positively identified her assailant.
Key West area shore patrol Of
ficer, Jake Urech, told the court
of how he was called to investi-
gate the rape report. He said that
he took the woman to the Naval
Hospital for an examination and
then to the scene of the crime. He
added that tire marks were found
although heavy rains made it i'm
possible to obtain casts of tire
tracks.
The Nays DR.. C. A. Johnson
also testified that his examination
showed that a sexual act had TAX
en- place within II hours of the time
he examined the girl. He said,
however, that there were no marks
of violence. The woman's husband
was on cruise at the time.
Never Saw Her Before"
Senk then took the stand and
made a matter-of-fact denial that
he had ever seen the girl before
she picked him out of the lineup
in the Jail.
He indicated that it was a case
of mistaken identity.
He denied that he had a knife
and said that he disposed of his
car because Of engine trouble and
not ito cover up any crime"
When State Attorney Lester ask
ed him, under cross examination,
where he was last October on the
evening the assault took place,
Senk said that he was at home.
Later, Senk said he could not re-
call whether or not it was raining
that night. why should l remem-
Der any particular night" he ask
ed.
Memory Questioned
"Then why did you remember
that you were home that night?"
Lester countered.
In summing up his case, defense
attorney Albury said that lit was
not a case of rape" He pointed
also, to what he termed "discre-
pencies" in the young woman'S
story.
But Lester, in his final argu-
ment said: I'm my honest, God
fearing opinion, l feel that it is my
duty to urge you to find this man
guilty. He has come into our
midst and outraged our woman
hood"

OHIO To Open
NEW BEACH
THIS SUMNER

Before the summer is over,
Ohio's third state-owned public
bathing beach will be opened on
Lake Erie. Two of the three are
located in Ottawa County.
The new one is Crane Creek,
about half way between Port Clin-
ton and Toledo, at the western
edge of ottawa County. The other
two are the popular East Harbor
beach on the Marblehead penin-
sula and the newly developed
Painesville beach between Fair
port and Mentor-on-the-Lake.
Original appropriation for the
purchase and development of the
Crane Creek beach was made in
1949 when the General Assembly
ratified amendments sponsored by
Rep. Robert w. Reider, of Ottawa
County, and Rep. Morton Neipp,
Lucas County. Both were members
of the House Finance committee
at the time.
The beach project has had the
enthusiastic support of north
western Ohio public officials and
civic groups for a number of years
and much of the fight for its ap-
proval was led by Ed Trepinski,
former official of the Toledo
Chamber of Commerce.
Funds assuring the partial de-
velopment and opening it to the
public for use in 1854 were Sc
cured through legislation sponsor
ed last year by Mr.. Reider and
former State Rep. William X.
Gernheuser, who is now member
of Toledo city council.
State officials emphasized that,
while the beach will be opened to
the public sometime this summer,
it will be a number of years be-
fore the project will be fully de-
veloped, pointing out that East
Harbor is still in process of de-
velopment.
The state recently acquired the
Marshall property that cornered
into its holdings at the approach
to the East Harbor park. But the
state is no going into the restaur-
ant business at the inn on the
Marshall tract, nor is it going to
rent rooms.
East Harbor last year drew as
many as $4,000 visitors on a single
Sunday and it is predicted by state
officials that the new Crane Greek
beach will be equally popular with
the public

BROUCH FOUND
DEAD IN RIVER
EARLY SUNDAY

Millard G. Brough, So, Erie
Township, evidently drowned in
the Portage River near Oak Har-
Dor shortly after dusk Saturday
evening when his outboard motor
boat apparently struck a sub
merged object in the water.
Brough's body was found in a
foot of water at $50 Sunday
morning by three Oak Harbor fire
men, Bill Pinson, Don Schwartz
and Charles Brown, who were
searching under the direction of
Fire Chief Henry Peters.
Search for the missing man got
underway late Saturday when his
wife notified authorities that he
had failed to return after leaving
the home of his brother-in-law,
Henry Harder, west of Oak Harbor,
at 5 that afternoon.
Relatives stated that Harder
and Brough had spent most of the
day working on the boat and the
motor What happened after
Brough left Harder's is a mystery
The boat was found at l a. m. Sat
urday, approximately 200 feet
from the marsh area where Mr..
Brough's body later was discov-
cred in shallow water.
Belief that Brough was thrown
from the boat when it struck
something was based on the fact
.h:,t the propeller was sheared off
the motor and the pin was missing
Surviving are the widow, Ruth;
daughters, Mrs. Marshal Warren
Bay City, Mich; Mrs. Olan Peters,
Oak Harbor, and Mrs. Marshall
Freeman, Toledo; son, Gordon.
Trilby; sisters, Mrs. Henry Harder,
Oak Harbor; Mrs. Gustave Schmidt,
Port Clinton, and Mrs. Rebecca
Selfe, Maryland; brothers, E. C.
Brough, Port Clinton, and Burnett
Brough, Bay Twp, and eight
grandchildren.
Mr.. Brough had been employed
at the Erie Ordnance Depot for the
past nine years, but did not work
late in the week due to illness.
He had been treated by a physi-
clan Friday for a cold but was not
considered seriously ill.
Funeral services were held Wed
nesday afternoon in st. Paul's Ev-
angelical and Reformed Church,
Oak Harbor, with burial in Union
Cemetery, Elmore.
