Dismissal Move Denied The prosecution won an Im portant round in the case of State of Oregon vs. Verne L, Wagner this afternoon when Circuit Judge Charles H. Combs denied all motions to dismiss the indictment for assault, armed with a dangerous weapon, against the Klumath Falls police officer. Herbert P. Welch, attorney for Wagner, had attacked the in dictment from three directions: That "undue Influence and co ercion" had been exerted on the grand jury by Judge David R. Vandenberg while allegations of police brutality were being probed last December, that Judge Vandenberg appcured be fore the grand jury as a witness against Wagner and his name was not listed as a witness on the indictment, and that the facts stated in the indictment did not constitute a crime. All three were ruled out by Judge Combs after a lengthy and highly technical sot of argu ments by Welch and District At torney Clarence A. Humble. With the motions disposed of, Wagner stood and entered plea of not guilty to the charge. No date was set for a trial. Welch had subpoenaed several members of the grand jury which Jndicted Wagner to ap pear for the hearing, but after a long discussion of the pro priety of the move, only one, Fred H. Heilbronner, was al lowed to answer any questions on the stand. Heilbronner served as clerk of the grand jury during its ses sion, and he said that he did not recollect Judge Vandenberg ap pearing as a witness against Wasner or offering anv pur ported facts of the act which is stated in the indictment. Welch had read into the rec ord for future use should the case go to the state supreme court, many exceptions to Judge Combs' rulings. turned oh Sunday from an ex tensive trio.
