Present Prosecutor Takes Issue With
Predecessor Over Clay Case
Sheriff Refuses to Turn Woman
Over to Asylum Authorities.
Appeal Taken to Higher Court by At
torneyWoman Making Life Mis
erable for Sheriff and Jail Inmates
Dcsplto tho facjthat no undertak
ing had been filed, as required by
law, and simply a notlco of appeal
from Judgo Ton Velio's findings filed
by W. J. Cnnten, attorney for Mm.
Alxlrn Cloy, which docs not act as a
stay of execution, Sheriff Slngler re
fused to turn tho lady ovor to stato
asylum authorities Tuesday, and sho
Is making life mUcrablo for tho sher
iff and tho Inmates at tho Jackson
ville Jail.
Mrs. Clay has four times previous
ly been committed to Insano asylums
and spent a considerable portion of
her time there. Sho Is suffering
from "dementia precox," which has
its latent and actlvo periods, and be
comes moro aggressive with ago.
District Attorney Kelly has writ
ten as follows concerning the case:
To The Kdlter:
Kelly vs. Mulkcy.
Tho Sun this morning printed tho
following lotter from B..F. Mulkey;
"To tho Editer: I noticed In Mon
day's Sun that I had been threatened
by Mrs. Clay and I would llko to
dony this chnrgo. I have never to
my knowledge beea .threatened eith
er to dlo or suffer at the lady's
hands and whoever gave this Infor
mation was misinformed. Will you
kindly print this denial and oblige.
B. F. MULKEY."
Just why Mr. Mulkoy should have
published tho foregoing letter I am
at a loss to understand, unless It is
an attempt to discredit tho action
of the county Judgo and the physfT
clans who recommended tho com
mitment of Mrs. Clay to the Oregon
Insano asylum.
Mr. Mulkcy was In part responsi
ble for tho filing of n complaint
against Mrs. Clay by tho offlco of
tho district attorney.
Mulkey Was Seared.
Soveral weeks ago I met Mr. Mul--key
In tho Quit cigar store and thorn
In tho presence of a number of peo
plo ho stated to mo that ho had Just
met Mrs. Clay In tho Manhattan Cato
and that sho was again on tho ram
page and was threatening to got her
revolver Into action against cettaln
citizens of Jackson county. I do
not recal the Individuals who vteto
montloned as coming directly under
this threat, but my recolloctlon is
that the circuit Judge and hor lato
husband woro included In tho list;
and I havo a distinct recollection
that Mr. Mulkoy was somewhat
alarmed lest ho might bo ono of
tho "shootees," as ho oxpressod It.
For a period of several wooks pri
or to this Mrs. Clay's aggressions
bad been accentuating. Some years
bo f oro sho had taken up a home
stead entry In an Isolated section of
tho Dead Indian country, which tho
government lator canceled, taking
tho land Into tho forest resorvo. Last
spring Mrs. Clay doclared to me that
