t?r.r' The; writer' wait a boy ten
year old at that time. Well I do
remember the trial and execution
of these men. for the murder of
Daniel pelaney for jhU- money.
Daniel Delaney was a wealthy
stock raiser living about two miles
IBOuthwest of Turner, Ho vas a
'southerner and, brought slaves
with him. He was good citizen
and a clean man. His stock roam
ed over the hills and valleys about
Turner Station; as at the time he
settled here there were no fences
and his stock roamed oyer the
whole country,. There were no
banks in this part f of the state,
and who had money must hide It
about his premises. J Delaney was
supposed to have a lot of money.

and Beal was keeping a saloon In
Salem In a building on the cor
ner now occupied ty the .Marion
hotel. He lived across th street
in a house north of the old Hector
hotel, with his wife and: mother.
Teal had as, a, partner in crime.
George. Baker. who drofe cattle
for the early day' butcher. Baker
was a weak tnimled man. and he,
too. lived on tb same bloik where
Beals saloon was located i with his
family and some i four jj or five
children. On the night i of the
murder. Beal met Baker at a point
on ).tjll Creek, formerly agreed
npon byvthem. Heal wasj walking
and Baker riding a black mare.
They obtained Rome 'charcoal
which they used on their, faces to
disguise themselves-, as Beal was
well acquainted with Delaney and
often would stay over night with
him while out on hunting- trips
in that part of the country. De
laney, alone except for a col
ored boy, " 12 years' old, ; and his
dog. Xhey called the o:d man out
of the house and shot him and the
dog. The boy ran Into the house
and crawled under the bed..';. The
jobbers promised him if he would
keep fliiiet they would not molest
him. The boy remained. there un
til daylight ' the next morning,
then takingvhe dog in his arms,
which was badly wounded, carried
him over to one of Delaney's sons
about a mile away giving the
alarm. Beal and Baker' were soon
arrested for ' the crime " on suspi
cion. One of the suspicious cir
cumstances was this black mare
which Baker was . riding oh the
night of the murder. She had
lost one of her" shoes. Another
was the finding of a hat
band which ;. hail been lost off
Deal's hat. The trial was over
interesting, and so; many people
wanted to hear the trial that there

court house, which occupied the
same ground as the present one.
So the trUl as held In the ball In
the Uolman block, used as the
legislature, before the present
state house was built. The pris
oners were, defended by Caton and
Curl, end David Logan, prominent
attorneys at the time. Rufns
Mallory was prosecuting jrttorney.
The prisoners were found guilty
of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to be hanged on May
17, 1S65. For this purpose the
county erected a wooden scaffold
on the block east of South Church
street and South Mill street. For
that purpose the prisoners were
confined in a small brick jail then
standing : in the northwest corner
of the court house block. The day
of the execution in the afternoon
they 5 were taken from this jail
by i the sheriff, Samuel Hedrick,
in a hotel bus to the place of ex
ecution, where they paid the pen
alty for their crime.
The death march was an im
pressive 7 affair. At that time
Marion county had a militia com
pany known as "Marion Rifles."
They had gaudy uniforms and us
ed theld army caps. They form
ed around the bus with rifles and
fixed bayonets, marching east on
Court street to Church street,
thence south on Church street to
the place ,of execution, followed
by a vast crowd of people. They
then formed ' about the scaffold
until after the execution. There
was a great crowd there,, on the
high grounds by the mill race and
where the Hansen sash and door
factory now stands, which formed
a natural amphitheater . for the
occasion. Public sentiment was
against : these men, especially
Beal, "who ''was' the master mind.
That sentiment would not permit
the prisoners being buried in our
local cemetery, but It sent the
prosecuting attorney, Rufus Mal
lory,, to- the house iof representa
tives at Washington from Oregon.
