enforced in California, Dau Cupid
has lost out on SO cases or 32 each

Another way Of putting it is that

some reason or other failed to go
through with their plans insofar as
being married in Imperial county

A majority of the incomplete

loaded revolver with her, she would
not even dare to work in the house
alone without having that weapon
ever near her hand, and the day the
shooting eliminated these years Of
trouble, she had been left alone at the
Tobin ranch while Mr.. and Mrs. To-
bin went to Plentywood to visit a
sick relative at the hospital. She
testified that she took her a and
drove into Outlook where she did some
trading and also attended to other
errands, just as she approached the
lane to the Tobin house on her return
home, she passed Hugo Hass driving
an empty grain tank. He waived to
her to stop. which she did after turn
ing into the lane, when her engine
died. He is alleged to have said to
her "Now l have got you, you -
-" and intimated that he
would put an end to her then and
there. She reached into the a for
the revolver and seeing Hugo start
ing to climb out over the top of the
grain tank, she held the gun with
both hands, and pointing it in the
general direction Of Hugo's body,
closed her eyes and pulled the trigger.
Confederation and Denial
A ranch hand at the Hass farm tes-
titled that he had heard Hugo threat
en- to kill Wanda, and which corrob-
Grated this part of her testimony tt
the jury.
Grandma Hass and William Haas
went on the stand and denied there
had been any abuse Of the girl, that
they had no knowledge of any baby
born to her, altho Grandma Hass
finally admitted that Wanda hat
pointedtt o the alleged spot where
the grave was located in the grove.
Testimony was introduced that HUI
go was willing to take Wanda witt

down, spat upon, choked and kicked
about, is a story which carries on thru
year according to her testimony. She
went away from the Hass farm to
her parents home in North Dakota,
only to be induced to return there
again to help with the work there and
then her relations with her uncle HUI
go was again resumed.
Father Learns of Abuse
In 1926, her father learned Of the
abuse to which she had been subjec-
ted and he demanded redress. At that
time, according to her testimony, she
was subjected to the most degrading
and slavish abuse of all. In talking
the matter wei with her father af-
forwards she told him that Bill Hass,
who at that time, was the financial
hacker of the Producers News, and
that he had such pull with the local
authorities, it would be absolutely i'm
possible to get any redress through
criminal or civil procedure locally,
and her father gave her money to go
to Helena and lay the matter before
Attorney Rankin. When Rankin
called Hugo to come to Helena, in
stead of doing so, he sent Senator
Charles f. Taylor, Pat Wallace and
William Hass to negotiate a settle
ment, which was finally made by pay
ing her $780, 90 and in last she went
to Los Angeles to live and not return
to the Outlook community any more
she was to be given an additional
! $780, 90. Part Of this agreement,
she testified. was that Hugo was not
to marry. Hugo, however, married
and Wanda returned to Outlook te
live. From that day on she vas in
constant fear of her life, she said.
Carried Revolver Constantly
Every time that she was left alone
at the Tobin farm, she would carry {

down from the attic in 'Lucy's shack
wrapped in one of Wanda's shawls, af-
ter she saw the baby and found that
it was apparently a perfect child,
with nails on it's little fingers and
hair on its head, she turned back the
shawl to look at the back of its head
when she found that it had an ugly
bruise which she believed had been
done by q human agency in crushing
out its little life.
Burning Body Suggested
The little body would have to be
disposed of and Hugo suggested that
they burn it, but her sobbing and
protests at last won and a little wood
en- casket was prepared and at dusk
one early spring morning, with Wan
da watching Hugo from a window, he
carried the casket, apparently con-
tanning the little body, to the grove
where a grave had been dug. The
next day Wanda was escorted to the
place where the little body was bur-
led and from then on she went to
this little plot each day to pray and
weep over her little dead baby's
grave. The memory of that fateful
spot was always with her, and no mat
ter where she went from that day on,
like the magnetic needle being drawn
towards the lodestone, so she too, hac

she was able to do so.
Abuse Almost Unbelievable
She was never permitted to tall

abuse that was heaped upon her by
her relatives, how she was knocked

him to Russia to live with him as his
wife, as they could not intermarry
here owing to their relationship, but
that he had failed to do so as he
promised and married another girl.
Testimony Ends Friday
The testimony in the case was com
pleted Friday, and Saturday was de-
voted to the Instructions to the jury
and argument of counsel, which was
opened by County Attorney Grant
Blackwell, followed by l.. j. Onstad
for the defense. A recess was taken
during the noon hour and the defense
argument were resumed by Attorney
John L. Slattery, and concluded by at
torney Greer for the State. The
court advised the jury that if it found
that the defendant had been actuated
by persecution threats and abuse so
that she feared for her life, she
should be acquitted, and this
the jury did without much delay, be-
ing only 2G minutes in arriving at a
verdict of not guilty.
Wanda Thanks Jurors
Wanda Hass Immediately walked up
to the jury box and thanked each Of
the jurors Individually. She vas fol-
lowed by her two attorneys, her father
and mother and a brother and sister,
/, who had been here during the trial,
all Of whom thanked each member of
the jury.
Defense Scores Alleged Confession
An alleged confession which she had
made to the County Attorney and
which had not been completed, and
later destroyed, came in for much
sarcastic criticism from the attorneys
for the defense, and the jury were
told by the court to treat such alleged
confession as any other testimony
having the right to doubt same, ano
that they should take into considera'
ton her mental condition at the time
such confession was made. The de
tense maintained that this confession
if it had been introduced in evidence
would have been in harmony with the
last words of Hugo Hass, that he was
responsible for it all and that Wands
had been forced to do what she did
They claimed further that had thi.
confession been introduced as a basi!
for filing the first degree murder
charge that the court would not hav,
permitted the action to be filed.
Erickson With Bill Hass
He scored the County attorney ant
T. w. Greer, who assisted him in TIL
prosecution, and referred to them a!
the firm of Blackwell, Greer and Hass
and said that William Hass woult
have plenty of trouble from now on
In scoring these three parties h
should have included A. G.. Erickson
also, as he was Bill Hass's shadow
during the trial, and when Hass wa
not in conference with the County at
torney or Mr.. Greer he would be clos
eted in A C. Erickson's office, or the.
would be sitting in a car out on tn
street.
just why the Producers News trie
to make out that l.. j. Onstad was tn
personal attorney of VIM. Hass is no,
clearly seen to be a political motiv
on their part, as his address to tn

Lamberton friends extend sincere
sympathy to Edwin Nichols, graduate
of the Lamberton High School, in the
loss of his young wife, whose death
occurred at the Tracy hospital last
Friday, May End. She and her hus-
band were both i'll with influenza this
spring and Mrs. Nichols seemed to
recover when complications developed
and her condition became almost
Identical with the illness and death
of Miss Frances Clark who was a
classmate of Mr.. Nichols. Her ILL
ness became such that on Tuesday,
she was taken to the Tracy hospital
where death came Friday. She was
twenty-one years and seven months
old, a young woman of great charm
and sweetly sympathetic nature.
Her untimely death is a severe blow
to her young husband and to her par
ents. Florence Anderson was born
just north of Walnut Grove, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Abel An
derson. April 4, 1928 she was united
in marriage to Charles Edwin Nichols
and with him, went to make her new
home on the farm of Mrs. Charles
Nichols, Mr.. Nichols mother, near
Revere, were they had since resided.
Funeral services, attended by many
relatives and friends were held Sun
day afternoon at the Swedish Luther
an church at Walnut Grove and in
terment made in the local cemetery.
Surviving are her husband, parents,
four brothers and two sisters, all of
whom were present at the last sew
ices.
