GRANDE OREGON
State of Oregon, County of Union
. .SS:
t, E. W. EaRtman, after being first
duly sworn upon my oath depose and
say: '
That today September 12, 1917 at
about 3 o'clock p. m. one O'Leary
came to me as a client saying he was
nrr.ested by Chief of Police Reyburn
fci smoking a cigar (smoll cigar)
I went over to the Police Station with
Mr. O' Leary to ask the Chief of
Police about it and could not find
him,so we went together down the
street to look for him. We met Mr.
Reyburn in front of Hughe's Cigar
Store and I politely asked hm what
lie had arrested the boy for and he
said for' smoking cigarettes. I then
told him the boy said it was a cigar
and that you (Mr. Reyburn) told
the boy that it was all the same.
told him that he had told Mr. Ware
not to sell any more of those little
cigar and he said he did not say
ro but that he told him not to sell
any more (CIGAR-ETTES), however
what he meant I do not know. We
.talked the matter over. I telling him
that the boy had a right to smoke
little cigars and then he got insulting
and said he did not want to have any
thing to do with me and in the pre
i many witnesses, at least a
dozen, and just as. I was turning to
go he said:
"You pin-head." I turned and
told him he had not better call me a
yin head on the stree and he re
liueu in mese woras: xou are a
PIN-HEAD AND WITHOUT VIS
IBLE MEANS OF SUPPORT. I uicn
told him I would have him charged
with slander. He said all right. Mr,
u Jii. M,oran was one of the wit
nesses. There were many more and
as this affidavit js addressed to the
uty commissioners of La Grande
Oregon, I shall get other witnesses'
names.
, I swear to this affidavit and hand
ic to the Commissioners for the
reason that I think no Police Officer
has a right to nbuse a citzen in the
peaceful occupation of asking him
some questions.
