Knight, who waa cruising off Mha California) coast aboard tha aircraft carrier Hancock, was attempting to determine whether the execiAioiv could be held up to allow Attorney George T. Davit a final desperation legal move on behalf of his client. Statement f prinajboardl State Attorney General Ed muo4 G. Crown used the Abbott death as the springboard for a tatement backing tha mora torium on th death penalty. "Rather then being a deter rent, capital punishment has given officii approval to the tajking if life under certain eircun-a)!nceo," Brown said.

O The sequence of events Friday also touched off a controversy between I vis and the governor, who labelled the attorney's ef forts "a dramatic stunt." 20 Minute Delay Davis claimed hat there was I ant level of 155 feet above sea laval. At 18 p.m. Friday Army En gineers closed spillway gates in the dam and resumed the reser voir filling that had been started last week. The Columbia river was allowed to resume its flow toward Bonneville dam and the sea early Saturday morning but was closed again at 10 p.m. yes terday to fill the reservoir to its final level. Ceremonies marking first use of The Dalles dam na vigation locks were scheduled Sunday. Canoeli Appearance Dewey Short, undersecretary of the Army who was originally scheduled to keynote the observ ance, cancelled his appearance and Brig. Gen. L. H. Foote, di vision engineer from Portland, will represent the corps. Govs. Albert Rosellini of Wash ington and Robert Holmes of Oregon were both scheduled to attend ceremonies at the locks that will lift river shipping over the dam. Last weeks' stream closure raised the reservoir level behind the dam to 130 feet from a nor mal river level of 80 feet above sea level. At that time Celilo Falls, historic Indian fishing grounds, and The Dalles-Celilo canal were inundated. Sunday the river waters covered the ar chaelological sites in Petroglyph Canyon. Scientists report that their salvage work has been com pleted and the ancient Indian petroglyphs or rock picture paintings have been preserved for posterity. Two mammoth stone petroglyphs too large to lift out of the canyon by crane said Knight. "In return he stag ed a dramatic stunt with no legal ground to stand on by waiting until the very last min ute and the appealing for still another stay of execution." Davis issued a detailed state ment of his efforts to get through to the governor and then added bitterly: "I have been informed that district attorney (Frank) Coak ley, who prosecuted Abbott, was by coincidence also aboard the Hancock and a member of the governor's party. Very, very in teresting." Knight Statement Knight also said In his state ment Friday night: "I desire to point out that in this case Burton Abbott and his attorneys had 112 days after judgement was affirmed by the State Supreme Court in which to appeal to any of the courts. All appeals were turned down." Davis called a new conference today and said: "I assume no responsibility and recent Governor Knight's indiscriminantly charging me with the blame for any time situation in the Abbott case prior to March 7, 1957, which is the first time the case was brought to my attention as an attorney." a 20 minute delay in getting were fitted on rafts at the floor through the telephone call to I of the canyon and will be floated the governor that triggered the out as the waters rise.
