Sato of Railroad to Defunct Oregon
Trust Explained in Court In Suit
Brought by Devlin in Which Dr.
Reddy Is Co-Defendant.
PORTLAND, Juno 8. Iii the civil
suit brought against directors of tho
defunct Oregon Trust & Savings
bank nnd J. P. Rcddy, receiver of the
Medford & Crater Lake railroad, bc-
foro Judcc Qatcns, Dr. Rcddy ended
his testimony yostorday. Ho stated
that ho hnd never made any formal
report of his receivership, but had in
formed Judgo Hanna of all steps
taken and advised with him ou all
proposed steps.
Attorney A. E. Clark stated that
both President Walter II. Moore and
Cashier W. Cooper Morris had made
overdrafts in their personal accounts
at the timo Moore swore he had
22,500 with which to pay his share
ef the purchase price of tho Pacific
& Eastern railway.
In trying to provo Moore had the
onoy ho claimed, Senator Pulton
kad tho account of Mooro Bros, tak
en up and traced through the same
onths, only to discover that Moons
Bros, had an overdraft of $2020.33
catered in red ink against them when
tho bank closed its doors. Then he
took the account of the Mooro In
yestment company, with better suc
cess, the credit balance August 20
being $13,077.38. He also drew
forth tho information that after the
bank closed Moore made all short
ages good.
When tho amounts of overdrafts of
Mooro and Moore Bros, are deduct'
ed from tho credit balance to the
Mooro Investment company, the
amount falls far short of the money
seeded to pay Moore's share on the
purchaso of the railroad.
Tho story of the purchase of the
Medford & Crater Lake railroad wn
told during the trial by George Este.
tWalter H. Moore, president, and W.
Cooper Morris, cashier of the Ore
gon Trust & Savings bank, and Geo.
Estes, vice-president of the Estncada
State bank, according to the testi
mony, formed the quartet making the
purchase. Tho Medford & Crater
Lake road was in the hands of J. F.
Beddy as receiver, and ho sold it to
Estes. Moore, Morris and Stryker for
$82500. For the road the receiver
was handed a cashier's check for
$1000 and certificates of deposit, all
n, the Orecon Trust & Savings bank,
for $81,500.
Here was a charge against the Or
egon Trust amounting to $82,500,
for which nothing had been placed in
the bank to offset in the way of a
security except a memorandum that
when the Medford & Crater Lake
road was reorganized, renamed and
reincorporated into tho Pacific &
Eastern, bonds would be placed in
the Oregon trust, admitted Estes.
Not a dollar of cash was deposited
in the Oregon Trust when tho $82,
500 of liabilities was issued. Not
even tho bonds of the Pacific &
Eastern wero deposited and, of
eourse, theso could not be deposited
for tho very good reason that before
tho Oregon Trust issued the check
and certificates of deposit tho receiv
er would not turn over the Medford
Crater Lake, nnd until the road
eame into possession of the nunrtot
of promoters thoy could not issue
bonds to tho Oregon Trust. There
fore, the memorandum and the ab
sence of a cash deposit.
Disposition of Stock.
Estes said ho was the bond seller
of tho Oregon Trust, and was presi
dent of tho Estacada State bank
also. Tho latter bank issued certifi
cates of deposit to tho Oregon Trust
for $41,250, all as part of the threo
eornerod transaction. A memoran
dum similar to that left with tho Ore
gon Trust was put into tho Estacada
Btato bank when the certificates of
deposit were issued. There was no
monoy de)08ited or anything else of
value but tho memorandum. Later,
when, through tho certificates and
the cheek of tho Oregon Trust, the
Medford & Crntor Lake was bought
from Receiver Reddy, Morris, Moore,
Stryker nnd Estes proceeded to
square tho banks of which they wero
efficors by depositing bonds of tho
sewly formed Pacific & Eastern. To
the Oregon Trust went $100,000 und
to the Estacada State bank $50,000.

BASEBALL NOTES
That 1000 per cent is broken and
Grants Pass did tho trick.
It was a hard fought game and
took eleven Innings to do it.
Well, Ropor, you slipped one over
on us, and we take our hats oft to
you.
Pug got two nice hits. No wonder.
He met an old schoolmate.
No telling how many more Innings
the gamo would have weat If it had
not been for Miles' aeroplane throw
over first.
Miles fanned for the first time this
season. Shorty was pretty mad then,
for a hit would have won tho game.
The Grant Pass team shows much
improvement since getUng Baker for
catcher.
Williams played a nice game on
third, and If ho keeps his noodle you
will hear from this player later.
Wilkinson and Bowere got two of
the prettiest hits of the season. "Both
were line drives, and each good for
threo bags, and both men died on
third. That Is somo ball for you
tana.
Maybo you don't think tl ose Grants
Pass fans weren't tickled to win that
game. They simply went wild, and
are talking about It yet.
Medford had several chances to
win tho Eame. but could not come
through with tho necessary hit. Os
borne, tho Grants Pass pitcler, was
In fine form, and had his drop ball
working to perfection.
It Beebe had" not gotten hurt
If Blacklngton had caught that
fly
If Antle would have tried for homo
plate on Blackey's hit
If we could have bit when we need
ed hits
If Shorty had not mado that wild
throw to first
Oh, what's the uso? Ifs don't win
ball games, anyway.
My, that Jackconvllle bunch is go
ing somo. SInco Manager Ulrich has
procured two Seattlo players from
Dugdale.
Strain, who plays third base for
Jacksonville, Is a brother to second
baseman Strain of tho Medford team.
Anderson, Jacksonville's new cen
ter Holder, from Seattlo, Is said to
be ono of tho best batters of tho
league.
If Medford wins next Sunday's
gamo from Jr.cksonvlllo thoy will
havo to ho up and hustling all tho
timo, for Jacksonville has a hard hit
ting bunch.
Next Sunday tho Medford team will
play Jacksonville on the Medford
grounds. Jacksonville has a strong
team now, r.nd tho gamo will bo tho
best and hardest fought of tho season.
