Witnesses Called
To Describe Arrest
Of Carole Tregoff
' Los Angeles IUPII -The
prosecution today called wit
nesses to tell about Carole
Tregoff's arrest several weeks
after her lover, Dr. R. Ber
nard . Finch; ; was jailed on
charges of murdering his
wife. , -.
With the eighth week ! of
the murder retrial of the cou
ple ending today, chief prose
cutor Clifford Crail launched
the final part of his case.
Crail had only to call Las
Vegas, Nev., police officers
and several other witnesses
to ; explain how authorities
slowly came to believe Car
ole, 23, was a coconspirator
with Finch. . ,
Finch was arrested the day
after the shooting in the Las
Vegas apartment he had rent
ed ' the previous month for
Carole. -
The red-haired former mod
el was not arrested until she
had testified at' Finch's pre
liminary hearing weeks aft
er the July 18, 1939 slaying
of Mrs. . Barbara Jean Finch.
Crail said he hoped to wind
up his case by the end of next
week. -:
The defense would then
open its case, with hand
some, 42-year-old Finch ex
pected to be the first witness.
Don Bringgold, lawyer for
Carole, said he planned to
have Carole testify in her
own defense again after attor
ney Grant Cooper finishes the
defense of his client, Finch.
, Both defendants testified
in the first trial which end
ed March 12 after three
months when the jury was
unable to reach a verdict.
Cooper managed Thursday
to make a coroner's patholo
gist admit under cross-examination
that he did not con
sider In the first trial the
possibility that Mrs. Finch
was struck on the head after
she was fatally shot.
Belief Reaffirmed
In his fourth day on the
witness stand. Dr. Gerald K.
Ridge reaffirmed his belief
that Mrs. Finch suffered a
fracture in the front of the
head after the shot.
However, Cooper drew
from Ridge an admission that
the reason he did not testify
to his belief in the first trial
Astoria Bridge
Financing Talked
; Salem-dJPU-Slate Rep. Wil
liam Holmstrom (D Astoria)
and Astoria port manager
Richard Bettendorf Thursday
discussed with state highway
officials here suggestions for
financing a Columbia river
bridge at Astoria which are
currently being studied by a
state of Washington legisla
tive interim committee.
The Washington group is
exploring different ways of
financing the big project. ,
The Oregon legislature in
1959 approved issuing bonds
for half the cost of the project
if . the state of Washington
would put up the other half
of the money.
RADIO MUSICIAN. DIES
Boston -IUPU- Carl Moore,
72, who was one of the few
remaining live musicians in
radio, died Thursday.' ,
was because it. had not oc
curred to him until Crail sug
gested it recently.
The defense had waged a
determined battle week-long
to discredit the possibility
that Finch beat his wife aft
er she was shot. Finch claims
she was shot accidentally as
he tried to .throw away a
gun.

WoJcy
By BILL YIM
Tokyo -.IUPI) - The cell of
the Communist ' prison was
eight by eight feet. It was
the first of three in which I
was to live for a year on Red
charges of espionage.
I had come into China from
Hong Kong1 on a simple news
assignment for UPI. I had
explained in- full why I was
coming. I had been welcomed
by the Communists. But with
in 10 days I was in prison on
trumped-up charges.
The first cell contained two
wooden, slatted beds about
eight inches off the floor, and
a wooden bucket which would
serve as my toilet for a year.
Rgulalion Posted
The walls were whitewash
ed. High on the far wall was
a steel-barred window. Only
by standing on the bed on tip
toe could one look out. . But
this as against the rules.
I was never permitted to
see another prisoner.
On the door were pasted
prison regulations:
"Don t waste food. Don t
tight (with whom?). Don't
gamble (that was almost fun
ny). Don't sing: Don't dance.
Don't dry' clothes in cell.
Don't pretend illness. Don't
smoke. Don't use vulgar lan
guage. Reflect on your crimes
on the government."
Food Not Bad
Breakfast would be pushed
through a small door in the
bottom of the cell door. It
usually consisted of watery
rice and noodles and some
times a piece of bread. There
was no coffee.
Lunch was usually rice,
vegetables and sometimes a
little pork or fish. After
lunch I would nap for a
couple of hours and then wait
for dinner. The food was not
too bad and actually I gained
some weight in prison.
Later, I was moved to a
slightly larger cell and then
to one with two windows, a
bed and desk. The food im
proved and I was given spec
ial permission to smoke a
couple of cigarettes a day. It
was part of a campaign to
"reform" me and bring me
over to their side.
The loneliness was hard to
bear. Sometimes I cried. I
know grown men should not
cry but there are times when
a good cry helps you.
Sometimes to pass the time
I danced, whirling around the
cell with an imaginary Hong
Kong beauty in an eye-catching
Cheongsan. t like popu
lar music and so sometimes I
also sang to myself. ;
I became so lonesome I ask
ed the guard to talk to me,
then the warden, They agreed.
