Officers Say Arrest Was
Joke, But Some Way It
Got on Blotter
BOND ACCOUNTED FOR
Chief Moffitt Exonerated
From Blame by Special
Council Committee
That the atmosphere surround
inf the reported traffic violation
and ub.ejient arrest of irtate j
Traffic Inspector A. E. Raffety j
hi- th Salem noiiee might he
cleared, a committee appointed, j
Ulpn motion of Alderman A. H.
Moore, by Mayor Halverson at the
meeting of the city council Mon
day night. met last niRht and
made an in vestiRation. a a re
sult of which Chief of Police Mof
fitt was exonerated from any
blame, bitt urged by the alder
man to exercise greater care in
the future.
The committee was composed
of Ralph Thompson. J. B. Giesy.
Hal Patton, A. H. Moore and A.
F. Marcus. Raffety was called
to relate just what had taken
place regarding the incident. Mr.
Raffety said the whole matter
had been : started as a joke and
that he considered it as such. He
said on the night in question he,
with a friend, drove away from
the Marion hotel and that for the
spce of possibly 50 or 60 feet he
did not turn on any light save the
spotlight, which he said was his
custom when starting his car. Ho
then turned on the rest of thr
lights and drove to the Gray Belle
where he parked the car.
At this time Officer Hayden
appeared, he said, and they joked
over his alleged violation. Later,
when in Roseburg the matter was
called to his attention by friends.
and thinking that the joke was
still carried on against bim. be
did not contradict their assertions
but complimented the Salem po
lice upon their aggressiveness.
Press articles of the occurrence
did not tend to take the matter
a joke, however, and when an
nouncement was made that the
state inspector had forfeited his
bond by not appearing to answer
to the charge, he thought the
joke had gone far enough.
In his remarks Mr. Raffety com
plimsnted the Salem police for
their active co-operation in the
work of curtailing traffic viola
tions and reiterated the statement
that the whole incident was sim
ply meant as a joke.
When called upon to state his
position in the matter and to ac
count for the $5 bond having been
paid in. Chief Moffitt said he was
repeatedly asked if he was going
to make an exceotion of Mr
Raffety. and not deal with him as
an ordinary violator, and that in
order to quash the whole matter
and as it had been given consider
able press notoriety, he swore out
a complaint and out of his own
pocket placed the $5 bail. This.
Raffety apparently did not know,
and did not appear.
The caue of so much publicity
being given the incident was due
to the fact that notation of the
affair was made upon the police
blotter, from which information
of police activity is obtained by
the newspapers.

SUFFERER
FROM
T-B IDS LIFE
Hunting implores Coroner to
Save Body From Medifcal
Students
Just released from the state
tuberculosis hospital, John Hunt
ing, aged 41. Wednesday night
ended his life by shooting himself
in a room on the top floor of the
Cherry City hotel. A chamber
maid, upon entering the room on
Thursday morning to re-arrange
it for the day, was the first to
discover the tragedy.
The bullet, which was; dls-
charged from a 25-50 rifle, passed
through the man's head, enter-
ing above the right ear and leav-
ing it on the left side near the top
of the skull. The gun was found
, .
in bed with the dead man. The
shot was not heard by anyone in
the hotel, so it Is not known at
what time the deed was comprft
ted. "iPi :
Two letters left by the mis.
each of them showing full knowl
edge of the act which he ' was
about to perform, were addressed
to the ProiH-l.to, -of the hotel and
y
former he left all of . he money
he had to the proprietor of the
hotel to replace the damage he
might caue to the room, anjd in
the latter he implored the fcoro-
ner to Bave his body from medical
. , . , . . .
tu4ents and the press to give him
Conflicting statements concern
ing relatives were made by Hunt
ing in his letters, and in infor
mation which he offered when be
came to the hotel about 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. To the
hotel man he said that he waa
going to Grants Pass to visit a
sister, but in the letter to the
coroner he denies having any rel
atives living. Dr. G. C. Bellinger,
superintendent of the hospital
from which the man bad just been
dismissed, states that the man is
survived by a mother, two broth
ers and sc sister, Jiowever. j
Hunting dealt at length on so
cial, political and economic prob
lems in his letter to the coroner,
and professed his alliance with
the radicals. He declared tuber
culosis, from which he had been
suffering, to be "an economic
problem, because it is mostly an
unTn u bb.
one of culture and refinement.
He often wrote poetry .according
to the official. . i
