SELF DEFENSE PLEA
WINS RAIDER ACQU|TAL
Verdict OF Not Guilty il Heard From
Second Jury Box When Appeal Gains
RetriaI for Man Once Held to Blame.
(Pendleton e. o.

Freed by a Umatilla county jury of
guilt for a crime committed nearly
three years ago, Frederick RAIDER, who
shot E. E. McCue near Long Creek Feb
ruary 20 1918, today stands beside his
fellow men, guiltless. He heard a ver-
dict Of not guilty to the charge Of man
slaughter read in the court house al
S:15 last evening just eight hours after
his case which had been on trial since
Monday morning, was given to the jury.
Originally indicted for second degree
murder by a Grant county grand jury.
RAIDER was finally convicted Of man
slaughter and carried the case to the
supreme court of appeal The upper
court reversed the decision of the lower
court and ordered the case taken back
for retrial. The retrial was brought to
this county on a change of venue mo-
tion.
RAIDERS trial was the fourth for mur-
der held in Umatilla county before a
jury this year. W. W. Wilder was tried
convicted and sentenced to life impris-
onment at the January term. Erwin
L. Stoop and Floyd Henderson were al
so tried, convicted and sentenced to
life Imprisonment, at, the September
term of court Elvie D. Kerby and John
L. Rathie implicated in the Taylor mur-
der, were found guilty of first degree
murder the week following and SEN
tenced to hang but are now in the peni-
tentlary under stay Of execution pend
ing appeal
There were only a few relatives and
close friends of RAIDERS In the court
room when the jury came in last night
His mother and sister ran forward to
embrace him when the verdict was read
and all had faces wreathed in smiles
and tears as the family rejolced.
Self defense was the pls on which
RAIDER won his freedom and testimony
introduced by the defense was consid-
cred strong enough to clear him. The
Jury, it is understood, debated heatedly
before reaching the decision to clear
the defendant.

The dedlcatory services will probably

one Of the big features of the jubilee

to getting the place open to the public
at the earliest possible date. Mr.. Foley
now expects to hold the grand opening
with a banquet on the evening of De-
cember 81 at which time delegation Of
visiting hotel men from Portland and
other Northwest towns will be present.
We doubt IL there is a more complete
" equipped or better furnished hotel in
Eastern Oregon than this new hotel in
Heppner which was built through the
public spirit of Heppner citizens. The
building itself is Of substantial con-
struction and was built at time when
material was at the peak Of high cost
But in spite OF all adverse circum'
stances, the hotel will open its doors to
the public free from heavy incum-
brances and petty liens.
Manager Foley announces that he de-
sires the patronage of local people, as
1t will be due to large extent to their
trade, whether the hotel fiourishes as
it should. While the very best OF SER
vice will be maintained at all times,
Mr.. Foley says he does not want any
one to get the idea that it Is to be
'highbrow" institution. Men in over
aHs are just as welcome and will be
made to feel just as much at home here
as the man in the white collar and
dressed-up clothes" said Mr. Foley.
"The hotel should be made more or
less the community center of our city"
he continued. Make 1t a place for
your committee meetings club gather
ings and like get-together affairs. You
will find US always at your service
looking to your comfort and conven-
fence and you will find that 1t is as
much our pleasure to meet your desires
as 1t is yours to enjoy the privileges OF
a first class hotel

Today's Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
THE POLICEMAN

There is no finer public servant than
the policeman. Night and day he is on
the job. He is our servant-but q
servant by choice!
One word expresses the average
observation-disclosures. But there is
another word which ought to be
wrapped around this one to make it
complete. 1t is-faithfulness.
Whether it rains or shines, it is all
the same to the policeman. He is not
a deserter. You will see him at his
post, or on his beat.
A few years ago a policeman in a
large city went wrong, and there were
pages of print about the case from one
end of the country to the other. He
paid the extreme penalty for his err
rors. But every day all over the
country, other policemen are paying
for their faithfulness and honor with
their llves-lost while on duty.
1t Is to such that l would pay a
simple tribute-for they are too soon
forgotten as examples of the heroic in
our everyday. busy business lives.
In one of the largest cities of Amer
Tea there used to be a statue erected to
a group of brave policemen who lost
their lives battling for the public good.
But 1t was removed from the busy
street-where 1t should have stayed
foreyer-to some less valuable spot.
Not long ago l read a short item
about a New York policeman who fell,
MORALLY wounded, defending the honor
of his chosen calling. l wish that he
might have had a statue Of bronze
placed at the spot where he fell.
The policeman is the embodiment of
the highest results of democracy-for
he sees that the law is given its just
respect.
like to see citizens friendly to the
policemen. Their lot is hard and long.
They sacrifice much to serve AS a
rule. they are just and fair And they
willingly give all that they have when
danger threatens
Let us give three cheers in our
hearts for the policeman-no matter
where he stands.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-07-24

The cooperative effort of this committee
should not be construed by citizens to mean that
the necessity of a change in the municipal gov
eminent of Indiana cities has been removed.
Conditions here had attained what citizens be-
lieved was a critical stage and the committees
efforts will be directed toward making the best
of situation until the state legislature may
enact legislation at its next session giving 1ndi-
ana cities home rule.
One Of the noticeable features of last nights
meeting the large attendance of citizens,
suggesting that if normally meetings were at
tended by as many citizens some legislation
would be speeded up.
City Attorney Robbins was not far from
wrong when he said that the citizens themselves
are partly to blame for conditions here. Our
apathy toward the municipal government, our
lack of interest in the proceedings of the council
and board of works, our willingness ITO let the
city run itself" may account for the slipshod
manner in which our citys business is some
times conducted.
If some of us took a greater personal interest
in public affairs and assumed the personal re-
sponsibility we owe to our community, our city
would be infinitely better off.

minister the affairs Of the city in
satisfactory manner. Mr.. Robbins
said that this had developed a situa-
ton which had caused him to submit
his resignation.
Believes Opposition Responsible
Mr.. Robbins asserted that in his
opinion the couneilmen he was criti-
cising had been prompted to pursue
obstructive tactics because of their
deep-seated opposition to Mayor Tim
norman.
In replying to Mr.. Robbins Council
man Ford said he took 1t for granted
that he was one of the men the city
attorney referred to as an obstruc-
zionist. He said that any action he
had taken in council was not the re-
suit of opposition to either the board
or the city attorney. He said if the
board or the mayor came into council
with a proposition he didn't think
was a good one, he opposed it.
Every time council has gone on
record against a board proposal we
have had the board on our backs"
Ford said.
Explains Relations.
1--WE councilmen are not supposed to
/, be very smart" he added Perhaps
we are not, but l think we measure
up to the general average of intelli,
gence and l don't believe the board
! members rate any higher, We have a
city attorney who has, every time
there has been a dispute between the
board and council, lined up with the
board"
MI Ford then cited several instan.
ces to prove that the board had acted
unwisely on important questions and
that the council, in rejecting them
had been instrumental in saving the
city considerable money. He said he
| thought the board should give council
credit for attempting to transact the
affairs of the city in an economical
manner, but instead of doing so, he
said, the board had attacked and vii
| flied council.
