Murder Trial In Vindup
The basic question in the first
degree murder trial of Leonard
Marvin Lugo whether the man
Lugo killed was armed with a
knife was reviewed in detail at
the close of Lugo's trial Tuesday
Defense Attorney Joseph O,
Stearns of Portland contended that
Joseph Owen Martinez II was car
rying a knife when he and Lugo
walked down an alley last August
31 and Lugo fired six shots into
Martinez' body.
District Attorney Arthur Beddoe
said testimony showed that Mar
tinez was not armed at the time
of the shooting.
These statements were present
ed in closing arguments before a
four-woman, eight-man jury that
was expected to begin deliberations
this afternoon. The trial has been
in session, since January 4.
Final arguments were split into
two days. Beddoe presented the
slate s opening final argument
yesterday afternoon, and was fol
lowed by Defense Attorney Glenn
D. Ramirez with the first half of
the defense statement. Stearns

opened the session with a lengthy
conclusion of the state's case, and
Beddoe followed with the state's
last statement,
Stearns asked the jury to return
a not guilty verdict; Beddoe asked
for a first degree murder convic
tion. Stearns reviewed Lugo's nast
life, which included marriage at
16, a penitentiary sentence for as
sault during which Lugo's wife di
vorced him, and release from the
penitentiary last April.
"We cannot look into his mind,
we cannot look into his heart,"
Stearns told the jury, "but we do
know he was under parole and un
dor constant watch of the law. He
knew that if he made a slip, he
wouia go back behind those gray
wans ... in tear of his life, he
went down and bought that gun,
Stearns conceded that no knife
had been found during police in
vestigation, but he suggested "Mar
tinez could have thrown it any
wncre when that first shot hit him
or that the knife "could have been
lost in moving the body
Beddoe scoffed at the self-do,
fense appeal and told the iurv.
"The defendant is relying on self
protection as an excuse for cold
blooded murder." He reminded the
jury the gun was found on a roof,
and asked "Why, in heaven's
name, did he try to hide the gun
(Martinez) was totally unarmed.'
Stearns, supporting the defense
case, asked if Lugo "would have
gone into a public tavern, with
police at his elbow, with intent
to kill a man?
He also said Lugo was right
handed, but grabbed the gun with
his left hand because "he was
frozen with fear
Beddoe described the walk down
the alley and Lugo's display of a
22 caliber semi-automatic pistol.
"Oh, so this is the way it's go
ing to be," Beddoe quoted Mar
tinez, according to testimony.
Lugo said, 'Yes, this is the way
it s going to be, Beddoe said
Then, bang!"
Ramirez called for a blackboard
as a prop for his closing argu
merit. On it he codified the testi
mony from each of 20 witnesses
13 for the state and seven for the
defense, according to his own in
terpretation of their statements
His classification placed testimony
from almost all witnesses as of
fcring no overbearing testimony for
either state or defense.

Gospel Mission Given Clean Bill
By Klamath Falls Chief Of Police
The Gospel Mission on Walnut
Avenue was given a virtual clean
bill-of-hcalth by Police Chief
Charles Howard at the regular
Monday night meeting of the city
council.
Chief Howard gave the council
a report of comparison of names
of persons registering at the Mis
sion for assistance and those names
appearing on the police blotter for
arrest for drunk or vagrancy,
HOWARD REPORTED that he
had checked 500 names for the
month of October with John Peder
son of the Mission. "About five out
of every 100 were on both lists,
he said.
When asked if this was high or
low, he remarked, "It's very low
I would say that there is little
correlation between the Mission
and our arrest lists."
councilman Walter Fleet re
marked, "Apparently we'll have to
look someplace else for the rea
son for all the guests in our ho
tel."
Chief Howard pointed out to the
council, however, that while the

