that Waley did not work for the

Clguret Case I mining
It was a 20-cent cigaret case
which led to the breakdown of the
kidnapers "air-tight" scheme for
getting rid of the ransom bank
notes. Edythe Morley, 24, and Mar
lon Samuel, 10, attractive clerks
in the chain store where Mnrgaret
Waley was picked up, revealed the
dime store climax of the 9200,000
kidnaping.
The women, hatless, and In a
housa dress, calmly handed the 95
bill to Miss Morley In pnymeut for
the case. With hardly a glance at
the bill, Miss Morley hiuidcd the
money to Miss Samuel, Who took
It to the cashier where It was
Identified. A few minutes later the
customer was In the hands of Jus

"I got It at Kress's yesterday,"
the woman answered when asked by
Officer Rogers where she got the
money.
'She didn't seem a bit excited,"
said one of the girls.

vlction of the slaying of Victor

been made. The petition, asking
Governor Martin to grant a pardon

will be filed by the district attor
ney. A similar request was filed last

errors at law of the court.

officer of Ashland and only eye

tify ' the slayer, immediately follow
ing the crime, but positively identi
fied Reed at the trial. Affidavits
of Moore Hamilton, of this city,
and Aubrey Miles, Harry Btevenson,
T. E. Patterson, and Charles Wimcr
of Ashland, are quoted, alleging that
Layman told them he could make
no identification.
The affidavits of Miss Leona Ahl
strom and Ruy Murphy of Ashland,
holding that Reed was at a ham
burger stand, a half mile from the
scene of the crime, at the time oi
Its occurrence, are presented.
The asserted acta of a woman
Juror, in visiting the scene of the
crime, and Journeying In an auto
from Klamath Junction to tho mur
der spot, to determine the time
required for the trip, are presented.
Admission by the court of evi
dence of a burglary In California
is also given as grounds for par
don. '
Reed was convicted March 1. 1032.
He contended In his trial that his
traveling companions, Paul McQimde
and Lee Jackson, Indicted for the
samo crime, but unapprehended, com
mlted the murder while he tReed)

As late as two weeks ago, neigh
bors said, a man and a woman,

together with two men and a small
girl named "Wanda" had been there.
One of the men, they said, "looked
to be about 21 years old." He was
tall and blond, and In a general
way answered the description of
Harmon Waley, who was arrested at
Salt Lake In connection with the
kidnaping. The woman could have
been Mrs. Waley.
The third man. the neighbors
said, was tall and dark, and ap
peared to be about 35 years old.
He could have been William Mahan.
who la sought near Butte, Mont..
as an accomplice in the kidnaping.
The younger couple and the little
girl, the neighbors said, stayed at
the house sometimes during the day,
and the girl, Wanda, played witn
neighboring children.
The neighbors said several visitors
came during the night.
"We noticed them because they
made a mistaken when they would
drive In the alley to the garage,
and would turn in our yard." they
said. "Then they would have to
turn around again."
They said they were not suspic
ious, and "never dreamed that that
little boy" was held prisoner next
door to them."
The house. In one of the older
residential districts of the city, is
surrounded by rather old, middle
class and smaller homes. The kid
nap house, which originally was
painted brown, but now Is shaded
with -gray, is flanked by homes ot
laboring people. The "hideaway"
house gives all the appearance of
having been vacant, and poltee ex

could see people going In and out
without reporting to them.

As.. '
DR. FRANK B. ROBINSON
A new and revolutionary religioui
teaching based entirely on the mis
understood sayings of the Galilean
Carpenter, and designed to show
how we may rind, understand and
use the same identical power which
Jesus used in performing His so
called Miracles, is attracting world
wide attention to its founder, Dr.
Frank B. Robinson, noted psycholo
gist, author and lecturer.
"Psychiana." this new psychologi
cal religion, believes and teaches
that it is today possible for every
normal human being, understanding
spiritual law as Christ understood
it, to duplicate every work that the
Carpenter of Galilee ever did it be
lieves and teaches that when He
said, "the things that I do shall ye
do also." He meant what He said
and meant it literally to all man
kind, through all the ages.
Dr. Robinson has prepared a 6000
word treatise on "Psychiana," in
which he tells about his long search
for the Truth, how he finally came
to the full realization of an Unseen
Power or force so dynamic in itself
that all other powers and forces
fade into insignificance beside it
how he learned to commune direct
ly with the Living God, using this
mighty, never-failing power to dem
onstrate health, happiness and fin
ancial success, and how any normal
being may lind and use it as Jesus
did. He is now offering this treatise
free to every reader of this paper
who writes him.
If you want to rend this highly in
teresting, revolutionary and fascinat
ing story of tho discovery of a groat
Truth, Just send your name and ad
dress to Dr. Frank B. Hobinson. 127
