"When Pat went back in her bedroom the argument started again and Ray went back and was bawling her out as he en tered the doorway, I was coming Just behind him, I saw a ball of flame and heard the shot, in an instant he fell.

A member of tho jury asked Mrs. Harpham if the father and daughter had had trouble before, and the stepmother answered in the affirmative but said the girl had "never fought back" before that night. "He always favored tho boy, and Pa knew that," the mother offered.) Boy Ttttiiitt The dead man's son, Hay Jr.. 11-year-old red-headed boy, clad in striped overalls and wearing a blazer, was called to tho stand and took the oath. Under questioning of District Attorney Siscmore, Ray repeat ed his mother's story in detail, and added a few additional bits of information. Here is Ray's story: "My sister and I went to bed, and I didn't want her to sleep with me because some times she laid on me and we were argu ing. My daddy said if we didn't quit arguing he'd come in and whip us. She sassed him back and he whipped her and she sassed him again and he whipped her real hard. "My stepmother said she thought that was enough and sent Pat to bed, but instead of going to bed she got a gun and when he came in the door she shot him. I didn't see her get the gun it was dark 1 just heard it click. But I knew which gun she had. There was a .45 laying on the table, on a dish, and in the dish were some of my bee-bees and I heard them roll around. Warned Father "I knew Pat had the gun and when I 'heard daddy coming I called to him to "watch out." But then he was in the doorway and I saw just a ball of fire. He stood there and weaved for a minute and fell. "Then Pat started yelling aw fully, 'I've killed him, Oh, I've killed him." Young Ray said his sister had never played with guns nor had used them much. "My daddy was target practic ing that day, and had left two shells in the .45. When he was outside he said he thought he'd better go back and take the shells out but he saw a train come in and had to go back to work." Severed Spinal Cord Ray's testimony completed the hearing. Previously Dr. E. D. Johnson had testified that a bul let had penetrated the man's neck, entering on the right side and emerging through the back, severing the spinal cord. Ramona will go before the justice of the peace in Alturas as soon as papers are receive from Klamath county authori ties, according to Deputy Dis trict Attorney Roger Burum of Alturas when called by phone late Friday morning. If the girl's age is determined as 13 years, she will then be certified to the juvenile court and action will be entirely at the discretion of the judge of the juvenile court. Judge A. K. Wylie of Alturas, Burum stated. The girl is being cared for by a matron in the Modoc county jail, officers there stated. She seems "calm" and has herself well in control. The stepmother of the two children said their mother, Mrs. Ethel Woods, lived In West Plains, Missouri. The Harphams were married two and one-half years ago in Rawlins, Wyo., where Harpham was employed in a lumber yard there. From Rawlins the family went to Blytheville, Arkansas where the father was employed as tel egrapher on the Frisco line.

News i i V-M V 1171 F ACTS STUDIED IN SB OF (Continued from Pago One) serted, is that both Germany and the United States are par ties to an international agree ment entered into in 1930 under which submarines are bound to take proper precautions to in sure the safety of crews and pas. scngcrs of any merchant ship be fore it is sunk. In the case of the Robin Moor, I Welles declared that the facts speak for themselves. I Welles was referrinc to a pro-1 vision of the 1930 London naval treaty which requires that sub - marines insure the safety of crews and passengers and states that lifeboats shall not be consid ered a sufficient measure of safety except when they are in proximity to land. Thirty-five persons from the Robin Moor are still missing in three lifeboats. Survivors were quoted as say. ing that the submarine left the 46 passengers and crewmen in open lifeboats hundreds of miles from land. Welles was askea how the Robin Moor incident might af fect President Roosevelt's recent reassertion of the doctrine of the seas. The president's state ment spoke for itself, was the re ply. Welles emphasized that every detail on the sinking which the state department had received had been made available to the public and this practice would be continued. . He said there was nothing more important than that the people of the United States have all the facts in the case.
