voluntary Manslaughter
Was Called Accident.
moviDBNCB, 11. I., Mar. 10.
lloland II. 1'othiL-r of Central Falls,
'formerly an army sergeant, today for
mally admitted that ho killed Major
Alexander P. Cronkhite, son of Ma
jor General Cronkhite, at Camp Lewis
Wash., October 25, 11118. The fede
ral commissioner before, whom ho
was arraigned, accepted a plea of
guilty to a charge of involuntary
manslaughter.
Major Cronkhite, who was in com
mand of a battalion of infantry nt
Camp Lewis, had marched his men
from Camp Lewis for pistol piuctice,
on the day of his death. During the
noon hour while his men were at
mess, the major walked some yards
away behind a clump of bushes and
began firing at an old tobacco tin as
a target.
On Jlis fifth shot, ho turned toward
some soldiers idling on tho ground
nearby and called out "did you see
that shot?" The men turned toward
him, when suddenly another Bhot was
heard and they saw Major Cronkhite
fall. There was a bullet wound under
Ills right armpit.
Body Was Exhumed.
An nrmy court of Inquiry reported
that the officer had shot himself ac
cidentally, but upon tho return of
Major General Cronkhite from
France, a new investigation was
started, tho body was exhumed and
experts are said to have asserted that
the wound could not have been self
inflicted. Slnco Pothier was discharged from
the army in June. 1019, the depart
ment of justice has been searching
for him. lie was arrested hero
Thursday at tho Auburn freight
yards ot tho New Haven railroad,
where ho was employed as a hrako
man. Federal officers refused to discuss
tho case further, but it is understood
that Pothier told thcin his pistol was
discharged accidentally, whilo ho was
cleaning it.
Further arrests are expected, how
ever. Officially Culled Accident.
CAM 1 LEWIS, AVnsh., Mar. 19.
Major Alexander Cronkhite was fa
tally shot on the pistol rango hero
Octobor 25, 1918. An official army
investigating hoard found that ho was
accidentally killed by a bullet from
his own pistol. Tho report of tho
board was not questioned until tho
major's father, Major General Cronk
hite and Mrs. Cronkhite asked, that
another investtigation bo held. They
assorted tholr belief that their son
had been shot down by an enemy
during the practice. They declared
Major Cronkhito was a pistol expert
nnd that it was unlikely that ho could
have shot himself by accident.

time at tho prieo ashed, $20,000, and
terms, yet whilo taking no formal ac
tion the subject war. dropped after
Dr. Keene put up vUoauis opposition
declaring that it would be unwise ti
obligate the city to such a .ir,?u debt
for this purpose at tills time in view
of the unsettled financial conditions
existing throughout the country and
tho financial status of the city, lie
dwelt especially on tho fact Unit t
him It seemed absurd for tho council
after having just voted to pay oft
938,000 of tho city's bonded indebted
ness, duo April 1, to go into duo:
again for J2O.O00.
Therefore, the councllmen dropped
mo proposal and with the mayor, din
cussed the mutter of either fixing uj
the present auto camp grounds or of
purchasing somo other site at a com
paratively small sum.
Tho present outlook is that unless
the cnuiicilmeu are awakened by pub
uc opinion Mcdford will continue to
havo among tourists the reputation
of having one of the worst city auto
camp grounds on the Pacific coast for
a city of its importance and st.e on
a main traveled highway.
The proposal for the city to pur
chaso the Pacific and Eastern termi
nal grounds at $20,000 has been en
dorsed by the chamber of commerce
directors, tho chamber of commerce
forum and many business men and
property owners. An endorsement is
expected also from the Greater Med
ford club.
The offer to sell tho Pacific; and
Eastern property of 19 acres, Includ
ing tho brick depot property for $20,
000, is ns follows. Cash payment
down of $3000, and the balance to
bo payable In city warrants payable
at tho rato of $2000 or more yearly,
interest nt 6 per cent payablti semi
annually. Or, if the city desires to
purchase the other buildings than the
depot ou tho property, the price is
$21,500.
Adherents of tho proposed pur
chase point out that the locntiou is
central and almost Ideal toy a com
modious city nuto camp grounds,
the 19 acres extending between Knst
Main street and Jackson street, and
from the west side of Bear creek with
a big East Main street frontage. They
point out that with comparatively lit
tle expense It could bo mado very at
tractive and that tho depot building
could bo used for headquarters and
shelter Htructuro, that shower baths
and other conveniences could be in
stalled therein. The 19 acres would
also provide a children's playground
and general park in addition to an
auto camp grounds.
