Testimony of
In Trial of Banks
Arouses Suspicion
Salem, June 5. (AP) Investigation of alleged perjury In the L. A. Banks' trial at Eugene recently was
asked In a letter today from Governor Julius L. Meier to Attorney Gen?ral I. H. VanWInkle.
The attorney general said he probably appoint rfalph E Moody. Moody, Medford attorney, to investi
gate and make any prosecutions regarding alleged perjury of witnesses at the trial of ex-edltor Banks and
hla wife.
' Moody was In charge of the prosecution at the Eugene trial where Banks was found guilty of
second degree murder of Constable George Preecott of Medford. Mrs. Banks was acquitted. At present
Moody Is in charge of prosecution of alleged ballot thefts in Jackson county.
The action of Governor Meier, in
ordering a grand Jury investigation
of purported perjury charges In the
Banks murder trial has been forecast
since the case closed, and came as the
result of a demand from all sections
of the state, as well as this county,
that the perjury charges be given a
thorough airing.
The presentation of the fact ana
evidence will be In the handa of As
sistant Attorney General Ralph B.
Moody, directed by the state of Ore
gon to prosecute all allied cases in
the Banks-fed Jackson county agita
tion. Including the ballot theft cases,
criminal syndicalism charges, and
minor affairs before and after the
murder of Conatable Prescott.
Six Involved.
The defense witnesses Involved In
the Investigation are Mayor Walter
Jones of Rogue River, Indicted for
ballot theft; Mrs. Mae Murray and
Mrs. Effle Lewis, her daughter; Mrs.
May Powell of the Talent district and
Abner Cox, laborer, and Banks co
hort, and John Wheeler, Spring street
gardener.
Jones testified that at the time 01
the shooting, he was in an auto en
route north, that hla family drove
him to Grants Pass, where he secured
a ride to Portland with a salesman.

also testified that on February 36.

charging ballot theft, and confined
In the city Jail, he heard the slain
officer and Policeman Joe Cava con

alleged he heard the conversation.
and Sam Carey, testified he was at
the door of the Pacific Record Her
ald building on Sixth street when
the report of the killing wss re
ceived, and not on the way north. A
state witness testified that Jones and
Abner Cox left for the Banks home
together. Corroborative testimony
since reported, shows that a number
of people saw them walking towards
the murder spot, snd at the Banns
home after the slaying.
Testified to Threat.
Mrs. Mae Murray and her daughter

BAR PROSECUTION
Among the many falsehoods being
distributed over the county by lead
ers of the so-called Good Government
Contrress la the statement that "if
the ballot cases are tried, there will
be no money for schools this year.
The congress leaders are resorting to
every hook and crook to prevent jus
tice in these cases being carried out,
snd thla absurd report Is only one of
many.
The expense of the ballot caaea
will not affect the schools in any
way. In fact, no general expenses can
affect the schools. According to the
state constitution, sustained by the
courts many times, and only a few
days ago In Washington county,
school funds come before everything,
even before the state taxes. School
funds sre neither subject to diversion
nor to delinquency.
In other words, the schools have
by law the first claim to tax money
and the schools can only be deprived
of funds a noted them if there are
no taxes paid.
County school authorities, as well
as county officials are thoroughly
aroused over this effort to Injure the
schools, in the vain hope of obstruct

County Judge Earl H. Fehl. and
Suspended -Sheriff Gordon L. Scher
merhorn charged with ballot theft,
this afternoon filed motions with As
sistant Attorney General Ralph E.

