THE GOVERNOR
VISITS SHEPHERD
Appeal t Made for a Commuta
tion of the Death
Penalty.
A Salem difpalch to the Oregoni
an says that in res Hns to many
requests (or a commutation of the
sentence of death, Governor Cham
berlain went to the penitentiary
and visited Fred A. Shepherd, who
in condemned to hang next Friday
for the murder of his employer,
lien, .ell, in Crook county, last
summer, The Governor is satis
fied that Shepherd is a degenerate,
but is not satisfied that he is so
mentally and morally incompetent
as to he irresponsible.
Shepherd admits his crime and
recites the details. His story is
that Mrs. Zell planned the murder,
but as all the circumstances dis
credit this it looks like another in
stance of the man trying to throw
the blame upon a woman. Shep
herd is not worrying over his fate,
but jokes about death upon the
gallows, and a few days ago secur
ed permission to visit the execu
tion chamber He is represented
to be an ignorant man of small
moral jierception.
Among those who called upon
the Governor in his behalf were
Thomas Humes, J. H. Geddes and
Thomas Butler, of Linn county,
who have known Shepherd since
boyhood. Shepherd went to school
to Geddes, and the latter says he
was always weak mentally. The
Governor has written to Trial
Judge Frazer and District attorney
Menefee for their opinions of the
case. '
Awaits Result of Appeal.
Representative Williamson, in a
letter to the Oregonian, says he
has no idea of serving sentence.
He writes. "In The Sunday Ore
gonian of November 4, 1 notice a
statement under the head lines
"Take His Medicine," in which it
is stated that report was received
from The Dalles indicating thai I
had decided to commence serving
sentence and that arrangements
with that object in view are now
under way.
I have thus far refrained from
attempting to take my Case into
the tribunal of the public press,
and I appreciate the fact that this
is neither the time nor the oc
casion for me to express my views
as to the attitude of the press and
its hearing upon the trial of my
cause. I had assumed that when
the verdict of conriction was se
cured at the end of the third trial
the prosecuting officers and the
press would be content to leave
the matters yet to be determined
by the courts to the decision of
the Appellate Courts without at
tempting further to prejudice my
rights by publication of misleading
statements. No foundation what
ever for the alleged report from
The Dalles ever existed, so far as I
know, and whatever the motive for
the publication of this alleged re
port or rumor may be I cannot
avoid the conclusion that its pub
lication is harmful to me by cre
ating an impression that I did not
expect a reversal. Will you grant
me this opportunity to say that no
thought ever entered my mind of
serving a sentence unless the A
pellate Courts shall decide that I
did have a fair and impartial trial
according to the established rules
and principles of law, and I trust,
and firmly believe that such de
cision will never be rendered.
I ask at the hands of the press
that treatment which appeals to
every man's sense of fairness and
justice; from the courts I ask only
for the fair and impartial trial to
which every American citizen is
entitled. It remains for the Ap
pellate Courts to determine
whether or not this has been ac
corded to me.
