Warden Murphy Reports That
He May be Slayer
LOOKS LIKE TWO MAY GO FREE
Young Man Make no Dincrtpinclei in
Going Over Ground of Killing '
Warden Chas. A. Murphy, of the
state penitentiary, ha3 reported
to Gov. Withycombe in his find
ings anent the Wm. B. Riggin
confession of slaying Wm. Booth,
and it begins to look as though
Riggin was the man. At least
it appears that Murphy places
much credence in the confession
He took Riggin to the scene of
the crime the other day, end ac
companying him was District
Attorney Connors, of McMinn
ville, and the attorneys for Wm.
Branson and Mrs. Anna Booth,
wife of the murdered man, who
was killed near Willamina.
Branson and Mrs. Booth are
serving time for the crime that
Riggin claim3 he perpetrated.
While Murphy does not say
that Riggin is guilty it appears
that Riggin has told so straight
a story, and adhered so closely
to his original confession, that
there will Elways be an element
of doubt that Branson and Mrs.
Booth were guilty.
It will be remembered that
Sheriff Applegate had Riggin
brought here for a quiz on some
Washington County robberies of
the past. No one connected
Riggin with the Yamhill murder,
but as soon as he was with Ap
plegate, Riggin said "I know
what you want me here for. It
is for killing- Wm. Booth, and I
am the man." He then made a
confession. Yamhill authorities
at first laughed at Riggin s
story. Sheriff Applegate notified
the warden and he commenced
an investigation. Riggin is a son
of Geo. Riggin, who is well
known in Ilillsboro. He says
that he is the guilty man, and he
accurately described how Booth
lay after he shot him. So many
details were corroborated that it
now looks like he is telling the
truth. If the state officials be
lieve his confession over the
fifty-fifty mark, Branson and
Mrs. Booth will go free.
