GONE WITH THE BKEEZE
Came Halloween with all' its woes,
Its trickery and spooky clothes;
But brother, that can’t bother me,
All I want is honesty! .
Our name plate’s gone! .
With winter chills and fog about
’Thus all that I could figure out
To lead me to that sought-for door
Where ‘Sigma Kappa’ hangs no
more.
Our name plate’s gone!
I slaved and scrubbed its shiny
face
It was not tarnished any place.
My frosh attempt to get a merit,
I miss it, robber, I can’t bear it!
Our name plate’s gone!
To anyone whose bedroom wall
Supports this cherished name
plate, small,
My heart cries out most bitterly
“Return! There’ll' be no penalty!”
Our name plate’s gone!

Mystery Shrouds
(Continued from f>ai/e four)
When McCabe arrived Thursday
morning young Zumwalt concluded
that he had come to argue about
the disagreement Zumwalt had
had previously with McCabe’s son
William. As a result of the in
creasing tension, both men were
primed for a quarrel.
Following Zumwalt’s death, an
inquest was held over the remains
of the unfortunate youth. The
jury returned the folowing ver
dict:
“That the deceased, Albert
Monroe Zumwalt, aged 20 years,
a native of Oregon, came to his
oath by a blow on the head by
the hand of James McCabe on
the 27th day of April, 1876, in |
Mohawk Valley, Lane County, j
Oregon.
W. W. Benjamin,
John Skinner,
J. B. Kas,
F. Welch,
» John Brown,
J. M. Rankin,
Jurors.”
Warrant of Arrest
A commitment was filed with
the county clerk, and a warrant of
arrest was isued by James T.
Brown, justice of the peace, for
James McCabe who was charged
with second degree murder.
Sheriff S. B. Eakin was unable
tb apprehend the slayer until Sat
urday, April 29th, when McCabe
came into town and gave himself
up, pleading not guilty to the
murder charge.
After preliminary examinations
before Justice Brown, it was eon
c luded that the evidence was not
of a character to sustain the mur
der charge, and McCabe was bound
over in the sum of $5000 to answer
to the charge of manslaughter.
He was held in custody of the
sheriff until May 10, 1376 when his
sail was filed, and he was released.
Case Postponed
Difficulties involved in procur
ng sufficient witnesses postponed
:lie case until late fall. The first
dial was held in the circuit court
if Lane county. The Eugene court
louse overflowed with citizens who
.vere curious to know the outcome.
The circumstances surrounding
Zumwalt's death was well known
jy the people who held definite
ipinions concerning the crime.
Sides were taken and the trial de
veloped into a city debate.
Both men involved in the case
-vere “numerously related”
hroughout the county which ad
led to the problem of securing a
air and impartial jury.
The case was dragged in and out
if various courts through the win
:er of 18*6 and 1S77. No verdict
.vas reached.
Finally, after three trials, a sec
md “motion to dismiss” the case
,vas filed on April 17, 1878. It was
iccepted because it appeared that
in unbiased trial was not to be
iad, and that there was no proba
jility that a conviction could be
ibtained in Lane county.
Enraged at this misplacement of
justice, the family of the deceased
rrected the accusatory tombstone.
Later, the McCabe family recip
rocated by suing the Zumwalt's
:or libel. They hoped to force the
removal of the branding words
murdered by J. E. McCabe.” No
rourt action was taken.
Tombstone Re-Erected
Over the years, the tombstone
ias been torn apart, and chipped
periodically, always to be re-erect
rd by some of Zumwalt's relatives.
One time the stone disappeared
mtirely and was found several
months later at the bottom of a
ocal millrace when the race was
trained to permit repairs on the
rhannel walls. Recently, a new and
poorly cemented patch has been
noticed on the left side of the
stone.
Today this tombstone, held to
gether by cement and wire, still
proclaims James McCabe a mur
derer. Only time can reveal what
the final outcome of this contro
versy will be, and how long' it v ill
continue. In the meantime, it pre
sents an interesting topic for lo
cal speculation.
