Early Pioneer Passes
After Long Illness

Lars Erickson, u. an old time
resident of Kennewick died Sun
day following an illness of several
years. At his bedside were his 8
sons and a daughter, Mrs. B. F.
Duffy of San Francisco, who has
spent more than a year taking
care of him. The Erickson family
came here from Genesee, Idaho, 81
years ago, and made a home in
the Garden Tracts.
During the World War six sons
were in the service, with four in
France at the same time. One was
reported missing for some time
and the worry over this caused the
serious illness of his mother, which
finally resulted in her death twelve
years ago.
Mr.. Erickson was born in Iowa
and was a member of the latter
iDay Saints church. Funeral SER
vices were held Wednesday after
noon from the Mueller chapel with
Rev. Martin, Latter Day Saints
minister from Seattle in charge.
The pail bearers were M. N. Hud-
nall, Ole Evanson, Ole Brue, c. A.
Crawford, A. L. Luth and H. E.
Huntington, old time neighbors
and friends. Interment was in Riv-
erview Heights cemetery.
He is survived by eight sons,
Bert, Lawrence, Alvin, Engel and
Otto of Kennewick and Chris, Ju-
Illus and Arthur of Benge and one
daughter, Mrs. B. F. Duffy of San
Francisco, and three grandchild-
rem. Nels and Thomas Swenson of
Genesee, brothers of the late Mrs.
Erickson and Alfred Swenson of
Lewiston, a nephew and Mrs. Coff-
man of Pasco, niece, were here
for the funeral.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 12.-
A plea Of "hysterical amnesia" won ac-
quittal here today for Harry Ternullo
on two counts of murder.

estranged wife, Parmenia Ternullo, and
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Nunziatta
Patania, and of firing at his father-i in
law, Giuseppe Patania, in q family
shooting last August 80.
The defense produced evidence in
dicating Ternullo had fired after being
struck by a bullet from a gun in the
hands of his father-in-law.
DR.. Mervyn Herschfeld, alienist,
testified Ternullo had been struck in a
vital spot by Patania's bullet and had
been rendered unconscious of what he
was doing, but remained capable of
using his own weapon
I'm such cases." the alienist testified,
"the victime does not fall to the ground
but stands on his feet. That is WHY,
in my opinion, Ternullo shot at his
family"
Ternullo. who had pleaded not guilty
and not guilty by reason of insanity,
was freed by the jury.
