$500 reward in senseless slayin UMp! Boatman is offering a $5(10 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer in what Boatman describes as a "most senseless" crime. The robber "couldn't hit him (Martinez) on the head and take the money. It wasn't worth a life," said the young clerk's employer. Sheriff's Lt. Ron Forbush said anyone with information on the crime may call the homicide division or desk sergeant in San Bernardino, 383-2511, or the Fontana substation of the Sheriff's Boatman said.

"Either that or it was somebody he knew and trusted Boatman said he has since discovered that his young clerk had told others that a robber would have to kill him before he handed over any money. But Martinez never told his boss that. "He knew my rules," said Boatman, who also has a second liquor and delicatessen store on San Bernardino Avenue in Fontana. "Give 'em the store if they want it, but don't harass them in any way. do what they say and let it go at that.

But when he felt responsible for lnqucsl verdict set By TATRICK SHEERAN Sun-Telegram Staff Writer FONTANA Pete Martinez had worked only about two years in Bill Boatman's liquor stores here, but it seemed that the eager, responsible youth had always been there, his boss said yesterday. Martinez, 18, was buried yesterday, the victim of a robber's bullet in a Sunday morning holdup at the Liquor store, 15892 Randall Ave. Sheriff's detectives investigating the case have no clues to the killer, who also took $195 from the store cash register.

Martinez was found slumped on the floor behind a cash register by a customer at 10:30 a.m.

He was shot once in the head and died Sunday night at Kaiser Foundation Hospital. The tragedy, perhaps, is that Martinez might have tried to prevent the robbery.

Ay Soiled sofa I purchaspd a queen-sized sleeper sofa on a lay-away plan and had made two payments on It when it was delivered seven or eight weeks earlier than the date agreed upon.

While the deliverymen were still in my home, I called their attention to the soiled cushions. They waited while I called the Rosemead office to see what should be done. A new sofa was promised, so the men made this notation on the receipt and left the couch temporarily. I finished paying for it and waited for delivery of the new one. When it never came, I contacted the firm and was told it would clean the couch.

When I told them the material was pulling out in places, a new cushion was promised. I am tired of long distance phone calls, I want either a new couch or my $346.45 back. F.G., Upland ANSWER. Sleep City of Rosemead reported to HKLIM that it could not replace the sleeper in question "due to the fact that it is a discontinued fabric."

When I purchased a new electric toothbrush, a coupon was enclosed which stated if I returned my used toothbrush, the manufacturer would refund $3. I did this and when nothing happened, an inquiring letter was mailed. Still nothing. Hease don't think I am petty; to me, the point Is that something was advertised and I think the company should comply.

S.E., Redlands ANSWER. There was a reason for the mlx-up, writes the sales promotion manager of E. R. Squibb and Sons, Inc. of rrinceton, N.J.

Your brush was sent, to the Somerset Labs which is the warranty department, not the fulfillment house where it was supposed to go. Your request was sent on to that center, but without the brush, the fulfillment house would not refund. When this was straightened out, the check was processed and mailed.

That was the decision of a coroner's inquest jury yesterday after two days of weighing the evidence surrounding the disappearance of the child.

Coroner Bill Hill primarily devoted yesterday to expert testimony concerning the bones of a small child discovered Feb. 1, 1973 in the Jurupa Hills of north Fontana. The first day of the inquest had dramatically examined the life of Judy Rivera. The inquest concluded with the jury reaching the verdict that the bones were those of the girl. The main points of evidence linking Judy and the skeleton were a rare bone formation; malformed thigh bones; hair Deep Creek fire near containment LAKE ARROWHEAD -Firemen last nfcht had nearly contained a 40 acre brush fire burning over remote, rugged terrain in Deep Creek, three miles northeast of here.

Good weather aided five retardant tanker planes and nearly 150 men the day, said U.S. Forest Service spokesmen. The blaze caused no structure damage or serious injuries and was not expected to spread much further. Firefighters said tiiey would probably have the flames under comrol by 6 a.m. today.

All but 25 men had been released from the fire last night and officials did not plan to request any aerial retardant drops today. The biggest problems encountered during the blaze were winds which occasionally reached 25 miles per hour in the canyon bottom and the area's inaccessibility, said Fire Information Officer Dave Flohr. A rough road is the only loute into the area, he said. A raging 2,000 acre brush fire SO miles north of Blythe was brought under control yesterday after one man was killed during te fight to contain it, authorities said.

"I asked Wesley (after the prayers), 'Do you believe God has healed He said yes. I said, 'Well, what your faith is that's exactly the way it is'." Rev. Padilla told Det. Paddock on the tape. In the taped conversation, Paddock told Padilla that he had been told by the Parkers that Padilla had pronounced the hny cured and that later they said he would be resurrected.

"He was buried in his uniform." found with the skelton and the size of the child. Anthropologists and hone specialists, Dr. Judy Suchy of California State University, Fullerton, and Dr. Stewart Shermis, of California State University, Long Beach, were called in to testify about their studies of the bones.

Dr. Suchy said they were the bones of a child between 2 and four years of age and the skull had an extra bone, called an apical hone, that is found in less than 5 per cent of the population. She was then shown X-rays of Judy which were taken in late 1961 and X-rays taken of the remains in 1973. She said the extra bone appeared in each. She also said that the thigh bones of the skeleton she examined were "different from normal" and the person would have great difficulty walking.

Several persons, including two family members, said the girl had not been able to walk normally. Dr. Shermis backed his colleague and added that hair found with the skeleton was the dark, straight hair typical of many Mexican-Americans. Then he shed light on how the child may have died. "There were several ribs, next to each other in succession, that were fractured inwards," he said.

He added that they were apparently broken very close to the time of death or shortly after. "Could they have been broken by a blow from outside the body?" asked Hill. "Yes," replied the doctor adding that five ribs were broken. Shermis said the blow could have come from a fist or foot. He then testified that the fractured ribs would have punctured the child's lungs and that would be the probable cause of death.

Also questioned yesterday was Fontana Police Detective Larry Murray, who with Det. Frank Donlon, headed the investigation of the Rivera family. He said every reported missing child from the area was eliminated, although twice the detectives thought they had discovered the identity. One wrong lead had to be checked through several Southern states before the child was found to be still with his parents. Then, in November, 1973, the detectives learned of the Rivera baby through a Ventura County probation officer who heard of Judy through her sister, Irma.

Padilla said he offered to visit the family, but Nash said he could take care of it himself and the two prayed at the home where Tadilla was staying.

Moretti said his rivals will be unable to match the effort and he predicted it would be decisive in capturing the vast undecided vote. He told a reporter his private polls indicate the number of undecided voters has increased recently, indicating a swing away from the front runner throughout the entire campaign Secretary of State Edmund G.

Brown Jr. Most polls show Moretti slightly ahead of San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto, with the other candidates far back. About 100 persons consumed free beer, pop and pretzels at Moretti's headquarters in the old California Hotel as they awaited Moretti's arrival. Moretti, wearing a plaid suit with a bluish tint and small yellow stripes, circulated easily through the group shaking hands with almost everyone. A step or two behind him was his blonde wife, Marilyn, in a blue dress with green stripes.

As Moretti moved off to one end of the room, a fight broke out between a motorcyclist in a jacket with cutoff sleeves and a black man. The two were separated after a few blows had been exchanged and the cyclist was quickly ushered outside where he cranked up his bike and left. Bystanders said the fight resulted from a racial slur made by the cyclist. As the temperature in the room mounted, Moretti took off his coat and cupped a cigarette in his hand. In a brief interview, he said a statewide land use policy is needed to assure that desert and mountain areas are set aside for recreational use.
