ALDEN, Secretary. . neonle Generally. The grand Jury, which Is still in session, was scheduled to probe the affair in an effort to clear up the flan-ant dlsrecard of constituted authority. Preliminary leeal matters In the recount were completed yesterday be fore Circuit Judge George F. Skip worth of Euizene. At the morning ses. slon of court, Judge Sklpworth ruled that former Sheriff Jennings was eligible as a "write-in" candidate. Tampering Hiiiieti At the afternoon se.lon an at tempt was made by Attorney Elton Watkins for Schermerhorn, to show that the ballot boxes had been tarn pered with. County Judge Earl H Fehl and T. L. Brecheen of Ashland, were among the witnesses called They testified the ballot pouches and boxes were In the clerk s onice atacx ed In a corner, more or less In sight the public. Brecheen testified that he noted the pouches, and saw precinct stickers lying on the window sill. Fehl's testimony was short, and no Questions were asked him. The ballots were removed from the cierK s office to the vault from which they were stolen, December 31. The grand Jury, it was revealed thru the teat! mony of Foreman William T. uneve, had investigated the loose stickers, and that Fehl had appeared as a wit ness before the body on the matter, The grand Jury also took an lnven- tory of the ballot containers and their condition. One was found with a broken lockbar. Matter Long In Abeyance Judge Sklpworth had ordered the recount to start this morning, on the grounds that there was no evidence the ballot boxes had been tampered with. The court observed, "that the mere opportunity to tamper, or mere suspicion does not constitute evi dence." The defense counsel made a determined effort to block the recount. The question of a recount has been before the courts and public since last November. On December 3. Jen nings, the "write-in-" candidate, through Attorney Porter J. Neff, tiled a recount petition. Service of sub- Regular Communication of Reames Chapter O. E. Wednesday evening, Feb, 32nd. Initiation and social poena was attempted on Schermer horn. It was then found that Scher merhorn was In Siskiyou county. Two other subpoenas were issued, but service was not made due to Scner merhorn's continued absence in Cali fornia. The first of the year Sheriff Schermerhorn returned, to assume office, and was served, and the initial steps taken for the recount. Started in January Judge Sklpworth heard the first motions In the case, in mid-January, and announced he would return in a short time to conclude the proceed ings. He was delayed until Monday, by pressure of business In his cwn district, until yesterday. The pro ceedings were well underway, when brought to a final close, by the bal lot theft of last night. Sheriff Schermerhorn was issued a certificate of election on the official count which gave him a majority of 123 votes over former Sheriff Jen nings, a "write-in" candidate, Jen nings contended in his petition that a sufficient number of votes for him were cast out on "technical errors" by the various election boards, to have caused his election by "not less than 97 votes." The ballot robbery was the chief topic of conversation throughout the county today. The general verdict was "things have gone far enough," with the firm demand that the per petrators of the outrage be brought to Justice.
