KILLED B! FALL IN'
ELEVATOR SHAFT
Judge Lionel R. Webster, formerly
of Jacksonville, who before his re
moval to Portland was circuit Judge
of the first Judicial district, then
comprising Jackson, Josephine, Lake
'and Klamath counties, and after
wards county judge of .Multnomah,
'county and one of Portland's prom-;
iinent lawyers, was . instantly killed
Wednesday afternoon at G:3U o'clock
;when he fell from the fourth floor of
Stile Columbia (gliding, Portland, to
jthe bottom of the elevator shaft. He
(was a member of the legal firm of.
'Emmons & Webster, which has of
fices In this building.
' Mr. "Webster was leaving his oTrice
to go to dinner when the accident oc
curred. When the elevator stopped
at the fourth flqor in response to his
ring, the bottom or the cage was
about two feet above the level of the
floor,- according to a circumstantiul
account to the police. Mr. Wobster
took a false step, fell and rolled be
tween the elevator and the floor.
The cage, which was operated by
J. C. Sumner, was descending to the
floor level at the time. Mr. Webster
was badly crushed before his body
released itself and crashed lo the bot
tom of the shaft.
Mr. Webster was GO years old and
a native of New York. He practiced
law In southern Oregon and for four
years was circuit judge In Jackson
and Klamath counties, in 1 S 3 r. he
icame to I ortland was a member of
the firm of Carey, Idlcinan, Mays A:
fWebstor. Two years later this firm
dissolved and Mr. Webster and C. M
Idleman continued in partnership for
five years. For two terms, begin
ning In 1902, he was county judge,
resigning In 1910 and being succeed
ed by Judge Cleoton.
As a good roads advocato Mr. Web
ster was very active. lie also took a
great Interest in tho juvenile court,
which was under his jurisdiction. He
was a widower. He was well known
In .Medford and a frequent visitor
here.
In Southern Oregon
Judge Webster's experience ii
southern Oregon rends like n ehiitc
from far west romance. Married in
opposition lo his wife's guardian':
wish, her pnlrimonv wn turned over
to him ami perhaps injudiciously in
vested in railroad slocks. Tloth were
highly talented and gifted with his-'
trionie. powers. The troupe which,
they iieaded failed to prove a finan
cial success mi tl went broke in nutli
ern California and tiie two young
people in lSSIl drifted into Jackson
ville where tile late C. C. llcckman
nnd'Thos. G. Kennies interested theiri
sclves in their welfare. Webster
clerked in Hie store of Kennies Bros.,
and Mrs. Webster taught school for
several terms.
i Judge Webster possessed a mosl
plcnsimr personally "Mil even as a
boy displayed great oratorical ability.
While studying law as a clerk, lie
won the hearts of the pioneers by a
most eloquent plea in the murder Irial
known historically ns I he "Justus
Cnse." This before admission to the
bar. The famous Kellcy-Uiible min
ing ease was (lien the engrossing legal
niatlcr in southern Oregon, verging
closely on a mining war, so intense
was the interest, lion. J. K. Ilaiina
presided on the circuit bench. More
familiar than the supreii'e couri on
mining law and custom, he hazarded
an order which was Innlamoant to
"reversing the supreme court." The
sheriff, the late A. S. Jacobs, enforc
ed the mandate ot the supreme court.
while the precinct constable was call
ed on to enforce liie order of Ihe cir
cuit court. 1 5 ii t for the firmness of
the sheriff, gun piny would have been
resorted to.
llaiimt Itcsigns I'rom Itcncli
1'ndcr the circumstances, it seemed
advisable for Judge linna lo resign
from the circuit bench, which he did
is the Kellov-Iiuhlo case was not fi
nally off the docket, none of the other
attorneys of southern Oregon could
see their way clear to accept the ii
pointmeut. On petition ot warm
friends of Judge Webster, floveruor
Lord was induced to appoint him to
the vacancy, nolwitli-tanding the
fact that he had never had n case on
Ihe civil docket of tin- court. It is
official history that Weli-tcr made
good on the ben -h, being re-elected
for n six-year trim at the expiration
of the term for which lie was ap
pointed, lie then was a candidate
against (leorge K. ChnmlH-rlnin for
attorney general of Oregon. A little
