ROSEBURG, OREGON,
WAS THE JUUY RIGHT?
The game of bluff with justice is over for the DeAutre
mont trio. Their confession of the cold-blooded murder of
four, men in the Siskiyou train holdup of October 11, 1923,
marks a triumph for the law after an unremitting search of
nearly four years and again vindicates the principle of im
posing the death penalty on circumstantial evidence, despite
the fact that the two juries who held the fate of the three
DeAutremonts decreed the alternative of life imprisonment.
Hugh DeAutremont, who put Jackson county to the heavy
expense of one partial and one complete trial, presented
nothing in his own defense to justify escape from the gal
lows. Whatever reason the jury had for its act of leniency
has not been revealed. In the case of his twin brothers.'Roy
and Kay,, there was the favorable circumstance of a plea of
guilty that saved Jackson county additional expense, and
probably in the minds of the taxpayers that comprised pe
. jijry this was sufficient to entitle the pair : to as much
leniency as was shown Hugh. If Jackson county is satisfied
with the penalty meted out to the three brothers, the rest
of . the state should not complain. ! '
Penal servitude for the remainder of their natural lifo
will bo a severe price for the DeAutremonts to pay for their
; terrible deed, for they are still young men. Speculation
shrinks at the idea of thoir ever being pardoned, though we
doubt not that efforts to liberate them will eventually be
made and receive support from
community that "feels sorry ' for an imprisoned killer but
seldom gives thought to his victims or, their bereft depend
ents.'' According to Hugh's, reported concession, , Ray Der
A,utremont, whom he says' planned the train holdup,' ''Was'
just a socialist who wanted a square deal' for everyone."
This, is a. fine principle, but just how it squares with the
wanton murder , of four defenseless, law-abiding citizens is
not understood. It appears also from Hugh's story .that
thealleged master mind of the trio delved into "highbrow"
literature), including the depressing philosophy of 'the melan
choly Schopenhauer, who professed to see nothing good in
mankind and to whose writings have been ascribed many
'deeds contrary to laws established for the security and wel
fare of society in general. Perhaps the jaundiced views of
the German pessimist exerted an: influence for evil oii Ray
IfeAutremoht and his brothers and made them imagine this
was. an undesirable world in which to live. However, when
their quadruple murder brought them to a show-down with
the law, in the shadow of the gallows, they showed plainly
their preference for a continuance of life on this earth, even
though it meant drab existence behind prison walls. The
long stretch of years ahead of them in the penitentiary will
give them ample time to refbet on the folly of flouting the
law, the while they are sweating at manual labor with ener
gy which would have made them useful citizens had thoir
careers been started under proper mental gUidancd.
o
A WELCOME AWAITS.
The boys of '61 will find a warm welcome when they
come to Roseburg next year for thoir annual state encamp
ment. It is to be hoped that their visit here will be concur
rent with the strawberry carnival, when facilities for their
entertainment will be at thoir best, and that the supreme
commander of tho universe will spare for the occasion all
those who attended the convention at Salem this year, as
well as all of their comrades who could not be present, but
who would find it convenient to come to our city in 1928. It
will probably be Roseburg's last chance to entertain these
veterans, for death is rapidly thinning their ranks there
are less than 800 in Oregon and in a few years they will
be living only in tender memories. , The city will find it an
easy, as well as pleasant, privilege to act as host to the vet
erans, for long association with tho members of the state
soldiers' home here has brought intimate knowledge of their
needs for comfort and preferences for forms of entertain
ment, and tho state home itself will doubtless take a promi
nent part in the encampment program. Veterans and mem
bers of auxiliary organizations who mot at Salem this week
numbered a total of about 500. Roseburg hopes to see at
least that many guests at the 1!)28 meeting and as many
more as can come. They will find the city highly deserving
of its reputation for cordial hospitality.

HELLO, MILLENIUM!
A soft-crumbed crackor, a non-shoulder-pricking
cracker, a crack
er that the most timid of men can
eat boldly In bed, has just been
Invented, a dispatch from Chicago
discloses. Those who hitherto
have refrained from the dellrioue
delight of having their wafers id
the hay, through fear of wounds,
bruises, neckotosls or seven-year-
Itch oan gratify their passion now.
. . . We are feverishly awaiting
the full page ad showing Senator
j.' Boqmboom .McWhorter with a
broad smile, 'saying "They feel
finol"- Alongside Is a less fortun
ate fellow who has eaten his crack
ers hard., He has his shoulders to
the post.' He winces, grimaces,
scratches. "Probably half this
man's life is spent scratching the
ticklish abrasions that result from
the friction of non-resilient cracker
orumbs in bed," the ad will tell
you. Verily, America is the seat
of wisdom.

ubout 300 feet from tho road and

Wo stayed at this location about
ono week and then moved to what
Is known as Camp number 2, re
maining there several days trying
out the detonating machlno nnd
doing considerable target practice
and studying the topography of tho
country. While at thin camp It
wiih decided that wo would burn

Auto Flight Plannod
The latter pan of September,
1S2H, It was decided that Hugh
should return In tho Nasli car to
ral her at Kugeuo, for the reason
that it could not be ured In Ihe
getaway. It was Intended that if
successful lu the robbery that I
would go to Eugene and get this
cur, come back and get my broth
ers and make, our escape.
"Hugh ran into a cow on the Sis
kiyou mountains and had lo stay
In Ashland until his car was re
paired. This naturally made Hugh
late In returning. Ho finally re
turned lo us at Camp number 2,
about September 110, 1112:1.

