ty Judg for Two Years.
Judge Thomas J. Cleeton, ot Tort
land, has recently been experleuciug
some uncertainties of Judicial Ute,
brought about by an act of the 1913
! session ot the legislature, which
! legislated htm out of his job ae
! county Judge and made him a circuit
I Judge, empowering him to handle all
probato matters of that county The
constitutionality ot the act was re
! cently questioned, and in order to
get Judge Cleton definitely located
ed In a Judicial sense, ruling by
the supreme court was necessary
This opinion was written by Justice
Frank A. Moore, and given out on
October 24, the gist ot which abol
ishes department six oft he circuit
court ot Multnomah county, which
Judge Cleeton has presided over tor
nearly two years, holds that portion
of the act valid which created
board of county commissioners for
Multnomah county, and extending
the term ot office as county Judgo
from four to six years. Hence, Judge
Cleeton will remain as county Judge
until January 1, 1917, having for
his duties only the disposition of all
probate matters. An excerpt from
Justice Moore's opinion is given be
low, as being ot general Interest
throughout the state:
"It is conceded that the provl-
' slons ot section S of chapter 378 of
ot the General Laws of Oregon of
1913, which undertook to abolish
the office ot county Judge of Mult
nomah County was void," said the
court in stating that Judge Cleeton
was county Judge. 'Notwithstand
ing the county Judge ot that county
was, by such act, attempted to be
appointed a circuit Judge, as he
never resigned, he remained in of
flee as the de Jure county judge of
that county. It appears that Judge
Cleeton was duly elected county
judge of Multnomah county, Nov
ember 8, 1910, at which time the
organle act ot Oregon was amended
making the term of all judges of all
courts in this state six years. This
amendment was ratified and he was
elected when the polls closed on the
evening oft he day of the election
As the choice of such county judge
and the approval ot the amendment
of section 1 of article 7 ot the tun
damental law occurred simultane
ously, that amended organic act was
In force when Judge Cleeton war
elected and his term of office Is nec
essarily six years from the first
Monday in January, 1911.
"Judge Cleeton being thus the le
gitimate county judge of Multno
mah county, all orders, judgment
and decrees made, given or rendered
by him since he assumed the duties
of that office are valid, and binding,
so far as the right to hear and de
termine matters coming before him
In probate and guardianship pro
codings are concerned."

dents who took part In the running
down of John Wilkes Ilooth, Presl
dent Lincoln's assassin, died this
morning at the home of his son,
Joseph E. Milllngton, 570 Sumner
street, aftor an Illness of throe years
of cancer. He was 70 years old.
Milllngton and E. Paraduy, of
4317 East Sixty-third streot, were
members of Company H, Sixteenth
New York Cavalry, when Ilooth. on
the night ot April 14, 1865, shot
President Lincoln In Ford's theatre.
They were ordered with the rest
of the company, to Washington, as
military escort at the funeral. V.mi
days later this company was sent for
and placed at the service of the
Washington chief of detectives.
They boarded the steamer John S.

the Potomac river, leaving the boat
that night about 10 o'clock at Aqula
Creek. Their hunt for Booth wai.
continued all that nlitht. and th
next day went to tho direction of
Port Royal.
It was learned that a Confodomin
officer named Captain Jott had been
seen with a soldier sunnoaml in h
wounded. They were reported to be
heading for Bowling Green, and a
hunt was then made for them there,
as Jett had a sweetheart living In
the town.
Jett was discovered hidden In
hotel, and by threats was Indureil
to lead the party to a farmhouse
near there where he had left Booth.
Arriving there, the occunants of
the house denied anv Vnnwt,.,i
of Booth's presence, but the house
and barn were surrounded. A Con
federate soldier came from the barn,
acknowledging that Booth was eon.
cealed there with David Horold, a
confederate officer.
The party talked to Booth. wh
refused to surrender, and asked that
he be given a chance to fight his pur
suers, one at a time. This was de-
nted, and he then requested that
Herold be allowed to leave the barn
refusing to surrendor.hlmself.
This was granted, and soon nftor.
