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.
