Layman, attorney for C. C. Fergu son, requesting that the city make good the money it owes to Fergu son for information that led to the arrest and conviction of Cloy A. S'.oat. moral pervert, some three years ago. ' The city offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of Sloat, a school teacher of Linn county who bad assaulted two young girls in Salem March 5, 1922. The city attorney gave the opinion that as a state law gov erned the. crime, the city had no authority to post the reward. As a result, the amount has not been paid. Layman holds that there is an ordinance of the city of Salem concerning the crime, and it is upon the existence of this that he bases his claim for collection of the reward. He asks that the matter be brought up at the nex.t meeting of the city council.
