OF COURT CASE AS. LAW POINT ARGUED A jury hearing a court case filed by Martin Victor Furs, Inc., against Mrs. Claudia Brown for collection of $125 allegedly owing the ftirm for repairs made to fur coat, has spent little time in court so far. The case began yesterday with Victor taking the stand to explain how the firm did work at Mrs. Brown’s request to repair her coat and alter it-somewhat. His attorney is Robert Boochever. As the case progressed, Boochever and M. E. Monagle, attorney for the defendant, got involved ir a point of law. District Judge George “W. Folta dismissed the jury ‘tempo- rarily while they argued it out. But the afternoon wore on, and they were still far apart. So court was recessed early, to allow the attor- neys to get the point more firmly fixed. This morning things were still in the air, with Judge Folta finally ending the arguments by declaring he would take the matter under consideration, and asked the jury to be brought in. Mrs. Brown then took the stand in her own defense. She had pre- viously filed a counterclaim for the value of the coat, claiming she was | tails on his charge that a “top|not given back the same coat she Russian espionage agent” is con- | had given the firm to repair. nected with the State Department.

The verdict was returned shortly after 2 a.m. They found Odell guilty of killing Harold Rogers, 47, at his farm home near Winona in Eastern Washing- ton. % The defendant, a slender, dark- haired young man, accepted the verdict calmly. His mother wept hysterically. Sheriff Clarence Davis quoted the boy as saying to him, “You've treated me fine. It’s all over now.” Rogers was shot to death with a shotgun in the early morning hours of Dec. 24, 1949, He was struck by a shotgun charge after he rushed ‘Shanghai Is Given | Temporary Setback | (By Associated Press) } Hong Kong dispatches said at- tempis to evacuate 2,000 nationals of the United States and 8ther countries from Shanghai have been given up temporarily.
