ROYSTON
TO SERVE
PEN TERM
Former Salem Minis
ter Pleads Guilty to
White Slave Charge;
Gets l8 Months

Portland, Or, Nov. 2.-Rev.
Fred p. Royston. former Salem
Methodist minister, was sentenced
to serve Is months in the McNeil's
island federal prison this morning
by Federal Judge r. S. Bean for
violation of the Mann white slave
act. Royston changed his plea of
not guilty to guilty and threw
himself upon the mercy of the
court, just as the clerk was ready
to call the first juror for his trial.
A. M. Crawford. former attor-
ney general for Oregon, appeared
with e. j. SINNERS of Portland as
counsel for Royston. They called
the following character witnesses.
Bishop w. O. Shepard, DIR. e. r.
Gilbert, d. S. Keefer and A. d.
Cummings of Kiser and Milton
Shipley of Oswego. All testified
as to Royson's previous good rep
utation. "
Seeks to Blame Girl.
In answer to their statements
the judge said while pronouncing
sentence: II am not sure but that
the calling Of the defendant and
the reputation he seems to have
had among his parishoners is rath-
er an aggravation than an excuse.
There Is no excuse for him, wheth-
er the girl was moral or immoral.
While his wife and daughter must
suffer, that condition is true in
almost every case. 1t is seldom
that the court cannot look over
the head of the culprit and see the
real sufferer"
Efforts were made by Royston's
attorneys to show that Miss
frankie Edwards, the 19-year-old
victim, was not chaste last June
when Royston ran away with her.
Mrs. Royston appeared in court
with her husband and took the
verdict calmly. Several Salem
preachers in the court room took
it very hard, some of them she'd
ding tears. The bishop left the
court room hurriedly.
Royston when first returned by
local officers from Centralia,
Washington, where he had gone
with the Edwards girl, declared to
newspaper men that he was act
ing in good faith, that he had
nothing more than a paternal in
terest in the girl, and that he ex-
pe5ted to return to Salem as soon
as he had assisted her in getting a
job. This statement was at first
corroborated by Miss Edwards who
insisted that her relations with
Royston we're of purely platonic
nature.
1t was later that Royston, al
lowed to talk with the girl who
had in the meantime confessed to
officers that her relations with
him had been criminally intimate,
broke down and admitted that all
she had said was true. Later,
after he had been removed to
Portland by federal officials, the
Salem minister turned on the girl,
complained that she had 'vamped''
him, and attempted to place all
the blame on her shoulders.
During the time that Royston
remained in Salem he was de-
Tended by his wife who declared
that, II her husband had done all
that he was accused OF doing. he
had been out of his mind" She
declared that, eventually, the
minister would be found to be
innocent of any real crime.
Royston, who is 3s years of age,
is thin-faced, headed, be-
spectacled and homely in appear
ance. He has ten-year-old
daughter.

PASTORS
DEF E N D
FINDING
Committee Denies It
Admitted Probe of
Perry Case Farce
In Statement

Declaring that they did not adj
NIT that their investigation into
the Perry case was farce, the
membersof the special committee
of the Salem Ministerial associa-
tion this morning issued a signed
statement reiterating the state
ment made in their report to the
ministerial association that Coun-
ty Judge w. M. Bushey is justi-
fled in refusing to return the
Perry girls, now held as wards of
the county court in the Deaconess
hospital to their parents.
The statement is as follows:
"The. committee from the min
isterial association appointed to
investigate the Perry case is rep
resented in the evening Journal to
acknowledge that the investiga-
tion was farce. No such ad-
mission has been made by the
committee. On the contrary re-
view of their information con-
firms the report first made and
gives assurance that the commit
tees line Of investigation was
sufficient.
"The committee was concerned
about two issues: Is Judge Bushey
justified in holding the girls in
their present charge? and, Is the
attack on the hospital justifiable1
We went to the sources of in
formation as to these items an6
we are confident in our decision
based on the information given
us. We are not making charges
nor is 1t our province to assume
the jurisdiction OF a court as t6
the truthfulness of the infornia-
tion, but SO long as such informa-
tion is in the hands of Judge
Bushey, neighborhood witnesses
and the hospital authorities, the
committee is justified in its re-
port.
'The Journal speaks of acting
on Information secured from the
committee OF the Salem Minis
terial association involving GER
tain, moral conditions Is 1t pos
sible that the Journals thorough
investigation has not met with
the current item of moral issues
If so it's investigation has beer
very superficial: IL not, why wait
for information from the com.
mittee before taking up the
matter?

No mention Is made In the
statement of the committee Of the
fact that they did admit to repre-
sentatives Of The Capital Journal
that, as Investigators Of the Perry
case, they did not interview the
girls themselves, their parents,
nor did they visit the home of the
girls parents.
The committee has not yet
denied that they did not know the
location of the home of the par
ents until told by representatives
of The Capital Journal, nor that
the committee received all of its
information from Judge Bushey,
hospital authorities and persons
who were influential in having
the girls taken from their home,
without having made any attempt
to interview friends of the girls
or their parents.
They amply deny that they
have ever made the direct admis-
sion that the investigation was a
farce.
The Capital Journal has met
with the rumor that Judge Bush
ey's refusal to allow the girls 10
return to their home was due to
moral conditions in the home, but
all attempts to vertify these ru-
mors have been unsuccessful Up
to Yesterday afternoon, when TIE
Capital Journal asked District At
torney John Carson for a full in
vestigation OF the case by his Of
flee. no information that the moral
conditions in the home were not
what they should be had been Civ
