Thompson Case Goes To Jury
' jMTWfEAPOLlS UPl - A
jury of six men and six women
today resumed deliberations in
the case of T. Eugene Thomp
son, accused of having his wife
murdered or $1 million insur
ance money and love of a mis
tress. The jurors deliberated tix
hours Thursday without reach
ing a decision.
District Court Judge Rolf
Fosseen ordered the jurors
locked up for (he night in the
Pick-NicoHette Hotel and kept
them from reading or hearing
any accounts of the trial.
Thompson, 35, the short,
6uavo lawyer who was on the
rise in the Twin Cities, was
locked up in jail ifor only the
ninth day since his arrcrt June
21. Fosseen refused a defense
plea to let him remain free on
bond as he had been through
' out the seven-week trial.
Killed Last March
Thompson is accused of ar
ranging with Twin Cities under
world characters to have his
wife, Carol, 34, heiress to a
plumbing fortune, killed in their
home last iMarch 6.
In Minnesota, complicity in
murder is the same as murder
iteff. If Thompson is lound
guilty, he could bo sentenced
to life in prison. The state abol
ished the death sentence nearly
a half-century ago.
Prosecutor William B. Ran
dall told tlic jury not to be mis
led by Thompson's position as
a rising criminal attorney, his
background as an elder in the
Presbyterian Church and a
prominent resident of a fash
ionable St. Paul neighborhood.
Randall's closing arguments
pictured Thompson as "this
happy honeymooner, the church
elder and trustee'' who carried
on a "sordid backstreot life"
v. ith Mrs. Jacqueline Olescn, 27,
and promised tier he would be
free to marry her in 11 months.
Calls Tektimony Questionable
Defense lawyer Hyam Segell
said the state's case was based
on questionable testimony by
"live hoodlums" and with
"more missing links" man
facts.
He asked the jury not to send
Thompson to prison simply be
cause "you can't find a reason
for somebody else killing" Airs.
Thompson.
The judge told the jury to be
"uninfluenced by pity or by
passion and prejudice."

both on the statement attrib
butcd to Airs. Oswald or reports

Portland Druggists Seek
Opinion On Tax Write Off
Ry L'nited Press International
President Jim Mead of the
Portland Itetail Druggists Asso
ciation said Thursday he will
seek a legal opinion on whether
druggists can write off unpaid
claims against the Slate Welfare
Commission as bad debts for tax
purposes.
Tlie Welfare Commission re
cently cut reimbursements to
druggists to alout 63 cents on
the dollar because of a shortage
of funds.
Mead said he was uncertain
what the tax status of the losses
would be because there was no
written contract with the com
mission. A release from the Lane Coun
ty Pharmaceutical Association
said its members will continue
to fill the orders in spite of Ihe
hassle with the state.

Hogg's Margin Less Than Expected
LONDON (L'PP - Science
Minister Quint in Hogg's disap
pointing showing in winning a
Commons seat increased the
concern of Conservative strate
gists today in their planning for
tlie general election campaign
against Labor.
There was jubilation among
Labor officials as the returns
came in showing a sharply re
duced margin of victory for
Hogg, the ormer Lord Hailsha
and an increased margin for La
bor in winning another by-election.
The Laborites also gained
ground in a third race, won by
Conservative Keith Stainton by
a majority considerably less
than that polled by foimer La
bor Minister John Hare in 1939.
Hogg, who resigned his title
to seek a seat in Commons and
put himself in a position to suc
ceed Prime Minister Sir Alec
Douglas-Home as party leader,
chose a safely Conservative dis
trict, tlie .Marylebone area of
London. But his margin of vic
tory was only 5.276 votes, com
pared to the 14,771-vote margin
won by the last Conservative
candidate, Sir Wavell Wakelield
in 1959.
At the same time, Labor's
Charles iMorris, running in an
equally safe seat in the Open
shaw district of Manchester,
won a majority of B.IW2 an in