I got indoctrination lectures.
But it was good to hear some
one talk. The warden would
go on and on. He would tell
me of the great advancement
Communist China was mak
ing. Then interrogations were
resumed. You see', I still had
n't been brought to trial.
There were two men. I
called them the "sweet talker"
and the "shouter." They tookl
turns on me. "Sweet talker"
told me that everyone makes
mistakes, that I had only to
repent. "Shouter" threw the
same questions about- spying
he made much of the fact I
carried the huge sum of 1,000
Hong Kong dollars - $166 in
U.S. exchange terms.

Hammerstein Said
To Be Unchanged
Doylestown, Pa.- IUPD -The
condition of Oscar Hammer
stein II, famed showman seri
ously ill at his farm home
near here, was reported un
changed today.
' J)r. Raymond D. Tice said
the librettist for scores of
Broadway hits was in no im
mediate danger but he could
not say "what may turn up."
Hammerstein, 65, suffered a
relapse after undergoing an
operation a year ago. He is at
tended by nurses 24 hours a
day.
Day after day stumbled by.
My jailers gave me news
papers and books, most of
them attacking American im
perialism. I asked for music
and they put a radio loud
speaker in my cell. It was
played every evening for one
hour - nothing but military
marches, although peace is a
popular Communist slogan.'
On the night of Jan. 31,
1960, six months after I had
entered China, I was taken
out of my cell. I thought the
Communists were going to
release me and I had to fight
down my joy. Instead I was
taken to a room in the prison
and handed a paper charging
me with espionage,
The Communists asked if I
wanted a lawyer. I said no.
After all, I had previously
made an admission - after
nine days straight interroga
tion - of "violating the sov
ereignty" of the Chinese Peo
ples Republic.
The next afternoon, I was
handcuffed and taken in an
American jeep to a court
building. The glare of two
newsreel camera floodlights
hit my eyes.
There were 300 spectators
in the rear of the room.
I walked down the aisle to
a long table at which sat the
judges, clad in the Mao Tse
tung high-necked tunics, At a
table to my right were two
prosecutors. At the left was
my unrequested "defense at
torney." j
Microphones Everywhere
Microphones were every
where. Although we were in
Canton, I was instructed to
speak in Mandarin, the na
tional language. The film was
to be distributed throughout
China and millions do not
understand Cantonese.
The judge read the charges
and questioned me - the same
old questions.
Then they brought in the
witnesses. There was a taxi
driver with whom I rode
when I sent a cable simply
informing my UPI office in
Hong Kong that I needed help.
There was the once friend-.
ly travel agency man who had
met me at the railroad station
and shown me to the hotel.
There was the waitress who
testified I tried to "corrupt"
her with tips. '
The travel service man said
I had asked him to smuggle
me out of Canton. It was an
outright lie.
The- judge produced my
camera, t y p e writer, note
books. and unused film. I had
been told by the Communist
travel agency in Hong Kong
that I could bring them.
"Do you have anything to
say," the. judge asked the man
who was my defense attorney.
I had never exchanged a word
with him. ;
Aikt Light Sentence
"According to the accused's
confession," he told the judge,
"he has realized that he has
violated the sovereignty of
the People's Republic of
China. That means he has
taken the first step toward re
forming himself. I suggest
you give him a ' light sen
tence." That was my defense. The
trial recessed after one hour.
I waited 15 minutes in a re
ception room and then was
led back. The sentence was
one year in prison. The six
months I had already served
would be deducted.
All eyes were on me as I
was led out of the room. No
one spoke to me. . But I did
hear someone say to his
neighbor, "This man is very
Westernized." .
Stubbornness cost me an
extra six months in jail,' '
There were broad hints
from my prison warden that
if I had stood before the court,
made a proper confession and
expressed humility for my
"crimes," I might have been
released. But I stood silent;
Sees the Sights
The Communists never gave
up trying to "reform" me . .
Ten days before I was re
leased, they made their last
big attempt to win me over.
The warden took me on a
morning sightseeing trip
around Canton.
He showed me buildings
and construction to demon
strate the might of Commu
nist China. Then we went to
the famous yellow flower
mountain gardens so I could
see the beauty of Red horti
culture. -
It was my first time out of
prison and it was a treat.
Three days later, the warden
took me on another tour. They
wanted to be sure they had a
"friend" when I was released.
' The day before my year was
up, I wrote a letter to the
government pointing out that
my term was expiring. I
thanked them for my "kind"
treatment. They had to have
something to show I had "re
formed" or I would never
have been released.
Back To Freedom
,. ...midnight that night,,.!
was taken from the prison
back to the hotel, where I
first registered. Three guards
spent the night in my room.
