Maddox Named Again.
Rome, Ga., July 17. The democrat
ic congressional convention of the
sevonth district horo today resulted
in tho unanimous renomlnation of
Congressman J. W. Maddox for an.
other term.
Will the woman and her son who
found Merrill's body, get tho reward?
is the general inquiry.
It is purely a question of law
There has been a great deal of liti
gation on the subject of recovering
rewards, and the decisions all point
to one conclusion; that it is simply a
contract, and the conditions of the
contract must bo compiled with the
same as other contracts. It appears
that there have been few rewards
earned that have been obtained short
of litigation, and especially where
the reward has been offered to the
general public.
Question Looked Into.
A "legal" gentleman investigated
the books on the subject for the East
Oregonian, and while ho thinks that
is is a "close case," he thinks that
tho woman and her sono will recov
er the reward offered by the superin
tendent of the Oregon penitentiary.
The clause upon which tho contract
Is founded reads as follows: "$3001
reward for the capture and return,
dead or alive, of Harry Tracy and
nnvld Merrill or J1500 for ach one
who escaned from the Oregon Btatelthe primary purpose was to appro
penitentiary on tho morning of June hend or kill tho criminals so as to rid
9, 1902." After giving a description society of their depredations; that
of tho convicts the circular con- It was not necessary for tho woman
"nnnni n t t t .op miner-1 or lier Bon to run him down and com-
intendeni Oregon state penitentiary." ! mit murder In order to got tho re-
claim tho reward, not having madt
tho capture under tho terms of the
offer. So it all narrows itself down
to tho term "capturo" again.
"Capture" is not a good word In
the senso used by tho superinten
dent. In law it does not apply to the
arrest of criminals. It refers entire
ly to tho capture of vessels and other
captures made in war times and is
never referred to In criminal pro
ceedincs. "Arrest" or "apprehend"
should havo been used.
Opinions of Lawyers.
The lawyers havo various opinions
on tho present case and are ablo to
draw many illustrations, and many
claim that tho offer contemplated the
arrest or apprehension of tho crimi
nals as well as their return, and that
tho mere finding of tho dead body
docs not entitle the finders to tho ro
ward.
Are Enltled to Reward.
The gentleman who looked tho mat
ter up for this paper, however, standi'
on the opinion that thoy are ontitled
to recover tho reward. Ho says that

Offer is Binding.
The offer Is a legitimate one and is
binding and the person who complies
with Its requirements Is entitled to
the reward. All that is necessary is
to "capture and return" the body to
the superintendent of the peniten
tiary. While "capture" 1b one of the
requirements, and it would be diffi
cult, to "return" the body without
'"capturing" it, the question is raised
as to what is tho meaning of tne
word "capture." The return of the
body to tho penitentiary would make
out a prima facie case, and unjess
some other person should contest the
claim the superintendent would bo re
quired to pay tho reward unless ho
had knowledge of tho fact that the
claimant had only found the body
and this would not entitle him to
ward; that if through them tho body
of Merrill 1b produced and on no other
person makes any claim, they are en
titled to the reward, Tho communi
ty Is relieved of all doubt on the sub
ject and this la tho end desired. They
found the body, "seized" it, as the
word capturo means, and to thorn the
country looks as the persons who
brought about tho , osltlve news thai
Merrill was no more and produced
his body to show it.
Thousands of Dollars Saved. f
If they had not found the body
thousands of dollars might have been
spent In tho future on wild goose
chases in search of Merrill, but it if
now all put to rest. Thero should
be no hesitation in paying this re
ward to the woman and her son, says
the Bast Oregonlan's "legal" man.
