"Nothing doing. That's too big an
order."

wrotu to Banks, until It came up here
yesterday." He told uf the plans for
the tervlce of a criminal uoei war
rant Issued by Judge L. A. Roberts

Dear Sir:
Would it be agreeable to you
should I be at the meeting, or at the
close.
"Vourself, Earl Fehl, and myself
will hsve dinner together. Then we
will go to Ashland, and pay Mr. Rob
erts a visit. This snould only tske
about an hour.
"Your co-operation will be appre
ciated.
"Very trtuly yours,
"Phillip B. Lowd."
Bert Harr of the Upper Applegate
testified Friday, he had seen the let
ter in the Banks home, when he
paid a visit.
County Diners Listed
Mrs. Joe Daniels, matron and stew
ardess of the county Jail, testified
that ss fsr as she oould see, the Jail
was efficiently managed, that a sav
ing had been effected, and thaf'or-
der and decorum was maintained" by
Schermerhorn appointees.
On cross-examination the matron
admitted, that T. L. Brecheen, In
dicted for ballot theft, "ate several
times." at the jail table, and that
O. H. Brown, secretary of the "Good
Government congress," was a "fre
quent diner." She said Attorney Tom
Bmnght, and Attorney Newton W.
Chaney had "eaten a couple of meals."
She also said the sheriff had eaten
meals, and said I am keeping track,
and will pay for them"
The matron said Brown ate meals
In the Jail, while at liberty, upon
the orders of County Judge Fehl.
She had also served meals to mem
bers of the grand Jury of which Wil
liam T. Grieve of Prospect was fore

ficial capacity.
Nellson Tells of Threats
Oeorge W. Nellson, deputy district
attorney, was the first witness called
yestorday. He testified chiefly to ne
gotiations conducted in an effort to
name a Jailer, "so the district at
torney's office will have a third In
terest In It" he said that "conditions
are unsatisfactory, because of the
sheriff's connections with those In
volved, snd the suspicions oast by
the sheriff's Indictment for ballot
theft complicity." He said his visits
to the county Jail were speedily
known.
"I.l view of the threats I have re
ceived by phone, I didn't oonslder It
safe to be around the Jail oorrldor
not that I was afraid."
The official said S.e thought "Mr.
Schermerhorn should step out for 00
days beoause of the suspicion In
the ballot robbery." To thought he
was unfit, beoause of .the evidence
gathered In the ballot robbery the
public doeant know a fourth of It."
Du.lng ths examination of Nellson,
the ecurt asked Attorney Newmon to
be brief, and "not go too far afield.
I want all the facts to be brought
out, but I dont want any acrimon
ious feeling to crop out there hss
been too much feeling already in this
county. Tlie court Intends to keep tho
feeling down, and expects the attor
neys to help him."

(Continued from Page One)
that Banks' brother and attorney
were expected to arrive late yester
day, and confirmed Mra. Banks, state
ment that additional counsel would
be employed, "and would be welcom
ed." The state now claims to have a
complete picture of what happened
In the Banks home, for an hour be
fore the wanton slaying of Constable
Presoott, and that neighbors and
pedestrians gave testimony relative to
the a i rival and departure of persons
and autos at the murder scene, over
a "rather long period "
The grand Jury, which Is scheduled
to meet again thla week, for further
consideration of testimony in the
county turmoil, is expected to take
further aotton in th case of E. A.
Fleming of Jacksonville, orchard 1st.
who was in the Banks home at the
time of the killing, snd was arrested
when he attempted to riee by the
back door. Fleming Is also one of
the men indicted in the ballot theft
case?. His family for several weeks
endenored to keep him from becom
ing v-mrbolled In the "good govern
ment congress activities,' without
success. He waa an active worker and
ta laer In the ranks.
No time has been sot for the ar
raign mont and plead 1 n g of Ba nks
and his wife to the first degree mur
der charge. It is not likely to come to
pass until after their attorneys have
had a chance to study the case, and
prepare necessary 4egal papers., It is
not likely that the district attorney's
orflca will be ready to proceed until
the grand Jury has completed most
of Its work. Both sides have expressed
a desire for an early trial.
State police continue to collect evi
dence In the murder and allied
crimes. They are checking back on
the past of several of the men ac
cused. The authorities jefuse to deny
or confirm the report "they have
plenty of confessions, and the whole
story."

VI HJX TIME- 1
By JOHNNY FARRELL
(As Told to Artie McGovern)
In and around the greens that's
where strokes are either saved or lost.
"Keep your head down" is a fun
damental rule that applies more to
the ahort game than to any other
phase of golf.
All short shots should be played
with very little pivot, a short back
swing, and full forward swing. Don't
try an easy awing on these shots.
They must be hit firmly.
The distance la controlled by the
back swing. If you bring the club
head back only two feet from the
ball, you can depend upon a dis
tance of 38 to 30 yards; from three
to four feet a firmly hit ball will
travel B0 to 76 yards.
These short approach shots must
be worked out on the fairway and
greens of your own course before
you can show; marked improvement
in your score.

such a "slump" In rental returns will

The srtlcls. written by Al Chase,
