OVER WAIL TEST (Continued From Page One) Martha James was killed which he had not made on question ing here last Saturday. A closer check of the state ment made here by M. H Hushes, porter on death car D, immediately showed a discrep ancy between his and rolkes statements, officers said. This discrepancy, according to Deputy Sheriff Jack Franey, was in particular mat t ouces failed to mention a pertinent fact that he had passed through the death car, smoked a cigarette, and returned to the diner which Immediately xoiiow- ed the death car and on whicn. he was second cook. In so doing, he twice passed lower berth 13 some time prev- ious to the slaying ol Mrs, James. Franey pointed out that Folkes also neglected to men tion that he had been up drink- ins a statement he made to Los Anaeles officers. His state ment given here said ne nad gotten up early and gone to work in the galley, of his diner. Huahti Statement In his statement, Folkes said that while working in the diner, Private Harold Wilson came through the car and asked him, Folkes, if he had seen a man pass. Folkes answered that he had not, and when the marine told him that a murder had been committed, Folkes asked the marine if he had been drinking. The porter, Hughes, In a state ment hererelated that Folkes had come . Into the smoking room at the front end of the deatbi ear: 'and had a -smoke, leaving 1nt the direction of the diner .prior to the slaying of Mrs. James.," Close to Scene A navy petty officer said also that a man with a cook's cap had " stopped by the smoking room, his statement coinciding with that of the porter. Folkes, by his own statement, was up and close to the scene of the murder. Deputy Sheriff Franey said that by the time the marine ran to the rear car and returned, Folkes, had he been the mur derer, would have had ample time to dispose of a weapon. A point which may be in Folkes favor, however, was that the description of the murderer, given by Private Wilson who was in upper berth 13, did not seem to fit the description of Folkes. t A development 'which oc curred here, and which attract ed attention to' the dining car crew, was 'a report by a local woman' that on January 11 she was accosted by a "dining car cook while riding car D of the West Coast from' Portland to Klamath Falls. This woman told her story to the office of District Attorney L. Orth Sisemore after hearing of the train killing. . She said the cook stopped her as she was returning to her berth from the rest room late at night on January 11. She . said that he invited her into the diner to eat, and when she refused, forced her into the car. She asserted he brandished a knife and made improper ad vances toward her, after forcing food and drink on her. Later, she said, he came to her berth and persisted in an noying her, asking her if she was going to tell on him. Whether the cook in that in cident resembled Folkes has not been determined. District Attor ney Sisemore said Wednesday, A SWELL 1 ALL-AMEHiGAN ATTACK HITS L (Continued From PageOne) two-night lull in offensives over the continent.
