Fineh,Tregoff
Trial June 70

LOS ANGELES, May 81
AP).-The retrial of Carole
Tregoff and her lover, DR.. R.
Bernard Finch, charged with
murder, has been delayed un-
til June 20.
Carole burst into tears when
the postponement was an
l1ounced yesterday. Later she
argued heatedly with her law
yers and cried again. Just why
she argued-and wept-was
not clear. But it may have been
strain, or disappointment over
Judge Leroy Dawson's refusal
to disqualify himself.
The pair are accused of kill
ing the doctors wife, Barbara,
last July. In their first trial
the jury deadlocked.
The delay of their second
trial stems from Miss Tregoff's S
appeal to the State Supreme
Court for the right to chal-
lenge Judge Dawson as the re-
trial judge. Her counsel con-
tend he is prejudiced. They
have not stated their reasons
for so believing.
Under a California statute
the defense can challenge a
judge once. without reason. AT
issue in this case is the ques-
ton whether one challenge or
two is permissible when there
are two defendants. DR.. Finch
already challenged one judge.
Now Miss Tregoff argues she
has a challenge coming.
The high court has set a
hearing on the matter June 13,
prohibiting Judge Dawson from
conducting further proceedings
meanwhile. The Judge said he
would comply with the order,
but could not conscientiously
disqualify himself.
