cause as president of the organlca
tlon of practically three quarters of

when he will arrive and the length
of his stay In Medford. His appear
ance here will attract members ot
the order from all over southern Ore

a public address during the day,
covering those matters in which the
fraternal order is vitally Interested,
which - include workmen's compensa
tion, mother's compensation, old age
pension laws, and the stabilization
of employment.
It la the hope of President Ban
well that all commercial and fra-
al organizations in southern Ore
gon will co-operate wun ine locai
Eagles in order to make the visit of
President Douglas to Medford one of
the high spots in his trip through
out the west.

prehended, and are fugitives from
Justice now.
Affidavits of two members of the
Jury that found Reed guilty Oeorge
A. Porter and Charles S. Butterfleld
are also embodied In the protest.
The affidavits state on the first bal
lot. Reed waa found guilty, but the
long deliberations were concerned
with whether to vote the death pen
alty or life Imprisonment.
Photographs of the murder spot,
and the statement of the court, In
denying a new trial, are also part of
the protest.
. The brief also submits a number
of affidavits from residents of Ash
land, in contradiction to affidavits
by the defense.
The petition for clemency bitterly
attacks the positive Identification of
Reed, by Roy Laymon, Ashland po
liceman, with Knott at the time of
his slaying. "No one, as far as can
be learned, ever questioned his ver
acity or character, save counsel for
Red,N the protest says.
Reed's counsel has affidavits, from
Ashland residents and Moore Hamil
ton of this city, averring that Lay
mon told them, shortly after the
murder, he could not Identify the
slayer, but testified at the trial pos
itively Identifying Reed.
Reed claims that at the time of
the murder, he was in a hamburger
stand, half a mite from the scene,
and Introduces affidavits of two Ash
land residents In support of this con
tention. Reed admits he travelled In
an auto, from Denver with Jackson
and McQuade, but parted from them
upon arrival at Ashland. j
Knott waa slain, when with Lay-!
mon, he was riding' In a police car
netir the lenders warehouse, they saw
two men, and commanded itu-tn to
halt, for questioning. TM pair stood
in the glare of the headlights, and a
hall of lead greeted the second query
of the officers.
Reed, In his petition, claims that
he spent the night of the murder In
f. rooming house near the Plaza in
Asniana, ana mac ne viaitea ine po
lice station when the news of the
murder was spread. The next morn
ing, he says, he left for the north.
The morning following the killing,
state police found Reed's auto wreck
ed near Foots Creek. Evidence found
in it resulted In Reed's arrest at
Longmont, Colo., on Christmas eve,
1031.
The protest to leniency, cites that
the murder of Knott, 'was one of
the three brutal and cowardly mur
ders of peace officers In this county
in recent years." and further declares,
"Reed la not entitled to either com
mutation of sentence or pardon .H
The petition for clemency Is based
upon the 'grounds of new evidence,
