accurately reported in detail.
The stories sem to the Associated
Press, and which appeared in the Salt
Lake and Boise papers, all originated
from the Press Office. The first story
vas phoned in from Pauline two hours
after the tragedy occurred. The peo-
pie were excited. All sorts Of stories
were told. The story that went onto
wire vas based on fifteen minutes in
vestigation. If longer time had been
taken to get the report, the news would
have been too late for the morning
editions of daily papers.
The call came then from every sec
ton of the Northwest, to send out 100
words or 500 words. A different story
was sent out in each case, because the
passing hours brought new facts into
the tragedy. The Press carried the
story in detail, forty eight hours after
the shooting occurred and was still
not In accord with the exact facts In
the case. Indeed a story OF the true
facts will probably never be written.
Human intelligence and human senses
are not dependable under conditions
of excitement. An eye witness to a
tragedy may be the most inaccurate
in his report of what occurred.
The newspaper can report only the
facts Ii gathers from human sources.
1t can be only humanity accurate. The
jurors were absolutely right when
they stated that a newspaper story is
only a newspaper story after all.
