Wheeler also added that the jury was not in the box to try the young couple for misconduct, they were there to try the defendant. Defense counsel Leo Rector who put on no testimony whatsoever spoke of Freud and the Star Spanglel Banner in his summation. Freud, stated Rector, had once said never tell the truth about and the attorney went on to say that sex was practically everywhere, in advertising and in songs. The Star Spangled Banner, he commented, was one of the few songs not involved with sex.

Why, he wanted to know, had the girl accused his client? She had been found with her boy friend, he said, and as she did not want to be found out by her parents, invented the rape story. A charge of this kind is easy to he ended, difficult to In rebuttal Wheeler pointed out that by saying she had been raped the chances were almost certain that involvement with her young man would come out later. If she had remained silent, he said, nothing would have been revealed about her affair with the young man she was going to marry Judge William E. Rhodes heard the case and Rector has received the customary 10 days in which to file a motion for a new trial. Immediately after the verdict the defendants bond was revoked and he was remanded into the custody of the sheriff.

Charged With Running Over Wife Several Times party precinct caucuses are held to figure out what he will be running for. Democratic Frank Evans, a near cinch winner for the past three campaigns, is reportedly anxiously waiting for the Colorado Legislature to complete the task of congressional reapportionment. Colorado Republicans in the state legislature, however, have indicated strongly that the congressional plan for reapportionment will not be adopted until the final days of the current session, which is expected to last until May. If that is the case, Evans will have a difficult time making up his mind because the precinct caucuses in Colorado are scheduled for May 15. The longer the GOP delays congressional reapportionment, the longer Evans is put at a dis advantage.Evans is considered the strongest Democratic challenger to GOP Sen.

Gordon Allott, who comes up for re election this year. Evans would rather run for re-election to the U.S. House and has let it be known that he will do that if congressional reapportionment plans leave him with a reasonable district. Still, Evans has also made it public, in Colorado Springs, that he would challenge Allott if the GOP leaves him no other choice. Both congressional plans introduced last weekend in legislature would likely keep Evans in the house, but one of them is less attractive because it would make him run throughout the southern two-thirds of the state, amounting to thirty three and a half counties.

Identified as participants in the tavern brawl were Scott Bennigsdorf, John Barnard, Bobby Mann, Art Miller and Mark Wagar, all of Colorado Springs. They were jailed along with the National president of the Sons group, Bruce Richardson, on charges of assault with a deadly weapon. All but Barnard were released on personal recognizance bonds.

have you ever climbed in and out of a jeep (truck) over 500 times a day to walk up to a mailbox? Plus many times a day unloading packages, sometimes very heavy. I have, and it happens to be very tiring. It can be even more tiring than walking a route. Also, I have known many carriers who make a very special effort to pick up mail, and in other ways, make things easier for any invalid or elderly person on their route. Just as a final note.

How many of you bother to put zip codes or apartment numbers on your mail, and then complain about your mail being delayed? V. H. thumb injury.

Committee Okays Registration Bill DENVER-The Colordo House State Affairs Committee Thursday voted favorably on legislation to outline residency requirements for newly-enfranchised voters between the ages of 18 and 21, but struck a provision that critics had called discriminatory to the young.

The proof that he was a American citizen. showing how long the applicant lived at his current address.

The Colorado Student Lobby had spoken against the bill proposed by Rep. Austin Moore, R-Englewood. The group spoke against the provisions that would have allowed county clerks added registration power and said: Dear Maverick: I felt compelled to reply to A. N. recent letter.

an Air Force wife who share his view. First we also pay our way as we pay taxes as civilians. Our pay is a lot less for what our men deserve. As they died in World War World War 2, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Were they paid enough to die for draft dodgers and other such citizens? For people who sponge on welfare who could get an honest job but too lazy.

At least, we protect our flag and country. Second, tired of people saying they pay our way. seen men work 18 hours get four hours sleep and pull 8 more hours. Plus military gets no overtime. We live on less per month than most civilians, except some on welfare.

Why? Because we love our country and fight for it. What would the Springs be like if the military trade? It happened once and it was amazing to us. So I say there are bad in both, but why not gripe about civilians who pay? By the way base stores as cheap as the people think. We can get it cheaper at some stores without discount for military. Thanks for your time.

Jr Dear Maverick: Have enjoyed your column during our stay in the City. We will be leaving in a few months, however, headed for the hot country and have encountered a problem in preparing for the trip. We have been unable to find any dealer in town who handles the window-type car cooling units. We have been told the manufacturers have stopped making them. Perhaps there is someone we have failed to reach who does have them in stock, or perhaps a reader who has a used one in good condition they no longer need.

If so, we would appreciate a call at 392-5776. Thank you. R.H. Dear Maverick: You have helped us in the past and we had good results. Thanks to you.

My husband lost his billfold with important papers and his license. He either lost it at Eisenhower Orthopedic Hospital or the the New Citadel where he worked. Whoever found the billfold can keep the billfold and money. But please be so kind and return the paper and license. I am sure you do not have any use for them.

Please call 475-1531, and no questions asked. Maverick: About two years ago a high school graduation ring from Longmont High School was found. The year 1970 is on it and has a blue stone.
