STORY FAKED
10 PREVENT
Dlroit Telegrapher Con
fesses Claim He Wit
nessed Murder Made
Up To Save Scott.
Chicago, July 20 (AP) An
other ray of hope that of the amajs
ing last hour developments that
saved him from death on the gal
lows last Friday would become
tangible enough to prove his in
nocence during a seven day re
prieve has gone out for Russell
Scott.
James M. Ball, a Detroit tele
grapher, who last Friday declared
that he witnessed the shooting of
Joseph Maurcr, Chicago drug clerk
and that Russell was Innocent of
the slaying has admitted that the
story was a romance, concocted
"for the sake of humanity."
Thinks Scott Innocent
Ball said that he "told a lie to
save one whom I beliove innocent,"
but that when he found that his
story was not Accomplishing any
thing, he decided to admit the
fake.
This was the second blow that
Scott has received since his dram
atlc reprieve six hours before he
was to hanfc-. The stay of execu
tion was ordered by Governor Len
Small when a telegram from De
troit purporting to bo from Robert
Scott, the condemned man's broth
er, confessing the murder was re
eclved. According to Russell's
story, Robert Scott, also under in
dictment did the shooting.
The sender of the telegram prom
ised to surrender the next day, but
nothing developed. Various other
communications were received
however, one a letter purporting
also to bo from Robert, mailed in
Chicago Inst Thursday night. In
this it was rtated that he was ser
iously 111, but would give himself up
as soon as he was able.
May Have Fukcd Message
Scott's attorneys still are pin
nlng hope for commutation on af
fidavits they said they had from
two unnamed women, declaring to
have been in the drugstore at the
time of the shooting. So far as
known, no officlnl action has been
taken In the case.
Ball Indicated that he may have
been the one who sent the Detroit
telegram to the governor. Declar
ing that Scott's predicament prey
ed on his mind, the operator said
he first decided to concoct a tele
gram purporting to be from Rus
sell's brother, "but I thought It
out a little further and lastly
struck the Idea of representing my
self as a witness."

On Schedule Tonight.
Enough legislative dynamite to!
reduce the city hall to a tanglo of;
ruins are stored up In the tenta
tive program upon which the coun
cil Is to be called to take action
when It meets in regular session
this evening. Holding the center of
the stage are the election of an
alderman from the sixth ward to
succeed Damon Flecner, resigned,
and acceptance of tho new traffic
ordinance carrying the head on
system for Salem.
Contest for the seat resigned by
Flecner will be between Fred
.Williams and Itay Smith, both loealj
attorneys, nnd their friends, and'
tho result was considered much in
doubt this afternoon. Petitions for
both of the candidates have been
circulated in tho ward and liberally
islgned, according to reports, but
they had not been filed with the
city recorder this afternoon.

in touch with tho situation this

Is known that every effort to do- i
feat the ordinance will be made by
the jitney nnd taxi drivers of the
City, who claim they would be com'
polled to move from their present
stands on tho downtown streets If
the ordinance carries.
t The proposal that the council
call a special election for the "pur
pose of submitting to the voters a
$30,000 bond iHsue for tho pur
chase ot two additional fire engines
will also be presented tonight, ac
cording to Alderman Uancy, who Is
sponsoring tho scheme. Opposition
to the proposal Is expected to cen
ter chiefly around the condition of
the city's finances. It la declared
that the city has not got tho $800
necessary to meet tho expenses of
ft special election at this time.
Dancy seeks to have the special
election held late In September or
early in October, so that the new
equipment might be purchased nnd
placed In service by next summer
If tho bonds are approved.
It Is further anticipated that
the question of compelling or.waiv
Ing compliance with the ordinance
calling for covering of tho north
mill race, upon which may hinge
the location of a $200,000 paper

up for discussion.
