Finch, Carole Given Life Imprisonment;
Attorneys Plan To Motion for New Trial
Los Angeles-M-Dr. R. Ber
nard Finch and Carole Tre
goff, spared by a jury from
death in the gas chamber and
"still very much In love" vow
ed today to fight their life
Imprisonment sentences.
'- The penalty fixed Wednes
day by the jury of 10 men and
2 women meant the lovers,
Who were found guilty of kill
ing the surgeon's wife, will
vie eligible for parole after
serving, seven years. '
Attorneys for the convicted
murderers said they will ap
peal the case it motions for
a new trial are turned down
at formal sentencing April 17,
' Finch,' 43, and Carole, ,.24;
were convicted 10 days ago. at
their third trial in the shot-tn-the-back
murder of tho sur
geon's wife, Barbara Jean, 33,
on juiy la, laow.
The state board that rules
on parole can withhold It for
an indefinite length of time
or refuse it completely, de
pending on the nature of the
crime and a convict's behavior
In prison.
The lovers - reacted with
tearful relief and at the same
time the shock that came from
knowing they might spend the
rest of their lives in jail:
"No, no, no," Carole said.
"I'll be an old woman when
I get out."
She started to sob.- Finch,
separated from iher at , the
counsel table by .her lawyer,
Don Brlnggold, reached hU
left hand to touch her right
farm and said: , ; ; , i
"We'll fight it, darling.
We're still alive." .
Carole recovered her com
posure quickly and walked
firmly from the courtroom.
But Finch, suddenly over
come, put his hand palm down
on the table, hung his head
and wept for nearly three
minutes.-.
There were pools of tears
on the table when he left.
Finch was sentenced to life
on both his convictions: for
first-degree murder and con
spiracy to murder. Carole, his
mistress,' was sentenced for
conspiracy, which, like first
degree murder, carries a pun
ishment of the gas chamber or
life. r -r J'"- '?'.''; '
She also was convicted of
second-degree murder, but the
judge told the jury to ignore
its automatic penalty of five
years to life since the con
spiracy sentence made it mean
ingless. ,
"We'll go as high as the
Supreme Court if necessary,"
said Brlnggold. He said he
"thanked God" the jury had
spared Carole but added:
"We will free this girl and
prove her innocence to the
world. If she is granted
new trial, it will be the be
ginning of a long, hard fight.'

Measures Signed
By Gov. Hatfield
Salem - (UPD - Gov. Mark
Hatfield today signed into
law a bill prohibiting further
state-ordered sterilization of
epileptics.
Other bills signed by the
governor:
HB1104 - Ballot marking.
HB1129 - Relating to wel
fare commission reports,
HB1292 - Relating to state
library funds.
HB1522 - Permitting two
polling spots in the same
building.
HB1542 - Relating to motor
carriers.
in prepared testimony before
a closed-door session of the
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee. He was accompanied
by Gen. George H. Decker,
Army chief of staff.
The secretary praised Ken
nedy's recent proposals to in
crease the army's manpower,
its non-nuclear firepower and
its battlefield mobility.
When these modernization
programs are put into effect,
he said, it will permit Army
forces to make "deliberate
choices in weapons and strat
egy" that will reduce the
danger of a small war turn
ing into a large one.
. Stahr said great mobility Is
being achieved with the Stra
tegic Army Corps, the Army's
"fire brigade" of three battle
ready divisions that can be
rushed rapidly to any area In
the world.
He also stressed the Army's
special forces group capable
of organizing guerrilla-type
warfare, as of "particular im
portance now."
"In my opinion," he added,
these special forces will be
"most likely of increasing im
portance in the years ahead,"
in the task of meeting chal
lenges in the form of subver
sion, insurgency and guerrilla
actions. ,
Warning that the Commu
nists have continued to im
prove both their nuclear and
non-nuclear power, Stahr
said: "We must be prepared
to deal swiftly and effective
ly with military adventures
directed against any part of
the Free World."
"If we are not so prepared,"
he declared, "those adven
t u r e s will multiply . and
spread."
Supports Missile System
He reiterated the Army's
desire to develop its Nike
Zeus antimissile system, de
spite the administration deci
sion to limit the program and
hold off on making it an op
erational system.
