Confession Good
.For Soul; Man
Gives Self Up
He confessed his sins, has re
pented and has been forgiven
at least in tne eyes 01 tne law.
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.
