"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."

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.
