Top Oscar Awards To Hayward, Niven HOLLYWOOD <UPD — Flamehaired Susan Hayward and suave 1 David Niven, two veterans of i movie making, reigned today as 1 the best actress and actor of i 1958. ’ | Miss Hayward, 39, a four-time • loser, was honored for her per- ’ formance in “I Want To Live” by the Motion Picture Academy j of Arts and Science? at its 31st 1 annual Academy Awards presentation Monday night while a real- •’ life drama quietly unfolded at the 1 .theater as police checked out a 1 false bomb threat. 1 Niven, 49, was honored for his 1 role in “Separate Tables." ' “Glgi,” a technicolor musical based on the novel by French authoress Colette, was named the i best film and garnered nine Oscars. j One honorary award put the awards bestowed on “Gigi" at 10 to place it in a tie with all-time award winner “Gone With The Wind” in 1939. “Hie Best Years , of Our Life” won nine awards in 1 1946. Win Supporting Awards Burl Ives, folksinger-turned-ac-tor, was named best supporting actor for his role in “The Big Country” and England’s Wendy Hiller was voted best supporting actress for her portrayal in “Separate Tables.” Vincente Minnelli won a golden statuette for his direction of i “Gigi.” The song “Gigi” from the picture of the same name also captured an Oscar, as did the film’s musical scoring by Andre Previn and its screen play as based on material from another medium by Alan Jay Lerner. , “Gigi” also won Oscars in the categories of art direction, costume design, film editing and cinematography. “Gigi” was one of the few musicals to win an Oscar as the best 1 picture. The last musical to win Was “American in Paris” in 1951. The best story and screenplay award 'went to Nathan E. Doug- ' las and Harold Jaccb Smith for ' “Hie Defiant Ones,” a tense story of two prisoners—a Negro and a white—who escaped police while handcuffed together. Ovation For Ingrid French star Maurice Chevalier 1 was honored for his “many contributions to show business” with] a special award and producer; Jack L. received the Ir- > ing Thalberg Award for his contributions to the production of mo-! i tion pictures. The award is pre- . sented only when the academy 1 feels it is merited. 1 Actress Ingrid Bergman, returning to Hollywood after a 10- . year absence touched off by her romance with director Roberto Rossellini, received a thunderous , ovation at the awards program | when she appeared to present the i best picture award. ; The Oscar winners were all pre- , ’ program favorites. There were no surprises. 1 j Police said they received an 1 '.anonymous telephone ’call shortly i before the slated two-hour nation-' 1 ally televised awards program : started at 10:30 p.m. e.s.t. * Crowd Is Unaware Emergency fire equipment was j : taken to the Pantages Theater i ■whert 2,800 of the film industry’s, , outstanding stars and technicians | were jammed to witness and par-' , ticipate in the glittering event. j A small force of policemen,, I firemen and theater personnel' ) conducted a quiet hour and a halfl search which failed to turn upl jany bomb. | “I doubt if anyone in the the-, 1 ater knew anything was amiss ex- ; cept the people involved,” said Sgt. William K. Daniels; he said the caller threatened the bomb J ' would go off at 11:30 p.m. e.s.t.; “This industry has been so good to me I don’t know what to do in return,” said the thankful Miss 1 Hayward whose previous nomina--1 tions came for her roles in the films “Smash-up,” “My Foolish > Heart,” “With a Song in My . Heart” and “I’ll Cry Tomorrow.” Niven, who in real-life was a British army officer both before embarking on his acting career and during World War H. finally won his Oscar for his part as a sensitive — but fraudulent- British army officer. I ' Cherry Blossom Festival Opened ■ WASHINGTON (UPI) — The national Cherry Blossom Festival —the capital's traditional salute to spring—opens officially today with the trees in their full glory. Late winter freezes delayed the blossoms last year and the festival was held with branches bare. But this year the famed Oriental flowering cherry trees burst into blossom nearly a full week before the festival. As usual they i have attracted thousands of tour•ists.

