ATTORNEY
IS SCORED
BY OLCOT7
Practice of Selling
Aid To Secure Re
leases From Peniten-
tiary Raped

The practice Of certain attor-
neys in soliciting and accepting
fees in return for their influence
in securing the release of prison
ers from the state penitentiary is
characterized by Governor Olcott
as "reprehensible" in a letter to
Edward ]. SINNERS, Portland at
torney, who, the governor under
stands, has been guilty of this pro-
cedure in a recent case.
my attention has been called
to letters apparently sent by you
to Mrs. -, in which you inti-
mate that on payment of a certain
sum of money by her to you, you
will have great influence in secur-
ing the release of her son from the
penitentiary," the governor has
written to SINNERS.
"In the first place you know, as
well as l, that you have no influ-
ence whatsoever to secure the re-
lease of her son, or anyone else
from the prison. You should know,
if you do not, that money cannot
be used for that purpose. con-
slider it reprehensible and wrong
on the part Of yourself or any 9TH
er attorney to endeavor, for mer-
germany reasons, to play upon the
feelings of unfortunate relatives
Of persons confined in penal insti-
tutions. Apparently to make fl
nancial profit for yourself, you
would prey upon the devotion of
a mother who no doubt would
make any sacrifice within her
power.
'T wish it understood that mon
ey for attorneys fees, or used in
any other manner, can have no in
fluence whatsoever in securing the
release of any individual or indi-
viduals from the state penftentiary
or any other institution. If you
were unaware of this fact up 10
this time, l trust you appreciate
it now and that you, and Others
like you, will discontinue the zoo
common practice Of wrenching
the heartstrings of those who, IN
desperation for their loved ones,
may be made easy victims Of false
hopes and alluring promises. ."
In a letter to the mother OF the
prisoner in question the governor
declares that the payment of mon
ey to anyone for the release Of her
son would not only be useless but
would be wrong in principle and
in fact.
"No one can buy his way out OF
the Oregon state penitentiary
through an attorney or other
wise" he declares. "The fact that
such money was paid, if it came
to my attention, would rather pre-
judiee me against the case than
otherwise.

News Of the filing OK suit for
S16,240 against ID. "A. O'Brien and the
Rio Grande railway, by Charles Cham
pion af Point Isabel, today caused
surprising reaction among the work
ers for the railway bond collection
campaign.
Instead Of the dampening effect
upon the campaign feared by some
of the leaders, it was reported to have
had exactly the opposite effect. Of
fers OF assistance in raising the bal
ance Of the money necessary to COM
plete the campaign poured in upon
tha committee.
At noon, the total fund was only
$10,057.70 short, Of which $9,l0O.5O
belongs to Brownsville's quota. This
included one or two large subscrip-
tions which il was believed, would be
collected within short time.
AS the situation stands at present,
there are only about sixteen unpaid
pledges in the city. Workers up the
Valley, who had learned Of the suit,
made anxious INJURIES as TO its prob
able effect on Brownsville and were
assured that the public reaction here
had inclined 10 a determination 70
put the campaign over more strongly
than ever.
The filing Of the suit apparently
followed a written notice sent some
weeks ago by Mr.. Champion to Mr..
O'Brien, demanding payment of the
outstanding indebtedness Of himself
and the road and advising that suit
would be the only recourse in event
of failure TO make prompt settlement.
This notice served TO stimulate lag
ging interest in the bond campaign
and resulted in a conference at Har-
lingen attended by representatives Of
all the communities Of the Valley.
At this meeting it was agreed to
release enough money TO cover the in
debtedncss 70 Mr.. Champion as soon
as the $685. 900 in cash required by
the government had been collected.
II was hoped to get the full amount
by the fifteenth of the present month
but, at that time, the fund was con-
siderably over $4,000 short.

critics and second mortgage bonds of

the railway. In the petition, the plain
tiff sets out that on September IL,
1918, the defendant gave notes for
$4,000, at 3 per cent, to Champion
and +. B. Edwards, securing them by
sixteen lots in the townsite at Point
Isabel.
On February 20 another note was
made to Champion and Edwards for
$4,000 to cover repairs and recon-
struction of the railroad wharf at
at Point Isabel The plaintiff claims
lien on the wharf 10 secure pay
ment.
On March 10, 1918, another note
was made for $4,000, secured by fifty
shares of the capital stock of the road
at par value Of 500 share. The
petition says that, at the request Of
the defendant. the shares were re-
turned to him and, instead Of them,
six second mortgage bonds valued at
$1,000 each were delivered as Sc
curiry.
The petition, which was filed by
James B. Wells a. attorney for the
plaintiff, says that all these notes are
due and payable and prays for Judge
ment for the full amount.
Discussing the suit today. Mr.. o.
Bricn declared that all of the money
secured through these notes has been
spent in improvements in Point Isa-
bel and on the railroad. He said his
books were open to show anybody
for what the money was used and
would reveal that none Of IL went for
his own personal use.
"These notes are the only obliga-
tions Of the kind outstanding against
the road and against myself on be-
half Of the road" he said. 81 have
borrowed thousands of dollars from

future Of this enterprise and who were

must be brought 10 realization that the
