ASSAULT AND (Continued From Pngs Ono) vlcted Merriman, calling attention to the fact that upon conviction the offense carried a fine of up to 91.000 and imprisonment in jail up to six month*. Berates Witnesses Defense counsel H. 11. McClenahan. who in his final arguments termed the defendant a "Godfearing man" wfto served a* "Sunday school teacher, trustee and treasurer" of the Salem Methodist church, attacked the truthfulness of the complaining witnes*. He recalled that Teeple had "changed" hl* injury allegedly Inflicted by Merriman's hand, on which he swore a corn-pick "from the left Hide of hi* head to the back of hi* head." Os Mis* Lillie Teeple. the prosecuting witness' sister — whom he said “you will remember went yackaty yackatyyack — and kept talking so much no one could stop her to make her the most unusual witness I have ever seen in my practice" — the counsel contended even though she had bathed the “wound" could not describe its location on her brother's head to the JuryAttorney .McCletiahan declared that the law "gives anyone the right to repel an aggressor even to the extent of taking a life when one knows hi* life, property or loved ones to be endangered." He contended Merriman struck Teeple in self-defense. Takes Extra Day The suit moved into today when the attorneys were able only to complete the submission of evidence Tuesday. Last witness on the stand was Albert Duvlson. called by the prosecutor in rebuttal. Then Judge J. Fred Fruchte adjourned the trial until this morning. Merriman testified in his own defense late Tuesday afternoon, describing in detail the disagreements of the two men in farming the land and defending his stand In striking Teeple. He refused to quote Teeple's alleged use of profanity during the altercation, declaring that "1 am a church man." A similar suit of assault and battery against Merriman, upon an affidavit signed by Miss Teeple. was scheduled to be tried today. Prosecutor Bierly, said it would likely lie continued Indefinitely upon agreement of counsel."

’ Soviet Boycott Os Conference Likely Likely To Shun Jap Reparation Parley Washington, Oct. 23 (1 P> ~~ , Official quarters expressed belief todsy that llussla will boycott the proposed International conference on Japanacxe reparations. Nevertheless, It was said, the fsr eastern commission I* expected to set a date for the conference at it* forthcoming meeting here regardles* of Hovlet action. It was conceded that a Russian r boycott would delay Allied agree--11 mvnt on peace term* for Japan * and hamper Gen. Douglas MacArthur's efforts to put the defeated nation back on It* feet. » The belief that Ru»sla might p boycott the reparations conferI ence was linked with her distaste ; for American demand* that milt lion* of dollars of Industrial equipment removed from Manchuria by the Red army be sub- . traded from reparation* grant* S finally made to the Soviet*. S Russia. It was learned, has j steadfastly refused to budge from ) her position that the Mamhurian ) equipment was "war booty” and j Pence not deductible from her -, reparation*. ■ The deciHlon to call the reparation* conference at an early i date, it wa* understood, was the result of repeated appeals from MacArthur. The Allied supreme commander informed the commission that much of the Industrial equipment from which reparations must he drawn is exposed to the weather in bombed out faci torle*. and is fast deteriorating. i Meanwhile, it was reported that i reparations ambassador Edwin I W Pauley is drafting two secret me moranda for President Truman which may serve as a basis for . Allied reparation demands on ! Japan. One document, officials said. I* a detailed account of the Russian | Industiral removal* from Man churia. where Pauley recently visited. The other consist* of a 1 study of Japanese industrial fa cillties whic h can be removed as 1 reparations. Pauley, In a preliminary statement, said Russian removals from ‘ Manchuria has made Inoperative at least 32,000,000,000 worth of in- ® dustrial facilities. The Russian ■ policy, he reported, was to take vital portions of plants, thereby i destroying productive power. i Asks Declaration Os Sanity Restoration i ~ f A petition by Margaret Ma?
