Rev. 0riuna at Murder Trial

placed it across the tracks. Mrs.
Fowler added that she tainted
after seeing what was happening,
and when she knew anything
else she was back in Miami and
it was almost daylight.
William Role of Liberia, also
known as ferguson" who Is
charged with being an accom-
plice in the case, told a similar
story to that which Mrs. Fowler
told. except that Role said that
he did not hit Mcleod at all. He
added that when Orjuna started
beating Mcleod, he (Rolle) left
the scene scared to death" They
later picked him up walking back
to his home. He explained to the
court that Orjuna, who was also
a friend of his, had asked him to
accompany him to do a favor for
him. He declared that he did not
know what Orjuna's plans were.
On the witness stand Orjuna
denied all of the States charges.
Assistant State Attorney Cam
nova made a very impressive plea
to the jury. He described the
case in minute details, condemned
Orjuna for the gruesome crime and
demanded the death penalty.
Orjuna's Attorney did about as
well as anyone could have done
under the circumstances, but the
evidence was too strong and too
convincing against Orjuna for
anyone to have gotten a lesser
sentence. Orjuna was completely
Unconditional when the clerk read
the verdict of the jury.
Following the rendition of the
jury's verdict, Orjuna's Attorney
announced that he had not as yet
decided whether or not he will
appeal the decision to supreme
court. Judge Lopez announced
that he will sentence Orjuna to-

First of the States witnesses
was Detective Claude T. Laxon
of the homicide bureau of the
Hollywood police department,
who told the court that upon
answering a call on the morning
of May 10, 1850, he found a mans
body severed into two parts on
the railroad tracks near Liberia.
the Negro section of Hollywood.
LaXon said he also found a hat
and a stack of letters, addressed
to FIR. Osmond J. Mcleod, at
1923 NV First place, Miami, Fla.
The hedy was later identified
by Emanuel King of Liberia, as
that of Mcleod. Investigation by
Detective Laxon, disclosed that
the address on the letters found,
was the home of Orjuna, and that
Mcleod once lived there. Laxon
also said that he questioned Or
luna at his home on the morning
that the body was found, but did
not make an arrest at that time.
Returning to Orjuna's home on
the following day for further
questioning, he found that Or
iuna had suddenly left the city
destination unknown. Detective
LaXon, who also went to Chicago
to the extradiction trial, and iden-
titled Orjuna, worked ardently on
the case for more than two years.
His work ended VIGOROUSLY
with the conviction of Orjuna
Tuesday.
Other witnesses testifying dur
ing the two-day trial were: AL
bert Moradio (white) insurance
agent of Miami, who told the
court that he sold Orjuna the $500
policy on Mcleod from the Cong
er Life Insurance Company.
Edgar Paul Worrell (white) in
surance agent of Miami, who ex-
planned that he collected the pre-
miums on the Conger policy from

Q: Do the food preferences Of men and

ers in restaurants and cafeterias, where patrons
have free choice of variety of foods. A
Midwestern university did just this. Here's
what they found out:
Over three times as many men as women
ate cereal for breakfast. LESS than 13 per
cent of the women showed any interest in the
oatmeal and corn fakes department.) Ma
jority of the women ate some kind of fruit for
breakfast, while most of the men skipped
fruit entirely. Almost twice as many men
were fond of whole-wheat bread; nine women
out of 10 preferred white. The men ate about

so per cent more meat than the women; they
also consumed more vegetables. But the
women ate over three times as many Salads
and half again as many desserts as the men.
Q: Do men enjoy eating more than
scOnsen do?
A: Yes. Men not only eat heartier than
women. but according 10 research at the
University of Cincinnati, they get far more
satisfaction and enjoyment out of eating than
women do. In nationwide survey, the
American Institute of Public Opinion asked
men Of all ages what quality they deemed of
greatest importance in wife. Here is what
the majority of men placed far ahead of all
other attributes: the ability to be good
homemaker and to have above-average tai
ents in the kitchen.

