Filion, Camp Lewis soldier, today es- caped the death penalty when he was found guilty, by a jury of six men and six women of the murder of Karl Timbs, Tacoma taxicab driver. The fury recommended that he be sentenced to life imprisonment. Thru some misunderstanding, the jury overlooked § specifying their; their choice of punishment when | they first reported in with a verdict | of guilty in the first degree, and; Judge EB. M, Card sent them back. Tears stood on the cheeks of the ‘women jurors as the clerk read*the verdict, but Filion himselg seemed | absolutely unmoved. He received; the verdict without a quiver, AS soon as he had learned his fate, he walked calmly into an adjoining | {room and conversed with his father. Filion told the judge he had noth- ing to say. ‘The start of the trial of George M. Sharp, the Oklahoma Indian sol- dier, also charged with the murder, has been postponed until Monday, the defense today making the plea that it was not given the required | 24 hours’ notice of a new jury panel being drawn.

Morgan asserted at the| board meeting. “The contract can be cancelled upon evidence of any improper practices and the bulldings will revert to the city.” Morgan declared that the contract was advantageous to the park de- partment, Members of the board stated that | the Lewis-Lester company,” holding | the concession temporarily, have | placed thetr prices during the past | week at the same level as obtain in other parts of the city. HUSBAND OF BOARD MEMBER RAPS COMPANY Frank A. Steele, attorney, and the husband of Mra, Martha Steele, an absent member of the park board, appeared before the board as the rep- resentative of several organizations, and charged that the concessionaires at the park have been profiting on lee cream cones, coffee and other commodities, at the expense of chil- dren and women who are unable to object. “Why should vou tie up the city in ® long-time contract with people whose character has been proved to be unreliable?” steele demanded. “Why should the park board do busi- ness with a company that hag been profiteering on our youngsters?” Commissioner J.
