CLOUGH RECALLS
M.
County Judge Starts Investigation
Into Present Removal of
Gravel
Wisps of history concerning the
deserted and decayed cemetery on
the west bank of the 'gravel pit,
north of the state mute Bchool,
trickled into the Statesman office
yesterday by telephone and per
sonal calls.
While dates were much at vari
ance and definite details lacking,
the general opinion expressed was
that the spot was used as a burial
ground for the county poor house
inmates about 40 years ago.
A. M. Clough, Salem mortician,
and county coroner in 1885, gave
what appeared to be the most au
thentic explanation. He said that
early in the eighties, O. P. Terrill,
newly elected county Judge, came
to his office and said:
"Clough. I've found a grave
yard where we can bury the
county poor."
Mr. Clough was loathe to dis
continue interring the remains in
the plats set aside for unfortu
nates in the Odd Fellows' ceme
tery, and so expressed himself.
but Judge Terrill insisted. i
The result was that during a
period of three years, the victims
of poverty were buried there,
about fifteen in number. The
graves were unmarked. Simply
constructed, wooden caskets were
used.
When Judge Terrill retired
from office, the graveyard was
abandoned, and as years rolled
by, forgotten.
Martin Starr telephoned that he(
hauled gravel from the pit twenty
years ago and remembered that
the old pest houso was standing
there at that time. He said an
old soldier, named Ryan, told him
at the time that several victims of
smallpox had been buried near the
gravel pit about ten years pre
viously.
Lloyd Weeks declared that he
played in the gravel pit near the
cemetery as a boy and said that
it had been used as a burial
eround for noor house inmates
over a period of 15 to 20 years.
One man who called in, said
that his grandfather had been
burled there in 1858.
County Judge Siegmund stated
yesterday that an investigation
would be made to see if the grave
yard might be preserved from
further despoliation by gravel
haulers. While the pit belongs to
the county, it has not taken gravel
from it for some time. He said
those hauling gravel from the pit
now, probably were unauthorized.
Six graves have recently Deen
exposed by the gravel haulers, and
bones and parts of the caskets are
strewn along in the pit.
MRS: M. H. DAVIS DIES
Shock After Accident Thought
Partly Cause of Death
Mrs. M. H. Davis, 60, passed
away at her home, 621 North (16th

An order to create a Marlon
county law library was handed
down by the county court here
yesterday afternoon.
The order, which goes Into ef

petition of the Marlon county Bar
association, and provided for a 10

port the law library.
Fund Will Be Large
The petition as presented to the
court some time ago asked that
the room on the third floor of the
county court house formerly used
by the late Judge George Bingham
for his private library, be used
for the new county library. It also
asked that the key to the room be
entrusted to the county clerk and
made available to members of the
Marion county Bar association.
County Clerk U. G. Boyer yes
terday estimated that the fund to
be set aside for the library will be

legal business in the county.
Expect Increase

amounted to a total of 7800."
said Boyer. "Ten per cent of this

Trial Some Time Before

ARGUMENTS PRESENTED
Testimony All Completed In Case
of Notorious Los Angeles
Slayer; Walsh Calls "Fox"
Mere Madman
HALL OF JUSTICE, Los An
geles, Feb. 8. (AP) The crime
of William Edward Hickman to
day was pictured by his own chief
defender as the most dastardly
that ever human set out to do."
A few minutes before a prose
cutor, opening the argument in
the sanity trial, declared that the
confessed killer and mutilator of
Marian Parker already had a rope
about his neck.
Climaxing the most stirring
sessions of the great legal battle
of life and death, featured by thr
meeting face to face in court ot
the killer and his little victim's
father, the last act of the trial
went on this afternoon when argu
ments were begun.
Walsh Gives Argument
It was Jerome Walsh, Hick
man's chief of counsel, who labeled
the kidnaping, killing and mutil
ating of the school girl. He sol
pmnly declared that the taking of
Marian Parker from school ani
her killing was the most dastard
!y crime in history but that It wa
the first act of Hickman's insan
ity. It was a madman for whom
he spoke, Walsh said.
It fell to the lot fo Forrest Mur
ray, chief aide to the district at
torneyfo open the arguments for
he state In an early climax Ik
houted that Hickman in a wfitter
plea for life, presented during thr
trial, had asked that 'America do
away with the rope' when the rope
is already around his neck."
The climax of testimony taking
the appearance of Marian Parker's
father in the witness box immod
lately preceded the addresses by

headed the list of the four fina'
witnesses of the trial. ,
Trial Becomes Dramatic
Like the rapid march of events-
last mid-December that began
with the kidnaping of the ltttK
school girl and was climaxed n
few days later by the delivery ot
her mutilated body to her father
o did the trial itself emerge to
day from the drab stages to a
dramatic peak.
The tenseness which gripped
the little courtroom high above
the city's streets when Judge Tra
bucco brought the session to order
at 9:30 a. rru, spelled the nature
of the stirring things to follow.
District Attorney Asa KeyeFi
beckoned to big Tom Gurdane
chief of police of Pendleton, Ore.
to take the stand and the story of
the capture of the fugitive with
more than half a hundred thous
and dollars on his head, followed
In brisque fashion and an al
most studied care, the officer told
how he and Buck Lleuallen, Ore
gon state traffic officer, had gone
down the Columbia River highway
In eastern Oregon and waited for
the coming of a big green sedan
believed to contain the fugitive
killer.
Details Given Again
The vigil was short lived for

Covered by the guns of the two

TRANSMIT VIEW
ACROSS OCEAN
MAN AND WOMAN IX LONDON
KKEX IX NEW VOKK
Images, Crude But Real, Carried
Over Atlantic by Marvelous
New Invention
BV William W. Chaplin
HARTSDALE. N. Y., Feb. 8.
(AP) A man and a woman sat
before an electric eye in a London
laboratory tonight and a group of
people in a darkened cellar in this
village outside New York watched
them turn their heads and move
from side to side.
The Images were crude, imper
fect, broken, but they were images
none the less. Man's vision had
spanned the ocean; transatlantic
television was a demonstrated
realty and one more great dream
of science was on the way to
eventual complete realization.
The demonstration was made
by the Baird Television Develop
ment company of London, using
short wave radio sets for trans
mission of the "vision sound" and
the televisor kivented by John L.
Baird who has also Invented an
Instrument for seeing in the dark
for turning the sound back into
vision after its ocean hop.
The transformed vision of the
man and woman in the London
laboratory came through the
ether in the form of a bumble
bee's hum, a musical buzz of ir
regular cadence representing in
sound the lights and shadows of
their faces all that was trans
mitted in the test.
When the televisor, a black box
compact enoiigh to be carried
around in a taxi, had done its
work with this rhythmic rumble
from across the sea, the visions
gradually built themselves up of
tiny oblongs of light suspended in
a whirling rectangle of brilliance
in the machine's gaping mouth.
These oblongs shifted and swirled,
;oarcely for a moment holding
their places.
The first figure to be put be
fore the electric eye was a ven
triloquist's dummy. Because
there was no motion to transmit
in this instance the vision of the
dummy appearing in the mouth
of the televisor was much clearer
than those of the living persons
vho followed it.
As a newspaper man went be
fnrn th electric eye his vision
was built up In the televisor in a
form suggestive of a lighted Jack
o' lantern but a jack o' lantern
which would turn Its head from
Mde to side and open its mouth.
After this a woman took her
nlace before the transmitter in
London and her vision, broKen
md scattered, was seen in New
York. It was not so clear as mat
if the man, but it still was plain
that she was a woman and there
was no question but that she war
moving her head so that first the
