Jury Convicts Jones Of Assault
Royal Jones, 37, who wounded
his wife three times in a gun
shooting Dec. 18. was convicted of
assault with a dangerous weapon
by a circuit court jury which delib
erated five hours and 4V minutes
before returning the verdict of
guilty to Judge David R. Vanden
bcrg, 11:45 p.m., Friday. Sentence
will be pronounced at a later date.
The jury of eight women and
four men voted 10-2 for the guilty
verdict with two men opposing the
majority.
At 4:18 p.m., the jury began its
deliberations, which were inter
rupted by dinner and, later, a re
quest it made to Judge Vanden
berg for additional instructions on
the law covering self defense.
- Purine the trial, the defense at
tsrney sought to prove that Jones
shot his wife, Johnnie Mae, in self
defense after she struck at him
w Kb. an ice pick. One of the blows
flicked Jones' hat, and the other
caused a superficial wound on his
chest. Conversely, Mrs. Jones tes
tified that she struck Jones witli
the ice pick after he shot her
twice with bullets discharged from
a .22 caliber pistol.
The trial closed at tlic end of its
fifth day, following the closing
statements of District Attorney
Dale Crabtrce and the defense at
torney. The latter, alluding to the
stories of

& LIGHT COMPANY
premise that Jones had acted in
self defense, argued before the
jury that a person has the
right to use whatever reasonable
force is necessary to repel force.
The district attorney pointed out
later in his final statements that
Jones had acted wilfully and not
in self defense when he stood over
his wife and fired a bullet into
her head.

Grocer Store Operator
Found Suicide At Home
Vandalism
Costs High
Vandalism of road signs in
Klamath County during December
and January has cost the taxpay
ers $!22, according to a report
Irom the county engineer s office.
The sum represents the cost to
the county of restoring damaged
signs or replacing road markers
which have been used as targets
by malicious users of firearms,
said Winston Kurth, assistant
county engineer.
Kurth said tlie cost to repair
replace road sign damage
was slightly higher during the
past two months than it was for
the same period in 1901. The w in
ter season usually results in an
increased amount of vandalism to
signs, particularly in the suburban
areas, he said.
County road signs are made In
the sign shop ot the County Road
Department and cost about $12 and
up, depending upon the size of the
sign and the variety of materials
used to construct one. A street
name marker costs about $12.50
to paint, assemble and set up,
Kurth said.
Population Up
WASHINGTON (CPU - Tlie
population of the L'nilcd States
has risen by nearly 8 million
since tlie ISfiO census to an esti
mated total last Jan. 1 of 187,293.
000, the Commerce Department's
Census Bureau said Saturday.
The bureau said the figure does
not include U.S. servicemen sta
tioned abroad. It represents an
increase of 7,970.000, or 4 4 per
cent, over the figure for April 1.
10. the announcement said.
sembly is to introduce Hi-Y and
Tri-Hi-Y to the principals and
methods of the YMCA Youth and
Government program affording an

ing process, to participate in the
election of state officers and to

cipals of state government.
Seven bills were presented by at
tending youths and serving as
committeemen in the discussion of
the bills were Don Christy, Re
becca Pierson, Roy Marvin and
Charles Ochs.

newal of operator's licenses,
