was arrested and quoted the de-
frndant. "I've been framed."
I 10 ln's uisinct Attorney rtrtnur
Beddoe remarked in rebuttal ar-
; gument that such was the reaction
of any guilty person, and added
that "we're too busy with crimi
nal cases in this county to frame
anyone.
Both Beesley and co-defense At.
torncy P. K. Puckett made a point
discovery 01
a package of
purported marijuana in Carswell's
pocket occurred in the city po
lice station, although Carswell pre
viously had emptied his pockets in
his car at the time of his ar
rest. "They had already arrested him
for possession of narcotics," Bees
ley said. ''I submit that having ar
rested him for possession of mari
juana, it was darned convenient
that they did find some Ihc sec
ond lime."
Beddoe inlerproled this as an
implication police officers slipped
the package into Carswell's pocket,
and said Hie implication was ab
surd, lie emphasized that t h e
package was found in a corner of
the pockel. The wrapping papers,
which Beddoe said were auto re
pair receipts in Carswell's name,
were passed among jurors, over
delense objections.
Beesley argued that laboratory
tests were inconclusive; Beddoe
said they were conclusive. The de
fense asked where was Finnegan,
the state's key witness who was
I,,. . , ' . ... . .
California, and why were Air
Force personnel not called to ex
plain. Beddoe said the defense
could have called these men it
self, and could have conducted its
own laboratory tests, too, if these
would have helped the defense
case.
Both Puckett and Beesley ob
jected several times to Beddoe's
final arguments "going way be
yond rebuttal." At the close Bees
ley moved for a mistrial on
grounds that (1) the argument
was completely outside thej
Junction.
The motion for mistrial, and the
objections, were overruled.

Klamath County Extension Agent
J. D. Vertrees told delegates to
the twelfth annual California Weed
Conference Wednesday in Sacra
mento that color photography well
done and expertly presented is an
important tool in weed control edu
cation. "Most research, extension, and
commercial people in weed control
work are asked often to give talks
and demonstrations on weed con
trol by farm groups and sales and
research organizations," said Ver
trees. "Color photography of weeds
helps in weed control education.
"Fuzzy, scratched or off-color
slides do more harm in a talk
than no slides at all," he added.

Klamath County's contribution lo
the proposed building of the Eisen
hower Library at Abilene has
reached the 30 per cent mark and
A. M. Collier, appointed local
chairman for the fund drive, hopes
to have the full amount of $800

ment, will contain, when complet
ed, documents of President Eisen
hower's presidency years, his mili
tary career and the private pa
pers of the late Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles in addition to
a vast collection of materials col
lected by other public figures.
Dr. Wayne C. Grover, head of
the Federal Government Archives
Division, says the documents to
be housed in the Eisenhower Li
brary are considered by historians1
to be "the most important single
body of historical material of its
kind in the world."
Diaries ol World War II veter
ans will also have a special place
in the building. j
Part of the 13-acre site for the
Eisenhower Center which will in
clude the library was once a po
tato patch, tended by Ike and his
brothers.

building will match the style of
the Eisenhower Museum across'
the acreage site but will have
four times as much room, 53,000
square feet. '

project is to be raised from resi
dents living in the 50 states.'

Ranchhand
Mother Informs Court
Pale, fragile Ethel Myrtle Rursiki
said in court today her ranch
hand living companion Ihrealened
her baby's lite as he beat it;
against the floor and threatened I
her life if she interfered.
Mrs. Bursik. just turned 21. said;
William Olen Gairson heat Ihe
baby against the floor until it bled
from Ihe mouth, tried to slop
bleeding with a towel, and began
beating it again.
Testimony from Ihe shy, solemn
mother was taken in the district
court preliminary hearing for Gair
.'on. 40-year-old cattle feeder
charged with first degree murder
in the death of Gary Lee Bursik,
Mrs. Bursik's youngest son.
Judge D. E. Van Vactor or
dered Bursik held to the grand
jury at the close of the hearing,
without bond.
At the same time, the judge
scheduled for next Tuesday Gair
son's trials on charges of cruelty
to two babies, Gary Lee Bursik
and his 3-year-old half-brother who
survives, Billie Joe (Jody) Breed
ing.
Mrs. Bursik was brought from
the county jail for today's hear
ing in a well-filled district court
room. She was dressed in an im
maculately pressed blue suit, and
she sat beside a jail matron
her hands folded over a handker
chiefuntil her time came to tes
tify. She answered questions bright
ly, almost proudly.
Both Mrs. Bursik and Gairson
are serving six-month terms for
lewd cohabitation.
District Attorney Arthur Beddoe
asked her to describe events of
last December 17 when Gairson
returned for lunch in their home
on the UI Ranch near Bonanza.
"Bill picked up the baby and
was playing with it for a while,"
she said. "He opened its motilh to
see if it had more teeth, and it
accidentally bit him or something.
"He started swearing."
"And what happened then?"
Beddoe asked.
"It happened so fast he either
dropped the baby or threw the
baby down. He had Ihe baby by
the shoulders, hitting it against the
door. Ho kept saying, 'I'll kill
you! I'll kill you!' "
Mrs. Bursik was uncertain of
how long Gairson had beaten the
baby as she was uncertain of all
times and dales asked of her. She
said Ihe beating lasted "quite a
while."
The baby started bleeding at the
mouth, she said, and Gairson
asked for a towel. He tried to
stop the bleeding.
"Then he began beating the baby
again," she said.
Beddoe asked whelher she at
tempted to stop Gairson. She said
she had asked him to stop, then
tried to make him stop. He threat
ened her.
"What did he say?" Beddoe
asked.
Mrs. Bursik enunciated slowly,

They look Ihe baby to a doctor

said. Gairson told her, "Kthcl, I
think I ujupped the hahy real
bad. If he dies. I'll get the elec
tric chair."
The hahy was dead on arrival
at a doctor's office in Malin.
Atlorney Warren Lesseg of Med
ford, representing Gairson, ques
tioned Mrs. Gairson about the ver
sion of Ihe healing she had given
police. She admitted she had first

Asked why she had first given

story, she said, "I was afraid of
Bill."
