A first and most Important
step In solving the murder ot
James Iverson, 70, night patrol
man at Silverton early on the
morning of May 2, 1931, has been
made with the confession of one
participant, Joseph Robert Rip
ley, 23, now confined in the Wash
ington state reformatory at Mon
roe, where he is serving a term
of from one to 10 years for the
theft of chickens at Everett,
Wash. The confession was made,
public Tuesday.
Four different men are named
as accomplices in three separate
tatements made to state and
county officers who visited him.
Two of the quartet are held in
Jails in this city. Paul Krier, 24,
Is incarcerated In the county Jail,
and Dick Hyland, 22, in the city
jail. Both deny any part in the
crime after hours of grilling by
officers and members of the dis
trict attorney's staff. Krier has
been held in the county jail for
several weeks, arrested In Silver
ton on a charge ot switching auto
licenses. During his stay in Jail in
formation was received In regard
to the Iverson murder and theft
of goods from the cabin of Ro
bert Downs on Silver Creek.
Talr Are Facing
Bnrglary Charge
Hyland was arrested Saturday
at Lake Labish by Sheriff Bower.
Both now face a charge of burg
lary not in a dwelling, tiled late
Saturday by District Attorney
John H. Carson, after officers Sat
urday .morning had found goods
in Krier's home in Silverton,
which he admitted he and Hyland
stole last July.
The two other accomplices nam
ed by Ripley in one of his confes
sions were .a Frank Manning and
a man named "Myron." For sev
eral weeks officers have searched
for such a pair Sheriff Bower
said Tuesday he believed that the
two names were Just picked at
random by Ripley, for the want
of something to say. The sheriff
declared that Ripley's father has
two brothers in business in north
ern Washington whose first names
are Frank and Myron. Thus the
choice of those two names.
The writter confession .was
made to Sam Burkhart, deputy
sheriff ot Marlon county, and F.
E. Dodele, sergeant of the state
police department.
Three tSatementa
Credited to Ripley
Ripley made three separate
statements to the officers since
he arrived at the Monroe reforma
tory. In one of these statements he
gave a detailed description ot at
tempting to blow the safe and rob
the Club pool hall, in front ot
wbfeb Iverson'a body was found.
Iuanother statement Ripley
nemed Krier and Hyland as his
accomplices in the murder of Iver
son, and alleged that one of these
two men fired the shot that kinea
the police officer. A few days la
ter RtDlev repudiated the state
ment that Krier and Hyland had
anything to do with the robbery
and murder, and named "Frank
Manning" and another man by
the name of Myron or Buck as his
accomplices. Officers expressed
the oninion that the last two
names are ficticious.
Ripley signed his first confes
sion November 25. In this state
ment Ripley declared that' on the
dav before Iverson's murder he
and Manning and Myron left Port
(Torn to page 10, col. )
C1ILVERTON, Dec. 15 "I fully believe that Joseph Robert
Ripley shot Iverson," is the statement that Mayor East
man made at Silverton Tuesday night.
That, Mayor Eastman explained, had been his belief
since he first saw the signed confession of Ripley on No
vember 25. Ripley's statements have been too contradic-
Otory and indications are that he
himself did the shooting, said
Mayor Eastman. The shot was
tired from the back seat ot the
car, accordllng to Information
given by Eastman.
