00DS0N, INGRAM AND
JACKSON SENTENCED
Dodson to Hans August II. Ingram
for Life and jackson
for One Year.

Before adjourning court Saturday
Judge II. X. Hanna passed sentence
of Esley Dodson, who had been con-
victed of murder in the first degree
for the killing Of William Dunlap
and set Friday, August II, 1905 as the
day for him to be hanged in the
psnitentiray at Salem. Andrew In.
gram, Dodson's confederate in the
murder, was given life sentence by
Judge Rama, the jury having brought
in a verdict of murder in tho second
degree. W. H. jackson. tramp
sailor, having confessed to stealing
a bicycle, was given one year in the
penitentiary by Judge Hanna.
Sheriff George Lewis, assisted by
Deputy Sheriff Ernest Lister and
Bshtf J. IL. Colby left with he
prisoners on the delayed train at mid.
night Saturday for the penitentiary
at Salem, Quito crowd was present
at the depot to see the prisoners OF, n
few were friends of Dodson and In.
gram, but most were there through
morbid curiosity TO see the prisoners,
Dodson and Ingram were handoufIed
together. but they nor the sailor
made no trouble any the way to the
penitentiary.
A petition was circulated about
town during the fore part of the
week and sent to Governor Chamber
lain asking that Dodson's sentence
be commuted to life imprisonment
The petition was signed by many of
the leading citizens of the city, for
there is general feeling that Inrgam
was the more guilty of the two and
should have also been hung. As he
was let off with life sentence by the
jury the public held that Dodson
should have the same lenienoy, in
view of the fact that Ingram planned
the murder and Dodson executed it.,
but not until after giving up the at.
