SIEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD, PRECOX, TTEDXESDAY, 3PRIL 12, 1933 PSOE FIVE DEPOSE JONES AS Welter Jones, mayor of RofU IUt r, under indlotment with 31 others Including County Judge Earl H. Fehl, And Sheriff Gordon L. Schermerhorn, has been deposed ae road supervisor of the Rogue River district. The mo tion was taken several weeks ago, and Just became known in the lset few days. Jones was appointed by Coun ty Judge Fehl, and had charge of road and relief work In the area. No successor has been named by the county court. For the present the work of the district 1 being handled by William Tetherow of the Eagle Point district. Inability of residents to asjree upon a road supervisor, is given as the reason for delaying the appointment. A number of prospects x have been received, to names sug- gested as probable successors. The county court held Its regular , session today, and the morning sea- slon was chiefly devoted to Issuance of aid orders, and delinquent tax matters. Mayor Jones, was the leader of the "good government congress" forces in his section, and active In the courthouse turmoil that followed the entrance of Fehl into office. At a session of the contempt proceed ings against Former County Judge 0 . B. Lamkln, and County Commissioner Victor Bursell, Jones dramatically demanded, In the presence of a full courtroom, that Commissioner Neal 1 on resign, when presenting a petition to that end. NOT GUILTY PLEA (Continued from Page One.) of a change of venue Informed the court that "In spite of the propa ganda In the papers, the defense Is not seeking delay." The court replied MI am here only to hear the case. Murmur Dentals Banks, attired In a dark grey suit, was first to plea. He answered In a low voice. "Not guilty." Mrs. Banks then spoke the same words. In ex ceedingly low voice, heavy with ner vousness. The couple were then escorted back to their cells by the state police, the sheriff. Jail matron, and chief Jailer. The entire proceeding took less than ten minutes. Arguments on the change of venue motion will be heard tomorrow, and Attorney Phlpps stated the - motion would be supported by affidavits. , The change of venue motion. It Is said, will contend that owing to the state of public opinion, the defen dants would have their constitution al rights Jeopardized, and owing to the wide publicity, difficulty would be experienced In securing a Jury. The state will contest the motion. Court Room Filled Promptly at 0:30 o'clock. Judge Skip worth ascended the bench. The seating capacity of the courtroom was filled a half hour earlier. The bailiff ordered a man In the rear of the room to be seated, with the words: "No one Is allowed to stand." Attorney Phlpps was the only mem ber of defense counsel present when court was called. Attorney Enrlght entered & few minutes later. Henrietta B. Martin, president of the late so-called "Good Government congress," and active lieutenant of Banks In his political efforts, and her mother, Mrs. C. H. Brown, arrived too late to gain entry to the court room. The door bailiff dented ad mission because all of the seats were occupied. Mrs. Martin? was disap pointed, but made no effort to gain entrance,, after the emphatic refusal. Change Up to Court J The court has the right, under Oregon law, following the arguments of both sides to deny or grant the motion for a change of venue. The court, In the event the change to another county Is granted, has the right to designate the county In which the trial shall be held. Following the completion of the change of venue plea, the court will set the trial date. The motion for a change of venue was unexpected. If granted all the witnesses In the case would be trans ported to the new trial site and the expense would be greatly enhanced. Following the entering of pleas Banks and his wife had no comment. Jatl attendants said the pair were affected by the proceedings, and are beginning to view the charge against them seriously. In the courtroom at the time were petit Jurors csJled to serve In a civil action. Judge Sklpworth, assigned to the eae yesterday by the state supreme court, following the filing of an affi davit of prejudice against Judge W. ),M. Duncan of Klamath county, ar rived last night by auto, after a day In his own court. He was accom panied by Mrs. Sklpworth. Continue Ballot Case The state, through Assistant Attor- , ney General William 3- Levena, asked that the ballot theft cases. In which Judge Duncan was disqualified by filing of six affidavit of prejudice be continued further. Judge Sklpworth asked If any actions were to be pre- j The affidavits of prejudice were filed by County Judge Fehl, former Sheriff Schermerhorn, J. C. Croft, Walter Jones, mayor of Rogue River, John Glenn, former county Jailer, and Arthur LaDleu. all Indicted on the ballot stealing charge. The state has Indicated that It desires to try the Banks murder cases first, and to clear away the prtllml- nary legal moves, before taking up the ballot theft cases. The matter of whether or not Banks and his mate will be tried to gether or separately. Is a decision that rests exclusively with the de-tense.
