Witness to Murder
Claims Scott Could
Not Have Shot Clerk
ChlcaKo, July 18 (AP) Rus
sell ScotC erHtwhilo Canadian
financier, counting the hours of
tho week of life given him In the
county Jail death cell, has beon
buoyed up In his hope of ultimate
ly escaping the gallows by a de
velopment as strange as tho mes
sage which brought him a roprieve.
Thte wan tho finding of three
now purported witnesses, two here
and one In Dotrolt. declaring the
murder of Joseph Maurer, drug
clerk, fur which Scott was con
demned to die. was not In a hold
up but In a quarrel over bootleg
whiskey, nnd that Robert Scott, Ills
brother, actually fired the shot.
Tho Chicago witnesses named
were withheld by Scott's attorneys.
The Detroit er is James M. Bull, a
telegraph operator who said ho
raw I ho killing by Robert.
Ball's fltory was branded as a
"puro fake" by George B. Gor
man, assistant prosecutor, who pro
cured Scott's conviction. He also
termed a. "bit of strategy" tho tele
grarn signed Robert Scott, sent "to
Governor Lcn Small from Detroit.
In which responsibility for tho kill
lug was assumed.
Receipt of this telegram caused
Governor Smnll to grunt Scott a
reprieve of one wook, Ijc hours be
fore the time set for his hanging.
Ball told his story In the office
of the Detroit Free Press. Ho said
be was In the drug store, acrosn
building, when the Scott brothers
tho street from the Chicago city
entered. Robert spoke to Maurer
and asked him for the money the
store owed them.
Miiurer denied the debt nnd heat
ed words p;ietl. Ball's story con
tinued. Maurer ordered them
from the htni'O and raised his hand
In a striking position. I
WILL DEDICATE
Eugene, July 18 An outstand
fng feature In the educational day
program of tho 35th annual ses
sion of the Presbyterian synod of
Oregon, In meeting here, will be
the dedication services of tho new
$1,000 Westminster house adja
cent to the University of Oregon
campus this morning. The house
was built for the use of Presby
terian students of the university.
The house, which is of English
cottage type, was built on land
presented as a gift to the synod
by two donors, Dr. E. C. Brown
and his brother, Dr. S. A. Brown.
The "National Missions" board
of the Presbyterian church organ
ization, which is composed of sev
en separate missionary projects,
has completed a very successful
year, according to the report- of
the body. It will be necessary, how
ever, to raise an additional $1,
000,000 for this work next year, to
cover a deficit of $451,997 of the
past year and a similar estimated
amount for tho coming year. It
was reported.
A national missions week In No
vember has been set aside as a
period tor raising funds for the
work, and other days have also
been designated.
The synod of Oregon adopted a
recommendation that Rev. James
Aiken Smith of the Portland pres
bytery be appointed as aynodical
evangelist.
In the report on the state of
Oregon, it was shown that 87,000
new members have been added to
the presbytery In the state.
"Robert Scott bent forward,",
said Ball. "Several shots rang out.
Maurer crumbled up. Russell, the!
older brother, was standing with;
his hands to his sides and could
not have done It. Robert might
have fired from his coat pocket or
wit lithe gun In his hand." ' i
Ball did not discover the mis
take in Identities between -the
Scotta until Thursday when he baw
photographs of the condemned
man. He said his knowledge
troubled him and that after he!
learned Scott had been reprieved I
ho telegraphed him in the death
cell asking Scott to send his fath
er to Detroit.
Menmvhilo Robert Scott, wh
romised in the message to Gov
ernor Small that he would sur
render has not put in an appear-
nnce.

Hood at Front Street
a Value Like This
The Super-Six principle,
exclusive to Hudson and
Essex, is responsible for
the largest selling 6-cyl-inder
cars in the world,
because it gives results
in smooth, brilliant ac
tion, reliability and econ
omy never attained by
any other type.
This Essex, in all ways,
is the finest ever built.
Easier riding and driv
ing, more flexible in per
formance, handsomer in
line and finish, it is also
lower in price than ever
before. Its success is sim
ply the belief of buyers
that it represents the ut
most automobile value
and satisfaction with in
hundreds of dollars of
the price; and it proceeds
entirely from what
owners themselves say
of Essex.
