SAYS PAROLES EXECUTED
POLITICAL EFFECT.
FOR
Governor S&ld to Have Sallied Fund
i , for Convict to Leave. ;
(Pendleton Live Wire.)
That the much heralded 'prison pa
role system Governor Oswald West
is in reality an established system for
the distribution of political patronage
instead of a scientific move for the
reform of criminals has become ap
parent through the methods pursued
in eltectlng the release of W. W. At
Jield, convicted of (embezzlement in
this county more than a year ago and
committed to the state penitentiary at
Salem. . . ;
On August 1, so the records in the
office of , the governor show, Atfleld
was released on a conditional pardon
or parole, "which local acquaintances
of the man have every reason to be
lieve ne nas since violated. Mis re
lease was made without any petition
from citizens, or o far as can be as
certained, without any request other
than that of Will M. Peterson of Pen
dleton, chairman of the democratic
county central committee of Umatilla
county, j an avowed candidate from
Congregs from this) district and the at
iorney who put up a strong defense
for Atfteld at the time of his trial be
fore then Circuit Judge H. J. Bean,
who has since become an associate
justice of the state supreme court.
Atfleld," greatly to the Buprprise of
Pendleton acquaintances, appeared In
this city August 2. " To friends who in
quired how he obtained his release
within less than a year ot hie convic
tion, the ex-convict admitted that he
did not know, except that he supposed
Influence bad been brought to bear.
Governor Snilled Funds. -
He declared that on the previous
day the warden of the state peniten
tiary at Salem had been instructed to
provide Atfleld with a new suit of
clothes and release him. Atfield re
ported to the governor and asserted
here that the latter produced a $20
gold pifloa from his pocket, banding It
to the' paroled convict: with instruc
tions to proceed to Pendleton, there to
await Instructions which the chief ex
ecultlve promised would errlva- In
Pendleton in due time. :
Without heBltatlng to Inquire re
garding the manner of his release. At
fisld followed instructions and came
to Pendleton, entering his name on
August 3 on the reglater of the Bow
man hotel. For perhaps a . week he
remained there, paying his rent daily
In advance.: Then he departed, saying
that he was going to Walla Walla and
that he expected to return In a few
days. Atfleld'has nevy returned, and
If he carried out his Intention to via'i
Walla Walla, he has violated parole
by leaving the Btate.
Conrt Officers Ignored.
A letter from Justles H. J. Bean,
written from Newport, declares that'
as far as he knows, the matter of At
fl eld's pardon or parole , was never
bought to his attention, nor was he
asltsd for a statement of facts. Judga
Gilbert W. PhelpB of the circuit court
of tills district, who was deputy dis
trict attorney and prosecuted the case
against Atfleld a year ago, declares
that "he has newr been asked for. any
recommendation. So far as the records
ishow, no demand was made for At
fleld's release and no petition ever was
presented. V
' Tor that matter, the records of Uma
tilla and Morrow county courts show
that at no time since Governor West
is8umed gubernatorial duties has any
Irrespective parole or pardon been re
ferred to a prosecutor or Judge for
recommendation or for a statement of
facts, nor do the local police authori
ties know of any case in which Gov
ernor West has asked their opinion,
although a number of criminals quite
recently sentenced from this county
are now enjoying freedom here. '
Follows Peterson's YIkH.
' The reappearance of Atfleld in Pen
dleton followed ' a visit 'of Attorney
Peterson 'to Salem.. To this' and the
rather Irregular manner In which tha
convict obtained hia release local men
familiar with the facts attach the
belief (hat Atfield's parole, or pardon,
was granted simply on the request of
the chairman ot the Umatilla county
democratic central committee, who
had received a retainer for the man's
defense. ''
WVa Atfleld less than a year ago
was on trial before Judge Bean bis
case attracted great attent on, and he
came In for a large amount of censure
After making a confession that he had
embezzled funds pf the-express com
pany, by whom he was employed as
agent at Umatilla, he repudiated the
statement, attempted to throw odium
on Chief of Police Gurdane, who had
befriended him, and sought to cast re
sponsibility for the crime on an inno
cent fellow workman named Wrenn.
The Jury promptly returned a ver
dict of guilty and Judge Bean did not
hesitate to impose' an indeterminate
sentence of not less than one or more
than ten years In the state penl'en
tlary. Feeling against the man ran
rather high at the time of bis convic
tion, but as public Interest in the case
waned he became forgotten, and until
his reappearance n fhia cityon August
3 and his statement that he was unac
quainted with the manner of his re
lease, it was supposed that he was
still serving the sentence for which a
large amount of the taxpayers' money
bad been spent to' convict him.

Baker, Ore., Aug. 29. That a news
paper war will be waged in Hunting

editor of the Huntington Herald, was
made certain this morning when arti
cles of incorporation of the Hunting
ton News company were filed with the
county clerk at Baker. The company
is capitalized at $1,250, and proposes
to establish a newspaper and do , a
gene raf printing' business! ' Tha in

Mack ,Oa. S. ' Fraser', . F. M. Beck and
W. J. Woods. , ::
The incorporation comes as a pro
test by the business men of the pol
icy of the Herald In relation to the
"open town" conditions which it al
leges obtains in Huntington and fol
lows a meeting of the business men
Of the city lii tfhleh pTans'were made,

New Insurance Locates Here.
We have Just accepted the local
agency of the General Fire Assurance
company of Paris, France. This is
the oldest French company in exist
ence, having been established in the
year 1819. Its board of directors in
clude some of the best known French
financiers, such as Baron Edouard de
Rothschild, regent of the Bank ot
France Baron de Neufllze, also regent i
of the Bank of France. This company
has bnly recently Invaded the United
States, having made the required de
posit and secured license to. do busi
ness in this country. Its general
agency for the Pacific coast has Just
been let to Dooley and company, Port
land, and we; have the honor to, be
among the first agents appointed on
the coast. The insurance laws of the
United States prohibit foreign com
panies advertising their foreign assets
In this country the General Fire there-
ofre advertises only .its American as
set in this country.' Its present net
surplus In this country Is $525,999.78,
which places it well to he front in
financial strength. . .J.: , .

CHEYENNE SECOND BEST.
Pendleton Show Considered Better
-Than Old Cheyenae Performance.
The Roundup is a far better show J
in evry way than the much vaunted
Frontier days of Cheyenne, according
to sneriir T, D. Taylor, J. Roy Raley
and Carl Powers," who returned this
noon from attending ' the Cheyenne
celebration, relates the Pendleton Live
Wire. ' ; -., ',.:'r-.
The outlaw horses which will be I
seen in action in thia city are Just as!
good or better buckers, the riders are
Just as good or bettor bronco busters,
and the spirit and vim which charac-
terizes the local show is laid to be
far better than that ot the Wyoming
affair.
In eaying this the Pendleton en
do not belittle the Cheyenne show,
whlcb,they declare to be a marvelous
affair, second only to the Pendleton
exhibition. ,
The saddles whiclf are to be offered
at the Roundup were far superior to
anything ever offered In Cheyenee, and
attracted great, attention at the hands
of the big crowds. Many of the best
riders there signified their intention
of coming to Pendleton for the Round
up and trying for the trophies. ?
