George Parker, slayer of . Sheriff
Dunlap of Linn .county, may go
to the gallows on December 7.
Parker does not. maintain he is
innocent. . He admits' the firing ot
the bullet that ended Dunlap's
career. He does not ask the prls
on, gates to swing wide for him.
All he seeks is an opportunity
that nearly every condemned man
has that of, appealing his case.
Lesa than 12 hour before, he
was scnteuced to hang, Tarter
received a stay of execution, and
given SO days in which to file his
transcript on appeal. The time
expires . September ( 29 another
week. Filing, of the transcript
will cost 1300,. and a total ot
$1000 Is needed to carry the case
through , the higher court. Fail

get a few: more hundred but the
time is getting short. , lie is un
able to solicit aid.
"I am a pauper. - I have spent
every cent I possess in defending
myself," he told a newspaper man.
"Isn't there some provision in
the law whereby a pauper can cb
tain a tree transcript of his case?"
he appealed. ' "I know that a fre
transcript wa furnished in tho

Wash. Other state's have soma
provision whereby a man without
fands or .friends: can carry their
case to the supreme court."

has no . such provision.
