Graifw' j CHICAGO GRAIN CHICAGO l Grains Generally turned lower toward the close on! the board of trade Thursday after presenting a highly mixed pattern most of the session. Wheat held up quite well most of the day but In the last hour the new crop contracts dropped rapid ly. This apparently reflected in creasing talk about a lack of stor- ge room to house mourning sur pluses of grains. Feed grains had an easier trend from the start as receipts of cash corn expanded to 150 cars. Soy beans were helped early by pur chases from export houses but re treated later on apprehension over the possibility of the government offering some of its butter at cut rate prices.

Bodinet To Be Held For Grand Jury . By LYLF. DOWNING Raymond J. Bodinet, 31-year-old Portland stonemason, charged with armed robbery In an alleged bawdyhouse at 648 Spring St., was ordered held for the County Grand Jury Thursday by District Judge D. E. Van Vactor. His bond re mains at $15,000 In lieu of which he was remanded to Uie County Jail. , Only two witnesses were called by District Attorney Frank Aider son a policeman and the alleged operator of Uie purported house of prostitution. During both direct-and cross examination any reference to "bawdyhouse" or "prostitution" was avoided. . Alderson first called Paula Ben ton, who he has charged m another action with operating a bawdy house. When asked to stale her oc cupation, she said she was "unem ployed.", Mrs. Benton under Questioning bv the district attorney, declared that Bodinet entered her bedroom short ly after 11 a.m. on the morning of January 8 and said: "Get up this Is a stickup!" According to her testimony Bodi net had a pistol in his hand. The witness then went on to describe subsequent events during which the defendant was alleged to have tak en currency from two drawers. Mrs. Benton also declared Bodi net and nls alleged partner Ued up Elizabeth Caldwell, Negro maid in the house. She said Mrs. Cald well also was gagged and ordered to lie on the kitchen floor. The witness also described the ac lions of an alleged partner, Edwin Coyle, also of Portland, who was later fatally wounded by a city policeman. The other prosecution witness was City Policeman Carl Jennings who placed Bodinet lunder arrest. Jennings said when he arrived at Uie Spring St. place, Bodinet was stanaing at the top or the stairs leading to the second floor with his hands up. He said the man re peated several times, "i don't have a gun don't shoot." Jennings said he. handcuffed Bodinet and took him outside to a police car. He also said he was present at the city police station when Bodinet identified a gun which was said to have been used in the holdup. S Both prosecution witnesses were questioned briefly by Defense At torney A. C. Yaden. No mention was made during the hearing of two young women, Tui- ka Taylor and Terry Miller, who oraerea neld as material wiuieses by Alderson. Thev were reported to have been In the house at the time of the alleged holdup. When their case was called in district court a week ago they lailed to appear to answer to the vagrancy charges. Bail of $50 each was forfeited. They are still at liberty under $500 ball each as ma terial witnesses. Mt-Nicii'Aia coi:rt Hiirrv GchkIiur. drunk, $i or 7'j davi.
