Council Acquits Itself as Good
Listening Body; Refuse Verdict
Or Official Record of Case.
The comic fiasco advertised (or the city hull last night was pre
sented lo a small but Interested audience of fancy chair warmers.
Tlie august budy at whose dictate the show wan held Mat crouch
Ingly before the Irate plaintiff and squally determined defendant.
The first business seemed to be to discover, If possible, whether
tlm council was sluing in an administrative, judicial or legsluttvri capac
ity. Mr. Staples, from the audience, occupying the position of a tux
payer, suggested that tlie council might (et the city Into trouble if It sat
as a Judicial body .and took testimony under oath, whereupon several
members offered remarks on the topic, finally deciding that the body wan
sitting neither iu a judicial, administrative nor legislative capacity, but
rather exercising auditory function s, having nothing else to do, tlie wa
ter bonds liuvhig been voted more than a year ago, the refunding bonds
having been voted down by the peoplo and up by the council on several
derisive and siecific occasions, an d the new proposed ono still soaking
In wail for the psychological moment to arrive, when it might go through,
there wus nothing to do, therefore the council decided to transform It
self into a simple auditory and olfactory body and look and listen and say
nothing. The actors and audience should be the only ones consciously
alive. No the. show opened.
'The time has come,' tlie Walrus
said, 'to talk of many thing of

derland. Reiterating Its twice-made decision
to take no official action of the case
of City Attorney Briggs and Jesse
Wlnhuru, who locked wits last night
in an effort to establish the lack of
veracity of each, the city council has
wiped Its hands clean of the query,
'who lied?" relegating it to the musty
files of individual memory, u mat-
ter without official recognition or
record. The decision came as the re
sult of a short "talk test" among
the city dads following a three hour
hearing of the two men, their agents
and witnesses, conducted after the
manner of a Judicial court before the
city council lust night.
Short and I'gly llii-asc I'assed ,
Jesse Wlnhurn charged that
Briggs unjustly called him a liar at
u council meeting July 12, a meet
ing, he asserts, which be attended
at the request of the city council
relevant to the Installation of sew
age facilities at Long's Cabin, or
what is now known as Sap and Salt
In the Woods. Although not making
a formal charge of malfeasance In
office against Attorney Briggs, the
case presented by Mr. Wlnhurn, who
was represented by Ous Newbeurg
and F. P. Parrel!, of Medford, was
to the effect that Briggs, as city at
torney, had used persuasion to
have the sewHge work at Long's
Cabin given to Provost Brothers
"""" ","1U
naruware siore. mioruey nriKSs
denied the charge, stating at the
council meeting of July 12, thut Mr.
Wlnhurn had lied. With the hear
ing and cross examination of wit
both of
,J
nesses yesterday evening,
the contending parties sought to
clear themselves.
.Mr. Winburn at a previous meet
lug having requested a formal apol
ogy from the council for Attorney
Briggs' statement, u request that was
denied with the assertion that the
matter was a personal one.
Council's Part Was Listening
The city dads were good listeners
last night. Listening to the two
men was the only action they had de
cided on following the Insistent de
mands of .Mr. Winburn at a council
meeting last week that he be heard.
At the end of the three hour hear
ing, nnd In which Attorney Briggs I
asked that the council udopt an oral I
resolution clearing him of any charge
of malfeasance In office. The request;
was refused on the grounds that no
such charge had been made on the
n.i r the altnrnevs for the Dlaln-
tiff. Jesse Winburn, and therefore'
nothing to absolve Mr. Briggs from.
The "triul" was conducted ln the
council chamber of the city hall,
jammed to the windows and doors
with a mixed audience, at times in a
state of curious expectancy. Fre
quently Ashland, us represented by
the audience, laughed. The "trial"
was full of good Joke " amused
chuckles meant anything. After it
was all over the city dads sobered,
sat straight In their chairs and then
unbending from a cold reserve,
glowed with smiles of friendliness
for tbe world Iu general. Ashland,
especially, decided, verbally, defin
itely, to say "nothing" and render
a decision of justice on the same
basis.
The "hands off" attitude of the
council after the "trial" was pur
suant to a decision made before the
hearing started to not render a de
cision. The city dads listened only,
listened without question or Inter
ruption. Cross examination of wit
nesses, reading of letters, rebuttal
arguments and Impassioned pleas
were the order of the evening
Sworn Testimony Not I'sesl
With the 'swearing in" of
the
plaintiff, Jesse Wlnhurn, a protest
was hoard from E. T. Staples, a iax-
puyer and Interested spectator. As a
lesull the council decided that ihBitcrlor worlt' Plumbing, wiring, etc.

Following the testimony of White-

before the council. He denied that

and the charge that ho had attempt-j
ed to obtain the sewage work for the
latter. He stated that he had gone
to Long's Cabin following the In
structions of the city council to
"talk over" the sewage problem at
that place, which was said at that
time to be the cause of water pol
lution In Ashland creek which sup
plies water to the city. Ho asserted
that Winburn refused to talk with
him. He admitted telling the plain

Simpson's hardware store, would noti
be satisfactory to tbe city. He stat
ed that Winburn wus in a "bud
mood"; made Insinuations querying i
Briggs whether or not he personally
was the "common council." and gave
curt orders to Whitehead and a boy
named Clark Dyers, now In Los An-i

IS BOUND OVER
TO GRAND JWRY
Wilbur (Wig) Jacks of Eagle
Point, was bound over to await 'the
action of the grand Jury by Justice
( the Peace Glenn O. Taylor, on a
ch rge of selling intoxicating liquor.
Bonds were left at $1000, which
were furnished by Walter Woods and
T. W. Gregory of Eagle Point.
The only witness was H. W. Kel
ley, also known as Jack Casey, and
. half a dozen other names. He testi
fied that he was referred to Jacks
: as a source of supply for whiskey
j by two men whose names he did not
know. He approached the defend
ant, he said, when lie was seated In
j his auto, and after a few remarks on
i the weather, broached the drink
question, .larks, he testified, drove
; him to a "garage two blocks south
of the Medford hotel," and produced
a soda pop bottle full of liquor, from
underneath one of the sills. He tes
tified he paid $2 for it.
After the purchase, Keller and
Jacks drove back to town. He met
his friends, and they each took two
drinks out of tbe bottle, nnd kept the
rest for evidence. The defendant
did not take tbe stand.
The squad of special sleuths and
deputies who journeyed away back
tn the hills, in search of Jacks, when
he was at the seashore, brought back
nothing of Importance, except three
bucks, which "they shot from the
trail." Quite a number gathered to
hear the trial.
