State and Defense
Attorneys Ready to
Summarize Their
Versions of Death

Twelve jurors in Judge
Robert +. Evans court were
ready Saturday to determine
the fate of 23-year-old Winni-
fred Frances Jones. known to
the Ashford community as
Mrs. Barney Zawicki. after a
brief afternoon session for
the final prosecution argu-
ment.

their versions of the past three
days of testimony in her trial for

pioneer Of Pierce county.
Actual testimony ended at 4:45

The court rebuffed the defense,

Reese made no certain showing
that he knew he was going to die.

On Varied Events
By Times Writers

A MER1CANS of all shades
of political belief win
mourn the passing of 1daho's
veteran u. s. senator. William
+. Borah. Whether or not one
agreed with all his ideas. opin-
ions and comment. nonetheless
there is unstinted praise for
the courage. broad guage
vision, and enthusiasm which
marked the solon's course in
his long and useful career.
Not only does Idaho lose a
veteran public servant, but the
nation as well. Here was a man
who expressed what he
thought; a man unafraid to
speak out though the tide of
public sentiment may have
been running against him. He
lived to see that tide reverse
itself. Borah was a man who
above all else wanted peace !;
who wanted to see his beloved
America remain at peace; who
wanted to avoid all foreign
entanglements as far as it was
humanity possible so to do.
Of Sen. Borah's American
ism there was no question. He
dared to voice his convictions.
His may have been a minority
viewpoint, but he still gave it
expression. This stalwart from
the old days will go down in
history as a stout hearted
man, an able legislator, a real
American. Long may his men,
DRY be blessed.
DOUBLE parking on a few
downtown streets contin-
ues to be a menace and burden
that the police traffic squad
could well catch up with. The
attractions are not so numer-
Gus, but those that do occur
are sufficiently many to make
it inconvenient for others. A
double parker is not courteous
to fellow motorists. And also,
it is against city ordinances.
The double parking nuisance
again illustrates the need for
parking meters. With an ade-
quate system of meters, there
would be little or no occasion
for illegal parking.
HERE'S hoping the city
council can soon get busy
on removal of those objection
able street car rails that pro-
vide so many traffic hazards
on densely-traveled thorough
fares. With the TRIP Co. put
ting up the money, there
should be no delay in providing
a real drive on to clear the
streets of abandoned steel
rails. This job will do more
to improve the appearance of
Tacoma than any other thing.
Let's go to it, city dads.

But bombers on a lethal mission
cannot come down to fall victims

only turn back. Ice conditions at
the upper levels could be a better

WILLIAMS SEEKS

match their daring with the strong

Flash Williams No. l stuntman,
and his famous Thrill Drivers, per-
form their auto and motorcycle
stunts at the Great Coastal fair,
today and Saturday afternoons
Williams is seeking a female CO.
pilot to ride with him when he at
tempts to perform his famous
Burning House Crash at tn
close of the show.
Any woman over the age Of 81
who is willing to sign a waiver
releasing Williams, the Thrill Driv-
ers, and the fair officials from all
responsibility in case of injury or
death, may have the pleasure of
riding with the famous stunt pilot
when he crashes his stock model
car through the burning wooded
building blazing with so gallons of
gasoline at the fair grounds here.
Williams, who has long been re-
garded as the top man in the mo-
ton picture field as a sumter, as
we'll as the outdoor thrill field,
contends that many of the leading
female motion picture stars of
today have crashed the m o t j o n
picture capitol by taking the more
hazardous roles such as this be-
fore they gained the attention of
the directors.
The Hollywood stunt ace, who
returns to the west coast at the

sesses both courage and beauty,
coupled with the ability to handle
an automobile, to co-star with him
this winter in a picture which is
to be made based on the life of
the late Frank Lockhart, famous
airplane pilot and stuntman.
All this and many more stunts
will be presented on the racetrack,
in front of the grandstand, today
