    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.