at tho north entrauco to test

and tho engine wau just Bturling
out tho south' entrance when 11
came to a stop. At tills time ltoy
was on tho buck end ot tha oil
tank, Hugh was lu Ihe cab with
the engineer and fireman, I was
beside tho dynamlto inside the

and 1 attempted to shoot hint with

up to tho engiuu cab and Hugh
made the fireman and .engineer get
down on the right hand side' uf the
gangway of the engine. Wo drove
them up clear of the front end of
the tunnel where tlley would be
safe from debris., ltoy gave the
detonator a push nnd the lnouth
of the t uanol was filled with
amalcti; as a result of the explosion
of the chui-go of dynamite, which
had been placed against the front
door of tho mall' car., lioy 'then
took tile fireman and started hack
to uncouple the jnall car. The
gases wore too much for tho fire
man nnd Roy sent him back.
Brakeman's Death Told
"Tile fireman and engineer wore
covered by Hugh and myself and
lu a few seconds I saw someone
with a red light on the right hand
side of the train. (I later found
that tills was tho brakemun lioy
had sont forward to have tile en
gine move the mall car ahead.) I
shot at this man with the red
light with my shotgun and at I lie
same limo Hugh shot him with
his -la Coll, the man staggered up
to .me and muttered "that other
fellow said to pull tho thing
ahead,' so tar us I could make out.
I seen ho was dying and cither
Hugh or t shot him again.
"The engineer was standing on
the ground during this time nnd
Hugh put him back up into Ihe
cnb and told him lo pull the mall
car ahead, ami he attempted to do
so a number of times, but the en
gine wheeia merely spun around
and ho failed to move. Hugh then
put tho engineer back on the
ground beside Ihe fireman while
ltoy and 1 looked the tiling over
to see what could bo done with a
view io uncoupling the mall

ed to go out tlie same way.
Ordoal Ages Hugh.
They were far from a Jolly trio
of brothers wlron they entered the
prison gato this morning. Hugh,
Ihe youngest, the debonair, the
hoy who throughout Ills trial de
fied all efforts to break him, was
the most iiervous of the three
when, they wore ushered into the
turnkey's office this morning. He
Is only 2:1, but ho looked twice that
age. with face pale and lined after
three years of what he himself has
described as "hell.
The hoys had nothing to Bay
wane tney were changing their
clothing for prison attire. Only
Itay spoke a few words to an of
ficer relative to some of his be
longings. Once Hugh whispered
to tne officer to whom he was
shackled.
Tell-Tala Toe Nail.
A3 the boys sat stripped In the
turnkey's office, an officer pointed
to tne pig too on itay's left foot.
:' "Thorn la one of Hay's Identifi
cation marks." ho said.
The toe nail was black from
some old Injury. Roy bleached his
nair in steuiienviiio with peroxide,
but failed to change the color of
the toe nail and It seems that
Uncle Sam often notices details.
The lads wore in time for break
fast at the prison, and It was ex
pected they would be allowed to go
to ihe dining room wllh the other
convicts after being assigned to
their cells.
Superintendent Henry W. Mey
ers Bald ho would put the three at
hard labor in the lime and flax
plants of the prison. "I under
stand they havo been working In
Steel, nnd they oughtrto be able
to stand hard1 work," said Meyers.
No Fourth Man Sought. '
PORTLAND. Ore.. June 24
There never was nny theory hold
by the postal Inspectors at work
on the Siskiyou tunnel holdup case
that a fourth man was involved.
This woh slated positively today
by Charles B. Welter, Inspector In
chnriro of the Portland office. -
"While there may have been
some speculation among the pub
lic lhat a fourth man was con
cerned," said Welter, "but the of
ficers nt work never sought any
one except the DeAutremont broth
ers." At the penitentiary today the
prison number 9902 was assigned
to Hugh DeAutremont, nnd num
bers 91103 and 3904 respectively to
Roy and Ray, the twins.
Sheriff Jennings said that on the
train last night the boys described
to him tho place where they cach
ed tho shotgun used by them In
tho robbery. He said he believed
he would be able to find the wea
pon. , , -

P. Thayer, secretary of the United
Stales senate, as a means to as
sure tho supremacy of the United
States In world aviation, proposes
the organization ot a junior air
fonce among the boys of Ihe na
tion, and in a letter to Governor
Patterson asks the opinion of the
Oregon executive.
: He believes the organization
should he similar lo that of the
Boy Scouts. First he would havo
a three-year enlistment for ground
instruction, the group to go known
aa "The Boy Aviators of Amer
ica." From this they would gradu
ate into a second degree to be
known as the "Junior Air RoserveB

completing tills grade would bo
come flyers, either military or com

Bald, "All right, 1 surely will, but
not tonight It's getting pretty

It did no good tor them to plead,
bo after while they all agreed,
und in about ' an hour, they were
lost In slumberland. All through
the night they slept real Bound. At
dawn they Jumped up with a
bound, quite rested up, and also
pleased they'd done aa Scouty
planned.
They found a nice spot, gather
ed 'round and all sat down upon
the ground. Wee Scouty shortly
crawled right In the middle ot the
ring, and then he said, "Be quiet
now, and I will gladly tell you how
I got along away down in the
stream, and everything."
For many hours they sat real
still and Scouty gave them q ute

"That 1b all,", the TinymlteB be
