CAPTURE
PERVERT
is Not Assailant Of
Salem Tots, However;
Polk Lads Victims;
Is Jailed Here

A man who gave his name as
James Brooks, SS years of age and
who, according to officers, is q
confessed moral pervert, was TAX
en- into custody early today by
Sheriff O. d. Bower and Deputy
Sheriff Sam Burkhart and is held
in the Marion county jail.
This afternoon officers deter
mined definitely that Brooks Ia
not the man sought in connection
with the assault last Sunday
morning on two little Salem girls,
but they are convinced that
Brooks is as great menace to So
ciety as the man for whom they
have searched for six days.
Not Man, Girls Say
Brooks, Sheriff Bower said this
afternoon, will be turned over to
Polk county authorities as his
residence is in West Salem. The
shack in which he has resided Is
located on the banks of the Will
lamette, just across the county
line.
In Brooks, who is one of many
men questioned by officers during
the week, Sheriff Bower at first
believed he had one Of the most
promising suspects yet taken into
custody. Brooks appearance ans
wered fairly well the meagre de-
scription of the man sought and
his confession, concerning his act
ivities with two West Salem lads
was readily given. He stoutly
maintained, however, that he hat
nothing to do with the crimina
assault on the two children. how

out by the two tots when he wa

Grief came to Jack Oberdorf,
for the company +
smoker, in an unexpected form
last night when two of his fight
ers clashed at the armory in a
trial bout. ..
Fred Hall, billed for the main
event of the smoker on March IA,
while boxing with Battling

his opponent and with a tremend-
GUS left handed punch broke one

This sudden disability of one OF

More grief was added this
