MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon
Mrs. Duncan
Denies Seeking
Slayer for Girl
Ventura, Calif. (UPD The
worst "crime" matronly Eli
zabeth Duncan would admit
today was refusing to cut the
apron strings that bound her
30-year-old son, Frank.
She denied she had bar
gained for the death of his
pregnant wife, Olga, mur
dered by Louis Moya, 22, and
Augustine Baldonado, 25, last
November.
They said the defendant of
fered them $6,000 to kill Olga,
but she said they were black
mailing her.
Following the completion of
direct examination today by
defense attonrey S. Ward Sul
livan, Mrs. Duncan faced a
session with prosecutor Roy
Gustafson.
Cross-Examination
The tall, calculating prose
cutor, an outspoken supporter
of an eye for an eye punish
ment, was expected to relent
lessly cross-examine the 54-year-old
matron.
In testimony so far in the
trial, Mrs. Duncan has been
sketched as a conniving, ob
sessively jealous mother who
"shopped" for killers to mur
der her daughter-in-law, a Canadian-born
nurse.
From more than a half doz
en persons, Gustafson drew
: testimony that Mrs. Duncan
had sought to hire someone to
kill Olga.
Taking the witness stand
Wednesday in the opening day
of her defense, she denied all
the stories, one by one.
As Sullivan went over the
testimony of 19-y ear-old Diane
Romero and her husband,
Ruby; Mrs. Emma Short, 84;
Ralph Wintestein, 26; Rebecca
Diaz; Esperanza Esquivel and
the confessed killers, Moya
and Baldonado, Mrs. Duncan
said:
"No, of course I didn't say
that. No, I didn't. No. No. No."
Admits Dislike for Victim
Mrs. Duncan admitted she
didn't like Olga, either as a
prospective daughter-in-law or
as her son's wife. She said she
once had Frank's car locked
up so the nurse couldn't drive
it.
"Did you resent Olga?" Sul
livan asked.
She broke into tears and
sobbed, "I just know I wanted
him home. I didn't resent her
so much. I just wanted him
home. I didn't object to her
having him. I just wanted him
home."
Earlier, she said she had
called Olga on the telephone
and objected to her associa
tion with Frank.
"I accused her of sleeping
with him at night," she said,
"and she admitted it."
Then, she said, she dis
approved of any woman who
would stay with men at night
when they were not married.
Truman Swings
At Newspapers,
Time Magazine
Columbia, Mo. - (UPD - For
mer President Harry S. Tru
man took healthy swings at
newspapers in general and
Time magazine in particular
Wednesday night.
, He spoke at a banquet
closing the three-day Press
Congress of the World at the
University of Missouri.
"I don't know what a free
press is - I have never seen
one," the former President
said. "I want to be a tele
graph editor or one of those
blue pencil men. Then
could get what I wanted in
the papers."
Earlier, Jose Dutriz, editor
of La Prensa Grafica of San
Salvador, sent a cable to the
congress accusing Time mag
azine of an "unethical atti
tude" in publishing material
which led to a riot in Bo
livia. .
Hem Regretted
Dutriz asked the congress
"to deliver an exposition of
those unethical practices of
journalism and condemn
Time's editors."
Henry R. Luce, editor-in-chief
of Time, . said he re
gretted that an item in his
publication had been the oc
casion for anti-American vio
lence and said the story was
a "factual analysis of Bolivia's
economic difficulties."
The congress took no ac
tion. But Truman remarked:
"What a nice thing it is to
have Mr. Clare Boothe Luce
in the grease in Bolivia. He
spent a lot of time trying to
put me in the grease but
never succeeded."
