dependent last night on The

turns. Before the polls closed at 8 p.
m. scores of telephone calls were
being received at this office.

MEN STILL SOUGHT

(AP) Rescue crews will be un

earliest, mine superintendent Jo
seph Lee said today.

land on a freight train and .drop
ped off at Salem. Late that night
he said they stole an automobile
and drove to Sllverton. After
parking their car in front of the
club pool hall, Ripley said Man
ning alighted and started to walk
toward the front door. At that
time Officer. Iverton was crossing
the street, Ripley declared.
Tells Details of
Iverson Slaying
When the officer was about 10
feet or so from the car Myron or
dered him to throw his hands up,1
Ripley continued. "The officer
apparently dived into his clothing
for a gun. The pfficer then turn
ed to face Frank, who was stand
ing against the fender of the au
tomobile. Myron fired. We then
jumped into the car and started
in the direction of Salem.
Rinley said the return to Port
land was made by way of Cham
poeg, and Swans Mill bridge,
where one of the men threw nis
rifle and satchel into the lake.
Officers said they had dragged
the lake, but had failed to find
either the rifle or the satchel.
Following further investiga
tion which failed to reveal any
clue to the existence of Myron
and Manning, and after being in
formed by Ripley's father that he
believed theee names to be fic
ticious, the officers again ques
tioned Ripley in the reformatory.
upon this occasion Ripley
named Krier and Hyland as his
accomplices. In this confession he
made no reference as to who shot
and killed Iverson but detailed
to the officers the route taken by
the men after leaving Sllverton.
Ripley said they drove direct to
Salem, where Krler and Hyland
left the automobile.
Changes Back To
Original Story
Krier was already under ar
rest in Salem as a burglar sus
pect, and on the strength of Rip
ley's confession, the officers ar
rested Hyland.
Burkhart and Dodele subse
quently returned to the Monroe
reformatory, where they resumed
their Investigations. This time
RiDley again changed his story
and declared that Myron and
Manning were his accomplices.
Records in the sheriff's office
show that Ripley was arrested
along with Krier In March. 1927,
and later served a term of 60
days in the county Jail here on
larceny chances. On March 12 of
this year Ripley was sentenced
by Judge McMahan in the circuit
court here to serve one year in
the penitentiary on a charge of
burglary. He was paroled. It was
alleged that Ripley had stolen a
quantity of gasoline and oil from
a rock crusher.
Officers said that Hyland has
no previous criminal record
Krier at one time was in trouble
at Silverton for driving an auto
mobile without proper license
plates. He also was Involved in
several petty thefts, the officers
said.
Rifle Was Stolen
In Linn Comity
Sheriff Bower declared Tues
day that the rifle used in slaying
Iverson was one of four which
were stolen in Linn county. Rip
ley and Krier were suspected of
this theft.
Iverson's body was found lying
on the sidewalk, about two feet
from the front of the Club pool
hall. He had been shot in the
head. Larry Austin, a Sllverton
resident, heard the shot, and saw
the automobile drive away from
the scene. It followed the direc
tion described by Ripley in one
of his statements to the officers.
The automobile also was said to
tally with the one which Ripley
said he and his alleged accom
plices stole upon arriving in Sa
lem, The automobile was found
several days later at The Dalles.
It belonged to J. L. Sim of Salem.

Sheriff Bower declared last
night that much of Ripley's con
fession was fiction. The statement
tht Iverson put np his hands
would have been impossible, ac
cording to the position the slain
officer was found, he said; His
hands were in his pockets. Bower
said, and that-the safety on his
gun was off.
According to the sheriff, the
only charge that can be placed
against Krier and Hyland is the
burglary not in a dwelling, with
the information they hare on
hand. Thus far, nothing has been
uncovered to prove that the two
men took part in the murder.
Ripley's contradictory confes
sions, the sheriff said, came when
the Monroe inmate heard stories
to the effect that the two men in
Salem had given out information
about him.
