For Putting War Chest Over
Contributors, Volunteer Workers
Win Praise for Campaign Efforts
(Continued from Page One)
War Chest board, our deep appreciation of the all-out
cooperation extended us on the part of yourself and
Your staff,
\ “Had it not been for the essential publicity af
~ forded the campaign through your columns, we mow
| would not be filling the War Chest with the last few
of the $365,000 we set out to raise.
“We particularly appreciate your having assigned
to us one of your writers who conscientiously attenc!ed
every report meeting; went out of his way to acquaint
himself with every phase of the Chest; and presented
it through The Times to the public in a way that not
only won for us many new contributors, but increased
the donations of many others.
“We feel that you have done an essential service
not only to the War Chest, but to the community as
well, for now Tacoma can rest assured that it has
done its part, unstintingly, both in keeping the home
front strong through the 27 local Chest Agencies and
in helping our allies, to whom we owe so much,
“The service you have rendered will long stand
in our minds as a major contribution toward what has
resuited in the most successful charitable effort ever
undertaken, with success, in Tacoma.
“With deepest thanks and kindest personal re-.
gards, I remain,
“Sincerely yours,
(Signed) ROE E. SHAUB, Campaign Chairman”
MR. ODLIN'S LETTER: = =
“Dear Mr. Editor: .
“The War Chest eampaign will conclude Monday evening, Novem
ber 2, with a Victory dinner. We have already, as you know, ex
ceeded the quota of $365,000. We hope that several thousand dol
lars more will be reported in at the Victory dinner.
“It has been already the most successful campaign I have seen,
and I think it has been a tremendously fine thing for the city that
we should meet with this prompt success in what appeared to be a
very difficult tack.
“For this success we have to thank a number of important factors
and one of the most important has been the unfalling enthusiastic
cooperation of the press.
“You and your associates on The Tacoma Times have done a per
fectly tremendous job in this direction day after day throughout the
drive. That cooperation has been very largely responsible for the
favorable reception our solicitors have had and for the gratifying
results they have obtained. 1 can't tell you how much we appreciate
everything you've done.
“I do, however, on behalf of the War OUhest and all its workers
uh.dbyuluymormluuonwrdup.’dmmn
Very truly yours,
(Signed) RENO ODLIN, President
Tacoma Community Chest.”
. .
THE MAYOR'S STATEMENT:
“Tacoma leads the nation, for the greatest victory Tacoma has
won in more than a decade was acknowledged yesterday when the
War Chest passed its quota of $365,000. This tribute to a community’s
willingness and ability to work together is something from which
every single citizen can derive a full measure of pride and satisfaction.
“So far as I know, Tacoma is the first major city in America to
reach and pass its quota before the end of a campaign. There is
cause to reflect upon this major contribution to the welfare and
Security of your city and your nation, and there is every reason to be
grateful for the efforts of the War Chest leaders and their several
thousand happy and energetic minute men and women. The victory
is to be shared by every worker, who so obviously came from every
business, trade and occupation,
“One last but highly important thing must not be forgotten. A
Vietory dinner will be held next Monday evening, and that Joyous
occasion will mark the real completion of Tacoma's campaign. Not
before that hour will we siow down, for there is yet work for all of
us to do.
“It is true that your War Chest quota has been secured, but the
needs for which that War Chest was designed are far from being fully
satisfied. Every additional dollar will further the excellence of what
has already been accomplished. Tacoma beat its deadline; let Tacoma
do as well with its final result.”

argument begun shortly before
court adjourned ng-nay eve
ning.
Trial Drawn Out
The trial has been long drawn
out, even for a murder case. It
opened officially on Monday morn
ing, Oct. 19 with filling of the
jury box from the original
October-November jury panel
But it was the fellowing
Wednesday afterncon, and
successive extra panels were
exhausted before the final
Jury of eight women and five
men wis sworn in to try the
case. !
Thus the presentation of testi- |
mony concerning the crime com- |
mitted on July 15, 1835, W‘
from one Wedneaday afternoon to |
the next, excepting only the in-'
tervening Sunday. :
State Rests Case ‘
The end came abruptly. Tollef
son had put on the witness stand
a string of witnesses calculated
to punch damaging holes in the
defense alibis; Glen Barton, Puy
allup police officer; Jack Crooks, |
state patrolman; Sig xltunon.l
former deputy sheriff; Mrs. Edna
Smith and her mother, Mrs. lowa
Roberts,
Then at 2:44 o'clock, Tollefson
announced that the state rested.
Kadish indicated Jacobs should
take the stand again, then asked
a moment for a whispered confer
ence, and announced the defense,
too, rested -at 2:45. i
| Dismissal Is Denied ,
~ Kadish then made formal mo
tions for dismissal on grounds
that prejudicial testimony per
mitted to go to the jury had made
it neceasary for the defendant to
take the stand in violation of his
constitutional rights; that the
state had not presented sufficient
evidence, and that he felt “it would
be a gross misjustice if this case
were permitted to go to the jury.”
Judge Card denied the mo
tion and Marshall McCormick,
chiet criminal deputy prose- 1
cutor, made the opening argu
ment for conviction, a lengthy
summation of the state’s case
~ in its chronological sequence.
McCormick's summary ended
about 4:30, and while it had been
indicated Kadish would not open
the defense argument until morn
ing, Judge Card ruled he should
start his argument and carry on
until usual recess for the day at
5 o'clock. |
Kadish based his appeal to the
jury on the uncertainties of the
human memory and cited the ex
amples common in psychology

Excuse Juror No. 13
Mrs. Lottie Munyan of Dupont,
Juror No. 13 in the Jacobs mur
der case, was excused by Judge
Emest M. Card when the main
Jury of 12 filed to the jury room
to deliberate on the case.
Mrs. Munyan was thanked by
the court and by counsel for her
attendance, as she recovered her
overnight bag and left the court
room for her first taste of liberty
since the jury was sworn in
Oct. 21.
She was only to become a mem
ber of the main jury in case one
of its members became ill or died.
It was a healthy jury.
