NOOSE TO END LIVES OF RATHIE AND KIRBY By Denying Habeas Corpus Writ Judge Wolverton " Destroys Last Hope of Doomed Men TO HANGATPBISON TODJIY Duo Convicted of Complicity in Slaying of Til Taylor ; INJUNCTION ALSO DENIED Attorney Garland in Urging Stay ot Execution Alleges Force Was Used to Cause Prisoners to Con fess Detail or Crime . PORTLAND, Ore., July 6. (Spe cial to the Register) Rfcr denying thelr'appllcatlon for a writ of habeas corpus and an injunction against their execution Judge Chaa. E. Wol verton of the United States district court here late today destroyed the last hope for life of John Rathle and Elvlo D. Kirby, who will be hanged nt the state prison at 8: SO o'clock to morrow morning for complicity In tho murder of Sheriff Til Taylor at Pendleton in July 1920. Governor Olcott, away from the' executive office on a highway Inspec tion tour, could not be reached by relatives of the doomed men. AH hope for executive clemency has been abandoned. In a final desperate attempt to snatch the two victims from the gal lows, Charles W. Garland, attorney filed the application for the Injunc tion against the execution and for a writ of habeas corpus at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon. Decides to Deny Writ The papers were Immediately de livered to Judge Wolverton who spent the entire afternoon in considering their merits. For a while Mr. Gar land entertained hopes of judicial ac tion, but these hopes were dashed when Judge Wolverton announced at 7 o'clock tonight that he had de cided to deny the writ. ( - I 1 "I can see no just grounds " for federal interference In the operation i of the state courts. I went Into the ' matter thoroughly and considered all . points of law. I have dictated an : opinion to my stenographer, which" will be ready in the morning." .the ' Jurist -said.- -r-;.-:."i T.,""w The eleventh-hour battle of thi? doomed men savored . of things theatrical today. After all other at-.J tempts to save the pair had failed. after the state supreme court had re fused to set aside the verdict of the lower court and after the United States supreme court had refused to. go into the case, Mr. Garland drew up his petition for the injunction against the hanging. He based his contention on the fact that force had been used to cause-ohe prisoners to confess, that they had been doped with ammonia and subjected to threats of lynching In order to cause them to tell details of the killing of Mr. Taylor. This, Mr. Garland con tended was In violation of certain fundamental provisions and safe guards of the constitution. The paper was a lengthy document, covering 17 typewritten pages and containing a mass of testimony given at the trial " of the two condemned men. Mr. Garland remained in confer ence with Judge Wolverton for sev eral hours, procured numerous de cisions of other courts touching on the points in question, and remained in attendance about the judicial chamber until a late hour. Every Legal Resource Exhausted ' In order to spare the lawyer the sting of defeat. Judge Wolverton dis missed him at about 6:30 o clock and told him he would call him by tele phone whenever he was ready to sign the Injunction. When Mr. Garland was apprised of the fate of his 'clients, he said: That ends it, we have exhausted evory possible legal resource. Only an act of God can save the boys from death. I have made several vain at tempts to get in touch with. Governor Olcott throughout the day, but have been unable to reach him. Kirby 's father and mother passed through Salem in the morning and I advised them to go direct to the governor and plead for their boys life. I head from them a short time ago and they were unable to see Mr. Olcott. Garland In anticipation of eleventh-hour action by Judge Wol verton, had completed plans for rush ing the injunction, if granted, to Salem. With this in view he char tered an airplane this afternoon, ob tained a pilot and was prepared to dash to the prison to save the doomed men.
