'MERRILL AND "JOY
RIDERS"
Holland and Robertson Face
Grand Larceny Charge,
but Not Manslaughter.
I THEIR PAROLE SUGGESTED
1 Keeper of Twelve-Mile House Is Ac
cused of Selling Liquor to Minor
and Allowing Girl Under Age
to Visit His Resort.
After a full lnvestlsratlon Into all of
the circumstances surrounding the tragic
Sunday morning "Joy ride." which found
lt sensational ending In the death of
Mrs. Dolly Ferrara. the grand jury yes
terday afternoon returned Indictments
gainst the chauffeur. Harry H. Holland,
and his companion, John Robertson, and
against Frfd T. Merrill, proprietor of the
Twelve-Mile House, at whose resort the
party of young people had drinks before
leaving on the fatal trip over the
"death", loop on the Gresham road.
Holland and Robertson were Jointly In
dicted for grand larceny, while Merrill Is
Indicted on two counts, one of which
charges selling liquor to a minor and the
Other permitting a female under the ags
of II years to visit his resort. The in
dictment against Holland and ' Robertson
which was drawn up by Deputy District
Attorney Vreeland. accuses them of the
theft of TV. M. Ladd's automobile, of
the value of J1S50. and of 14 gallons of
gasoline, worth JI.SO. Conviction under
this charge carries with It a pen"cntlary
penalty.
Merrill's offences If proven In court are
punishable by both fine and Imprison
ment. For selling liquor to a minor the
law provides a fine of not lcs than $50
nd not more than $300 or Imprisonment
In the County Jnil not exceeding one
year, and the forfeiture of his license.
For permitting the young Meyer girls
In his roadhouse and serving one of them
with liquor, he is subject to n fine of
ot less than J100 nor more than 11000,
and Imprisonment In the County Jail for
not less than three months nor more than
one year. The law provides that both
fine and Imprisonment may be the penal
ty. Merrill deposited two bonds of $500
each which were accepted by Judge Ga
tens. Grand Jury nears letalrs.
The Indictments were handed to" Judge
Gatens of the Circuit Court at S:30
o'clock after the grand Jury had spent
the greater part of the day listening to
he details of the midnight "Joy ride" as
they fell from the lips of the penitent
Jlever aisters. Anna, Rosa and Eva, who,
with Deputy Sheriff Bulger, were the
witnesses on whose testimony the Indict
ments were based. These young women
were brought down from the County Jail.
rhere they had been held as witnesses
in default of $1000 ball, each in the cus
tody of a deputy.
Eva was first examined and then Anna
fend Rose followed, after which Deputy
Bulger was heard. The examination of
the witnesses and the Aiacusston of the
revelations made by them to the Jury oc
cupied all of the forenoon and part of the
afternoon. After the noon hour, Eva was
called Into the . Jury room again and
came out with the teara trickling down
her cheeks. After giving their testimony
all three of the Meyer girls were re
leased. The finding of the Indictment against
Merrill Is in line with the public senti
ment which has been aroused against
roadhouses because of the deaths of Mrs.
May Real and Mrs. Ferrara, both of
whom were killed on midnight adventures
after visits to road resorts where liquor
was obtained.
The grand Jury failed to Indict Merrill
On a third count, which might have been
done had the Inquisitorial body been so
Inclined. This count is t-at liquor was
eold to the Ferrara party on Sunday
morning, a charge made but denied by
Merrill. This offense is punishable only
by a fine of not less than $10 nor more
than &.
Charge Will Be Dropped.
Just before the Jury returned the Indict
ments against the participants in the sec
ond automobile tragedy of a month. Hol
land and Robertson were arraigned be
fore Justice Olson on the charge of man
slaughter, on which they had been orig
inally arrested by officers from Sheriff
Stevens' office. Holland was represented
by Attorney Brice and Robertson was
represented by Attorney Perkins. The
prisoners waived examination and were
held to await the action of the grand
Jury. The grand Jury failing to find an
Indictment against them on this count, it
Is believed that the manslaughter charge
will be dropped.
The ultimate outcome of the case with
reference to Holland and Robertson will
c;pend on whether they Intend to fight
the charge of grand larceny. It is said at
the District Attorney's office that if the
prisoners will consent to plead guilty to
the larceny charge it will be recommend
ed to the court that they be paroled on
pood behavior. With Merrill, however, ac
tive prosecution will be Instituted. In
case Holland and Robertson want to light
their case on technical grounds it may be
that the charge of manslaughter will be
brought up again and prosecuted.
Three other Indictments were also
turned In by the grand Jury. Herman
Hoefer, of 800 Washington street, is the
object of a true bill accusing him of beat
ing his wife. George Carlisle and E. E.
Cbapman, night employes of the Albina
office of the O. R. & N. Railroad, were
accused of forgery and larceny. Carlisle
appeared before the grand Jury In his
own behalf and told that Chapman had
tempted him to commit the crime. They
are accused of taking two pay checks
made out by the railroad company in the
name of other employes and securing the
cash on them by forging the names of
their fellow employes.

More scandal In the divorce suit of L.
B. Merton. the traveling salesman, has
been unearthed by Charles J. Schnabel,,
his attorney. An affidavit, filed In the
Circuit Court yesterday, bearing Merton's
signature, gives copies of four letters
purporting to have been written to Mrs.
Josephine Merton by W. B. Ray, while
Mrs. Merton was In Chicago. Merton
says it was through these letters that he
learned that Ray had fallen in love with
his wife. He denies his wife's charges
in toto, explaining some of them with
the counter-charge that she had the de
lirium tremens.
Merton tells of going -to Washington,
la., to visit his uncle, and of leaving his
wife there while he- made his trip to
visit Western customers. She went to
the Majestic Hotel, Chicago, he says, and
he received a telegram that she needed
care. He wired that she be cared for at
a private sanitarium until he arrived.
Merton says he found two letters In his
wife's possession' addressed to Grace B.
Adams, and that the postal authorities at
Chicago had about 12 more which they
refused to deliver to her, questioning her
right to use a fictitious name. Parts of
the letters are unprintable. Expurgated,
they are in part as follows: ,
