Newspaper Page TextUNDAY. JUNE IS. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 3 A Cloud Explains Tardiness; Denies Any 'Irregularity' By JIM PHILUPS Clyde R. Cloud. SI. hai vohom. jntly denied there was anything 'irregular" in his being 30 min utes late to testify in the John Wilson trial last Wednesday. "1 was ready and willing to tes tify then as I have always been ready and willing," he told the Herald and News in an interview at the County Nursing Home where he is presently residing. Cloud said he resented anyone thinking that he deliberately was late in order to escape testifying. Neither did anyone induce him or try to induce him not to take the stand, he declared. "If they had, I certainly would have had no part of it," the state's would-be star witness added. Cloud was found in contempt of court by Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg for his tardiness in Style Show Draws Crowd YREKA Sixty members and guests attended the style show put on by Siskiyou County Cow Belles at Yrcka Inn on June 12. Mrs. Alice Hessig of Montague was program chairman and accompanied Mrs. Alice See, vocalist. Mrs. See and Mrs. Maxine Foote, both of Mon tague, presented tap dance routines and Jerry Ditlner of Yrcka enter tained with Western numbers. The style show carried a Western theme, opening with Shirley Hes sig dressed in a riding habit of the 1890s. Other girls modeling squaw dresses and modern riding clothes were Elma Selby, Barbara Betts, Janice Birdwell. Donna Mays, Jackie Charles, Melanie Dudley, Dorothy Hessig and Mrs. Foote. Small fry styles were also featured in the outfits loaned by Ruby Lee of Red Bluff, Handley's and Bark- low s of Yrcka. National Guard Training Starts PORTLAND (AP) Annual two week summer training programs were started Saturday by Oregon rational Guard units. Some 5.000 members of the 41st Infantry Division left in motor convoys and by train lor Fort Lewis, Wash., where they will join Washington troops in exercises The program will be climaxed by the annual Governors' Day Review June 21st, when the chief executives of the two states will review troops. Some 1,000 members of the Oregon National Guard's 237th Anti-Aircraft Group left for Camp Clatsop, near Astoria. Their Gov ernor's Day Review, is scheduled for June 25. Also starling training Saturday were two units of the Oregon Air National Guard. The 123rd Weath er Flight is at McChord, Wash., Air Force Base. At Hamilton Air Force Base in California is the 244th Airways and Air Communi cations Service Engineers and In stallations Squadron. I showing up at 2:30 p.m., when court was called lor 1 p.m. He was later released oh his own recognizance. At the time, he told the judge his lateness was due to the clock being wrong in a Main Street bar and grill where he had been "having coffee with a couple of fellows." Elaborating on this when asked to in the newspaper interview, Cloud said he had eaten a bowl of soup, a sandwich and had drunk a cup of coffee in the grill por tion of the establishment. Then, he continued, he "dozed off" to sleep. When he awoke, he said, he remarked immediately to two cas ual acquaintances sitting with him that "I'm going to be late for court." Cloud said the two men, whose names he didn't know but with whom he had briefly picked po tatoes last year, told him not to worry, that the clock in the grill was 20 minutes fast. This is the excuse Cloud gave in the courtroom. A check of the bar and grill clocks, however, showed they were the same as that the court. When asked why he became sleepy in mid - day, Cloud re plied he had been receiving modi cine for his nerves and held that at least partly responsible. Court room spectators noticed Cloud fre- quently dozing, or appearing to doze, during previous days ot the trial. Employes in the grill Cloud re ferred to confirmed his presence there Wednesday afternoon. Cloud, who has an arrest rec ord for drinking, said he had had nothing to drink at all on wednes day, that as a matter of fact, he has had "hardly anything" to drink since he was hospitalized last November 4. The man said he feels "pretty good" now but that his right leg is still "pretty sore." He w a s treated for a broken leg, broken wrist and other injuries last No vember in a local hospital. The state, represented by Dis trict Attorney Arthur Beddoe, asked for a dismissal of charges that ex-policeman John Wilson caused some of the injuries on the night of November 3 with a black jack. Beddoe s motion, which- was granted, came immediately after Cloud, his main witness, was held in contempt. However, Cloud would have been available to icsuty, Beddoe had called him. The jury was in the jury room and out of the courtroom when Cloud was fnunrl in contempt by the judge. Wilson resigned from the police force effective Friday in the in tercsts of .the department. -.- OPEN i, : SATURDAh; & SUNDAY i - J. olice Seek Suspect In Gun Scrape Authorities today had an all points bulletin out for an employe of the Southern Pacific Railroad wanted in connection with the shooting of Elieazar G. Gutierrez. 24. at Algoma late Friday night. State Police report that they ere notified by Klamath Valley Hospital authorities at 11:50 p.m. Friday that a gunshot victim had been entered for treatment. Investigation revealed that Gut ierrez had been shot in the abdo men with a .22 caliber pistol. Police are looking for Gregorio Momellono who is reported to have fired the shot. Reports indicate that Gutierrez watked into the line of fire. Montellono is reported to have fled the scene of the shooting in a yellow 1954 Ford bearing Oregon license number 7M-7M8. Hospital attendants listed Gutier rez's condition as "very good" Saturday. ONE WAY TO HELP keep tourist trade booming in the Klamath area is to give travelers all the information pos sible on what to do, what to see, where to stay, etc. That's why the chamber of commerce hung out the big sign above, advising tourists its office will be open on Saturday and Sunday during the coming season. This area's gas sta tion attendants have also been briefed on answering tour ists' questions. ' Court Ends Grant Lands Litigation WASHINGTON (AP)-U.S. Dist. Judge Matthew F. McGuire has signed an order ending a series of legal actions involving Oregon & California grant lands in 17 Western Oregon counties. It terminated a case brought by the counties in 1955 against Inter ior Secretary Seaton. They had asked distribution ot timber rev enues involved In a controversy between the Fort Service and the Bureau of Land Management. A. W. Lafferty, a former Oregon congressman, said in court the case was the last in a series which have been through district court, the Court of Appeals and the U.S Supreme Court during the last six years. The covcrnment moved for dis missal on the ground that the action had become moot when the money was distributed to the counties. Laffertv. as intervenor, success fully resisted inclusion of the words "as moot" in the dismissal, on the ground that the case had never been brought to trial.
