Kennett. retired Chicago contrastor. dwindled today when two defenss alisnists said they believed he was sane at the time of the killing.

Dr. Walter Rappaport, Napa, and Dr. O. D. Hamlin, Oakland, delivered tne staggering blow to the de- feme case.

Appointed by the court to examine the youth, they declared they had found no evidence of insanity. Kimball, "recluse of Fulda continued his erratic behavior as he related to a jury of 12 men. predominantly northern California farmers, how he Wiled Kennett and an unidentifisd youth and concealed their bodies in an abandoned mine shaft. He said he shot, stabbed and mutilated Kennett because the older man nagged him and my gold." He said ho killed the youth because the boy tried to steal his rifle. "I put it down a hole, just like you're going to put me," ho said in response to defense counsel's quei- tions concerning disposition of Kennett's body.

Both the widow and tha son of the slain man were in courtroom. Mrs. Kennett wspt as the giant prospector told how he had slain her husband. The son, James G. Kennett, Jr was the first state witness.

A defens3 motion to have leg irons removed from Kimball was overruled by Superior Judge J. Landis after Sheriff Elmer Gum told of disarming Kimball of a piece of pipe which he to use in an escape attempt CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Rites on Coast For Auto Victim The body of Mrs. Ruth Vasquez, who died from injuries received in an automobile accident Wednesday on the Verdi highway, was accompanied from the Ross-Burke company chapel last night to Monterey. for services and Interment.

New Livestock Marketing Plan Purposes Listed California Board Answers Nevada Use Tax' Charge The California state board of equalization, in a letter to Manager E. H. Walker of the Reno chamber of commerce, stated early this week the attitude of the coast state authorities on the 3 per cent "use" tax now being levied, on purchases made in Nevada by California residents. The board further explained its activities relative to sending its agents to Reno for the purpose of examining the books of Reno merchants doing 1 (business with CaJifornians.

The "use" lax, the letter stated, was adopted toy the last legislative session in California. It calls for an amount equal to that of the direct state sales tax and is designed to obtain revenue on out- of-state pureriases made by Californians. In reply to the assertion that such an enactment is a. direct violation of interstate commerce laws and 1 that the California board has no authority to send agents into Nevada to examine local merchants' books, 'Hie letter emphasized that the board acknowledges tlje fact that it is without authority in requesting permission to check on Nevada sales to Californians. It stated that the agents were sent to Reno merely as a convenience to those concerns which have taken out California state licenses under the sales tax law.

"Under the sales tax act (per- mittees are required to maintain records in California from Which this tooard may verify the accuracy of any return made," the letter stated. "The Reno merchants who obtained sales permits from us in order to foe authorized to engage in local transactions in California, as above described, did not establish such records here-and we did not feel inclined to insist on rigid compliance with this provision of the law." The hoard ptanted out that it was only endeavoring to save certain Reno merchants the responsibility of maintaining in California some kmd of a record of their California sales. (Feeding Nevada cattle within the state is one of the ctojetoti-ves of the new livestock marketing program recently launiihed by the University of Nevada agricultural extension service, cififiicials announced yesterday. The plan, L. E.

Cline of the extension staflf said, is to get the owners of range feeder cattle in the state, and the Nevada alfalifa growers together under feeding contracts. "In this way," Ctone says, "the local hay crop will 1e more nearly consumed this year and any profits from feeding retained in the state. When the cattle are sold, thsy will be a finishd rather than jan unfinished product." The agricultural, extension service, he said, will serve as the agency necessary i1x bringing the range livestock man and. the alfalfa hay man together. Agents in the vaT-ous counties, especially those localities specialize in range livestock or in hay, are making the contacts between the stockman and the hay grower.

Although the project has just gotten under way, considerable interes 1 is being shown in the subject. The partnership resulting 1 from a feeding contract will eligible far a lota on the stock and feed combined for expense monery from the Nevada, Livestock Production Credit association, it has beer announced. The process by which the feeder contracts are arranged were explained by dine as ifoHows: "Feeder cattle which it is proposed to condition," (he says, "are appraised at the time icf entering into a contract. Feeding expanse is then calculated to the end of the proposed feeding period, decided upon oy the parties to the contract. "In the contract the hay to be fed is given a definite price per ton or per steer.

The cattle owner's investment in the deal is represented by the percentage of the total which the ap- praused value of the cattle bears to the total, and the feeding expense, including the fixed price for the hay, represents the interest of the feeder in the deal and. is computed as a percentage of the total. "Such iDems as transportation, losses, are divided equally between the parties, or according to pre-arrangement. 'When the cattle are sold at the expiration of the (feeding period, the investment af each party to the contract is deducted from the net receipts, Ia4-(3r se'Jiag leasts been paid. "Thereafter, net profits from the operation, if any, are divided 'between the partiicipanta in proraition to the percentage of the interest of each in the cattle investment.

"In other words, each is reimbursed 1 tfoir his original 'investment-the cattle owner for the appraised price of his cattle--and then cash shares in net profits after ail expenses are paid, in praporton to his investment."
