OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 18
(AP) The dotense in tho "tor

for lyornilasion to offer a defense
of "entrapment" with offers of
proof that Dr. Kont w. Berry,
50, was persuaded by prosecutors
to "boat up" Irving Baker, re
tired coast guard lieutenant, In
stead of having him nrrested on
a charge of raping Borry'a 27-year-old
wife.
The trial recessed at noon
with argument on admissibility
of the defense offer incomplete.
The prosecution nnnounced In
court it would wolcotue a grand
jury Investigation of events be
fore nnd after the charged ab
duction.
Proinlaea to Prove Rape
Berry'a attorney, C. D. Cun
ningham, told Judge John M.
Wilson, in tho jury's nbsonco, ho
would provo Bakor, an automo
bile denier, raped Mrs. Berry
during a Fourth of July weekend
house party at Underwood, on
Mud bay.
He said he would prove Berry
applied for a rape warrant
against Bakor July 11, after Mrs.
Barry finally told him of the in
cident, but Pros. Smith Troy and
Deputies John Lynch Jr., and K.
A, Phllbrlck pcratinilod him to
bent Baker instead, on tho argu
ment they would have to charge
Berry only with third degree ns-
sault and his wife's 11111110 would
not be "dragged In the dirt."

gested Berry also emasculate the
handsome, broad - shouldered
young man.
Cunningham said the defense
woiftd prove the prosecutors in
conferences with Borry compared
his sixo with that of tbe 190
pound former officer and -warned
him Baker might carry a weapon
and auggested he get one or two
mon to help him beat Baker.
Denies Rope
He said ho would prove Berry
used the prosecutor's telephone
to ask aid of a friend at Monte
sano, and Sheriff L. C. Hunta
mor heard the conversation and
suggested Berry let the law take
its course with the filing of a
rape charge against Baker.
Baker, during cross-examination
todny, hnlt rose from his
chair and shouted: "Emphatical
ly no" whon Cunningham asked
him If he assaulted Mrs. Berry.
"Did tho doctor repeatedly
charge you with raping his
wife?"
"He did, aereral times," Baker
replied, his voice rising.
"Wns It true?" Cunningham
continued.
"Emphatically no," Baker
shouted.
OLYMPIA. W-ash., Nov. 18 (U.R
Irving E. Baker, 37, retired U. S.
const guurd officer, told In super
ior court Thursday how he was
subjected to brutal torture for
more than an hour by Dr. Kent W.
Berry, 64. who allegedly kidnaped
and attempted to emasculate him.
Baker's testimony reached a
climax with the revelation his de
termination to go to hla home
after the attack was because Dr.
Berry allegedly threatened at tho
height of his rage to rape Baker a
wife in further revenge for
Bakor'a assorted intlmaclea with
Mra. Borry.
"I wanted to get home as fast
as I could to prevent this," Baker
said.

Under provisions ot treaties

Theae concessions were grant
ed with few return concessions;

The lowered duties, officials)
said, would "substantially" re

probably Increase the movement;

Under the treaty with the Unlt

American peara received treat
