Portland (LTD Albert M.

flurry of emotion that resulted

he cursed and threatened the
women bank tellers who had
testified at the trial.

to Circuit Judge Virgil Lang
try of Portland.
Moderating a panel on traf
fic courts for juveniles during
the seventh Oregon traffic
court conference at the Uni
versity of Oregon law school
here Friday, Judge Langtry
said: "I don't consider fines of
any value . . . and I don't
think a child under 18 has
any great need for a driver's
license, so I don't worry about
taking it away for a while."
The traffic court conference
ended its three - day meeting
here yesterday.
Judge Gus Solomon declined
to continue Clements on bail
and ordered him into the
custody of the United States
marshal pending sentencing

young Goss back to Judge
Solomon's court. Assistant
U. S. Attorney George Guba,
who prosecuted the bank rob
bery trial, told Judge Solomon
that Goss had approached the
bank witnesses, called them
"filthy and vile names and
threatened physical violence."
He asked that the matter be
set down for hearing, and
Judge Solomon set it at 10
a.m. Thursday with bail at
S500.
'Serious Offense'

$100.
