POINT IN TRIAL
Expert Says Wife's Death
Could Have Been Ac
cident, Wound Studied
By DAN BOWERMAX
lulled Press Staff Correspondent
SAN JOSE. Cel.. Sept 1. (UP)
Allene Thorpe Lamson probably
died in an accidental fail when
her head etruck a flat aurface.
Dr. R. Stanley Kneeshaw testi
fied todsy at the trial of her
husband, David Lamson, ac
cnaed ot murdering her.
Lamson, sales manager of the
Stanford University Press, Is ac
cused ot killing his wHe by
cruahlng her head with blows
from an,. Iron pipe.
Pipe Theory Scouted
Blows from a pipe would be
unlikely to cause the type of
skull fractures that killed Mrs.
Lamson. Dr. Kneesaw testified.
"The Injuries are typical of
what wa call an explosion frac
ture, such a results from con
tact with a flat surface," he
continued.
Hla testimony was the first In
support ot a theory ot acciden
tal death that Defense Attorney
Edwin Rea had been able to in
troduce. Dr. Kneeshaw aald hla exam
inations had convinced him that
David Lamson was Innocent.
"Do you say It la Impossible
that thos wounds could not be
produced by that pipe in the
hands ot a man weighing 180
pounds?" Prosecutor Herbert
Bridges asked.
"I would aay It would be ex
tremely unlikely," the witness
replied.
"Would yon let me try It
over the bsck ot your head?"
the prosecutor asked.
"No, but I'd make a wager
with you It yon wanted to try
It on someone else."
Potato Crop Not
Injured Much by
First Frost Here
Klamath county's bumper
potato crop will not be greatly
Influenced by the heavy frosts
of Thursday morning, according
to County Agent O. A. Hender
son, who stated that possible
frost damage was tal-en Into con
sideration when early crop pre
dictions were made.
Previous to September 1 the
Klamath Basin, with tha pos
sible exception of Tule Lake,
had been virtually tree from
frost damage, therefore the con
dition of the potato crop was
very good. Henderson doclared.
Although yields may be ourtalled
In some areas where planting
was very late, the general con
dition of the Klamath potato
orop remains unchanged.
Killing frosts are always ex
pected between the first and
10th ' of September, Henderson
said, and freeslng of the potato
vines only eerves to harden and
mature the tubers, making them
ready tor later digging.
Truck gardens In tbe basin
were badly damaged, but that la
usual for this time of year, ac
cording to the county agont.
Some potato digging for outside
shipments has already begun, but
the bulk of the crop which will
be stored will not be dug until
after the first ot October.

WELLE8LET - HILLS, Mass.,
Sept t. (UP) A fascist dicta
torship tor tha United Statee waa
forecast today by Roger W. Bab
son. statistician, who predicted
the stock market collapse of

the blue eagle of the NRA as
Its symbol, would result from
the wrath of the mlddli classes,
aroused by the current conflict
over redistribution of wealth.

It Is being crystallised." he
said, "by the immediate conflict
between capital . and labor, be
tween unionism - and the onen
shop. Neither group . will be
victorious.. The mlddla classea
wilt ataad .thi conflict only for
a limited period. Then,, due to
depreciated currency and higher
prices, they will themselves take
charge of the situation with
temporary dictatorship. This
dictatorship will take- the form
of fascism.",
Babson, making hi predic
tion at the concluaion of the
10th annual national business
conference here, pointed signifi
cantly to the disbelief which
met his forecast ot the 1020
panic
"In 128 and 1929." he de
clared, when my Wall street
friends were hailing a 'new era
of prosperity,' you know that
