temper ature change around the coun try. Near the Canadian border in North Dakota, tempera . tures were about 10 degrees above zero, the lowest in the nation. Cohen Discusses Film Biography Chicago (IP One-time hoodlum Mickey Cohen, faced with charges of slugging a Hollywood waiter, today sat down with writer Ben Hecht and his attorneys to discuss his film biography. Six squads of detectives, apparently unimpressed with the news Cohen is destined for celluloid immortality, were waiting for the ex-mobster Wednesday night when his plane landed at Midway Airport. He was taken to Central Police Headquarters and ques tioned for an hour, then re leased. Chief of Detectives Patrick Deeley did not say if the pick-up order had any thing to do with charges brought against Cohen by Hollywood night spot waiter Arthur M. Black, 30. Black filed charges saying that Cohen punched him in the mouth during a party celebrating the opening of the Sammy Davis Jr. show at a Hollywood night club. Police said Cohen disdained a police offer of a bodyguard, saying "nothing is going to happen to me. As soon as I finish my business, I'm leav ing town." A traffic death occurs in the U. S. about every 16 min ute around the dock. This week we're starting our THIRD YEAR in our new big store at Stewart Avenue and Kings Highway.
