tion that tho man woro a brown
pln-strlpo suit. In direct testi
mony Friday ho said tho man
woro n dark ovorcoat, tin asser
tion also mado by District Attor
ney Harlow Woinrick In Ills
opening statement.
"Didn't you decide thnt the
man woro an overcoat lifter tho
district attorney said ho 'must
havo worn an overcoat with n
knife up a sleeve'?" Lomax said.
"No," Wilson said, explaining
that ha was "excited and
shocked" nt tho time of the
laying.
Woro Ovorcoat
"My decision that tho man
woro an overcoat came after the
excitement had subsided and I
had llmo to Rive clear consider
ation to what I hnd witnessed,"
said Wilson,
Abruptly nt 11:15 Lomnx said
lie was unable to continue and
asked tlio court to halt tho trial
again, Circuit Judge L. G. Lowcl
llng adjourned court until 2
' o'clock this afternoon.
Lomnx questioned Wilson's
statement In direct testimony
Hint ho had found Folkcs sweat
ing in a cool galley nftcr Mrs.
James' throat was slashed. Tho
attorney pointed out that Wilson
also had testified that Folkos
was about to fry a couplo of
eggs.
"Can you fry eggs on a cold
stove?" Lotnax asked,
Gnlloy Cold
Wilson ropllcd that tha flro
had been started only n short
time and Hint the galley still was
cold.
Lomax nsltccl Wilson to call
mnto tho weiKht and hclRht of
tho man ho saw como out of low
er 13.
Wilson said ho thoiiRht the
man welKhcd between 170 and
1B0 pounds and stood about five
feet eight or 10 inches. Lomax
pointed out that 20-yonr-old
Folkos weighed nbout 150
pounds and was about five eight.
Lomax asked Wilson about a
lilood-spattercd towel tho marine
had mentioned In both direct
and cross examination as having
been found by hhn.
Bloody Towol Found
Wilson said ho found the towol
In another sleeping car' ono be
hind tho dlnor nftcr the train
loft Eugono, Ore,, its first stop
after Mrs. James was killed. WU
Bon sulci ho discovered it while
aiding officers in their Investiga
tion, Wilson snld ho thought ho hnd
tnlkod to about soven officers nt
Kugono and about tho same num
ber when tho train stopped Inter
at Kliunnlh Falls, Ore, last slop
before entering Cnllfornln,
"Did you ever toll nny of
llioso officers that tho man who
left Hie berth was u white many"
asked l.oninx.
"No I novor did," Wilson ro
pllcd. Lomnx asked slowly and delib
erately: "Was ho a whltu mini?"
"1 don't know," Wilson said.
Folkos Interested
Folkcs, who had been Impas
sive, apparently disinterested In
tho trial sinco It started, was
keenly Interested In tho cross-examination
of Wilson,
Wilson testified that ho had ob
served tho man who emerged
from Mrs. James' berth for about
20 seconds before ho disappeared
around tho corridor's curve to
ward tho rear of sleeping car D.
Ho estimated hn reipilred about
nO seconds for him to put on his
shoes and trousers and give fu
tile pursuit.
Distance Asked
"How far was It from the berth
to tho turn?" Lomnx nsked.
"Hetwecn 10 and 12 feet."
"Aid yet you Just said he
'moved down tho alslo with n
very active motion"" Lomax
(pierled.
"I did."
"Was lie running on his hands
or feelV" Lomnx asked and the
spectators laughed.
"On his feet," Wilson said
without smiling.
During the cross examination
Lomnx and Judga Lewelling had
a sharp oxchuiigo of words.
Lomax claimed that a state
ment mado by a state's witness,
Nathaniel Lincoln Shuw, n por
ter In sleeping car K, hnd been
withheld from tho defense. Lo
mnx snld it wns a stnto record
nnd the court had power to make
such records avnllnblo to tho de
fense In murder cases.
The court said no showing hnd
been niiido that such n statement
existed or that it was a state
record.
"I resent the Implication that
the court is withholding any
thing from tho defense," Lewel
ling said.
Lomax apologized nnd the
cross exnmiiintion continued.

