Finch Trial Prosecutor
Makes Two Final Charges
knew where she was—waiting out
side the door on the lawn, with the
little kit, to be called in at the
proper time. But that time didn’t
come because of the resistance of
Mrs. Finch, and the intervention of
Marie Anne Lidholm.”
LOS ANGELES A prose
cutor has charged in final argu
ments to the Finch murder trial
jury:
1. Carole Tregoff stood ready
with the so-called murder kit as
her lover, Dr. R. Bernard Finch,
struggled with his wife.
2. The society surgeon ambushed
his wife, cracked her skull, shot
her to death, ' then stalked her’
maid. And if he’d found the maid,
“she wouldn’t have testified on this
witness stand.”
It was the first prosecution
claim that Finch planned to harm
the maid. It presented no such
testimony.
Stern-faced Deputy Dist. Atty.
Clifford Crail shook an accusing
finger at Finch and Miss Tregoff
Students To Attend
Dairy Convention
Four students, majoring in dairy
manufacturing, along with Dr. A.
V. Moore and Dr. I. I. Peters will
attend the annual convention of
the Dairy Products Institute of
Texas in Dallas Sunday and Mon
day.
The students to attend the insti
tute .are James W. Bennett, Joel
A. Gambrell, Jim C. Hagler and
Alvin L. Novosad.
Theme of the institute is-“The
Challenge of the Sixties.”
This is mainly .a meeting , of
commercial milk, ice cream, and
cheese producers of the state. An
nually they discuss various busi
ness conditions and study the out
look and general business trends
of the dairy industry.

Crail told the jury of five men
and. seven women that Finch shot
his fleeing wife, then returned to
the garage, hunting Miss Lidholm.
She had run into the house to call
police.
Crail scathingly accused the
doctor of “cutting the pattern to
fit the cloth”—“weaving his story
around the story told by Marie
Anne without disputing her.”
But he pointed out 16 ways he
said their stories differed,

Chessman Claims
Body Will Prove
His Innocence
SACRAMENTO, Calif. CP> —
Caryl Chessman, writing what he
feared would be his last letter,
told Gov. Edmund Brown a miss
ing body would prove he is inno
cent of the crimes for which he
was condemned.
The 1,500-word letter, released
Tuesday by Brown, did not iden
tify the body or tell how it would
exonerate him.
Chessman, 38, said he had other
evidence which, “in the absence
of the body, would be by itself
worthless.” He termed the evidence
he had “like a jigsaw puzzle.”
Chessman said the body, of a
man, was missing when he sent
a representative to look for it. He
did not say where the search was.
Brown released the letter, re
marking that Chessman had agreed
to making it public after asking
eaflier that it be kept confidential.
Chessman was condemned in
1940 at Los Angeles for kidnaping
with bodily haim. Among the
things he was convicted of at that
time was forcing two women to
submit to unnatural sex acts.
Eight times execution dates have
been set for him. In granting him
a 60-day reprieve Friday, the
governor said he wanted to take
the abolition of capital punishment
before the California Legislature.
Brown also noted the. State De
partment had sent him a telegram
warning that the ' execution could
lead to hostile demonstrations dur
ing President Eisenhower’s Latin
American trip.

Dairy Science Meet
Dr. I. W. Rupel, head of the De

Association today and tomorrow
at Columbus, Ohio.
The policy committee is an ad

Problems the committee will dis

the association, management of
the Journal of Dairy Science, pub

possible changes in the associa

for the teacher’s award.
Dr. Rupel said the association
includes members from throughout

ACS Not Connected
With CF Campaign
Says Mrs. Baldauf
“The American Cancer Society
is in no way connected with the
Cytology Foundation which is con
ducting a mail campaign from New
York,” stated Mrs. Dick Baldauf,
Brazos County Unit crusade chair
man of the ACS.
Mrs. Baldauf, in conjunction
with Dr. W. B. Roman, Jr., Chair
man of the Brazos County Unit
Medical Committee, said the Cy
tology Foundation’s campaign was
neither sponsored nor sanctioned
by the 47 year-old ACS, which
conducts its own cytology pro
gram.
The Texas Society of Patholog
ists, she added, has indicated that
there is no need for special cy
tology screening centers since
medical facilities throughout the
state provide these services ade
quately.
Mrs. Baldauf said the official
1960 ACS Educational Fund Drive
will be conducted during April and
the crusade organization is. rapidly
nearing completion with many
citizens already volunteering their
services.

One of the quickest ways to dis

chemicals is to involve him in sev

less chemical application.
This direct bit of advice was
leveled at members of the ninth
annual Texas Agricultural Avia
tions Conference and Pest Control
Short Course held Monday and
Tuesday at A&M.
The speaker, Dr. J. H. David
son of the Dow Chemical Co. at
Midland, Mich., said most manu
facturers spend considerable time
and money in developing suitable
formulations and training men to
advise aerial applicators on the
products they make. It is to the
mutual advantage of the manufac
turer and aerial applicator if they
co-operate closely.
For Aerial Applicators
The session is held each year
for aerial applicators of seed, fer
tilizer, pecticides and herbicides.
Dr. Wayne McCully, ^conference
chairman and associate professor
in the A&M Range and Forestry
Department, said the meeting was
sponsored by the A&M College
System, Texas Aeronautics Com
mission, Texas Flying Farmers
and Ranchers Assn, and the Texas
Aerial Applicators Assn.
One of the main speakers at the
conference was James T. Ryle,; dep
uty administrator of the Federa
Aviation Agency in Washipgipn^
D. C., who said proposed regula
tions under the ! Federal Aviation
Act of 1958 will apply to aerial
