Yancey Gets Life
Term For Murder
(Continued From Page One)
lowed to plead guilty to second
degree murder he told the court
he knew that it meant a life pen
itentiary sentence, and he also
asked that the sentence be im
posed Immediately.
Miss McComb, 50 -year -old
member of a pioneer Klamath
family and county librarian for
12 years, was fatally wounded
by gunfire on the night of De
cember 14. Yancey made a dis
turbance at the rear door of her
home. 1635 Crescent, that night,
and she ran across the street to
the home of his step-father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Ma Us,
1702 Crescent.
Yancey followed her there and
in an argument in the living
room he shot her as she sat on a
davenport. She died a week later
from the bullet wound in her
neck.
Yancey afterwards told offi
cers he was "in love" with Miss
McComb 15 years his senior
and the shooting was prompted
over a warning to leave her
alone from Miss McComb's
brother, David McComb.
During the shooting fray
Yancey also directed one shot at
Matts. his step-father, but missed,
and fired twice at his own head,
inflicting a scalp wound. In
court this morning he appeared
for the first time without a
bandage around his head.
Barnes To Go East
To Get Ankeny
Deputy Sheriff Marion Barnes
has made train reservations from
Reno to New York City for his
trio east to take custodv of Lewis
Ankeny, px-Klamath Falls stock
broker held in Jail in "New York.
Barnes said he would go to
Reno bv car and leave there bv
train Tuesday evening. It will
be his first trip east.
Ankeny is under two indict
ments charging embezzlement
and larceny bv police. He was
arrested In New York shortly
before Christmas and is reported
to have been using an assumed
name there.
Open Drive
said he is ready to introduce a
lengthy lubor bill this afternoon
after the seSKiou opening for
malities of the Both congress are
out of the way in the house.
O.no provision is designed to
force arbitration ot disputes in
the most essential industries.
Another would outlaw the
closed shop. And a third would
forbid collective bargaining on
an industry-wide basis such as
autoa and steel, both of which
suffered crippling strikes lust
year.
Smith said in an interview be
fore the session started: "The
public interest must be para
mount. 1 think it's a mistake to
pay too much attention to the
special desires of ei titer labor or
industry."
Five house republicans were
ready with another bill a re
peat measure which also would
require compulsory arbitration
as a last resort in order to pre
vent strikes affecting the public
health or safety.
These five are Reps. Audita
closs (NJ), Clifford Case (NJ),
Herter (Mass), Hale (Me) and
Hceelton (Mass).
Herter told a reporter: "Since
first filing this bill last June, we
have reviewed it very carefully
and are more than ever con
vinced that it is essential. We
sec no other way ot protecting
the public interest."
