ROCK THROWER
WILL BE GIVEN
TRIAL BY JURY

Charged with disturbing the peace
and destroying government proper
ty. Richard Koerner was arraigned
before Judge Nuffer in police court
this morning. He pleaded not gull
ty to the charge and asked for a
Jury trial which was set for May ID.
The defendant felt inclined to
question the jurisdiction of the city
court to handle his case claiming
that since a federal building was
connected with it the matter should
be brought up before a federal
court. He was told, however, that
the local police court had sufficient
Jurisdiction to handle the peace dis
turbance charge. Bail was set at
$500.
Koerner was arrested here Thurs
day. He had been living at the
transient camp and had some sort
of argument with the management
of the camp early that morning.
This Soured him to such an extent
that he sought to vent his spleen
on something belonging to the gov
ernment and did that by throwing
rocks at the new postoffice build
ing. One of the missiles broke a
glass in the front door of that
building and he was arrested just
as he prepared to heave several
more rocks through the doors or
windows.

TUCSON GIRL
Family Receives No Further In
structions For Delivery Of
Ransom Money.

TUCSON, Ariz., April %. U.P-
A nightlong vigil in which the
distracted family of June Robes,
6, awaited further instructions from
her kidnapers ended today without
bringing additional word directing
the manner of paying $4,000 in
ransom money,
Throughout the night Fernando
Robles, the girls father, and her
grandfather, Bernabe RobleS, veal
thy retired cattleman, awaited the
kidnapers to follow last night S
telephone call with second mes
sage but none came, SO far as could
be learned. The first call had
promised them additional instruc-
tions as how the ransom money
could be delivered. The Robes had
seized upon this as assurance the
child was still alive.
,, Searchers still suspended oper-
ationS in and near Tucson in the
hope the kidnapers or an emissary
would accomplish direct negotia-
tions with the family.
But as the hours wore on with
out bringing additional word, they
chafed under the restraint of de-
lay and awaited only a word from
| leaders to renew their search which
| "a hours ago was abruptly halted at
the request of the Robles family.
The deadline for paying the ran
som expired last midnight.
Observers believed if and wher
the abductors did establish con-
tact they would stipulate a differ
ent manner of paying the ransom
than that outlined in the origina
demand, delivered an hour or two
after June was abducted Weones-
day while returning home from
school. In that demand, which was
written and delivered to the girl Is
| father by a newsboy, the kidnapers
ordered Bernabe RobleS to collect
! the money and drive along ceS-
ignated highway after night fall
He was to drive until he saw a
string stretched across the road
The 76-year- former "cattle
baronn executed the orders without
avail.
Expect New instructions
Because these instructions were
! generally known, it was believed
almost certain the kidnapers Woulo
outline a different set OF instruc-
tions the next time they commun-
icated with the family.
Police were frankly nonplussed as
to what course to follow. Pollce
Chief C. A. (Gus) Wollard, who
engineered the capture OF Johr
Dillinger and three henchmen with
out firing a shot here last January
said he was without a single tan
gible clue on which to proceed.
Relatives expressed fears over the
condition of the kidnapped girl 8
mother who was prostrated witt
grief. Her condition was described
as serious.

TRAGIC DEATH
Of STUDENT
No I SOLVED

PALO ALTO, April %. U.P)-The
mysterious death of Peter JeWett,
18-year Stanford univers y
freshman, defied solution today as
authorities of two counties follow
ed puzzling leads in their invesfi-
CATION.
The authorities were certain only
that Jewett, a Portland, Ore, res
ident, died from fractured skull
received sometime Thursday night.
During the night he figured in an
automobile accident and possibly
took part in fight at a night
club he and his companion, w.
Dalton Henderson, San Francicso,
visited.
Henderson, prominent inter
collegiate folging star. was released
from technical custody after Sher-
iff william Emig, Santa Clara coun-
ty, decided that he was not respon-
sible for Jewett's death.
Jewett and Henderson went to
sleep Wednesday night in an auto
mobile near the Stanford campus.
In the morning Henderson found
his companion dead. The San fran
cisco student recalled that their
machine had struck telephone
pole during the night. Later he
told of the brawls in the Klon-
dike' night club.
Despite long questioning of night
club guests, the authorities found
no means of explaining the manner
in which Jewett received his injur-
les. They we're certain, however,
that he was not injured in the
slight automobile accident. DR..
Frederick Proescher, autopsy sur
geon, said ga blow from some i'm
plement' caused the skull frac-
ture.
With Henderson's S release, Sher-
iff Emig indicated that the next
move is up to San Mateo county
authorities. The roadhouse is To-
Gated in that county, Meanwhile
Santa Clara authorities arranged
for an inquest.
