MIC WINDS SPREAD DAMAGE Held Over CLARK GABLE UULLMrOLO Utl iJ L F Counsel for Accused County Judge Admits 'Error in Dictation' Says Attorney General Did Not Lie The claim of County Judge, Earl H. Fehl, charged with a score ot I others of ballot-theft, that Former Assistant Attorney-General William S. Levens had expressed to htm be lief in hla innocence of the charge, and that he was "being 'framed' as he expressed It," virtually collapsed Monday afternoon in circuit court when A. C. Hough of Grants Pass, at torney for Fehl, admitted "an error in dictation." and further said, "the attorney general probably told the truth." Attorney Hough filed a supporting affidavit to Fehl's affidavit which also charged that Levens, who died on the eve of the Banks murder trial, had told him he Intended to report to Attorney General Van Winkle that the accused official waa being " framed' as he expressed it." Fehl alleged that the purported conversa tion' took place about five o'clock April 27. Attorney-General Van Winkle. In ft telegram, denied the claim of Fehl, emphatically and In full. Hoped to Eye Evidence. The affidavits of Fehl and his at torney were filed in support of their motion for the right to inspect con fessions and Interview state witnesses in the ballot theft case. It was held that the afitdavtta were "Immaterial" to the motion. The question, as a result of Attorney Hough's statement, and other de velopments, leaves the issue, Assist ant Attorney-General Moody stated in court "between the word of Fehl and a dead man who Is not here to speak for himself." State authorities say that the only conversations between the deceased attorney general and Fehl, was at Fehl's request, when he asked for a reduction of his 15,000 bonds. Hough Makes Statement. The statement of Fehl's attorney, A. C. Hough, as taken from the of ficial report, Is as follows; Hough: "I wish to say in reply, if the court please, to what counsel, the assistant attorney general had to say, I didn't know until he called i my attention to it by reading it that 1 1 had made an error In dictation here. ' I stated to the court In the opening statement that I made that after 1 had spoken to Attorney General Van Winkle and said to him that I had come there for the purpose of telling him what Judge Fehl had told me, that he said 'Yes, that is about what he told me.' I see that I stated It in dictating It 'Yes, that is what Mr. Levens told me.' He didn't say 'That is what Levens told me,' he said 'Yes. that is about what he (Fehl) told me,' but In making my statement to the attorney general I was talking about what Judge Fehl had told me that Mr. Levens had told him, and that Mr. Levens would carry It to the at torney general, and I thought I had made It plain to the attorney general that I wanted a confirmation of It, and after I made my statement, the attorney general said 'Yes, that Is about whnt he told me'." The Court: "Meaning that is about what Judge Fehl told him." Mr. Hough: "I don't know now, I can see now through this thing and where the error lies. The attor ney general probably told the truth when he said he never saw Mr. Levens after he left Medford up to the time he died. The attorney general had seen Judge Fehl a few days or two weeks before, about two weks be fore, and when he used the word 'he' the attorney general probably was re ferring to the statement that Judge Fehl had stated to him, and prob ably that Is where I erred." The Court : "I think so. As 1 I stated. someone had misunderstood that no one is trying to He about it." Mr. Hough: "Neither one of us is." The Court: "I am satisfied you wouldn't lie, and I am satisfied the attorney general wouldn't. I think it Is some error." Hough: "I am sure that at some conversation, it doesnt appear in this record, but if I make an error In this matter I hope counsel will immediately rise to it." The Court: "He will.H Hough: "And on the other hand I hope that if I do not, that the at torney general will confess it." 4 Notice Have power sprayer with lots of pressure, for spraying cork elms, and all fruit trees.
