Order Signed by Judge
Skipworth Sets March 5
As Positively Final Date
for Perfecting Appeal
JIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 6. 1934.
Circuit Judge George P. Skipworth
of Lane county, in in order signed
yesterday, granted Gordon L. Scher
merhorn, former sheriff of Jackson
county, until March 5th to perfect
his appeal to the state ' supreme
court, with the admonishment, "This
Is absolutely final, and no further
time will be granted under any cir
cumstances, and If the appeal can
hot be perfected within the time
allowed by the court, It Is not the
fault of the court."
The order, filed with the county
court today, concludes: "The prac
tice Indulged in, in this case is cer
tainly not to be commended."
Sentenced In August
Schermerhorn, found guilty of bal
lot theft complicity last July, by
a Jackson county jury, was sen
tenced August 7 last to serve three
years In state prison. Earl H. Fehl,
Walter J. Jones of Rogue River, and
J. Arthur LaDieu, other leaders in
the crime, are now serving four year
sentences In state prison. The court
in passing sentence upon Schermer
horn, said "It Is a painful duty, and
I will recommend your narole, when
you have served your minimum sen
tence." The court, In its order reviews
briefly the history of the appeal
moves to date and state, "Several
extensions of time .have been grant
ed, once because of the inability
of the defendant to raise money
necessary for the transcript of the
evidence." Another extension was
granted, because, the "court reporter
was ill, and because of pressure of
business In this district."
Final Extension
"Further time Is now requested,
although the manner in which the
request Is made Is not In accordance
with the law or procedure In such
cases, yet the court has concluded
to grant an additional time, but this
Is absolutely final; and no further
time will be granted under any cir
cumstances, and if the appeal can
t tot, be perfected within the time
Ulowed by the court, it Is not the
fault of the court.
"Counsel has not filed a motion
based upon an affidavit for an ex
tension of time, but mailed an affi
davit to the court, without a mo
tion, and without filing an affidavit,
and the affidavit did not reaah the
hands of the court until February
3. The court Is overlooking the fact
that a motion has not been filed . , .
and that the affidavit forwarded to
the court has not been filed, in mak
ing the order for an extension.
Practice Regretted
"The practice Indulged In, In this
case, Is certainly not to be com
mended." ,
Schermerhorn has been at liberty
on 7500 bonds, furnished by Tom
Taylor and Jens Jensen, pending' appeal.-His
is the only one of the bal
lot theft cases, not finally disposed
of. Most of the defendants are either
serving penitentiary sentences or
out on parole. One was acquitted,
and the indictments against five
others dismissed, because they gave
state evidence, or they were only
minor participants.
Schermerhorn, a long time rest
dent of the valley, and well known,
was elected sheriff by & counted
majority of 123 votes. A contest was
instituted and a recount ordered, but
the ballots were stolen, automatical
ly halting the proceeding. Later he
was ousted from office by Governor
Meier.
OLD AGE PENSIONS
APPLICATIONS ARE
GIVEN COURT'S EYE
The county court met today to
consider old age pension applications
which continue to be filed. It Is
expected that some action will be
taken today, on the approval of some
of the applications. None, however,
will he formally filed until the mid
dle of the month.
Consideration of applications has
been delayed by failure of data from
relatives and other county courts to
arrive. A complete history of the
applicant Is neeea.ary. before ap
proval. Requests for information from
Los Angeles, middle west, and south
ern states has not been received. The
application Is checked with the re
lief rolls and tax rolls of other resi
dences of applicants, and data gath
ered relative to the ability of kin
!o aid.
Payment of the pensions continues
one of the problems of the county
court. The last budget allowed 15000
which Is not enough. Members of
the county court estimate It will cost
between 173.000 and 1100.000 per year
Other counties of the state are In the
same position.
Officials of some counties hope If
