No other person appeared in sight The bodies, although not explicit ly identified in the testimony were thuse ot Harry Deman, 36, and Okie Richards, 34. whom Jo. scph is charged with killing with a 30-30 rillc. Joseph, a 52-year- old mason and ranchhand, is on trial on the first of two murder charges. Under questioning by Attorney David Card. Horner examined two photographs of the bodies and dis agreed with the position of the bodies in relation to knives shown in the photographs. He said the arm of one body was shown closer to a knile than when he had seen the body a diflerence of two feet away compaied to six or seven inches away in the photo graph, Ol the photograph of the other body, Horner said the arm was drawn in against the ribs nut outstretched as in the pholo graph. The hand held a knife in the same position as he had seen it, he said. Card and Freeman Murray. Jo seph's court-appointed defense at torneys, maintained Joseph was at tacked by Deman and Richards, carrying knives, and had acted in self defense. District Attorney Ar thur Beddoc earlier told a live woman, eight-man jury the knives were planted. Horner also described parts of a discussion he heard between Jo seph and Chiloquin Police Chief Lewis Jones. He said Joseph told lones Deman and Richards had visited his cabin on the Delbeit Lang ranch once that Sunday, had returned later in the day, and had attempted to attack him. Jones was quoted as saying. "It doesn't look that way to ne." Jones doubted that the men were carrying knives, Horner said, so Joseph pulled back the canvas tarpaulins and demanded. "What the do you call that?" Under questioning by Beddoe. Horner said he had not heard Jo seph ask Jones to "throw the bod ies in the river or some place." but said Joseph did ask Jones "lo clean up the mess." Horner said Joseph complained that Deman and Richards had been stealing his food and nothing vvas done about his complaint. He said Joseph did not mention that a state police officer had visited the ranch to investigate, as Bed doe suggested. Another witness was Pobby Mitchell of Chiloquin. who said one of the state's star witnesses, Ev ans Rcnfro, had told him the day after the shootings of having walked away from the ranch when Joseph and (he others began to argue. Belore the defense presented its first witnesses, Murray moved for dismissal of the indictment and a judgment of acquittal on grounds the state had failed lo prove all the elements of the indictment and lo prove premeditation, and that the state's own case had placed evidence of self defense before the jury. Circuit Judge David R. Vanden berg, hearing the trial now in its second week, denied the motion. Oregon Weather By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 24 hours to 4:30 a.m. Monday Max. .Mln. Prep.

WHITE SWAN - BOB EVANS LA GRACE 5.98 to 16.98 non-hospital medical funds early In March, and had to ask for a sup plemental appropriation to get through the month, but 2. The couniy has a surplus el about $57.oiifl so (ar this year in non-medical funds. The county commission suggest ed bluntly, in a formal resolution, that the state commission "trans fer unexpended balances of non medical funds to the medical budg et beginning at once ..." County Commissioner Frank Ga nong. an ex-ofticio welfare com mission member, said, "It seem ridiculous lo us not to provide 'medical' services within the total budget when it is apparent we'll be within the total budget." The $57,000 surplus has been ac cumulated thus far. The fiscal year does not end until June 30, but it seems lo the county commission there will be a surplus, and it hould be used lo supplement a delicit medical budget. Welfare funds are categorized by Ihe state commission. Even the medical budget is divided into two pans, hospital expenses and non hospital expenses like doctor bills, drug expenses, nursing home op eration, and other costs. Klamath County has been running behind in its medical program. Hospital costs are based on a fixed allocation each month. At the end of each month the hospi tal submits its bill. If the bill is equal lo the allocation, or below it, the bill is paid in full. If it is high er, the hospital is paid on a pro rata basis. In January the hospilal was paid approximately 68 cents on the dollar. The balance of the medical fund is allocated to the commission each month to pay doctors, druggists, and other vendors. In March, Ihe couniy welfare department exhausted its budget by March 7 and actually went $500 in the red. It requested a supple mental allocation from the slate and x given $700, $500 to catch up and $2(KI for life-saving drugs. 11 may buy nuihing more for lha month. In contrast with the partial pay ment to the hospital and the abrupt cut in other medical welfare serv ices, the county continues to main tain a balance in olher welfare de partments. That's why the county commission wants to transfer funds. "We're not dealing wilh t h March problem so much as we are wilh the whole problem," Ga- nong said. "We'd like to see them (the slate commission) take some of this excess money and go back and at least pay for what they've already bought." The action came at a special meeling Friday, called when the county commission learned of the March overdraft. The resolution was signed by Mrs. Richard Smith, chairman of the county commis sion. Ganong said the State Public Welfare Commission had been asked, informally, to make such a transfer in the past. It refused. Several times in the past year, however, the county commission has asked for supplemental appro priations for its medical program. As a rule, we have gotten them, with some delay," Ganong said. The resolution asks not only au thority for an immediate transfer of surplus non-medical funds, but suggests that "at the close of the fiscal year any remaining unex pended balances be used to pay hospital costs incurred since Janu ary not previously paid." Ganong said he felt the couniy commission was providing ade quate medical care, but added, We're prov iding no medical care when we run out of money, and we're not paying for what we do provide when vendors 'such as the hospital) have to settle for 68 per cent of their costs."