same test on hundreds of individuals who had
been diagnosed as neWotic.
Almost ese,y food on the list was disliked by
an Overwhelmingly larger proportion Of the
neurotics than by the normal people. 1t was
seldom that well-balanced person piled up
a high food-aversion score; but with the
emotionally unstable individuals it was pre-
cisely the other way around. Examples:
bean soup was disliked by five times as many
neurotics as normals; more than six times as
filany neurotics wouldn't touch grapefruit
juice, cabbage, or potato soup; and 10 times
as many had a strong aversion to fried eggs!
Conclusion: the more commonly liked foods
man is averse to, the more likely he is to be
neurotic.
Q: Why should this be?
A: Authorities advance number of reasons.
Professor Wallen points out that food aver
sions and ne,uotic tendencies are both apt to
be acquired early in childhood. A family dis
pute at the dinner table may 50 affect small
child's sense of security that the beginning
of an anxiety neurosis is born; and he may
associate the incident with food eaten at
that time and acquire an aversion for it.
Or an impressionable youngster, punished
for not eating certain food, may acquire a
fear r-complex as result of the punishment,
and permanent aversion for the food he sub
consciously links with the experience.
o.. What are the most commonly dis
liked foods?
n: Psychologists at Western Reserve made
survey of men and women in leading universi-
ties in various sections of the country, and
found that the most universally disliked food
was buttermilk. One person out of every two
couldn't stand the stuff, thought it tasted
awful. Next on the list of the 10 most dis
liked comestibles was brains. This dish rated
an "ugh!' from 40 per cent of the students.
The other most disliked viands were parsnips,

milk? Science says it's
not your appetite - it's
your own personality 80.
CcIENCE has been exploring Americas likes
- and dislikes in food, and it has come up
with some fascinating findings. The scientific
gentlemen can tell whole lot about your
character, disposition, and general outlook on
life by the number of commonly liked foods
you are averse to.
They know that men get more enjoyment
out of eating than women do; that food affects
you mentally and emotionally; that between
meal snack will tend to improve your dis
position.
Let's take look at their findings via the
question -and-answer route:
Question: Do your food disihes reUeal
your personality?
Aus,Uer: Yes. In studies conducted at Har-
ward University, individuals were divided into
two groups: Q) finicky eaters and (2) nom
fnicky eaters
The fnicky eaters tended to be domineer-
ing, were lacking in emotional stability, were
more given to anger, excitability and mood
iness, and were less happy and well-adjusted
than the non-finicky eaters.
On the credit side, they showed greater
ability in expressing themselves, greater self
confidence and stronger qualities of leader
ship.
Psychology Professor Richard Wallen, of
Western Reserve University, compiled list
of common everyday foods which previous
tests had shown most people liked. The list
was then tested on hundreds of normal, we'll
balanced persons who were asked to check
the foods they disliked. Then they made the

The qualifying maximum might
be 147.
Snead, the automatic qualifier
decided Tuesday night to obey
doctors orders and not try fol
the $3.50 and the Alex Smith
trophy that goes to the medalist
Then at noon yesterday he de-
lcided to play. But after shooting
only a par 72, he decided not to
play the second round today.
However, he changed his mine
again today and said he woulc
play. He said he had to work
the soreness out of his arm.
| WorSham was one of the wor-
ried name players because of q
horrible start yesterday. On the
very first hole, Lewis third shot
bounded over the green and he
came up with a fat seven and
eventually a 76. He will have to
shoot 70 or better today to qualify
Alexander Slumps to 79.
Skip Alexander slipped to 7s
and. barring a miracle, he will
not qualify. In addition, Skip's
name probably will be erased
from the record books as there's
an excellent chance the 1874 quail
lifying record held by Skip and
Jim Ferrier will be broken.
Other worriers are Ed Oliver,
who was second in the National
Open last week, Denny Shute,
twice PGA champion, and Bob
Toski. They scored rs, while the
"a bracket included Dick Metz
Ed Furgol and Johnny Palmer
who figured to do better.
