|0f Bomb Plot

McMINNVILLE, Greg, Oct. 25
R.-victor Wolf, who has ad-
mitted rigging q bomb In an
automobile to kill q Portland at
torney, was to testify today in
the irst-degree murder trial Of
the attorneys widow.
He is the States principal
witness in its case against Mrs.
Marjorie Smith, who is accused
Of plotting her husbands slay-
ing.
Mr.. Wolf already has pleaded
guilty in court. He said he killed
Mr.. Smith April 81 at Mrs
Smiths urging because he was in
love with her. He and Mrs
Smith planned to use money
from Mr.. Smiths estate to start
q new life in Alaska together,
Mr.. Wolf said.
Seeks to Bar Testimony
Mrs. Smith has denied all this
and her attorney yesterday tried
to have Mr.. Wolf declared In
sane so he could not testify.
The attorney, Bruce Spaulding,
also contended that Mr.. Wolf
should not be permitted to testi-
| ~ on ground that Mrs. Smith
had been accused of being an ac-
complice with him in the Staying,
and that under Oregon law. an
accomplice. who has not yet been
tried. is not permitted to testify
for or against an accused per-
son.
Circuit Judge Arlie G. Walker,
who is trying the case here be-
cause Mrs. Smiths attorneys
said she could not get a fair trial
in Portland. ruled against Mr..
Spaulding on both issues.
This cleared the way for the
45-year r-old handyman, who lived
at a rooming house owned by
Mrs. Smith, to begin his testi-
mony.

Five other witnesses took the
stand yesterday to permit intro
Iduction Of evidence such as pho
tographs and maps.
Before this testimony. however,
the prosecution and the defense
outlined their cases for the Jury
of nine men and three women.
