Haines Jury
Finds Guilt
in Slaying
Jerry Richard Haines, 24, gun
slayer of his pregnant wife, Chris
tine, last Dec. 17, was judged
guilty of involuntary manslaugh
ter by a seven-woman, five-man
jury, which deliberated five hours
and 15 minutes before returning
its verdict to Judge David R.
Vandcnbeig in circuit court,
10:03 p.m., Wednesday.
The vote was 10-2 with two men
opposing the verdict. Judge Van
denberg set March 6 as the time
he would sentence Haines on the
charge which carries a maximum
penalty iof 15 years' imprison
ment. The case went to the jury at
3:27 p.m., Wednesday, during the
sixth day of the trial. The jury
deliberated until 5:40 p.m. when
it recessed for supper and then
resumed its deliberations at 6:57
p.m., remaining in session until
it reached a verdict about three
hours later.
Haines had been charged with
the first degree murder of his
wife at the victim's home, 3663
Clinton Avenue, Dec. 17. The
shooting is alleged to have oc
curred as Haines was talking with
his brother-in-law in Ohio in
the presence of Christine. Haines
became annoyed when Christine
refused to talk to his brnther-in-
Inw and began fil ing a .22 caliber
pistol he removed from his belt.
One of the bullets struck Mrs.
Haines and she died later that eve
ning at Klamath Valley Hospital.
Haines said during the trial
that the shooting was accidental
The defendant stated he was firing
at the floor 'when the 12-pound
trigger pull of the double-action
pistol caused him to lift the gun
slightly upwards. At that moment
the gun discharged and the bul
let struck Christine standing on
the opposite side of the room, he
said.

Moss Slaps
FPC Battle
WASHINGTON IUPD - Rep,
John E. Moss, D-Calif., today con
demned what he termed efforLs
to create a "personal vendeta"
between Federal Power Commis
sion Howard Morgan and other
members of the commission.
Moss came to Morgan's defense
after the latter was charged with
being evasive and dishonest by a
Republican member of a House
special investigating subcommit
tee looking into FPC procedures.
"Any effort to turn this into a
personal vendetta is a disservice
to Morgan and the rest of the
commission," Moss said.
Rep. John B. Bennett, R-Mich.,
questioned Morgan's honesty dur
ing a heated session of the sub
committee after Morgan was
asked to explain criticisms of the
FPC made in a letter to Presi
dent Kennedy.
Moss, who spoke only briefly at
the hearing, came to Morgan's de
fense as the committee prepared
to go into its second day of hear
ings based chiefly on Morgan's
letter.
"I regard the letter as an hon
est expression of the convictions
of a man who has spent many
years in studying the problems of
regulation," Moss said.
He said Morgan had made a
"very eloquent" defense of his
views during the heated exchange
of the first day of what might
stretch into a three-day hearing.
Morgan, both in the letter and
before the committee, charged
that regulatory agencies such as
the FPC were not doing an ade
quate job of protecting the public
against powerful corporations. But
he repeatedly denied that he was
making a personal attack on other
members of the FPC.
In the letter the former Oregon
public utilities commissioner said
he would not accept reappoint
ment to the commission when his
term expires in June.
Bennett, who branded Morgan's
letter as "gobbledygook." accused
Morgan of in eflect telling Ken
nedy that the other members of
the commission were "a bunch of
low-level, conformist, timid peo
ple" w ho were "doing a dang poor
job."

Howell Appling Jr. and State
Trcasu-flr Howard Belton over
ruled Hatfield, organized labor
filed suit in Marion County Cir
cuit Court.
Atty. Gen. Robert . Thornton
and Asst. Atty. Gen. C. L. Mars-
ters were to appear before
a three-judge panel this afternoon
with a motion asking dismissal of
the suit.
The suit is scheduled to b e
heard before judges peorge R.
Duncan. George A. Jones, and
Val D. Sloper on March 12.
Reasons Given
The attorney general's motion
will claim the "proceedings con
stitute a suit against the State
of Oregon and that the State of
Oregon has not waived its sov
ereign immunity to be sued, and
therefore the court does not have
jurisdiction."
The suit was brought by James
T. Marr, executive secretary of
the AFL-CIO, and Charles Wcste-
gard, secretary of the Salem
Building and Construction Trades
Council.
Organized labor brought t h e
suit because it felt construction
of stale facilities should be ac
complished by "free labor."
Appling and Belton said it would
cost the state $18 million a bien
nium if use of convict and in
mate labor were outlawed in slate
institutions.
Appling and Belton fear that if
organized labor wins the suit, the
slate could be prevented from
using all wards in its institutions
in various jobs. They claim such
a decision would not apply only
to prison labor.
Governor Won't Comment
Hatfield vigorously disagrees,
and refused to comment on the
$18 million cost filed by Appling
and Belton afler they made a
survey of all slate institutions.
