BB vtmm m. oimb Statement Refuted Intense questioning about State's Exhibit Y a statement murder suspect Michael Joseph dictated but did not sign boiled flito con troversy in Joseph's murder trial Wednesday. District Attorney Arthtir Beddoe compared Joseph's trial testimony of Tuesday with the statement dic tated in Beddoe's office the day alter Joseph was arrested for first degree murder in othe shooting deaths of Harry Beman, 56, and Okie Richards, 34, last September 20. Each time Beddoe proposed a question alter comparing his trial testimony nutcs with the typed statement, he and Joseph raised voices and pitched nearer and nearer a verbal battle. At least six times in the last hour of Tues day's trial session. Joseph vigor ously, then passionately, denied remarks Beddoe attributed to him from Ihe written statement. Finally. Joseph flared: "I deny that statement that so-called state ment. I deny the way it was wrote and 1 deny the way it's misconstrued. I deny the whole statement." Beddoe accused Joseph of evad ing answers and of giving wan dering testimony. Several times he asked Circuit Judge David R V'andenbcrg to instruct the witness lo give direct answers. At one point Freeman Murray, one of Joseph's two defense attor neys appointed by Ihe court, ac cused Beddoe of putting words in Joseph's mouth. Joseph retaliated. He won't put any words in my mouth, don't worry about llial." The disputes centered on many points. The first occurred immed iately when Beddoe asked Joseph if his true name were not Michael Joseph Godfrey. Joseph said both names were true names, and said he had dropped the Godfrey about five years ago.

It was wonderful. But Athens had an enemy. The enemy was Sparta. The Spartans were rough, tough and competent. They too had slaves in that period of the world captives were war booty. But they kept their slaves busy at CON'. STRUCTIVE tasks such as tilling Ihe fields, growing crops, etc. The Spartans busied themselves with athletic exercises calculated to fit them for war. No playing in the sun for them. Let's make it short. The rough, lough, competent Spartans conquered the easy-going, luxury-loving Athenians and Ihe Golden Age of Athens came to an end. That, I think, is the point Mayor Christopher was seeking to maks in his speech after he got back from Russia. County Court (Continued from Page 1) taxed as a ranch. Taylor said St. Germain owns an amphitheater at Shasta Springs, with which the assessor's office has no quarrel as a tax exempt property. But he said the amphi. theater is surrounded by 153 acrei of land, which he feels is unneces sarily tax exempt. Siskiyou County levied taxes of some $40,000 against St. Germain for the years 1953 through 1956. St. Germain brought the present suit in 1957 for recovery of those taxes. Considerable Significance Determination of the issue is expected to bear considerable sig nificance in interpretation of tax exemptions for religious purposes in California and possibly else where. Superior Judge James M. Allen, hearing Ihe trial without jury, ruled last year that Mrs. Ballard must appear with financial rec ords after having been subpoen aed by the state. She declined on grounds she was a resident of Chi cago, not Siskiyou County, and therefore was not subject to sub poena. Judge Allen's ruling that she must appear was sustained by the California Supreme Court. The stale is represented by Dep uty District Attorney Michael Hen nessey. Four auditors, Iwo from St. Ger main and two from the county, are rev iewing St. Germain books whila the trial is in progress.
