Last Germans Squeezed Out of Hard-Won Bulge
Fairmont, W. Va., Feb. 7 IP
An all-male jury was expected to
day to get the case of Benjamin
Franklin Male, 74, who returned
voluntarily from Oregon to face
a 40-year-old murder charge.
Judge Charles E. Miller was ex
pected to hear final arguments,
deliver his charge and send the
case to the jury this afternoon.
The defense rested yesterday af
ter Male pleaded self defense and
reconstructed the slaying of W. O.
Smith, a crippled school teacher,
on the afternoon of Nov. -16, 1905.
Smith taught in a one-room
schoolhouse where Cecit Male,
then nine, was a pupil. Cecil is the
defendant's son.
Boy Complains
Male said his boy came home
complaining that Smith had "al
' most beat me to death." The
father, a husky construction
worker in those, days, went to
Smith's boarding house In Hoult,
W. Va., and asked for an expla
nation. Male testified that Smith said
he had punished Cecil because the
boy was "telling that I was hug
ging and kissing little girls."
"We had a nice little fight down
there," Male testified. "The rea
son I hit him with a mattock was
because I beat him to it. I saw
him looking around in back of me
and when I turned and saw the
mattock I saw he was reaching
for it, so I grabbed it.
"I grabbed it and hit him over
the left ear. I didn't mean it to be
fatal," Male testified.
Heads West
The white-haired, bent defend
ant said he changed clothes after
the battle and fled across the!
country to St. Helens. Ore., where j
he was a lumber worker until his
ailing wife told authorities there
he was wanted for murder.
Male told the court he had never
forgot a single detail of the fight
with the crippled Smith. He seem
ed eager to tell his story.
The prosecution asked a verdict
of first degree murder and the
gallows for Male, although Mar
ion county never has hanged a
man.

Veterans Oppose
Governors Bill
By an over whelming majority
members of the Deschutes county
veterans council voted last night I
to reject house bill No. 271, the
so-called "governor's bill." Main
objection was that it would cre
ate a virtual dictatorship in vet-'
erans affairs. Action of the coun
cil followed an hour-long debate
following reading of the bill by
M. Ray Cooper, secretary-treasurer.
Following the decision to reject
the bill it was agreed that D. Ray
Miller, council commander, and
M. Ray Cooper should go to Salem
on Friday to meet with represen
tatives from Central Oregon.
Veterans' service officers, such
as now employed by Deschutes
and several other Oregon coun
ties, are preferable to a central
ized officer as veterans will not
go to Portland or Salem to dis
cuss their problems, it was
agreed. It was also suggested that
such officers might be appointed
for a district rather than a single
county. L. H. Helphrey, Deschutes
county veterans service officer
stated that, in his. opinion, such
an officer could care for a terri
tory embracing adjoining coun
ties in sparsely populated areas.
Buildings Not Suitable
Following rejection of the bill,
Wayne Entrikin, chairman of the
building committee, reported that
he had Inspected Camp Abbot
buildings, which will, shortly be
put on sale, yesterday afternoon
with a committee composed of
Henry Nelson, M. Ray Cooper, D.
Ray Miller and C. G. Roller. The
committee agreed, Entrikin said,
that the buildings were unsuitable
for use as a veterans' center.
Louis H. Helphrey, service of
ficer, reported that 170 veterans
or their dependants had called at
his office during January. A great
deal of interest was manifested
in government loans to veterans,
he said, pointing out that these
loans are handled exclusively by
banks or other private lending
agencies. Of those who called dur
ing the month 37 were World War
I veterans, five were widows,
three were sent to the veterans'
hospitals, two were assisted in se
curing further education, three
needing specialized Jobs were
placed and one handicapped vet
eran received on-the-job training
placement.
