OFFENSE OUTLAWED)-
Oregon Cannot Punish School Clerk
Davis Opinion of Judge Hamilton
Statute of Limitations Has Run
Against the Embezzlement by Davis
of About 31,000 of the State's
Funds.
Sai.em, Jnne 13. Circuit Judge .7. W.
Hamilton, of the seco rd district, who
is holding court here in the place of
Judge Burnett, today advised the grand
jury that the statute of limitations has
run against tho crime of embezzlement
committed by George W. Davis in failing
to turn over .$31,000 of school funds,
received by him as clerk of the etate
land board. The grand jury presented
the facts to Judge Hamilton yesterday
and asked for his opinion. This proceed
ing was taken under a etatute which
authorizes the grand jury to state the
facts of a case, using fictitious names,
so that the judge may advise them as to
the law, The statement of facts was as
follows:
"The grand jury of Marion county, Or.,
duly and regularly empaneled by said
court for its June term, 1901, hereby
present to the above entitled court and
to your honor the following statement
of fastB which we have under considera
tion, and request your honor to advise
us aB to whether or not the person here
inafter named'has violated the criminal
Btatutes of the state of Oregon, and, if so,
whether or not Baid crime is barred by
the statute of limitations.
"We fiud that 'John Doe' was the duly
appointed, qualified aud acting clerk of
the board of commissioners for the sale
of school aud university lands and for
the investment of the funds arising there
from of the state of Uiegon, from August
1, 1891, to July 31.1895.
"That during said time the said 'John
Doe' embezzled aud converted to his own
use moneys belonging to the Bchool fund
of the state of Oregon, amounting iu the
aggregate to the sum of $30,952.00.
"That the said embezzlement and con
version to his own use occurred at differ
ent times during the terui of ollice of
said 'John Doe.' That the date of the
Orat embezzlement, as appears from the
records of paid oflice, was on January 1,
1892, and the date of the last embezzle
ment, as appears trom the records of
said oflice, was on July 1,1894.
"That on July 31, 1895, 'Kicbard Doe'
was duly appointed and qualified as the
successor in oflice to the said 'John Doe,'
and on said date the said 'John Doe'
turned the books and papers of said
oflice and money belonging to the above
named funds over to his successor iu
ollice, except the aforesaid Bum of $30,
952.00, which said sum said 'John Doe'
failed, neglected and refused to turn
over to hip said successor, and still has
the same in his possession.
"That said conversion was not dis
covered until about February 15, 1901,
on account of the false and fiaudulent
entries made iu the books kept by said
John Doe.'
"That the said 'John Doe has been a
resident of Marion couuty continuously
since the date of said embezzlement
until about the month of February,
1901."
In passing upon the question, Judge
Hamilton did not state whether the
statute beganv,to run from the time of
the taking of the money or from the
time the clerk went out of oflice, for in
either event the crime would be out
lawed. It is nearly six years since
Davis went out of oflice, and the crime
outlawed in three years. There will he
uo further proceedings of a criminal
nature against Davis, for nothing would
be accomplished thereby.
