ing his removal to ivoseburg under a
telegraphic warrant received from
Sheriff Quine yestorday morning.
As he was putting his clothing in

der to telephone for an ambulance
Mr. Crawford sat near, but paid no
heed to t ho i n j u red ma n , th inking
that he would remain unconscious.
Suddenly Kobinett jumped to bis
feet and ran toward the river, about
100 feet away. Mr. Crawford hurried
after him and they grappled in about
two feet of water for several minute!;
before It obi net t was able to throw
Mr. Crawford Into the river. .
Robinett then scrambled upon a
small plank which led to a nearby
scow and rushed through an open
door. A large, sharp butcher kni;v

Kobinett hail been in Portland only

been working In a saw mill in South
Portland. When taken to the county
jail yesterday morning by Deputy
Sheriff Marks he expressed surprise
over hiB tirres . and apparently did
not believe lie vas In serin. trouble.
He snid that he had purchased an
automobile in Rosebiirg, on which
$Sli was fit ill due, and be said he
thoucht possibly that his arrest
might bo because of his automobile.
He asked Sheriff Hurlburt Tor per
mission to drive his machine to Rose
burg, declaring that he would return
at onco and give himself up as he
had no fear of consequences.
This, of course, the sheriff refused
to do. and it was only a short time
later that another telegram was re
ceived from Sheriff Quine, of Ro e
burp, announcing that Rohinett wsis
wanted on a more serious rh;une.
County officials yeslerday h.td not
learned whether or not Robinett was
married or whether he bad any rela
