Wednesday, Feb. 17, 19B0 MARKETS Stocks WALL STREET NEW YORK (AP) The stock market wiped out losses and vanced late this afternoon but late profit taking left the pattern mixed. The average may have taincd a small upside edge. Volume for the day was mated at 4,000.000 shares coin ' pared with 3,270,000 Tuesday. It was one of the heaviest trad. ing days of the year and brokers said it might have been a selling climax to Uie relentless, quiet dine that has taken place year. Some key stocks still showed losses of fractions to about . points but many had canceled de clines and quite a few showed . moderate gains. Union Carbide was about points lower while Westinghouse Electric and Merck were down more than a point. U.S. government bonds were firm. NEW YORK STOCKS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Admiral Corporation A.

Murchison of Portland. The morning session of the trial was devoted to selecting a jury from a 40-member panel. A jury had been tentatively selected, prior to preemptory challenges, at 11 a.m. Jackson is accused of pointing a 22 caliber revolver at his aged grandmother, Mrs. Anna May Cop perfield, during a family fight at Mrs. Coppcrficld's home. The 23- year-old defendant was arrested on two other charges at the same time, December 21. A charge of lewd cohabitation against Jackson and Bernadine Dickens, 18, was dismissed Febru ary 2 in district court on ground the state had failed to show suf ficient proof. Jackson and Miss Dickens, who both lived at Mrs Copperfield's home, were married in Reno January 23. A second charge, that of as sault and battery upon Mrs. Bertie Joe, was heard by a district court jury February 4. Jackson was con victed and subsequently paid $250 fine. Attorney Robert Redding, who represented Jackson in all three legal actions, moved last Tuesday to disqualify Judges David R. Van- denberg and Charles H. Foster on ground Jackson could not receive a fair and impartial trial. Judge Murchison was assigned to the case Monday and flew here Aid Sought By Clerk The county clerk's office seeks persons interested in emergency work during the primary election May 20.

The judge was appoint ed to the circuit bench in Port land last August after serving eight years as a police judge Portland. A future court action involving Jackson comes up for hearing March 2 in the State Supreme Court. There Jackson is appealing a district court conviction of last June 24 on another assault and bnttery charge. Jackson was found guilty of beating Alberto Sapiens in May after the two men left a tavern together. He was sen tenced to 30 days in jail and was fined $250. He appealed the con viction in circuit court and again was found guilty and given the identical sentence and fine. It was then that the case was appealed to the supreme court. The case will be argued in Salem by Redding and Deputy District Attorney O. W. Goakey. The assault charge being heard today was being prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Ernest Gordon. Police Seek it-Runner A car operated by Fran L. Hales 531 Pacific Terrace, was struck Tuesday evening at the corner of Pine and Ninth streets by car which afterward drove away, city police said. Hales was not injured, but his car was damaged considerably, He told police he was stopped while headed north on Pine to wait for a signal light.

City Juvenile Officer Ray How ard said a truant 13-year-old Klam ath Falls girl turned herself in after a day's absence from school Tuesday afternoon. She was tak en to the juvenile home on re quest of county juvenile officers and later released to her parents Group Asks Warn Light OLENE More than 60 persons have signed a petition requesting a warning light at Oregon-California and Eastern Railway's inter section with Highway 66 here. That was announced by Duncan A. Stewart of Klamath Falls who is in charge of circulating the pe titions. Petitions also are being circu lated in Lakeview and Bly, he said, and anyone who uses the road is asked to sign. Stewart is handling the job for Lost River Grange, which passed resolution recently calling for the petition. He says the crossing has been the scene of many accidents in the past some' serious. The reason, he says, is that the crossings is located near a sharp curve in the highway, and that the tracks on one side are above the road and on the other side, below. Thus, motorists are frequently un able to see the trains, he added. The railway Is used mostly at night by logging trains whose flat cars have no warning lights, Stew art says. He asked the grange for the resolution when he learned recently that the OC 4 E has been granted a five-mile-per-hour increase in maximum speed at the crossing, he said. The petitions, if they are filled, will be sent to the Stale Public Utilities Commission, which then will investigate. One petition is in the hands of Stewart at the Don Potter Ma chincry Company, 2434 South Sixth Street. Mrs. Ernest Parkhurst has another at Cascade Home Furnish- ngs Company, 124 North Fourth Street, and Mrs. C. W. Bates of Bly is circulating one there and in Lakeview. OBITUARY BROWN LAKEVIEW-Orson D.

Defendant Found Guilty rranK u. button, 38, was con victed of contributing to the de linquency of his daughter by circuit court jury that deliberated just 23 minutes yesterday after noon. Sutton, a lumber mill employe, had been accused of making im proper advances toward the girl last July 15. His two-day trial be gan Monday. Circuit Judge David R. Vanden- berg said sentencing would be held at a later date. After the jury had announced its verdict at 3:50 p.m., Defense Attorney Glenn D. Ra- fmirez asked that Sutton be sent to the Oregon Stale Hospital for examination. This request the judge denied. because Sutton had been found cap able of assisting in his own de fense at a sanity hearing here. and because Sutton had been examined by two psychiatrists who testified at his trial. Deputy District Attorney O. W, Goakey prosecuted the case for the state. Chamber Chief Attends Meeting Chamber of Commerce Manaeer R.

