forfeiture of their bond from re-
corder's court, argued that the
judgment in the abandonment case
against Mr.. Peele was faulty be-
casue it contained no sentence Of
punishment, suspended or other
wise, and the bond was not mem
toned in it anywhere. After hear
ing the judgment read, knowing
that Mr.. Peele was held under ar
rest in Massachusetts, Judge Ste
vens said, "He can never be extra
dited by it."
Mr.. Cohoon said that County So
licitor Martin Kellogg and Judge
w. F. Baum had both informed
him that the Judgment was incor-
rect, that there was six months
road sentence in it as ordered by
the court. The Judge then remand
ed the case to the recorders court
for correction of the judgment, ov-
erruling Mr.. McCown's protest that
his clients had been brought into
court by the Judgment and would
be deprived of their proper defense
if the lower court were to alter
the judgment as Mr.. White and
Mr.. Burrus had been acquainted
with it in process of law.
Henry BOwser Acquitted
Henry Bowser, Jr., charged with
assault with deadly weapon with
intent to kill, was acquitted of the
charge after about 20 minutes
deliberation by the jury.
The court heard William Midget
describe the scene in the house of
-Bowser's mother-in law the night
of March 10, when, he, Midget,
was seriously wounded in the wrist
and received slight wounds on the
throat and side. The state contend
ed that Bowser attacked Midget
without provocation and that Mid
hgett offered no defense against his
attack. DR.. Harris testified that the
wound on the wrist was serious.
The defense offered two witness
es, Harriet and Henry Bowser, the
defendant and his wife. Both refut-
ed Midgett's claim that he was at
tackled before he could defend him
self. Both stated that after Bow
ser had said, 81 told you to stay
away from my wife," Midget
picked up the chair in which he
had been sitting and hit Bowser
in the shoulder with it. A scuffle
'ensued, they said, during which
Mrs. Bowser left the room. Bow
ser said he had worked his knife
out of his pocket while they were
wrestling on the floor and cut the
prosecuting witness in self-de-
tense.
In summary, Mr.. McCown said
that the jury should properly con-
slider Bowsers' action as self-de-
Tense, since Midget was much the
bigger man, and that, further, he
admitted to having been at the
house with Mrs. Bowser on other
occasions, and, further, that he had
been warned to stay away from
her.
Mr.. Cahoon asked the jury to
think well of the condition of Mid
gets jacket and sweater, offered
in evidence, ripped in a number of
places by Bowser's knife; the num-
Der of times the defendant had
tried to cut Midget and the three
wounds were sufficient evidence,

ty of driving under the influence
in the last jury case before the
school law case was heard.
Because the prosecuting witness
refused to testify against him; the
case against Lee Paydon, South
Carolina Negro, was nol-prossed-
with-leave. Probable cause for
trial on grounds of assault with
deadly weapon had been found
in recorders court here some time
ago.

Philippines on Alert
For Soviet Submarine
By the Assoeiuisd Pres,

MANILA, Sept. 1.-The Philip
pine armed forces were told today
to be on the alert for Russian
submarine which, may invade the
republics waters bringing supplies
to the Communist Hulk guerrillas
Military intelligence said it was
believed Russian submarines al
ready have begun funneling in
FilipinoS trained by the Commu-
nists in China for guerrilla war;
fare against the Philippine gov
ernment.
The warning to be on the alert
for another submarine came from
the National Defense Department
itself.
Its intelligence Office said a So
Wet submarine by reliable" re-
ports was at Yulin Harbor as late
as yesterday ready to proceed to
the Philippines. Yulin is on Hal
nan, the big island off the south
ern coast of China. The subma-
rine was said to have come from
the Siberian port of Vladivostok.
One military intelligence report
said it was believed one group of
Russians actually landed six weeks
ago from submarine at remote
Baler Bay, on the east coast
northeast of Manila.

kishmun Refuses
To Yield Space in
Russians Pullman
By the Associated Pres,

OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 1.-The
Russian delegation to the japanese
peace conference at San Fran
cisco passed through Ogden two
hours late last night, but neither
the Russians nor a stubborn Irish
man riding in their car were avail
able to newsmen.
The American riding in the car
had retired for the night.
When the train passed through
Chicago the Chicago Sum Times
said the American was j. F. Butler
of San Francisco, a printer.
The paper said efforts were
made to keep him off the car at
New York but he was allowed to
keep his reservation among the
Russians when he declared:
