Supreme Court Evidence Gathers Dust
Exhibits Hold Memories of Tragedies '
By ERIC W. ALLEN. JR.
SALEM, Ore., April 20 (UP) Dust is slowly gathering on a record
of raany human tragedies and comedies in a basement near the
eapitol building here.
You can see a crushed bicycle on which a small boy lost his life,
or a handful of preserved bedbugs. There's a model of an ice-crushing
machine in which a man lost an arm, and a woman's slipper.
There s a defunct shotgun used
in a watermelon-patch fracas,
and a set of obstetrical tools used
in an illegal operation.
These and many other objects
and records are slowly moulder
ing away in the basement of the

quitoes each of us knew the
others weren't asleep.
Suddenly Bird Dog sat up
and pulled down his socks and
started scratching. Fleas were
after him. Even the grass has
fleas in it over herel
For some strange reason I am
immune to fleas. Half the boys
are red welted with hundreds of
itchy little flea bites, but I have
never had one.
But I'm the world's choicest
morsel for mosquitoes. And mos
leftovers from trials and -appeals
now mostly forgotten.
Arthur Benson, clerk of 'the
supremo court, took me through
the basement. And it is a fasci

full of old memories of murder
and injury and anger.
An old whisky bottle contains
the bedbugs a leftover from a
rise in Portland where one dis
gruntled person presumably
found them in a bed.
There are maps and photo
graphs and documents, all of

morning I wake up with at least
one eye swollen shut.
That was the. way it was all
night, with all of us me with
a double dose of mosquitoes, all
the rest with a mixture of mos
quitoes and fleas. You could
hear marines hughfully cussing
all night long around the hill
side. Suddenly there was a ter
rible outburst just down-hill from
us and a marine came jumping
out into the moonlight, cussing
and jerking at his clothes.
'I can t stand these things any
longer," he cried. "I've got to
ake my clothes off."
We all laughed under our
ponchos while he stood there in
the moonlight and stripped off
every stitch, even though it was
very chilly. He shook and
brushed his clothes, doused them
with insect powder and then put
them back on.
This unforturtate soul was

he is 33 years old.
Pop is a "character." He has
a black beard and even in the
front lines he wears a khaki

I After Pop went back to bed
I everything became quiet for
several hours, but hardly any
body was asleep. The next
morning the boys on guard said
that Pop must have smoked
three packs of cigarels that
night. It was the same way
with Bird Dog, Gross and Me.
One of the boys on guard came
to wake my bedmates at a quar
ter till one, but they weren't
asleep. I thought maybe I could
get "to (sleep while' they wcie
away, but I didn't. The Mosqui
toes were really crucifying me.
The boys came back about
2 o'clock and took off their shoes
and lay down. With my blanket
over the three of us we were as
warm as toast. At least we had I
that advantage. I
All night without evon rais
where one person or another felt
strongly enough to take the case-
to the supreme court. '
The most interesting exhibits
to me, a layman, were those con
cerned with the cases of crimes
ol violence but the bulk of the
evidence pertains to those cases
vhich are less interesting except
to a lawyer.
There arc briefs and documents
of all kinds. There are diagrams
of accidents, and maps of disput
ed property. In a corner of the
building rests a stone which fell
on a man near a railroad track
in central Oregon. It is still here
as no one ever claimed it.
Many of the exhibits have
been claimed by the original
owners, while some have been
icqucstcd by the lawyers who
plead the cases. Police depart
ments often like to keep as sou
venirs the exhibits in cases in
which they have figured.
But many stay in the supreme
court basement and there they
will remain, catching more dust. .

were shelling the southern part
and also shooting flares to
light up the front lines in the
south.
Thele were times wlii;n we
could actually ere reelhot shells,
traveling horizontally the whole
length of their flight, 10 miles
away from us, and then see them
xplode.
Every now and then through
out the night our own company's
mortars were called upon to shoot
i flare over the beach behind
us, just to make sure nothing
was coming in.
Once there was a distinct rustl
ing of the bushes in front of us.
Of course the first thing I thought
if was a Jap.
But then I figured a Jap
wouldn't make that much noise
and finally I decided it was one
of the horses the mortar boys had
omnia ndcered, crashing through
the bushes. And that's what it
turned out to be.
Pop Taylor had the Jap idea,
at first. The next morning
Brady" Bradshaw, who was
sleeping with Pop, said Pop
hook him violently during the
night to wake him up and borrow
1 .45, just in case. Brady laughed
and laughed about it, for lying

carbines, two shotguns and Pop's

Your "E" Bond Ptsrehases
for April, May ami June
-- Count in thv 7ih War
Loan Invest All You
Possibly Can!
Union County's "E" Bond
Quota Is $741,000 Nearly
50 More Than In Any Pre
vious Bond Drive!
This is a drive to "top" all drives ... a drive for funds to fi-'
nance the vital war effort that is so critical right now ... a drive
to keep prices down and prevent inflation and to protect the
democratic way of life for which your sons and daughters arc
fighting.
From the schedule on the opposite page, in an advertise
ment addressed to your employer, you can easily ascertain the
amount of "E" Bonds that uncle Sam is asking you to buy. Don't
place the responsibility upon your employer . . . advise him at
once to make equal payroll deductions from your check for the
purchtise of "E" Bonds, or if you desire a different plan for de
ductions let him know your preference. This method of purchase
during April, May and June by increased payroll allotment is
arranged to assist you in easily meeting your bond purchasing
obligations. To do your full share also invest all your surplus
savings . . . you get $4 for every $3 that you invest and you have
the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing your share in
helping to win the war.
It will be a job that must interest every single employee in
Union county if this county is to raise its quota. $741,000 is near
ly BQ'c grater than that required in any previous drive. It
means that you will have to at least buy according' to the at
tached schedule which is based on county payrolls. Buy more if
you can.
Again, we say . . . it's your quota . . . it's up to you.