Says Lawyer
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - A di
vorce lawyer testified today that
.Mrs. Barbara Finch told him her
husband struck her with a gun
and threatened her life two
months before she was shot to
death at her hilltop residence.
Attorney Joseph Forno said Mrs
Finch told him May 16 that she
wanted to press a divorce action
immediately because of what had
occurred the night before.
Deputy District Attorney Clif
ford Crail then asked Forno
"On the subject of fear, will
you tell us now what that con
versation was?"
"Mrs. Finch called and advised
me that Dr. Finch' had assaulted
her, hit her with a gun and threat
ened her life and that she wanted
to proceed immediately with a di
vorce," Forno responded. "She
also asked for a restraining order
m connection with the suit."
Forno said Finch later attempt
ed to persuade his wife to go
through with a reconciliation but
that she told him it was "just a
trick on the doctor's part to get
her back to the house so he could
kill her."
Cecil J. Lushkin of the county
clerk's office identified divorce
papers filed May 21 and also the
will of Mrs. Finch which was
filed for probate.
The distance Dr. R. Bernard
Finch was standing from his wife
the night she was slain is a key
question in the murder trial of
the surgeon and red-haired Carole
Tregoff. The defense is expected
to claim Mrs. Finch was shot ac
cidentally while struggling with
her husband for possession of a
gun she was carrying.

The question of city policemen
carrying deputy sheriff badges was
ni.on a thnrouch airing. Chief
Howard reported to the council
CHIEF CHARLES HOWARD
that three men currently carry
such badges. "One," he said, has
carried a badge since 1943 and has
never used it."
HE STATED that two policemen
carry deputy sheriff badges for
the purpose of patrolling private
lands during the deer hunting sea
son. "These men tane meir vaca
tion at that time," he said, adding
that he had no objection to the
practice.
He did object, however, he said,
to policemen taking jobs as bounc
ers at dances outside the city lim
its. After some discussion the coun
cil adopted a policy which would
permit the juvenile officer, two de
tective sergeants and the three pa
trol sergeants to hold such deputy
sheriff badges if they wished. Also
the council gave Chief Howard au
thority to approve other requests,
providing they were for a specific
purpose and the badges surren
dered following completion of the
job.
Howard indicated that this met
with his approval.
The question of square dancing
on Sunday came before the coun
cil when the Merry Mixers asked
permission to stage their Fifth An
nual Square Dance Jamboree at
the National Guard Armory on
April 16 and 17.
Councilman Floyd Wynne point
ed out that the council was caught
in the middle on this request. "We
have an ordinance prohibiting
dancing on Sunday," he said, "yet
we have always approved this re-.
quest in the past."
IN PREVIOUS YEARS, the
council stated since the dance was
in the National Guard Armory it
did not have jurisdiction. City At
torney Henry Perkins told the
council this was not correct, that
the council had jurisdiction over
everything inside the city limits.
Discussion brought out, however.
that the dance is not open to the
public and there is no admission
charge. Perkins stated he felt that
the ordinance probably would notl
apply to this type of dance.
The matter was put over until
next Monday to enable him to
check this point.
An ordinance covering "closine
out" sales in the city was dis
cussed and tabled until next meet
ing when a representative of the
Klamath Merchants failed to an-
pear for the discussion. Council
man Wynne pointed out that he
preferred the Portland ordinance
on the subject, and that the Klam

Jaycees Pick
2nd Farmer
For Honors
Howard Holiday, who farms in
partnership with his father, Lee,'
was named the second of thret
candidates for this year's Junior
Chamber of Commerce Outstand
ing Young Farmer Award.
Judging will take place during
the 25th annual Jaycees awards
banquet at the Willard Hotel be
ginning at 6:45 p.m. January 22.
Holiday, 35, impressed Jaycees
with forward-looking techniques he
uses in coping with heavily alkali
land and with the records he keeps
of cattle productivity, on his ranch
near the Weyerhaeuser mill.
Since 1947 when the partnership
was formed, the Holidays have
boosted alfalfa yield to a wallop
ing five and two thirds tons per
acre on the 120 acres they reserve
for that purpose.
Proper irrigation practices and
good crop rotation is the secret
to high yield, they say. The Holi
days fertilize only lightly.
Cattle records the Holidays keep
are so complete local farm bureau
members are adopting the method,
the Jaycees say. Last year 94 per
cent of their heifers calved. The
herd numbers more than 100 head
The partners experiment fre-'
quently with their land in coopera
tion with the county farm agent's
office. They have cleared 100 acres
of their 800 acres of . range land
since 1947 and use that land for
experimental purposes.
The younger Holiday has a wife,
Barbara, and three children. He is
a charter member of the local'
Farm Bureau chapter, is past pres
ident of the Klamath County chap
ter of Young Farmers, and is as
sistant 4-H club leader.
