LAWYERS ARE LINED UP Imposing Array of Counsel for - Prosecution ' and Defense En gaged for Legal Battle. With an Imposing array of law yers lined up for the defense and prosecution, the trial of Russell Hecker, alleged murderer of Frank Bowker, which is scheduled to open Tuesdav at Oregon City, promises to be one of the most bitterly con tested legal battles in the criminal history of the state. The prosecution will be led by District Attorney Stipp of Clack amas county. Associated with him will be District Attorney Myers, Deputy District Attorneys Ham mersley and Mowry of Multnomah county and Frank Lonergan, local lawyer, who will appear as special prosecutor. Hecker will be represented by Gale S. Hill, former district attorney of Linn, county; Gilbert S. Hedges, former Clackamas county district attorney, and Thomas G. Ryan, a local attorney. Evidence la Circumstantial. The evidence against Hecker is purely circumstantial Tho actual place of killing is in doubt The ele ment of self-defense also enters the case. With these circumstances, it is expected that Hecker, through his attorneys, will put up a desperate battle for his life. Hecker and Bowker, engaged in a bootlegging deal, left Portland on the night of April 17. The following day, at noon, Hecker was surren dered to the police by his attorney, Mr. Ryan. Then followed the find ing of a blood-smeared automobile which the prisoner had used the night before. On April 19 Hecker accompanied local officials ,to a bridge over the Callanooia river, near Albany. . and pointed out the spot where, he de clared, he had thrown Bowker's- dead body into the river. Several days later the body of the dead. man. bundled into a hop sack, was found in the river. The state contends that Bowker was killed in a lonely spot near the Clackamas rifle range. Blood stains on the roadway and the testimony of residents who declare they heard the sound of a machine at the spot at the supposed time of the killing are to be used as evidence to sup port the state's contention. Case Interesting; One. The Hecker case Is interesting from the legal angle. The prisoner was given a preliminary hearing in municipal court and bound over to the Multnomah county grand jury. That body heard the evidence of some 30 witnesses, and while the jurors were still deliberating the case was transferred to Clackamas county. The witnesses were taken before the grand Jury at Oregon City and an indictment, charging first degree murder was returned against Hecker. Hecker has been held In the Mult nomah county Jail since the killing Officials plan to take him to Oregon City daily and return him to the local Jail every evening. The case will be heard by Circuit Judge Campbell. ROAD NORTHJjELD GOOD Reports of Bad Highways In Washington- Denied.
