OF MURDER
Old Country Doctor Who Killed
Imbecile Daughter 'for Love'
Freed of All ChargesrWhen
Jury Fails to Agree Vic
tory for Law, State Declares
L1TTLKTON, Coio.', Nov. 12. Hy
Associated Press.) Dr. Harold Klnicr
II Inzer today was cleared of all
charge In connection with the death
of his !M -year-old imbecile and crip
pled daughter, Hazel on February 21
last.
The action came less than an hour
after tho jury hearing the charge an
nounced it had not reached a verdict
and' was discharged by Judge Samuel
Johnson,
Summoned hastily from his home.
Prosecutor Joel E. Stone appeared
before the presiding judge and made
a motion for dismissal of all charges
and the release of Dr. Blazer, who
was taken' Into custody immediately
after the jury wus discharged.
"I do not feci 41 the province of the
district attorney to persecute anyone,.'
Stone deulurcd, "and In fairness to
- the defendant and the people I now
, ask the court, to dismiss tho charges
against him 'J
1 "As a matter of humanity wc ought
not to try thiH caso again motion
granted." judge Johnson said. "Tho
defendant now Is discharged and may
go fi-ce. Upon formal motion of the
district .attorney at any tlmo ' the
charges pending will be nolle
prossed."
One- of tho Jurors, tho parent of mi
.' invalid daughter' declared " ttTyf "It
was a mistake to discharge the Jury."
"I believe that' we would have re
ported a -verdict with further delib-
onit Ion. only one man held out for
conviction and the rest of us believe
he could have been dissuaded from
his opinion with lunger discussion and
deliberation.
Homicide for Iiove?
"Homicide for love," was the way
Blazer's act wus characterized by the
defense during the trial. "We grunt
that he slew the girl but we deny that.
- he did It with malice aforthoiifht or
that he was sane when he did it." was
the burden of the defense.
The slaying was prompted by the
fear that ho would be taken and that
lazel would "become a burden" on
someone else, Dr. Blazer declared In'
letters which he wrote to explain his
net. After tho slaying the old doctor
made two unsuccessful uitempls to
end his own life once with poison
and another time by slashing his
throat with a razor. The case gained
nation-wide attention when the de
fense announced It would contend the
homicide wus no crime because Hazel
Blazer, a horribly malformed Imbecile
helpless since birth, was "not a hu
tan being." and therefore hud no
' soul.
This contention, however, was re
moved during the closing hours of
the trial when Judge Samuel Johnson
overruled a defense motion for a di
rected verdict dcclurhig that a "being
born of woman Is legal In the eyes of
the law."
Itepurts from court officials assert
ed that one Juror held out for Hie
conviction of Dr. Blazer. The voto
as reported won eleven to one. llow-
ever. Prosecutor Stono said that his
Information was that the vote wus !)
to 3 for acquittal.
Prosecutor Stone, In a statement to
newspapermen said: "I want to say
that this wns a victory for law and
order In this state. Tho fact that the
Jury fulled to .acquit tho .defendant
should be u warping that crime of
tills fort Is not sanctioned In ft do

REAL TORNADO
Upper Willamette Valley Is
Visited By Small, But Genu
ine Twister Barns Blown
Over, Trees Uprooted Fol
lowed By Cloudburst.
SAIJI.M, Ore.. Nov. 12. The near
est thing ton real middle-western tor
nado that bus ever been seen In this
part of the northwest, crossed the dis
trict two miles south of here between
'10 and II o'clock yesterday forenoon.
Barns, fruit dryers and smaller build
ings of frame construction were re
moved from their foundations or oth
erwise badly damaged. Trees in sev
eral orchards were uprooted and many
large oak ami fir trees were twisted
la two. . Telephone lines Were put out
tifi cOminWalun, " ,; .' - '
- It Is estimated that the storm swept
an area about tiiU feel wide, origin
ating apparently somewhere in the
extreme western part of the Willam
ette valley.
Witnesses of . the storm say It had
much the same appearance as a regu
lation middle western tornado and Its
i roar could be heard five or ten mln-
utes before Its arrival ut a given place.
' That greater damage was not uune
was apparently due to the fact that
the storm struck In comparatively
frw places. It seems to huve struck j
with greater force In hollows than on
hills. The storm was easily visible at I
a distance as large limbs frogi trees
and other debris were swirled high
Into the air and carried from a quar
, to half a mile. Itcsldontft of the Lib
erty district declare that fir limbs
were foumf driven Into, the ground
several feci at places a quarter of a
mile from where any fir trees were
growing. '
At Independence, the storm touched
the Standard Oil plant and tore down
the gates. At this point It lifted and
followed the Willamette river for
about three-miles, then as It passed
over the river Into Marlon county,
quantities of water and gravel were
thrown high into in; air.
Three miles below Independence
the storm struck the Will Walker
ranch, tore down the water tower,
overturned bunk houses and moved
eight hop dryers several feet off their
foundations in a twisting motion. One
. of them collapsed and tho others will
I have to be turn do wit and rebuilt.
I At the Davidson and Hedges hop
ranch several large fir trees wero up
rooted, one falling und crushing, the
barn. Another tree struck the house,
tearing away one corner.
As far as reported today nt much
I damage wail done as the storm passed
farther east.
' The storm wus nceomponled by a
severe downpour of rain. Official re
ports here show that during tho 24
hours after 7 o'clock yesterday morn

of Over 2 Billions 5 Million
a Year Required for First 5
Years, Then Payments to
Increase-
WASHINGTON. NOV. 12. (A. P)
The Italian and American debt
commissions today came to an agree
ment for funding of Italy's war debt
to the United States on tho basis of
fl.C4S.U0U.0U0 plus accrued interest
to date.
Italy was granted sixty-two years
In which to pay tho amount which
was calculated at $2 042,000,000. No
Interest payment will -be required
during tho first five years. There
after tho interest rate Will bo one-
eighth of one per cent for ten years
and then increase during successive
ten-year periods to one-fourth of one
per tent. One-half of one per cent,
three-fourths of one per cent and
one per cent and during tho last
seven years two per cent.
WASHINGTON Nov. 12. (A. P.)
Under the funding agreement
reached here today for settlement of
the Italian war debt, tho Italians are
understood to have agreed to a total
debt of 2,042,000,000. Payment will
be at the rate of $5,000,000 a year
for the first five years, increasing
thereafter each year.
Tho total of $2,042,000,000 repre
sents -.the loans mado to Italy and
the interest to dute at 4 VI. per cent.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. (A. P.)
A n agreement was roachod today
for funding the Italian war debt.
Announcement of the settlement
followed a conference- by memberrs
of the American debt commission and
President Coolldgo and a later meet
ing by tho Italian delegation and tho
American commission. Details wore
not disclosed.
Members of the two commissions
said they wero bound to socrecy
pending the issuanco of an official
treasury statement not expected until
late in the afternoon. The reason
for this extraordinary procedure was
as close a secret us the settlement
terms themselves.
There were indications that tho
settlement took very liberal account
of Italy's financial troubles, not only
providing for an extended delay In
payments, but making substantial
concessions also as to interest terms.
Arrangements wero made for the
actual signing of tho compact next
Saturday. A few details of the text
arc yet to bo worked out.
