Earl R- Shelton Found
Guilty In Robbery Cat
(Continued from Page One)'
cumslantlal evidence around the
defendant, a cook by trade who
has one previous felony convic
tion and a tew more minor scrapes
with the law.
It was alleged Shelton picked up
Dragoo at a Drain tavern aijd told
him he would take him home. Dra
goo is a farm worker, 'iving east
of Highway 99. The district attor
ney brought out that Shelton went
out Highway 38, stopped two miles
east of Elkton, slugged and rob
bed Dragoo, then drove on to
Reedsport,
Dep. Sheriff John McCool of
Drain and Reedsport Police Sgt.
Ray Hass told of various incon
sistencies in what the defendant
told them at the time of his ar
rest. The arrest was made by
Reedsport officers about a day
after the crime.
The district attorney accused
Shelton of telling five different
stories. It was contended he first
denied stopping at the Drain tav
ern, then that . he said he had
never seen. Dragoo before in his
life. Both Dragoo and oarlender
Joe Edmondson identified Shelton
a few hours after the arrest.
On the stand, Shelton admitted
everything up to the point where
he slopped on the highway with
Dragoo. He said Dragoo told him
he thought he was on the wrong
road, so he let the man out and
drove away. Both had been drink
ing. Dragoo had said that Shelton
struck him with a shiny, object,
which he believes was a gun. When
arrested, Selton had no gun, but
did. have a wrench in his coat
pocket.
Shelton had a ready answer and
alibi for each contention brought
by his accusers. For example, he
said he found the wrench in Reeds
port, along the dock where he
went to look at a boat.
Shelton's glib performance on
the stand prompted Stults to re
mark in his argument sefore the
jury that the story must have
been "rehearsed a thousand
times." He-: questioned . whether
Shelton was telling the truth on
the stand, since he had lied so
many times to the officers who
arrested him.
Ray Compton, who with Donald
S. Kelley defended Shelton, accus
ed Stults Of "making much ado
about nothing." Compton and Kel
ley both pounded away at "rea
sonable doubt" and the. fact the
state had the burden to prove its
allegations.
During the course of the trial
Compton tried to have -he indict
ment tossed out of court on
grounds U should have read "while
armed with i dangerous weapon."
The wrench introduced into evi
dence is a dangerous weapon, he
asserted, and, also, Dragoo testi
fied he was hit with, a gun.
Judge . , W'mberly , overrated
Compton's motion and left the
matter up to the jury. The judge
later gave them a definition of
what a dangerous weapon Is.
Shelton was calm as the jury re
turned its verdict, but his wife
was visibly .upset. Shelton was
married .while, ,out on bail await
ing trial.' Bail of $3,000 was, con
tinued on 'Shelton Thursday night.

Reedsport Judge
Case Is Delayed
Until February 4
Further court action ' over the
-constitutionality of Reedsport's
city charter has been delayed un
til t en. 4. .
A. N. Orcutt, judge pro tern,
granted , a delay Friday ' morning
in Douglas County Circuit Court
when one attorney asked addition
al time - to file a brief.
A test case' of lhe city's charter
is being made to determine if it is
in violation of the Constituion'i
guarantee of trial by jury.
The charter expressly prohibits
jury trials for-cases where a city
provides only for trials before the
city magistrate, with right of ap
peal to the decision.
The test case began Monday
when a petition was filed asking
Municipal Judge Irving Johnson
be forced to give a jury trial to
Lloyd Noel, arrested Jan. 8 for
driving while intoxicated. Noel's
attorney is D. D. Hail.
Johnson's attorney filed a de
murrer, pointing out that a city
judge does not have authority to
grant the jury trial.
The attorney," William "Jayne,
appeared in court Friday morn
ing after Judge Carl E. Wimberly
issued an order to show cause why
a writ should not be issued to
force a iurv trial in Johnson's
court. More maneuvers in the case
are due Feb. 4. ,
District Judge
Continues Hearing
On O&C Petition
WASHINGTON I District
Court Judge Alexander Holtzoff
Friday continued for two weeks a
hearing on a petition by C'sckamas
County, Ore., seeking to force dis
tribution of 7 million dollars to 13
Western Oregon counties.
He acted after the government
urged postponement pending dis
position of a proposed application
to the Supreme Court for dismissal
of the county's suit.
A. W. Lafferty, Portland, attor
ney for the county, urged the mo
tion be granted.
The action results from a suit
seeking distribution of timber sale
receipts impounded pending settle
ment of a controversy whether
472,000 acres of Western Oregon
timber land should be considered
part of the Oregon and California
(O & C) Railroad Land Grant or
the national forest.
As O&C land, the counties
would receive 75 per cent of the
receipts. Only 25 per cent would
go to them if the lands were na
tional forest land.
Holtzoff dismissed the county's
action last spring but was over
ruled by the Court of Appeals
which ordered the case returned
to District Court. The county then
asked District Court for a final
judgment, leading tg Friday's
hearing.

ies were manifold, in that all pur
chase of books was left up to the
board, and payment of bills was
also handled personally by the
board secretary. In recent years
lhe librarian selects new books,
the board approves and enters a
requisition, and the city, through
the city recorder's office, approves
or disapproves the requisition.
Mrs. Roberts agreed this was
more efficient for handling the
greatly increased needs of the li
brary.
In contrast, the library, at the
beginning of her service, kept one
full-time librarian, with an occa
sional assistant, while the present
librarian has two full-time assist
ants, with one part-time library
assistant being provided for.
Even though she is no longer
active on the board. Mrs. Roberls
maintains a close interest in the
library and the coming construc-
Ba-!"tion of the proposed county
U-
brary. "It's nice," she said, "to
know that every time I walk to
town 1 will pass the county li
brary, which is what we worked
so long to see. Instead of serving
just a few, we will see readers
from all over Douglas County,
young and old alike, enjoying the
books that it is impossible to find
room for in our present restricted
quarters."

CLEVELAND I ' On a snow

was buried Thursday next to his
wife.
His son, Dr. Samuel H. Shep
pard watched the rites handcuffed
to a deputy, as he was 11 days
ago at the burial of his mother,
who killed herself.
The elder osteupath succumbed
Tuesday night to a respiratory ail

fore his 31-year-old son was found
guilty of bludgeoning his pregnant
wife to death last July 4 and
sentenced to life imprisonment.
The, Dec. 21 conviction is being
appealed.
Chief of staff at the Bay View
Osteopathic Hospital he founded,
the father of three osteopaths had
been in critical condition since
Jan. 7, when Ethel Sheppard, also
64, shot herself in the head after
leaving a note saying, "I can't
manage any longer without dad."
Only some 30 friends and rela

handful of spectators observed the
private rites.
Two other sons, attending the
services, said the elder Sheppard
"lost his will to live" after the
suicide of his wife.
At the funeral home, police stood
by to prevent interference by cur
ious. At Mrs. Sheppard's funeral
hundreds crowded about the mor
tuary and later at the cemetery,
peering at the family.
Across the street from the funer
al home, five middle aged women
huddled in the doorway of a gro
cery store. First they denied they
were there to watch the funeral,
but then one admitted, "we want
to see Sam."
A group of about 10 reporters
and photographers waited behind
the funeral home, ordered by po
licemen to stay next to .the 'mjrtu-,
