MEDFORD MURDERERS
MUST HANG DECIDES
SUPREME COURT HERE
Appeal on Ground Confession
Is ExtOrted Fails to Meet
With Success.
NO ERROR COMMITTED
Trial Judge Acted Properly in Admit
ting Signed Confession Telling
About Horrible Crime.

The judgment of conviction of mur.
der in the first degree in the case of
the State of Oregon VS.. Frank Seymour
and Mike SpanOs, was upheld today by
the supreme court. In December, 1912,
these defendants were jointly indicted
by the grand jury of Jackson county
for the murder of George Dedasklou, in
the city of Medford.
These defendants demanded separate
trials, which resulted in the conviction
of each. At the trial of the cases in
the circuit court, written confessions
were introduced in evidence over the
protest of defendants. Appeal was TAX.
en- to the supreme court upon the
ground that the confessions were ex.
torted in obedience to a plan of con.
duct pursued by those controlling their
custody, and that they were urged to
make written confessions, and were
told, unless they did so, that they would
hang, as the jury was picked, and the
people were against them, but if they
did confess, the district attorney would
assure them of their freedom within
period Of from one to five years.
The supreme court, speaking through
Justice Chas. L. McNary, stated that:
The confession offered in evidence,
was reduced to writing, signed by de.
PENDANTS and contained a detailed
statement Of the methods employed by
defendants and their consorts to en-.
compass the death Of their victim. We
deem recital of the gruesome facts
profitless, and rest by saying they show
murderOus act committed in a delib.
crate and foul manner
THE prosecution offers in evidence
the testimony of the officers of the
law connected with the case, and a
number of other responsible witnesses
to the effect that defendants while un.
influenced by any insidious surround
ings expressed a desire to make
breast of the facts connected with the
commission Of the crime; that they
were apprised before making the con.
fessions that what they would say
would be used against them, and that

BANDIT FUGITIVE IS
SAID TO HAVE FLED
Believed to Have Eluded San Juan
County Sheriff and Have Fled
From Island Retreat.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn.l

Bellingham, Wash, July 22.-Sheriff
Boyce, of San Juan county, who is in
charge of the Canadian. American pos.
ses besieging the bandit on Shaw
island, admitted today that the fugitive
may have left the island, if he had aid
from the outside The outlaw may be
obtaining food and water on the island,
according to the sheriff, as he declares
he is none too sure but what some one
is supplying the highwayman. Sheriff
BOyce says he does not know where
the outlaw is, but he is determined to
learn whether or not the man is on the
island. With this object in view, he
says, a posse Of dozen men in his
command, will start on march through
the island thickets this morning.
The posse will carry food for several
days, so it will not be necessary to re-.
turn to the island shores at night.
A report was received here today to
the effect that the fugitive landed at
Birch bay, and number of deputies
will be dispatched to the scene from
Shaw island.
1t now seems certain that the story
of the highwayman's escape in a black
boat was correct.

Has Council Made Bad BIunder in
Ignoring MaCy'S Important Motion?

The one thing that Salem is just now
more interested in than any or for
that matter all others, is the sale Of her
sewer bond issue. This is so much the
case that everything that has, or may
have any bearing on that matter, at
once becomes of deep public concern,
II is for this reason that the action Of
the council last night in electing one Of
its members as acting mayor, during
the absence of Mayor Sleeves is Of
deep interest,
As to who acts as mayor, Of course no
one cares much but that there should
be no question about the legality Of the
election is Of much Importance. How.
ever the council seems to have gone
out Of its way to create a doubt on
that point. Last Tuesday night there
was an adjourned meeting Of the coun.
ell, and at this Councilman Rigdon was
elected as acting mayor during the alb.
sence Of Mayor Sleeves, who is going
east on a vacation AT the meeting last
night, for some reason this matter was
reconsidered. City Attorney Page sub.
mitted an opinion, evidently asked for
by some of the councilmen, to the eff.
feet that the election Of Councilman
Rigdon was strictly legal In spite Of
this, however, the election ofan acting
mayor was again taken up and instead
Of Councilman Rigdon being again
elected, Councilman Siegmund was chO-
sen. After this was done Mr.. Rigdon
formally resigned the office to which
he had been legally elected, and which
he was holding when Mr. siegmund was
elected. As has been said no one cares
about this phase Of the subject, and Mr..
Rigdon, probably less than any one.
The only matter that is Of importance
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1913-07-22

is as to the effect this may have should
any action be taken concerning the sale
Of the bonds before the mayor returns
Then the question would arise "is sieg,
mund the legally elected mayorS"
Councilman Macy, no doubt, had this in
mind when he moved to have the elec.
tion made again after Mayor Rigdon
had resigned, that is that the matter be
again voted on to remove any doubt
that might arise, but he was given the
horse laugh by the wise ones. II may
be that this will not have any effect in
handling the bonds, but as it would
have taken but a moment to have re.
moved any shadow Of doubt, and as
owing to the hot weather the council Is
not working overtime, it looks az
though it would have been the wise
thing to de-
In this connection few words
about the bonds may not be out Of
place, as there seems to be considerable
Misunderstanding about them.
The first time the bonds were offered
for sale, there were but two bids re-.
ceived, neither Of which could be ac.
cepted, under the provision Of the char
ter requiring that the bonds must not
be sold at less than par One Of these

had on it. The other bid offered $685..

Supreme Court Holds Election
on Referendum Bills
Comes in 1918.
JUDGE GALLOWAY IS
REVERSED BY COURT
Opinion Written by Judge Bur.
nett as to Validity Of Inn.
pOrtant Measure.

A. Q. Libbey, respondent, vs. Ben W.
Olcott, secretary of state, appellant.
This is the title Of the case in which
the constitutionality Of the Day bill is
tested and which the supreme court this
morning held constitutional, reversing
the decision Of Judge Galloway
The opinion is written by Justice
Burnett, who holds that the legislature
can do anything which the constitu.
tion does not prohibit. The opinion is
based upon the principal laid down in
the opinion, that "the legislature itsclf,
acting directly could have referred TO
the people any or all the laws IL on
acted, and it is not perceived why it
could not, with equal propriety, annex
a lawful condition to referendum Of
the same bills ordered by the petition.
It is held that the act sufficiently
states the measures upon which vote
will be so taken, that there was then
actual material in existence subject TO
the referendum, and that It was com
petent for the Legislature to provide for
the referendum of its own measures
only. 1t is also competent for the leg
islature to anticipate condition like
ly to arise in the future, and conse.
quently to provide legal rules applicable
to such a contingency. The opinion dis.
poses Of the contention that the law
takes effect upon the happening Of a
contingency, briefly holding that tho
law does not so depend, It going into
effect at once but tho election may de-
pend upon contingency. The opinion
is exhaustive, covering all points of tho
case, and sustains the constitutional.
ty Of the law throughout. The result Of
which is that there win be an election
held next November.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, a childs bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, SCI Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
Some time ago we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and flavor of any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DR.. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
