Writ For Convict
Is Turned Down
By Circuit Judge
Pendleton OP) Circuit
Judge William Wells, in a memo
randum opinion issued Saturday
rejected a petition for a writ of
coram nobis filed by convicted
kidnaper Leonard Ellsworth Mil
ler. The petition, prepared by the
state prison inmate himself, was
patterned after a similar legal
technique used by famed Califor
nia convict Caryl Chessman in
San Quentin. A writ of coram
nobis is an English common law
instrument rarely asked in Am
erican jurisdictions.
Not Comparable
Judge Wells rejected the pe
tition which asked that a court
transcript of the Miller case be
thrown out as incomplete. Judge
Wells said the petition was not
based on fact and the case was
not comparable to that of Chess
man. Miller, in 1953, kidnaped an
Oregon state policeman at gun
point, drove him to McKai res
ervoir, handcuffed him to his
patrol car and abandoned him
there. He and his accomplices
were later arrested at Yakima,
Wash. He was sentenced at Pen
dleton by Judge Wells to 25
years in the penitentiary.
Miller was among those con
victs who escaped recently from
Marion county circuit court in
Salem during a court hearing.
His freedom was short-lived.

Budget Trimmed
For Welfare Dept.
Portland HP) The Oregon
State Welfare Commission meet
ing here Friday adopted a new
budget for the next two years,
incorporating increased federal
funds but heralding a period of
austerity in commission spend
ing.. . .
The 1957-1959 budget includ
ed an increase of $3,041,860 m
federal matching funds for a to
tal of $78,121,353. But only 48
per cent of the total will be
spent during the first year of
the biennium. The commission
agreed to set aside a one per
cent emergency fund as a cush
ion against an economic reces
sion during the second year.
Commission Chairman J. H
Luihn said "we have never been
as tight as this before." He
agreed with the majority of the
commission the usual 49 per
cent allocation for the first year
would leave too small a reserve
for unexpected emergencies.
Immediate result of the new
budget policy will be a cutback
of $100,000 in the amount rec
ommended by the staff for allo
cation to counties during the
second quarter of operations.

No Ballot Taken
-
In Confidential
Jury Trial Yet
Hollywood (IP) The fore
man of the jury in the Confi
dential magazine criminal libel
trial told the presiding judge
Saturday the jurors still were
wading through the mass of evi
dence and have not yet taken
a formal ballot.
The seasational trial has been
in progress for the last eight
weeks, and the jury has been
deliberating for the past 12
days.
However, one of the jurors
indicated at a special court ses
sion called by presiding Judge
Terbert V. Walker Saturday af
ternoon that the jury may have
taken a test vote. Laguerre Drou
et asked the judge, "could I send
you a little note in private so
both attorneys can see it?"
Walker replied that he could
not communicate in private with
any individual juror, whereup
on, Drouet said, "does a test
vote, your Honor, implicate any
thing?" Jury To Resume
Following this, Walker order
ed the jurors' to return to the
deliberation room and resume
work. The panel then deliberat
ed until 4:45 p.m. and was lock
ed up for the night. It will re
sume its task around 9 a.m. on
Monday, spending tomorrow
resting in and around their hotel.
When the jury first appeared
in the courtroom, Walker asked
Foreman Fred L. McCulleyn to
iell the court how the jury
stood numerically without in
dicating the lineup of -the op
posing sides.
McCulleyn, a retired railroad
dispatcher, replied "we have not
taken a formal vote as yet, your
Honor." ' '
Still Sifting
McCulleyn explained the jury
still was sifting the mass of testi
mony and evidence, adding, "we
are doing everything possible to
reach a verdict as fast as we
possibly can." ,
The Confidential jury is cer
tain to establish an all-time rec
ord for length of deliberations
in a criminal case in Los Ang
eles county and possibly in Cal
ifornia. The previous record of
13 days of deliberations was es
tablished by a superior court
