This Is the case of a 28-year-old Corvallls man, married and with two children, who has con fessed burglarizing the Interstate Tractor Co., in Roseburg in 1945, The man's name was withheld. District Attorney Robert G. Da vis said a man called his office and said, "I want to confess a burglary." "Go tell It tov the police. I'm busy," Davis told him, not be lieving the man to be serious. He did. He reported at the sher iff's office and told his story to Deputy A. A. "Red" Eckhardt. Eckhardt took him upstairs to Davis' office In the courthouse, and the man signed a confession. "I. . .do hereby admit the bur glary of Interstate Tractor of Roseburg, Oregon, In the sum mer of 1945," he stated in the confession. I feel It my duty to report this of my own free will without any force. I have since this time served a two-year pa role." He said he made entrance through the boiler room door. Approximate amount solen was $200 from the cash box. "I used 'a handkerchief at all times as a Rlove, and used the money for family expenses. I was unarmed at the time of this crime. To gain entrance I forced the screen on the Inside of the door, covering the ventilation opening, and unlocked the door. The man was not held, inas much as the statutory limitation for prosecution of such a felony Is three years, said Davis. There are exceptions to this rule, he added, In cases , of homicide, or any case where it can be proved the person has left the state or has otherwise been In hiding from the law. Since the man had served out a parole with a clear record on another charge, the of ficers considered it inadvisable to seek prosecution.