You'll Like the Pleasing Sound of Attorney For Dr. Finch 'Cast From Darrow Mold' By JACK V. FOX United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI) The most fascinating character in the spectacular that is the Finch- Tregoff murder trial is not the youthful looking doctor or his statuesque mistress. It is the lawyer for Dr. R. Bernard Finch Grant Cooper, Cooper appears to have won the jury completely. Not perhaps to the extent they will acquit the surgeon. But they will think a long time about handing a set. back to likeable, affable, gentle manly Grant Cooper. Tuesday at the trial he was trying to establish the date of a boating trip. The witness said it was Father's Day. Cooper ap pealed to the courtroom at large "Does anyone know when Fath er's Day is?" And two of the jurors quickly replied it was June 21. Seldom has a defendant gone into a trial with the odds so stacked against him as did Finch. He had cheated on his wife. She was threatening to take much of his money. He went to her home with Carole Tregoff. They waited in the dark for Mrs. Barbara Jean Finch. Finch held the gun that killed his wife. Those are all fads admitted by Finch. But Cooper has fitted them into a pattern that portrays the surgeon as an absolutely innocent man so far as murder is con cerned. And observers at the marathon trial believe he has partly persuaded at least a few of the jurors that the story is true. The trial was in recess today until Thursday. Attorneys con ferred with the judge on his in structions to the jury. The fire works really are over now except for the closing arguments and what a day that will be for Grant Cooper. He must be cast from the same mold as a Clarence Darrow. Aft er this, he is the undoubted suc cessor to ailing and aging Jerry Giesler as the lawyer to the Hoi lywood stars. Three of Giesler s associates represent Miss Tregoff. But they are so overshadowed by Cooper that the prosecution has complain ed that Cooper is defending Carole more than her own attorneys. It was he who persuaded them to put her on the witness stand, She did not come off too well. She fell back on "I don't knows" and "I was just frozen." She is not very smart and she might have been far better off never testifying. But Finch had testified in great detail and with great sincerity. whether real or mock. For the girl to have remained silent would have raised a great doubt in the jury's mind if this pair is com pletely innocent, why doesn't the girl speak up? Cooper is a man in his middle 50's with grey hair still streaked with some black. He wears horn rimmed glasses. He has a face as mobile as Red Skelton's in fact lie could have been a tremendous actor. His figure is trim. He is handsome m a saturnine way. But his great charm is his gcntlemanliness and his softness, amounting almost to tenderness with some witnesses. He treated Marie Anne Lidholm, the Finch's Swedish maid, like a father. She is the most damaging witness for the prosecution. She REDECORATED Office Space $45 Month .

Cooper, as he ques tioned her, had the air of a man who believed every word Marie Anne said. But, gently, he showed her she was perhaps mistaken about sev eral things and that occurrences which looked damning to her might have had a reasonable and innocent explanation. Marie Anne, herself, was fascinated by him. Cooper's attitude toward convict John Patrick Cody was a master piece. He appeared to be quite amused by the con man, ladies' man and his story of hiring cit for murder and blowing the mon ey at the crap table. But he also very plainly appeared not to be lieve a word Jack Cody said. His only match in the trial is co - prosecutor Clifford Crail Cooper was in the district attor ney's office for years himself and the men are old friends outsida court. At the trial, Crail has been infuriated at Cooper's success in presenting a reasonable story. Crail is a mean and nasty in terrogator. He didn t conduct the cross examination of Finch but he cut Miss Tregoff into small pieces in her explanation of going to the home last July 18 and hiding in the bushes after Mrs. Finch was shot. Muster Day Set Sunday Open house at the new armory, 2501 Shasta Way, will be a fea- lure of National Guard Muster Day Sunday. All members of the local Second Gun Battalion, 249 Artillery, will participate, says Lieut. Col. Clif ford L. Sanders, commanding of ficer. The purpose, says Colonel San ders, is "to point out to the people of Klamath County the vital and important role we play as a part of local community life." "We want our citizens to ob serve first hand the vast amount of federal arms and emergency equipment we have, and we want to demonstrate our proficiency in their use." The public is invited to visit the armory any time from 8 a.m. un til 5 p.m. Equipment on display will include the Skysweeper, an electronically controlled antiair craft gun; radar sets, radio and wire communications equipment and many other items. 'Muster Day" dates to the co lonial period when militia mustered during emergency, says Colonel Sanders. The National Guard, a lineal descendant of the colonial militia, revived the custom in 1936, February was chosen for the annual display because George Washington, once a colonel of the Virginia Militia, was born then.
