Last Friday Otto Shelly, Clarence Williams and Milo E ray ton, three youths about 18 years of age, residing at Maple Lane, bad a preliminary hearing HttfiVati Jmf!iA (li-Knal-aal sn at flViait -f wijiuiv uoiiivv uvhuvuoi vaa bilai gv is a, indecent exposure, preferred against them by R. B. Franklin, in whose orchard the offence was said to have been committed. Deputy District At torney Dimick appeared for the state and George C. Brownell was counsel for the defendants. Chas. Gordon, Wm. Whiteman, Joe Wilson, II. Hemelson, Mrs. Gordon and the Misses Franklin appeared as witnesses for the state, while Thomas Davis, George Mauts, Lewis Davis, Isaac Shortledge and a number of others, including the boys themselves, testified on behalf of the defense. Near where the offense was alleged to have been committed is a swimming place in the Abernethy, where the boys of the entire neighborhood congregate and on this particular Sunday more than score were said to have been in swim ming. The prosecution swore that Shelly, Williams and Brayton, after walking in the public road stark- naked, and telling several persons that they were laying for some girls, got over the fence into the orchard and crawled up through the weeds until they were within two or three rods of Gordon and bis wife and the two Franklin girls, who had been gathering fruit, but at that time were sitting in a circle on the ground nnder a tree resting, when the boys stood up and commenced to throw apples at the party under the tree until they were driven off by Gordon. The defense admitted to going into the orchard in a nude condition bnt said they walked upright and denied all knowledge of there being anyone in the orchard at the time and said they were warned by Gordon of the presence of the ladies before they could be seen by them and that they immediately left the premises; also that they were in the habit of going into the orchard after apples when they came to swim but this was the first time they had not worn their clothes when getting the fruit. It came out in the testimony, however. that these lads were in the habit of lying around in the public road in a nude con dition, where men and women were pass at any time and that Books Cheap. Everything required in the Bchool room, books, slates, tablets, sponges, ink, pens, pencils, etc. at Daniel Wil liams, cornei Seventh and Center streets. Full stock of nuts, candies, notions etc., fresh and of good quality. Sold at reas onable prices. several men did pass on this particular day while they were lying there like so many wild animals and exhibiting if possible less decency ; also that in order to get into the orchard from the swim ming hole the boys traversed a distance fully a quarter of a mile in full view of the public highway. After listening to the testimony of a number of witnesses as to the previous good character of the youths, Justice Schnebel bound them over in the sum of $50 each to appear before the next grand jury. They immediately gave bail for their appearance and were released. The parents of these wayward boys were greatly exercised over the fact that they were held to answer before the grand jury, alleging that they should have been discharged, etc. If these patents had exercised a tithe of the care, in looking after their boys and knowing something of their actions when out of their sight, tbey have shown in the attempt to shield them from the consequences of their thoughtless and foolhardy actions they would have striven to some purpose and rendered their present effort unnecessary. To avoid the consequences of their rasn act, said to De tne result ol a dare on the part of one of the boys the boys and their parents were upheld in their efforts to thwart the ends of justice by certain parties here in Oregon City whose pernicious advice probably pre vented the boys from acknowledging their misdeed and making a confessioa which would have gone a long way to ward giving the lenency that they could have had at the hands of the court bad they been less obstinate . There have been complaints from other parts of the county of boys over stepping the bounds of decency and man hood and the unpleasant notoriety and serious charges under which these boys are held should be a warning to all boys to conduct themselves as self-respectingk manly boys should.
