Not Likely to Be Prejudiced Probable change of venue to either Klamuth Falls or Grants Pas» w u Ihe new development thl» week In the coming trial of L. A. Banks and hi» wife, Edith R. Bank», charg ed with the slaying of Officer George Prescott. The change was asked by Ihe de fense, after the appointment of Judge G. F. Skipworih of Lane county, to succeed Judge W . M. Duncan of Klamath county ap|>ointcd earlier to hear rases at this term of Juckson county Court. Judge Skipworih w ill hear the trial wherever il is hrtd. unless a second affidavit of prejudice is tiled. This is not thought likely. Both Mr. nnd Mrs. Banks entered (■leas of not guilty before Judge Skipworih Wednesday morning. They are charged jointly with the murder, but whether they w ill be tried jointly resls with Iheir coun- »cl to decide. Officer Prescott was killed by a Ihot from a gun in the hands of L. A. Banks, March 16. Mrs. Banks held the door open through which her husband fired Ihe shot, nnd it is ulleged that she is also guilty of Crime. Prescott had gone to the Banks home in Medford to serve a warrant for Banks’ arrest on a charge of having aided in the ballot stealing early in February. Mrs. Banks came to the door in response to his knock. 1ml refused to accept the paper or allow it read, and was about to close the door, when Banks called a warning to her to “duck", and fired, killing Prescott. It is understood that the twenty men charged with Ihe ballot theft w ill not be tried until the murder case has been tried. Hope to Locate 500 M en Scout. Complete T es t.

Mitchell of Grants Pass stated Monday *hat plans to use about 509 men ir ihe Siskiyou forest had been made in the Portland meeting held last week and which Mitchell attended. U ntil such a time as more del ¡nite ar rangements are made, Ihe forestry department has advised men look ing for work that no place has yet been provided in their office for the registry of men and those who have already signed up for jobs may not be used under the present circum stances. The forestry office has txen filled with applications, and in order to once more clear the names, many w ill have to re-reg- isler according to Mitchell. H ow ever, this does not mean that all local men may be given work, as the small number w ill have to be distributed over a w'ide area. In the near future, it is expected that plnns w ill be developed at the Washington, D. C., headquarters and sent to Portland whereby the west ern situation w ill be materially re lieved, with many of the unemploy ed given work. Plnns to dale are of such a tentative nature that forestry officials arc not particularly desir ous of expressing themselves on the matter, nlthough they do say that as soon ns the registration is again opened, notification w ill be given and conditions, time and place of registry told. The national reforestation pro gram ns possible and existing con ditions modified by the employ ment given men. W ith n total of 500 scheduled to tnke jobs in the Siski you forest, providing present ar rangements are carried out nnd no, altered, the only thing men in and around Grants Pass can do. accord ing to Mitchell, Is wait for the firs, opportunity to register, which date is as vague In the minds of officials as those desiring work.
