ifEDFORD M5TL TRTBTJXTS. JrEDFOTTO, OREGON. SUNDAY, XPRTL 24, 1932. PA'GE FIVE REED TRIAL JURY Verdict Found On First Bal lot Is Revelation Cool ness of Ashland Police man Verified by Affiants Albert W. Reed, Denver, Colo., youth, serving life In the state prison .at 8alem lor the slaying of Victor Knott, Ashland policeman, last No vember, was found guilty on the first ballot before any discussion of the evidence, according to an affidavit filed by Charles S. Butterfleld, fore man of the Jury. A corroborating affidavit Is filed by George W. Por ter, another member of the Jury. The two affidavits, with a dozen others, were filed Saturday by the district attorney's office In resistance to the defense plea for a new trial. This fact was heretofore unknown as the Jury, before returning a ver dict of second degree murder, pledged themselves to give no Information about their balloting. Tne jury de liberated for 19 hours, evidently on the degree of t,he penalty. Juror Denies Misconduct Alleged misconduct of Mrs. Myrtle OeBauer, this city, a Jury woman, does not constitute grounds for a new trial, the state's resistance con tends, and cites Oregon supreme court decisions in support of their viewpoint. Mrs. GeBauer and her husband, Max GeBauer, both make affidavit that they drove by the scene of the murder, that they did not i stop, made no comment thereon, and that It was a casual trip to a neigh borhood where they once resided. Affidavits signed by Capt. Lee M. Bown, state police head for south ern Oregon, and J. S. Folsom, James O'Brien and B. M. Baucom, state police privates; Sam Malehorn, Salem, state fire investigator; Sheriff Jen nings; Charles Clause, police chief, Ashland; Cliff Baughman, fire chief, Ashland, and Glen S. Simpson, Wil lard Leonard and Harry McNalr, Ash land merchants, declare that Police man Laymon was cool and as calm as could be expected; that he de clared he could recognize the trigger man If he ever saw him again; that he gave a detailed description a half hour after the killing. Silence Advised Captain Bown avers that he advis ed Laymon not to grant interviews or give descriptions to the public or press indiscriminately. Chief Clause and Chief Baughman, and Simpson, Leonard and McNalr, and Roy Lay mon, son of the state star witness, and Guy Applewhite, the latter two doortenders at the police station on the night of the killing, affirm .Reed was not In the station, and that they could have seen him had he been. The stat police and authorities assert that Aubrey Miles, J. L. Hoxle and Charles Wlmer of Ashland, who filed defense affidavits that Reed was In the police station on the murder nlftht, are actuated by animus. T. E. Patterson of Ashland, who affirmed Laymon was excited after the murder. Is alleged to be of "an excitable and Irresponsible nature." Counter Defense Claims Every affidavit advanced by the defense Is controverted by the state affidavits. The state's resistance plea contests the exceptions to the Instructions of the court by the defense, and holds the instructions to the Jury are up held by law and procedure. It la expected that the arguments on the motion for the new trial will be heard by Circuit Judge Norton within the week. Zlon English Lutheran Church West Fourth Street at Oakdale. George P.

RAP' FOR LIQUOR TO SAVE Due to complaints having been re ceived for the past two weeks thst liquor was being sold at the house at 701 West Jackson street, opposite the Jackson school, State Policeman E. B. Oskes, Cy Herr, federal prohi bition agent, and Joe Cave city po liceman, made a raid on the house, rented and occupied by two women, many nigni. They found 10 empty pint bottles snd an empty gallon jug In the house proper, and a half pint of alcohol in the hsnd bag of Jack Williams, a roomer. Williams, who was arrested on the charge of possession of the half pint, to which ha pleaded guilty in Judge Taylor's court yesterday afternoon wns fined 2S and costs. The testimony In court Is that Wil liams, who only went to the house last Monday as a boarder, and who claims he was unaware of the boot leg reputation of the place, had agreed with the arresting officers to "take th rap" for the women. There was no evidence of sales on the psrt of Williams, and hence Judge Taylor was placed In a quan dary by the peculiar situation, as he could take no cogntrance of the agree ment between Williams and the of ficer for the former to take the blame. Hence he only fined Williams for having a half pint In the hand bag found In his room. Williams, whose reputation Is good, and who holds a business position In the city, declared he knew nothing of the alleged selling from the house as he was away all day, leaving for work In the morning, and returning late in the evening.
