a -PALO ALTO TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1964 (AP Wirephoto) Weapon introduced as evidence Asst. Dist. Atty. William Alexander displays gun which was introduced in the Jack Ruby murder trial as the weapon that killed Lee Harvey Oswald. Saw in murder suspect's Recreation room found bloodstained bid vetoed SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Blood smears were found on a pointed saw found in the apartment which 21-year-old Elinor Kahn, mutilation slaying victim, shared with a landlady who has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

A police criminologist made that report today. John F. Williams said laboratory tests established that the saw's teeth were coated with blood. He said tests were continuing on a second saw found in the apartment of Mrs. Jean Toman.

Mrs. Toman, 36, was arrested Wednesday in a downtown hotel after a woman's anonymous telephone tip advised police that she could be found there. Mrs. Toman's arrest ended a five-state search touched off Tuesday when police found the mutilated remains of Miss Kahn in two suitcases in a gully along U.S. Highway 1 near the small coastal town of San Gregorio, about 30 miles south of San Francisco.

Police previously had questoned Mrs. Toman after Arnold Kottwitz of San Francisco, reported a bizarre conversation with her. Lt. Frank Gregg quoted Kott-1 witz as saying Mrs. Toman related that Miss Kahn "kicked a off" after the landlady tied her to a chair and gagged her the night of Feb.

20 when the girl became hysterical. After ing the body in her room eral days, Mrs. Toman told Kottwitz, she severed the head, legs and arms from the torso, put the remains in the suitcases, and drove to the gully where she doused the luggage with kerosene and set it on fire. Kottwitz told police the story Monday. But when questioned that day, Mrs.

Toman flatly denied the conversation took place, said Gregg. Discovery of Miss Kahn's car in San Jose early spurred the search that turned up the body. Gregg said Mrs. Toman, the divorced mother of six children, had been treated twice at state mental hospitals. He said Miss Kahn, daughter of a Seaside appliance dealer, also had been recently treated for mental illness after she attempted suicide three times in the home of her father.

Mrs. Toman was booked at City Prison on suspicion of murder. Goldwater for President office opens in Palo Alto A Palo Alto Goldwater President headquarters will open Saturday noon at 323 University Dr. Jack 0. announced today.

Irwin: "No." Sheridan: "The longer it went without you getting any hint, the more nervous you got?" Irwin: "Yes."

The council has asked the chief administrative officer, George Sanregret, to talk with Greyhound Bus Lines officials about the matter. The Los Altos Board of Realtors asked the council to consider the matter. Colvin J. Fontenot, president of the board, wrote the council that since discontinuance of the train service in January, Greyhound has been operating a bus from Los Gatos to San Francisco.

The bus goes down Highway 9 in Sunnyvale to Bayshore Freeway. The board proposed that bus or another one go from Highway 9 to Los Altos via Fremont Avenue and San Antonio Road to Bayshore at 8 a.m. daily and return at 6:15 daily. Greyhound officials replied that the line has no franchise to operate in Los Altos and that it would not be feasible financially anyway. Smoking banned during Altos youth activities From now on, no smoking will be allowed in the Los Altos Youth Center during youth programs.

The City Recreation and Parks Commission instituted the ban this morning on the request of Recreation Director Jim Carter.

Palo Alto Mayor Dean Cresap, who will attend the meeting tonight, said the city staff estimates such a tax would net the city about $170,000 annually.

Sapp is opposing incumbent Martin J.

Spangler and aspirants Roy F. Eckert of Los Altos and Mike Golick of Palo Alto. les Wednesday developed these main points: 1. Ruby continued to try to pull the trigger of his 38-caliber pistol after he shot Oswald. This testimony came from J.

R. Leavelle, Dallas policeman who was handcuffed to Oswald when Ruby fired. Belli seemed to attach importance to the point. He contends Ruby was "blacked out" emotionally. 2.

Leavelle, under questioning both by Asst. Dist. Atty. William Alexander and Belli, said he could not tell which finger Ruby used to pull the trigger. Defense lawyers say he used his middle finger.

They consider this evidence that Ruby was in a state of "psychomotor disfunction," and did not realize he was not using the first, or trigger, finger. 3. Doyle Lane, a Western Union supervisor, testified that Ruby bought a $25 money order moments before he shot Oswald. Belli dwelt at length on Ruby's manner. Q.

(Belli): "Did he walk out leisurely?" A. "Yes." UNUSUAL Q. "Nothing unusual about his walk whatsoever?" A. "No." Q. "Then two or three minutes later, Oswald was dead.

Did he (Ruby) seem in a hurry to leave the Western Union office?" A. "No." Q. "Everything casual and seemed to be normal? He was cool and collected and passed the time of day?" A. "Yes." Belli contends that persons suffering from "psychomotor epilepsy" can appear normal for several days. He says grief over President Kennedy's death shocked Ruby into this condition.

the rented quarters for four first grade classes will not be needed in 1964-65, Olson said. Also, there will be no need for double sessions in 1964-65 because of the new wing, according to Olson. La Entrada School, located in the Sharon Heights area, was a seventh and eigth grade school until September of 1963 when two new wings were opened to include sixth graders from two other district schools. The board also appointed William Carrico, now acting principal of Las Lomitas School, as principal of the new La Loma unit. Dick Jensen, principal of Las Lomitas, is on sabbatical leave.
