Gevrez Case Remanded for Retrial in Prescott
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Clifford Gevrez did not receive a fair trial for the 1942 murder of his wife in Prescott. The case is remanded to the superior court with Judge William G. Hall presiding. Gevrez, a former army inspector, returned to Ashfork on March 21 and killed his wife after distributing gifts to their children. The court cited prejudicial factors including an insanity opinion, the mother-in-law’s address to the jury, and a doll held by the 4-year-old daughter. The retrial is scheduled for September 11.

Germans Japs Use Similar Tactics Warned By Lt Hayashi
Second Lt. Richard K. Hayashi, a Japanese American serving with the Fifth Army in northern Italy, says German and Japanese troops employ nearly identical defensive hit and run tactics with snipers and teenage soldiers. He notes both forces fight to the death and shift civilians, including his own moves, as part of their strategy.

One compound deactivates non potable elements, a filter removes salt in a second bag, a second compound removes alkali, and a final filter makes the water palatable.
