H. McMahan at 3:30 a. m. Kyle slept calmly in the coun ty jail here while the jury de liberated. Advised that a verdict had been reached. Kyle arose without comment, dressed Tiimself carefully and heard the verdict which decided bis fate with no more show of feeling ttan had marked his trial. He thanked the jury, in a quiet voice, after the verdict was announced, and ex pressed his appreciation to his at torney, Paul Burr is. He then went back, to Jail, slept the remainder of the night, and was free at 9 a. m., the first time he had been out of custody since he was arrested January 2. Kyle to Move Away From Broadacres Kyle went back to bis chicken ranch yesterday but he will not stay there. After he had killed "his best friend," Hugh Jean Sloan, he promised the deceased man's mother, who was his neigh bor, that he would remove from the neighborhood." His few acres of land will be sold, the house where Sloan was killed will pass into other hands and Kyle" will strike out anew in some other lo cation. Last night the courtroom where the sordid story of the drunken fight which resulted in Sloan's death was unfolded, was being fumigated. Drenched with the smell of dirty clothes, blood stained bed clothes and musty fur niture, the courtroom was not suitable for further court proceed ings without thorough cleaning. The Jury la the Kyle case delib erated from early evening until 3 o'clock yesterday morning. When the verdict was reached, 11 jurors .were reported to have fav ored acquittal and one conviction on a manslaughter count. Jurors had the option of rest ing through the night before re turning a verdict but declared themselves eager - to go home. They had been sitting on the Kyle case continuously since Monday, February 23. However, they will receive only 83 a day although they were not permitted to go home after the case closed each day. The county will pay for their meal9 and for hotel expens es. . Kyle thanked members of the sheriff's force for the treatment afforded him while he was a pris oner. Exoneration Pleases More Than Release A thin, meek-appearing man, he told acquaintances that the prin cipal pleasure he received from his acquittal was the fact that he had not been found guilty of mur dering his best friend. Throughout the trial, as dur ing the night of the killing, Kyle stuck with his story that Sloan had grabbed him by the throat and demanded his money. He steadfastly refused to reveal his past life and asked that no ques tions be asked him in court about his family, whom he did not wish to know about his Indictment on a murder charge. District Attorney Trindle made no comment on the outcome of the case. Burris expressed his pleas ure at the verdict. Kyle will receive in a few days the old bedstead and blankets which were set up in court as mute testimony to the facts exist ing In the room in his house where Sloan was killed. Sloan's mother asked that her son's clothing, ex hibits in the trial, be returned to her. Joe Smith, Kyle's neighbor, has looked after the better's house while Kyle was la jail here. Harley W. Libbey was foreman of the Jury. Other members were Clarence Aline, Priscilla B. Frix elle, Lucy Newcomb, John Dasch, Jacob W. Johnston. John Tweed, Leo J. Connor, Arthur Oldenberg, Marion Mulkey, Lee Sutton. Alter nates who aat throughout the trial but did not participate In the , findings were Dora B. Schellberg and Eugene C. Davidson. Superintendent 111 " r Silas Gaiser, Salem school su perintendent, was forced to drop his duties yesterday and spend the day at home, treating what was - believed to be a severe case of in fluenza. He was hot expected to be able to return to his office today.

Architect to Be Paid For Travel But Capitol Commission's Vote Is Against Raise in His Percentage PORTLAND. Ore.. March 5-(JP) i The state c a p i t o 1 commission voted to pay a maximum of 35, 000 for architects' travel expenses today but balked at a suggestion that an out-state man be given more than 4 per cent of the 6 per rent allotted the winner of the na tional competition for a design for Oregon's proposed 12,500,0 0 0 statehouse. Both suggestions were offered by Carl F. Gould of Seattle, arch itectural adviser, who read cor respondence from noted architects saying they would not compete in the Oregon contest unless travel allowance was granted the win ner. Gould proposed that the win ning architect, if he is an out-state man, be given 4 H per cent of the total architectural fees and his Oregon associate 14. The com mission held to its previous fig ures, however. Award in Contest To Be Made May 28 It was decided several weeks ago that an Oregon architect must be retained as an associate, and receive 2 per cent of the fees, if an out-state competitor won the contract. Gould denied he was attempt ing to obtain special privilege for architects and said he was merely acting as an adviser and offering the benefits of his experience. Five other prizes of $1,000 each will be pa.id the runners-up in the national competition. The award will be made May (Turn to Page 15. Col. 5) Hope For Federal Road Fuiid Higher State highway officials were hopeful yesterday that the state's construction program for 19 3 6 1937 could attain at least an out lay of $3,500,000 following word from the American Association of State Highway Commissions at Washington that congress was going to look with favor on an appropriation of $2,040,000 for Oregon's federally aided roads. With moneys the state will have to match such funds, at least S3, 500,000 will be available for work the coming year. Due to the unusual PWA program, nearly $8,000,000 in new con struction work was under way in the state in 1935-1936 but no state official expected such an outlay to continue. The objective of the commission has been to receive the so - called federal match moneys and that purpose seems likely to be fulfilled. 4 Charges Against Kuykendall Withdrawn by Chief Minto Chief of Police Frank A.

Inspector Stops Concrete Pouring Tests today of concrete used in construction of the new senior high school building here may de termine whether or not the foun dation footings for the entire north wing will be retained or re moved, E. C. Bushnell, city build ing inspector, said last night. Bushnell yesterday forbade pour ing of fresh concrete on these footings when Initial tests showed the first pourings did not come up to city building code standards. Bushnell blamed the specifica tions for the high school Job for the alleged below - par concrete while the contractors claimed the test cylinder that did not meet city standards had been damaged. The city code requires test cylin ders 28 days old to stand up un der a 1500 pound pressure per square inch. with the approval of Mayor V. E. Kuhn and of Walter Fuhrer, chairman of the council police committee, both officials said. The chief's notice bore the pen ciled "o. k." of Fuhrer. The civil service commission will consider the charges dropped, the chairman stated after confer ring with Commissioners Panl V. Johnson and A. A. Gneffroy. The next move In Kuykendall's favor will be an effort to obtain payment of his salary for the en tire month of February, since his resignation was dated as of March 1, Chief Minto indicated. The pay ment, however, probably will be referred to the council before a warrant will be issued. Recorder A. Warren Jones declared. Kuykendall is understood to be planning to return to . the state penitentiary as a guard. He was employed there before he became a city officer. J Under -civil service rules" Kuy kendall's name may now be plac ed on the police preferred 'list for the next two years.
