killing of her mother, Mrs. Anna
Klllngson.
Tho murder trial was halted yes
terday when the court dismissed the
regularly Impaneled Jury temporar
ily and ordered a new Jury picked to
puss upon Miss KUIngson's mental
qualifications. Tho basis of the test,
according to a pronouncement made
by tho court was "whether a person
accused of crlmo comprehended the
proceedings and was able to present
an Intelllglblo defense

Tho Insanity issue was Injected
Into the proceedings out of the or

Mis Elllngson falling Into fainting
spells almost hourly. Twice she fell

ridors leading out of court.
Miss BIHsgson, who shot her
mother to death when her parent
objected to the hours and associates
sho was keeping, angrily resented
yesterday tho Imputation that sho Is
not In her right mind.
Dr. Jan Don Ball, defense psy
chiatrist, testified that Miss Ellng
son was suttorlng from "psychosis"
and was "out of Her mind at times."
Dr. Hall defined "psychosis" as a
mental disorder. He traced tho his

testified that Mrs. Elllngson. was

Tribal Council of Klamath
Reservation Partially
Rescinds Action
Certain areas of tribal range
land wore roopencd to white peo
ple for livestock grazing purposes by
recent action of the tribal council.
It was announced today by Fred A.
Baker, superintendent of the Klam
ath Indian reservation.
Before the last tribal council elec
tion, tho former council twice en-i
acted a resolution closing all tribal
range land to wnite people lor lease.
The first action of the council on
this matter brought a storm of pro
test from the white livejtoclcroen
who appeared before a second tribal
council meeting and submitted their
case to the councllmen. By a close
vote the first action of tho council
was substantiated.
By the recent election of a new
tribal council the complexion of the
council was changed and by the close
vote of 7 to 5 certain sections of the
tribal land were declared open to
white livestockmon.
Mr. Baker's statement concerning
the section of the conncil was brief.
He could give no particulars con
cerning what lands, were reopened
because the matter was too involved
for explanation, he said.
