Redin Judge
Rues Claims
Made By U.S.
SEATTLE. July 18 Pl Fed
eral Judge Lloyd L. Black Mid
In the Jury's absence in the LU
Mcolai O. Redin espionage-conspiracy
trial today that he was
sorry that the dignity of thu
trial had been threatened by
such extravagant claims" in the
governmcnt'i closing argu
ments. During the first two and
half weeka of the trial, the
Judge aaid, evidence was submit
ted and the counsel had "con
fined themselves to the Issues."
The government charges are
based on testimony of Herbert
Kennedy, shipyard engineer,
that he sold secrets of the U.
S. Yellowstone, a destroyer ten
der, to Redin for $250.
"It is my opinion that until
the opening arguments the jury
was much impressed by the gov
ernment's case," Judge Black
said. (The opening argument
was given by Victor E. Ander
son, special assistant to the U.
o. auorney genera. , ,
"I will now state that there is ;
not a syllable of evidence in this I
iriai wii ira njciiii.ii ..u '-
was in this country.
"There was not a whisper of
evidence that Russia had any
information on Redin's activi
ties." Asserting government counsel
had overstated importance of
Paul O. Landry
this question:
"Many property owners
take friends through their
new homes nights and
Sundays while under con
struction. As contractors
are we liable In case of
accident? Does our liabil
ity policy protect usf"

The judge remarked that de
fense counsel had "happily"
taken advantage of the intro
duction of such statements.
Judge Black also referred to
closing arguments by Defense
Counsel Irvin Goodman, and re
marked that the Tom Mooney
trial in California two decades
ago had no connection with this
case. Goodman had compared
the two.

suggested the chamber might be
able to raise, by subscription, the
J60.000 required for the lounge
and in this way combine the liv

plans. The Jaycees were in
structed by the council to find
out just how much money they
could raise by subscription and
report back.
Moving on a separate issue,
the council accepted the recrea
tion committee's suggestion to
place a continuing one and one-
nan mm levy on the ballot for
the development and enlarge
ment or present recreation facili
ties. Added to the present half

give the recreation committee
approximately 519,000 a year for

council to prepare the necessary
ordinances to place this measure
on the ballot.

in making the long difficult

menting on this unique experi
ence. Superintendent E. P. Lea-
vitt said:
I "The park service Is bending
every effort to open the trail

a visit to and on the water. Wc
urge visitors not to attempt to

' those who make such attempts
i not only jeopardize their own
; lives but the lives of others, as
i well as slowing the work of
opening the trail. We are all
: happy that Knapp emerged
from his ordeal virtually un
I harmed and hope that his ex
i perience will deter others from
i any attempt to duplicate his
feat."
Leavitt also said Knapp de
fied a barricade across the head
of the trail, warning signs and
pleas of his mother against the

tary manslaughter, and that
there were two tviH-s of killings
covered by the term manslaugh
ter, voluntary and involuntary.
As for the form of live indict
ment. Humble said that he fol
lowed a statutory form which
had been sustained by tho su
preme court and that It was a
correct form.
To that Judge Vandenfoerg
answered. "My dear man. those
forms are tu aid you in writing
indictments. You can't take 12
or 14 Indictments to cover 3000
laws. If you could, all you d
need is a $10 code book and a
secretary."
'Friendly' Struggle
The prosecution rested at
11:30. then O'Neill made his mo
tion to have the case thrown
out. Prosecution witnesses Stan
ley M. Hendricks and Harry
Marin, who were with Simmers
In the ice dock office at the
time and saw the "horseplay"
between Simmers and Todd Just
prior to the shooting, testified
that Todd fired at the climax
of a brief and "friendly" strug
gle and Simmers fell to the
tloor with a pistol bullet in his
heart.
It was their testimony that
Simmes bad taken a blackjack
away from Todd and was bran
dishing it when the railroad spe
cial ofilcer drew his pistol and
Lied.
City and state police officers,
called to the scene of the shoot
lug, testified In court today they
smelled alcohol on Todd's
breath and said Todd told them
Simmcs had the sap in his hand
and he, Todd, "let him have it."
Indictment Attacked
When the state rested, O'Neill
attacked the indictment on the
grounds that it did not state
facts to constitute a crime,
there was no such crime in Ore
gon as voluntary manslaughter,
that the indictment was not in
good form nnd also maintained
that the evidence did not prove
the crime.
O'Neill said in this state the
law specifies six typos of man
slaughter and that the word
"voluntary" was not a part of
any of them.
He also said that the evidence
showed only involuntary killing
In the commission of an unlaw
ful act, the act being the point
ing of a gun, which is a mis
demeanor.
The indictment against Todd
reads ". . . voluntary manslaugtv
ter . . . on the 25th of January,
1946, ... did then and there
unlawfully, feloniously and vol
untarily kill one Ross Simmers
by shooting him with a 32-20
revolver." j

Next Action Up !
To Joint Conference j
(Continued From Page One)
and many other food Items
should be exempted from price
controls.
The issue for the house was
whether to accept the senate
bill or seek a compromise
through the conference route.
Wolcott said he did not know
what would be the result of a
conference but was "hopeful wc
can work out something."
Lower Costs Reported
On the other side of the debate,
Rep. Jenkins of Ohio, chairman
of the republican food study
committee, said he had figures
indicating the cost of filling the
market basket actually had
dropped in the last two weeks.
Rep. Michcner (R-Mlch.) lined
up with Wolcott in recommend
ing that the bill be sent to the
conference group.
Rep. Sabath (D-Ill.) also urged
that action.
"The public must not be
mulcted and held up," Sabath
said. "We must legislate in the
interest of the public."
Sabath. chairman of the rules
committee, asked the house to
send the measure to a senate
house conference committee
which could rewrite It "to pro
tect the consumers of this coun
try." Many essential living cost
Items, he added, have jumped
"20 to 30 per cent" since OPA
died 16 days ago.
