the death of George Gustaf-

nothing the night of the ac-

the afternoon before. He talked|to Miss Marti at the city jail, in|his official capacity as ceroner,|but declared she seemed depressedand nervous, not under the in-|fluence of liquor. |
“1 attributed it to shock from
the accident,” he stated. ‘
The defense also produced
Friday a witness to the acci-
dent who did not testify at
the inquest.He was James L. Gange, of 4535
Pacific ave., who said he was about
four or five cars behind when Gus- |tafson was hit the night of Sept.|20 at So. 3Sth and Pacific. |
“1 saw somebody step off the
sidewalk,” he said. ‘“Then there|was a big commotion and the
sound of brakes. 1 was goingabout 25 miles per hour and so|were all the other cars. Tru?c!was heavy. |

was not under the influence lof liquor. j“She did act nervous, but she

' THE WAR TODAY
‘ British and German air
power pounded Friday at
naval targets with a furious
new Royal air force assault
on the Nazi naval base of
| Wilhelmshaven and a fresh
luftwaffe attack on the dam-
|aged 23,000-ton British air-
craft carrier Illustrious.
The outbreak of German dive-
{bombing attacks on British ur!power in the Mediterranean caused
London observers to predict a
change in Royal navy tacties in
that area to meet the new menace
The RAF pounded Wil
helmshaven, Germany's most
Important North sea naval and
ship base, for the second suc- |cessive night, dropping tons
| of bombs on targets still burn-
| Ing from a long rald 24 hours
| before. '
t New targets were blasted 100.l| particularly the concentration nfioil tanks used to fuel naval vessels |and shipyard industries and the
railroad center through which|
ship building supplies and Warmaterial are furnished. |
! The new attack on the Nlus- |
| trious was delvered at Va- '| letta, Malta, where the badly-
‘ pounded warship took refuge
| after the dive-bomber attack
| made a week ago today off
’ Sicily.The Germans claimed three di®
rect hits were made on the Illus-Itrious and that the carrier had
been put out of action for the
duration of the war. In addition,
they said, a merchant ship was hit.
| The Italians chimed in to re-
port that Italian planes aided the
| Nazi attack at Valetta and that
|a cruiser, the arsenal and port|works were hit in addition to
,'targ'ta mentioned by the German
| high eommand.
} No word came from the
| British side on the new Illus-
| trious attack but the axis re-
| ports added point to the Lon-
| don suggestions that the ap-
| pearance of German dive-
| bombers would force the ad-
| miralty to modify its Mediter-

was restricted. Attacks were matle
