Iowa (AP) "Operation Ghost" was conducted at the William Meyers farm house near Guttenberg Friday night but failed to turn up any explanation for the strange goings-on that forced the family to move out, Two university professors and 10 students stayed in the house all night armed with Geiger count ers, oscilloscopes, an ionization chamber, and an electrometer. Prof. Jack Lorenz of Upper Iowa University, in charge of the group, said the investigation indi cated everything was normal. About 15 newsmen also were in the house during the night. Some of them took turns lying on the bed from which a 265-pound Gut tenberg man reported he had been thrown mysteriously Wednesday night. Nothing happened while the newsmen were on the bed. The Meyers family moved out last month because they said ob jects were being tossed around for no apparent reason.

MILLER CO. 7th ond Klamath OLDSMOBILE CADILLAC - HILLMAN Ph. 4-4154 LOS ANGELES (AP)-Was the pistol that killed Barbara Jean Finch snatched from her own hand? An expert witness for the pro secution admits it's possible. The autopsy surgeon who de scribed how a pistol shot killed Mrs. Finch acknowledged Friday Under cross-examination that a small wound on her right hand could have been caused when a pistol was wrenched from her grasp. Dr. R. Bernard Finch's attorney borrowed an unloaded revolver from a sheriff's deputy to show the court how he thought one of a score of wounds on her body could have been caused. Dr. Finch and his 23-year-old mistress, pretty Carole Tregoff, are charged with murder and con spiracy in the death of the 36-year-old socialite last July 18. The trial is in recess for the weekend. The handsome physician hasn't yet told his version of what hap pened the night his wife was killed. Does his attorney's contention about the pistol mean Dr. Finch will say he grabbed the pistol from his wife and that her death was accidental? Defense Attorney Grant Cooper ordered like other counsel not to tell the press of his plans would say only: "We have a lot more questions for Dr. Ridge." It was Dr. Gerald K. Ridge who testified what his autopsy on Mrs Finch showed. Ho said she suffered more than 20 wounds ranging from the fatal pistol shot' to two skull fractures and an assortment of lacerations, bruises and abrasions. The state contends Dr. Finch and Miss Tregoff came to the $65,000-Finch home in suburban West Covina last summer to carry out a plot to slay Mrs. Finch so the doctor and Miss Tregoff wouldn't have to share an esti mated $750,000 in community property with her. Dr. Ridge said he believed Mrs, Finch suffered a skull fracture in the family garage where blood was found on her car and the garage floor. He said she apparently was shot after she fled from the garage possibly she ran down a flight of steps to a neighbor's lawn. He said that the bullet passed through her body and severed the pulmonary artery, causing death from a massive hemorrhage. As she fell, he said, she ap parently struck her head on an iron pipe buried in the lawn as a tree support, suffering a sec ond fracture. Cooper gave his first indica tion of what may be a key in his defense by quizzing Ridge about the abrasion on Mrs, Finch's hand, between her fore finger and thumb. He asked Ridge: "Assuming an individual held a .1, .1 HANS NORLAND, right, is shown receiving a plaque com memorating 25 years continuous representation of the North western Mutual Insurance Company from Philip E.

Basin Relics (Continued from Page 1) used for a time in a side show where it was exhibited for 10 cents a look. It is impossible to deter mine the truth of this charge. "Side show or not, eventually the remains were taken to the museum of the surgeon general's office in Washington, reduced to a skeleton and for many years was displayed as a specimen of Indian anatomy: "Jack's body arrived at Yreka only about one jump behind news of his execution. An ambitious re porter had hired relays of horses between Fort Klamath and Jack sonville. "AS SOON as the Indians were dead, he started riding for the nearest telegraph station. Whea ton (an Army officer) had pre pared his reports in advance and the reporter took the official no tices along with his newspaper story. "By half past seven on Friday night', this 1873 - model pony ex press rode into Jacksonville and sent the story to the Army and the waiting public in Yreka and over the entire country." The book was published last year. It was written by Keith A. Murray, formerly a ranger at Lava Pods National Monument, scene of the bloodiest portion of the Modoc War. Murray is an instructor at West ern Washington, College of Educa tion at Bellingham. Even high and scholarly author ity can't verify any story's authen ticity.

T. Newman of our division of physi cal anthropology. "DR. NEWMAN states that al though there is no mention of the disposition of the bodies in the biographies published in 'The Handbook of American Indians' (page and volume references followed) it Is probable that the skulls of these four Indians are now in the national museum. "An old catalogue of specimens in the Army Medical Museum lists seven Modoc crania. Four of these were received from Surgeon H, McElderry, U.S. Army, Fort Klamath, in 1873. "The names of the Indians are not mentioned in the records, so that their skulls can't be iden tified. But the circumstantial evi dence points to their being the skulls of Captain Jack, Schonchin John, Black Jim and Boston Charlie." ' The letter also stated that the Army Medical museum made no mention of skeletons from local Indians preserved there. It continued: "In all probabil ity, the bodies were buried, pos sibly at the fort after the execu tion, and only the skulls sent to the museum." THE DISPLAY, arranged by Benjamin Swartz, curator, also contains the last flag to fly over the old fort, donated by the local American Legion post; links al legedly from manacles which held the condemned chief, lent from the Harry H. Van Valkenburg collec tion of Ashland; other photos from the Ogle collection and some from the Lawrence C. Miriam collection of Salem. One photo also triggered another controversy. Most authorities iden tify the three captives pictured as Jack, Schonchin and Boston Charlie. But Jeff C. Riddle, in a book published in 1914, "Indian History of the Modoc War," says the ragged-looking trio Is Curly-Haired Jack, William Faithful and Buck skin Doctor. Riddle was the son of Frank Riddle, husband of Winema, In dian heroine of the Modoc War, Jawaharlal Nehru has been prime minister of India for 12 years, ever since the Asian nation gained its independence in 1947.
