CLAIM OF BENSON IE
IS DECLARED JUST
Norton Decision for $500 Is
Affirmed Tollefson Plea
for Rehearing Is Denied
Pardon Now Only Hope
8ALEM, March 31. (AP) In the
flret opinion handed down by the
Oregon supreme court since the legal
holiday period which started March 3
h court today rendered 14 written
and a score of oral decrees. None of
the cases were declared of major im
portance, many Involving suits for
money and performance of contracts.
An opinion by Justice Harry Belt
affirmed tha Jackson county circuit
court in the case of Axel Benson and
Adlna Benson, respondents, against
the city of Medford. The opinion
stated this suit was a suit to recover
' tamsges on account of sewage which
the city permitted to escape from Its
septic tank Into a stream running
thru real property alleged to be own
ed by the Bensons.
The circuit -court, presided over by
Judge H. D. Norton, returned a ver
dict of 500 against the city. Med
ford appealed, but the court affirm
ed the lower court. The opinion
stated "there will be no danger of
the city's being subjected to another
auch action on the same state .of
facts."
Other opinions handed down today
Included:
Petitions for rehearing denied in
Conn va. Duntley and state vs. Tol
lefson. By virtue of the state supreme
court today denying his petition, for
a re-hearlng, only executive clemency
stands between Alvln Tollefson and
state prison.
Tollefson la under sentence to serve
two years and six months for perpe
tration of a bank robbery hoax May
10 last, to' which 'he confessed ana-
entered a plea of guilty. As cashier
of the Central Point State bank, re
cently closed, he reported a bank
robbery. The hoax was discovered
later. Tollefson then admitted he
had used this means to cover up his
own defalcations. All the money
taken was recovered. Some had been
hidden In a coffee pot at Tollefson's
home.
Tollefson entered a plea of guilty
before Circuit Judge Norton and was
sentenced to state prison. Immeai
ately steps were taken tP appeal the
case, and petitions to the high court
filed, on the grounds that Tollefson's
constitutions! rights had suffered.
At the time of sentence a large
number of Medford and Central
Point people asked that he be grant
ed a parole, which the court denied.
It Is understood that petitions, wide
ly signed, are ready to be presented
to the governor asking for clemency.
The Tollefson case gained wide at
tention at the time, and has been a
source of public Interest here for
several months.
