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

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.

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.
