MEDFORD 1IAIL TRIBUM:, !rEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 10.14. STILL A RADICAL IN' PRISON CELL Tells Visitors Wife Will 'Name 150 Crooks Who Railroaded Me' Banks Cheerful, LaDieu Useful Bitterness still rankles in the heart of Earl H. Fehl, serving four years In state prison for his part in the JacK , son county billot theft a year agJ. and he Is regarded by prison authori ties as a radical, while other prisoners lrom Jackson county have come to be agreeable inhabitants of the "Bii: hoiwe," according to Deputy Sheriff Ed Leach and County Jailer Fred Kelly who have returned from Salem. After accompanying a group of prLsonjra north the two officials spent most of Washington's birthday in the prison, which they described yesterday as a t wonderfully well conducted institu tion, where all prisoners (Including Jackson county's contribution) are well fed and wisely cared for. The attitude of Fehl, they declared yesterday as an exceptional and dan gerous one, which will not aid him In getting paroled. "I'm getting by here," they quoted him as saying, "and I'm coming back to Jackson county as soon as I st out and send the 150 crooks, who rail roaded me through, up here." They also quoted the ex-county Judge as telling them he wasn't at all glad to see them, in spite of tneir menaiy salutation, and adding that "Mrs. Fehl will be home soon to start her can Tass of the county, at which time," he decelared, "she will name the 150 crooks." Fehl was found handling a mop in the new cell 'block, a building which resembles a modern Industrial plant, Kelly stated yesterday, except for the fact that the expansive windows are well barred. Kelly told the former county of ficial, "your attitude Is all wrong." and Leach talked to him the better part of a half hour Fehl was also bit ter against the Kiamatn counxy jury, that returned a verdict of guilty gainst him m 13 minutes. Prison officials said that Fehl's pris on pal was Roy DeAutremont, who has an adjoining ceil. ueAutremom erving life, for his confessed part in the Slaklyoua Tunnel murders and train robbery of ten years a$o. Feni Is engaged in mopping a cell diock, and has calned some weight. U A. Banks, local agitator, serving life for second degree murder, and is- soclated with Fehl in the Jackson county "uprising." greeted Kelly and Leach In a pleasant manner. They i conversed only for a minute, as Banks r wjl. en route to the dining room. The prisoner was In a Jovial a mood as his surroundings warranted, and aired no fancy grievances. Banks Is employed In the prison laundry. J. Arthur LaDieu, former business manager for Banks. Is employed In the deputy warden's office, and Is described, "as very useful, and a mod el prisoner with trusty privileges." La Dieu Is rumored as slated for a parole nex'. summer. At one time, he Is said to have gone to the local state police station, to admit his role In the bal lot thefts." but was persuaded to hold his tongue." Walter J Jones, former mayor of Rogue River, serving four years, for Tote-steallng. Is employed as a door man In the prison machine shop. Jones manifested no bitterness, and is apparently accepting prison life philo sophically. Imprisonment has not dimmed Tom L. Brecheen's interest in politics, and that is all he would talk about, whin Kelly and Leach visited him. 6ome of the democratic appointments !n this state failed to please the former i Ashland resident and he told Kelly. "we'll have to something about It." He was reading the Mail Tribune when the Jackson county officers arrived. Earl Hanscom. who was sent vp following a tragic fight out side the Eagle Point dance hall, the officers also found looking fine. Prison officials said that all the Jackson county prisoners were "be having themselves, and causing no trouble." All traffic on the Pacific highway will be halted at Mt. Sexton, eight miles north of here, Sunday after noon when state police and the Ore gon National Guard dedicate a monu ment of Southern Oregon granite to the memory of Burrell M.

They were later sentenced to life Imprisonment In the state penitentiary. On the spot where Baucom was shot down now stands the monument and a bronze plaque on which is su perimposed Baucom'a badge, his Na tional Guard battalion Insignia and an inscription worded by Superin tendent Charles Pray of the state po lice: "In memory of Burrell M. Baucom. an officer and soldier; brave of heart, sincere of purpose, and faithful to trust, who fell here July 1, 1933, In performance of duty, this tablet la Inscribed by his fellow men of the Oregon State Police and Oregon Na tional Guard."