Excerpts In , Report To S< Further excerpts from county prosecutor Severin Schurger’s report to the county historical society last month show that during the October term, 1839, the grand jury made an inspection of the county jail, and; apparently didn’t like what they found! The grand jury noted that the jail was not clean and that the lock on the outside door was “insufficient." Ezekeal Hooper, foreman of the jury, signed this prodigious statement that also proclaimed an Isaac Smith was being confined in said jail walls on a charge of murder. One of the offenses most often mentioned during this period from October, 1839, to February 1852 was gaming and "betting.” And in many instances the charges > were dropped or the defendant was acquitted by the jury. Smith Found Guilty The above mentioned Isaac Smfth, held on a murder charge, received two years confinement in state prison for manslaughter. On the same docket, 24 tills of indictment were returned fining those guilty of gaming, and giving spirits to the Indians, SIOO each. Davidi Kilgore, John K. Evans and Wil-| liam Elzy were the judges who' heard these cases. During the March term of 1842,1 two cases, assault and battery with attempt to murder, and forgery, were dropped after jury trials. James W. Borden was presiding judge during this term. In fact, no prosecutions were given until the March 1946 term when Moody Park was assessed $5 and costs for “illegal voting.” During the August term, Samuel Rice paid $lO and costs for assault and battery. David Kilgore was president judge of the 11th circuit. In 1847 and 1848, a total of five ( cases were heard with larceny being the dominant offense. One case took so long that the judge ordered the jury to seal the verdict the next day! They did, and Aaron' Borum spent 13 days in jail besides paying the $5 fine. Many Sell Spirits March, 1850, saw seven cases of “selling spirits without a license.” In March 1852, one case of lari ceny came before the jury. The ; August term saw a little more acition as 10 gaming cases were heard and 30 of retailing without • a license. Similar charges were filed in February, 1853, although not as many. gest single item on the dockets was retailing without a license, with a smattering of assault and battery cases. Alvan Randall was acquitted in August 1855 on an assault charge. I From this time to 1858 only one (case, retailing, was heard and dismissed. The Yellow Creek ditch, I however, was established in 1858. Henry and Frederick Neideni stein were charged with maliciovx trespassing and larceny, but the March 1859 term jury quashed the indictment. Joseph S. France was prosecuting attorney. ' Milfon Maddox was accused of ' assault and battery with intent to I kill during the Feb. 1860 term, but ’ the verdict was returned, finding him guilty of assault and battery. ' He paid a fine of SSO and costs of ! School Board Head j ! Quits Under Fire ’ LAGRANGE, Ind. (UPD— Elwyn Blough, chairman of the Topeka metropolitan school board, quit under fire Monday after the i State Board of Accounts threatenied him with legal action ovei* methods of purchasing school construction supplies. State examiner Thomas Hindman said a Topeka lumber company which the school board chairman sold nearly $20,000 worth of building supplies to the school system in a five-year period from 1953 to 1958. Hindman warned Blough that he was violating the law and faced action by the attorney general’s office unless he quit the school board or stopped doing business with his employer. But Blough said Hindman’s charges were quite a shock to him. He said the same auditors examined the books before and didn’t say anything. However, Blough stated he had to resign the board chairmanship anyhow because it didn’t pay' enough to allow him to give up his job with the lumber company. Burglar Is Wounded In Marion Tavern MARION, Ind. (UPi) -Charges of second-degree burglary were prepared today against Oren D. Campbell, 20, Marion, who was shot and wounded when police trapped him inside a closed tavern Sunday. * Police said five officers fired shots when Campbell reached into his pocket as if to draw a weapon. One of the bullets hit Cami/jeD in the back. After his arrest, no gun was found.

Jesse Niblick was jury fore- s man. j Other 1860 Cases Other cases in 1860 found Cath- f erine Yeager not guilty of obstruct- 1 ing a highway, James Wallace ‘ guilty of larceny, paying a 1 cent : fine and costs, David Fitzgerald not guilty of malicious trespassing, , and James I. Dailey’s case of mal- ( icious trespassing was continued. > In 1861, an assault and battery ( charge against Morgan Smith was , dropped, while John Braun waS | fined $5 and costs for disturbing a i religious meeting. Several other appeals were taken on the docket < but were dismissed by the prose- i cuting attorney. Dailey’s case was 1 brought up and he was found not < ‘ guilty. Daniel Runyon was fined SSO and costs for assault and bat- ■ tery, while a similar charge against Christian Kaehr was dismissed. From 1861 to 1863, no convictions were recorded, although several cases of ’ assault and battery and trespassing were heard.

Station Wagon Is Found Abandoned LAPORTE, Ind? (UPD—A blue station wagon, its interigfc blackened by flames, was found abandoned in a* parking lot here today and authorities sought to determine if it was the vehicle in which 6-year-old Ben Wagner of Milwaukee was strangled last weekend; Milwaukee detectives who were told of the discovery said it was only a “slim possibility” the abandoned vehicle was the death car. The wagon was found in the New York Central depot parking lot. It was a 1953 Ford which was reported Monday morning as having been stolen at Ypsilanti, Mich. A gasoline can was found lying on its side in the back seat amid evidence the inflammable fluid had been poured over the upholstery and deliberately set afire. . Authorities said that although the car was not reported stolen until Monday, it was possible it was stolen earlier. They said the make and year of the wagon was different than a description of the one in wjjich ' the little boy was believed to have I been slain. But they added that ; the description could have been wrong. Trade in e good ’own - - Secetut.
