Ron- ald's court Thursday, Clausen, fingers twitching nen vously at his nostrils under the bludgeoning cross examination of De- fense Counsel Jéhn Dore, said that he had been in jail the hours when he was released to buy the dope.

He admitted that he has been an addict four and one-half years and that "his wife, whom he married four years finally acquired the habit. Was she an addict then?" Dore queried. “When did she get the habit?” “About 18 months ago.” At one time Clausen after being prodded by questions, sank back in his chair, his jaws work- ing and his hands grasping the arms of the chair as he strove to control his emotions. “When you were in fail in Port land the police there treated your wife in an attempt to cure her, but they, didn't consider you worth cu did they?” Dore asked. Clausen glared buck an audible answer. Clausen admitted that he served time for the theft of a watch whik he was employed in Tacoma.