Each of the accused officials also
filed a motion asking for the right
to see all confessions and state
ments made In the Investigations by
any of the indicted men, and the
right to Interview any indicted man.
now held In the oounty Jail.
In addition to the above. County
Judge Fehl, has -a motion filed ask
ing for the quashing of the bench
warrant upon which he was arrest
ed. Arguments on the motions will
probably be made tomorrow.
Ballot theft defendants scheduled
to be arraigned and enter pleas this
week are E. A. Fleming. Jacksonville
orchard 1st; Walter Jones, mayor of
Rogue River; Arthur La Dieu, form
er business aide of Banks, and
Claude -Ward, brother-in-law of
Banks.
County Judge Fehl and Suspended
Sheriff Schermerhorn have been ar
raigned, but have not entered pleas
an yet.
Preliminary arguments and. mo
tions In the Jackson county ballot
theft cases. Involving 23 men. in
cluding eight who have entered
pleas of guilty, six "John Does" and
two county officials, are scheduled
to open tomorrow in circuit court,
before Judge George F. Skip worth of
Eugene. The arguments and details
are expected to require two days.
With the completion of the pre
liminaries, and the settlement of a
number of legal Issues, the court will
set the trial dates and the state of
Oregon will announce which of the
defendants it will try first. The
prosecution will be In charge of
Assistant Attorney General Ralph E.
Moody, assigned to the post by the
state attorney-general.
Defense Course Veiled
Counsel for the various defend
ants, have given no Information rel
ative to the course they will pur
sue. One of the argued Issues, will be
a motion filed shortly after his ar
rest by County Judge arl H. Fehl,
seeking to quash the bench warrant
upon which he was arrested. The
plea contends that Circuit Judge W.
M. Duncan had no Jurisdiction to
issue the warrant and that the grand
Jury did not meet In the proper
room to deliberate.
Suspended Sheriff Schermerhorn
Saturdsy, through his counsel. Attor
ney Frank J. Newman, announced
that he would make no request for
a change of venue, and that he "de
sired to be tried in his own county,
snd by his own people."
Some To Reek Change
It Is anticipated that some of the
defendants will seek a change of
venue. The state has announced
that it would contest thla move."
The defendants, under Oregon law
have the right to request separate
trials and it Is expected each will
do so. All are Jointly Indicted.
The defense also has the right to
file an affidavit of prejudice against
Judge Skipworth, but It la reported
many of the defendants are opposed
to this.

man in the horse-hair coat." and

OLSO, Norway, June S. ( AP)
Jimmle Mattorn, the grinning Texaa
airman the world haa feared lost,
who reached Moscow early today in
hla red-whlte-and-blue plane "Cen
tury of Progress," today made a sur
prise landing on a small island 70
miles southwest of Oslo.
Fighting storms and fogs, which
forced htm 300 kilometers off his
course, the dauntless filer from San
Angelo, Texaa. fought his way
through successfully to land safely
on Jomfruland Island, on Norway's
south coast, at 4:15 a. m... Eastern
Standard Time, yesterday.
The first news that Oslo heard of
the landing came when the light
house keeper telephoned from his
post on the Island that Mattem had
landed on the beach there and waa
safe.
A private plana was sent there to
give him any aid necessary and at
0 p. m., Eastern Standard Time, yes
terday, he hopped ' for Oslo. Landing
at the military aerodrome, he halted
only briefly, and with his big tanks
brimful with more than 700 gallons
of gasoline, he was off toward the
RuaalBJi metropolis at 12:40 a. m
today, Eastern Standard Time.
(He la the first man to make a
non-stop hop alone from New York
to Norway).
Mattern revealed that he had
slightly damaged a wing on landing,
but he was able to make repairs
himself. Girls on the little Island
on which he alighted wrote their
names on the plane's wing.
News of his landing took Norway
by surprise. The military airdrome
Is 5 miles from Oslo and many out
lying telephones were not working
because of the White Sunday holt

ROOSEVELT'S EYE
GOING OFF GOLD
Copyrighted by McCIure Newspaper

By PAUL MA IX ON.
WASHINGTON, June 0. The pub
lic excuse haa been made that Mr.
Roosevelt waa forced into thla new
sntt-gold standard legislation.
They say at the White House he
ran into difficulties trying to enforce
hla executive order taking us off gold
and that la true, but It la only half
the story.
It covers tip the fact that Mr.
Roosevelt renlly had his eye on Eu
rope when he recommended perma
nent legislation. It gives him a blg
ger club over the London Economic
Conference. He needed it.
The administration haa spent most
of Its time recently trying to depre
ciate the dollar abroad. That ques
tion has been bothering Mr. Roose
velt more than any other.
We have gone to extremes trying
to make Europe believe we are, em
barked on a policy of Inflation. We
want them to get frightened so they
will come through with some tar
iff agreements and exchange stabil
ization concessions at London,
However no one la supposed to
say anything about It. Treasury Sec
retary Wood In partially let the cat
out of the bag one day. He received
a lecture at the W.hlte House for the
slip.
Wood In had said the first $36,000,
000 open market purchase of bonds
meant we were off on inflation with
a bang. That sort of ballyhoo was
a little too obvious. Even with low
er redlFCOiint rates you cannot get
much Inflation that way. Mr. Hoov
er tried it. His open market opera
tions ran around $.10,000,000 a week
for months. Yet deflation contin
ued.
The auspices are much better now.
But we shall need more than open
market operations to keep the dollar
down abroad. Europe knows that,
