14 miles east of the Mouse and
10 miles southeast of Cclles,
deepest point of German pene
tration toward Dinant.
Critical Battle
Here the critical battle was
fought in the hamlet of Humaln,
four miles southwest of Marche
and four miles north of Roche
fort. The Germans were driven out
of the village with planes, artil
lery, infantry, tank destroyers
and finally flamethrowers, and
the Americans were firmly In
control of the town, including its
old chateau where a cornered
German group made its last
stand.
Celles, where the enemy of
fensive was stopped, was one of
the ghastliest carnage scenes of
the war.
Here a German pocket was
wiped out. 1200 prisoners were
taken, and 63 enemy tanks, 49
guns and 177 military vehicles
littered the terrain. The Ger
mans said a British second army
division of Highlanders had a
part in this battle.
Pocket Cleared
Another armored column
which fled Jamblinnc, five miles
west of Rochefort, were chased
by American tank formations
which claimed more than 1000
prisoners.

CASE OF BOLD
T
TO
(Continued From Page One)
Loomis, a Kerns employe, arriv
ing for work. Loomis' car almost
ran over Bold's unconscious
body. City police were called,
and Bold was removed to Klam
ath Valley hospital, where he
died.
Marks Found
Investigators at the rear of
the Kerns building found marks
on the side of the building which
might have been made by a belt
buckle, although the buckle on
the belt worn by Stevens show
ed no evidences of damage or
other than normal use. It was
considered possible that abras
ions on the side of Stevens' head
were made by the wheels of
Loomis' car.
An autopsy was held -on the
body of Bold, but the exact
cause of death was not deter
mined, according to Siscmore.
Tissues were sent to the Ore
gon crime laboratory, where an
investigation showed Bold was
not poisoned, the prosecutor
said.
MotWt
A factor in the seriousness of
the charge against Stevens raav
be the question of a thievery
motive whether he attacked
Bold to steal his car, or money.
Stevens, according to investi
gators, obviously drove away
witn Bold s car, and was found
with it at the Marine Barracks.
but whether that was the mo
tive for an act against Bold, and
whether he intended to deprive
Bold of the car, may be ques
tions of legal controversy. Bold
was also reported to have been
seen with a wallet the nieht of
the incident, but no wallet was
found on his body and no wal
let was found in Stevens pos
session. Other questions in the unusual
case include the care given Bold
after he was removed from the
rear of the Kerns building,
Bold's reputation, Stevens' repu
tation, comments made by Stev
ens to other service men he
talked to after the incident the
night of December 5. Neighbors
of Bold told marine corps author
ities the farmer was of good
repute and was never known to
have any abnormal tendencies.
Stevens has an excellent over
seas record, and his record show
ed only minor violations of mili
tary discipline in this country.
The military board, which
made a thorough and painstak
ing investigation of the case, in
cluded Lt. Col. Walfricd H.
Tromhold, USMC; Lt. Com. Rob

Captain Roy L. Walters, USMCR,

In agreeing to that date Judge
Sullivan told Cox that if in the
meantime the government met
interference it could come into
court and ask for an immediate
temporary injunction.
Promptness Needed
Cox said a prompt hearing
was necessary because the army
would have to take some man
agerial steps and would need ac
cess to books and records.
"It is not the desire of the de
fendants to impose anv physical
obstruction to the army," Ball
replied. "If the government
wants the books, they will be