alfication to make them avail
able for call when their order
numbers are reached unless they
a ro necessary to the civilian war
effort or their induction would
mean oxtrcmo hardship to de
pendents. 2. Mora than 6,000,000 fath
ers, a class broadened to tako in
thousands of men who became
duds between tho summer of
1041 and last September 15 were
assured a further breathing spell
before cull on their group begins.
McNutt said one reason for the
revisions was to postpone the
culling of fathers "as long as pos
iblc." He added tho hope that
tho remaining title before the
bar against drafting fathers Is
lifted would provide opportun
ity for men with children; many
of whom are now In the 3-A and
the ncwly-cliininated 3-B classi
fications to acquire skilled jobs
entitling them to occupational
deferment.
Farmers Statua
Tho preferred draft-status of
farmers, whose 2-C and 3-C clas
sifications were left intact, was
emphasized as the regulation:
Eliminated the nine-month-old
3-B classification, which had put
all men having dependents and
holding any job in an essential
activity behind 3-A men of like
family relationship in the order
of call.
Ordered reclassification to 1-A
of all men outside of farming ex
cept those personally essential to
essential activities and those
whose Induction would mean
"extreme hardship and priva
tion" to dependents.
Reserve 3-A
Reserved exclusively for fath
ers the 3-A classification, which
has been open to childless mar
ried men and hardship-case sin
gle men engaged in activities out
side both the essential and non
deferable lists.
Created a new classification,
3-D, for deferment of anyone
whose induction would "result in
extreme hardship and privation
to a wife, child or parent with
whom he maintains a bona fide
family relationship in their
home."
Farm Shift
Selective service spokesmen
said farmers who have been in
class 3-A, including childless
married men, would be shifted
automatically to 3-C for contin
uance -of their deferment. The
2-C classification defers farmers
without dependents.
Men who are personally essen
tial to essential activities will
continue to be placed in classifi
cations 2-A and 2-B for defer
ment for six-month periods or
until replacements are available
for them. These need not have
dependents.
Superior Classification
The farm deferments are su
perior to others because they
continue indefinitely, without re
gard to availability of replace
ments. Both farm classifications are
restricted to those "necessary to
and regularly engaged in an ag
ricultural occupation of agricul
tural endeavor essential to the
war effort," but liberal interpre
tation has opened them to most
full-time farm workers.
Elimination of the 3-B classifi
cation put men in essential ac
tivities on the same footing as
those in other work except
work specifically declared to
hold no deferment rating what
soever, even for men with sev
eral children unless they aro cs
sontiul individuals.
Reverie Policy
Tills appeared to reverse the
policy of tho war manpower
commission, which has charge of
selective service, to persuade
shifts to the more essential lines
of work, but spokesmen said the
sumo and quicker result could
be obtuincd by expanding the
non-dcferrnblo list.
Furthermore, they said, the
postponement afforded by 3-B
rating might have been slight
since many local boards hove ex
hausted their supply of childless
murrlcd men in 3-A and have be
gun reclassifying such men out
of 3-B Into 1-A. They added the
same condition would have pre
vailed when the calling of fath
ers began.
Instructions
Boards were Instructed to:
Consider whether men reclas
sified out of 3-B should be put in
3-C, 3-A, 2-C, 2-A or 2-B before
putting them in 1-A.
"Bear in mind" that they can
put a man in 2-A or 2-B even if
neither his line of work nor his
particular Job is on the national
list of essential activities and
job-occupations, since the list is
"only a guide" to help determine
essentiality.
Continue, "insofar as possi
ble," to call single men ahead of
married men, regardless of when
the marriages took place. Calling
of fathers is expected to begin
generally around July 1.
Induction Rate
The current rate of induction
is about 12,000 a day. There now
are about 15,000,000 registrants
aged 18 through 37 in the vari
ous draft classifications. Another
80,000 to 100,000 become 18
each month.
Approximately 9,250,000 of
the present registrants are men
in the family relationship classi
fication 3-A, 3-B and 3-C and
about 6,250,000 of them are
fathers.
The 3-A class contains about
7,000,000 men, the 3-B class 2,
000,000 ond the 3-C class 250,
000. Many in 3-A and 3-B will,
however, be shifted lo 3-C as re
classifications go forward.
"H" Classification
