MEDFORD "MAIL TOTBHSTE. "MDFORD. OHF.OOr. TTTSD'AY. .TCLY 2. 193,1. THREE E BY OF LATER (Continued from Pags One) "Dear Mr. Newbury: "I have before me your application for a pardon on behalf of Albert W. Reed, who was convicted In the cir cuit court of Jackson count, Oregon, on March 1, 1032. of second degree murder, and la now serving & life term In the Oregon state peniten tiary. "I have attentively considered all of the matters presented by you at the hearing last Thursday. June 27, and have also carefully examined the voluminous file on this subject, in cluding the motion for new trial pre sented by you to Circuit Judge Nor ton In this case: your brief on the motion for new trial; the 'resistance to motion for new trial presented to Judge Norton by District Attorney George Codding, of Jackson county; the affidavits submitted by you to Judge Norton In answer to the affi davits of the district attorney: the statement of Judge Norton at' the time of passing sentence upon Mr. Reed; and the letter by District At torney Codding to Oovernor Meier, dater December 14, 1034. "I also have examined the blue prints and maps of the territory in which the murder of Victor Knott was committed in A5hland. Ore., on November 19, 1931. Finally. I had Albert W. Reed appear before me In my office and questioned him fully about thin entire matter. "An examination of the papers in this case discloses that substantially aJt of the evidentiary matters being railed to my attention have been previously passed upon by the trial judge, Hon. H. D. Norton, one of the ablest circuit Judges in this state, who has had a long and honorable career at the bar and on the bench, and by my predecessor. Governor Julius l. Meier. "As attorney for Albert W. Heed, .you have urged upon my consider ation certain evidence tending to show that Mr. Reed was t a ham burger stand approximately 1700 feet from the place of the shooting at the approximate time when the murder occurred. Interpreting this evidence most favorably to the defendant. I m unable to see that it absolves Reed from responsibility for this mur der. Reed admits that, with bis full knowledge, his companions. Paul Mc Quade and Lee Jackson, had bur glarized a store In California. He aided them In bringing the fruits of their crime Into the state of Oregon in his own car. As stated by the learned trial Judge: "'When he (Reed) came into the state of Oregon the first thing he commuted was a felony by concealing stolen goods.' "At the same time he assisted his companions in concealing from the officers two .45 Colt automatic re volvers. As pointed out by Julge Nor ton, this was likewise a felony. In his hearing before me Mr. Reed ad mitted that a portion of the stolen goods .was concealed In his own suit case. Finally, I cannot overlook the fact that the defendant, after he knew that the crime hnd been com mitted, presumably by his former companions, failed to aid the authori ties In their apprehension; but, on the other hand, showed considerable Ingenuity in perfecting his own es cape from the scene. "Reed Is a fine appearing young man, and I am informed had a brief but honorable record in the United States army. I can hardly believe that he fired the fatal shots that killed Victor Knott. The situation that developed, however, demon strates the danger of an unemployed person roaming about the country, particularly with evil associates. "Prom a legal standpoint there was certainly evidence from which the trial court and Jury might well find that the defendant, Reed, was en gaged in the furtherance of a com mon criminal design, having as his associate McQuade and Jarkson. If such was the case, even if Reed did not actualyy participate in the kill ing and was at the hamburger stand at the time of the murder, he is chargeable equally with the actual as sailants. "In view of the youth of the de dendant.and due to the fact that he has had no criminal record, It may be that a commutation of his sen tence will be given at a later date. This will depend entirely upon the conduct of Repd in the penitentiary and whether or not he demonstrate complete reformation and ability to keep out of further difficulties in event of his sub.equent release: I, acordlngly. suggest that he avail him self of the facility of the reading courses furnished by the Oregou state library and the correspondence courses given by the University of Oregon for Inmates of our state penitentiary."

I'LL IT'S THE TOBACCO THAT COUNTS are no finer tobaccos than those used in Luckies (Continued from Page One) I fm-M Mr Prxwewlt' walth-taxlne nro gram was submitted to congress. No refunds are allowed by the national committee. The new assistant commerce secre tary. James. Monroe Johnson, called his office stafr together for a pri vate meeting aftr he took office. He told his workers: "Thts is the way I am flolng- to work. While -a policy is being form ed, I shall expect all of you to light like hell for your respective Ideas. But once I have adopted a policy, any further disagreement will be In subordination and you know what that meons." The men cheered. Note: This la essentially the same policy on which President Roosevelt works. The official excuse for tills new legislation preventing gold suits against the government la that th President merely wanted to get the matter cleared up before congress ad journed. New deal authorities con tend it la a routine step, but there may be more behind It than tht. If you look tip the figure you will find that the Amount of gold bonds outstanding on which Interest had ceased last May 31. was about 130, 000.000. This Includes some 30.000, 000 of old Issues called prior to the supreme court gold decision. The largest block, however. Is $100,000, 000 of Liberty's, called between April. 1934. and April. 1935. Apparently some people have been holding out their allied gold bond, forfeiting the interest. In hopes of ultimately getting full gold value. Th new legislation will make such action futile.
