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.

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.
