Keeps Gun at
Head of Attorney
Phoenix, Ariz. - IUPI - Two
men were seconds from death
Thursday. One a hostage -the
other the embittered man
with an injured back who
held the pistol.
For 12 '.-2 hours an unem
ployed steamfitter held a gun
to the head of an attorney. At
the same time, an expert rifle
man was poised-ready to end
the life of Charles E. Milii
gan, the steamfitter.
But death was made unnec
essary when two cunning po
licemen posing as reporters
overpowered the stocky 50-year-old
steamfitter.
A hearing Into Milligan'j
industrial compensation case
was just getting started when
he pulled , the gun from a
small box.
Grabbed for Gun
His attorney, Stephen Go
rcy, shouted "No, no, Milli
gan." Gorey grabbed for the gun,
but the floors were slippery
and he staggered. The gun
went off. The next thing Go
rey remembered, he was lying
on the floor. He had been shot
in the left thigh.
Milligan allowed him to be
taken to a hospital but forced
the other six in the room lo
remain to conduct a hearing
into his case.
Police could have killed
Milligan any time they chose.
But they were afraid the gun
he held next to the head of
Attorney D. J. . Morgan Jr.
may have discharged on a dy
ing reflex.
Detectives Earl Moore and
Don Rodriguez went into the
room posing as newsmen, Mil
ligan finally allowed the five
hostages to go, but kept
his pistol against the head of
the courageous Morgan,
Began Questioning
Rodriguez and Moore were
unarmed. Rodriguez began to
question Milligan as if he
were a reporter.
During the conversation,
Milligan pointed the gun at
Moore while reaching for a
glass of water. Rodriguez
grabbed the stcainfitter's
right arm and forced it down
and Moore joined the struggle
to subdue him. One shot was
fired before Milligan was
handcuffed and hustled from
the third floor chamber.
He was charged with as
sault with a deadly weapon.
Morgan was not allowed to
move during the hours of con
fused testimony forced by
Milligan.
"For 1 2 1 i hours I have
been watching that clock,"
said the relieved attorney. "I
have heard the expression
'under the gun.' Now 1 know
what it means."
Never Saw Gun
He said he never saw the
gun, but felt it during the tes
timony and reference to rec
ords of Milligan's bark Injury
suffered in the building of
Glen Canyon dam.
Compensation for Milligan
had been stopped and he re
cently picketed the office
building in protest. At the
hearing, he was asking for re
instatement of compensation
and for a back operation.

Enforcement of
1858 Water Right
Perils Linn Farms
Brownsville -IUPD- The en
forcement of an 1858 Cala
pooya river water right by a
flour mill here has caused the
closure of irrigation pipes for
several farms in this Linn
county area.
Nelson Janes of the Browns
ville AltaVista bean yard said
the water stoppage could
mean a loss of over $100,000.
Assistant State Engineer
George Naderman said the
mill can enforce its right be
cause of developed priority
when it established the right
in 1858. The water is being
shut off to farms in order of
their priority.
Farmers' arranged a meet
ing on the situation with Or
val Thompson, attorney for
the Thompson flour mill.
State Water Master Floyd
Siegmund began shutting oft
water for irrigation Tuesday
after the mill claimed its flow
of water was insufficient. The
mill's rights allow it to take
35 cubic feet of water a sec
ond from the river.
Siegmund told farmers the
state is stopping irrigation as
fast as possible because the
river is too low for the mill's
electric generators to operate.
In past years the Calapooya
irrigation district, formed by
farmers, has made an agree
ment to help the mill pay for
commercial electricity if the
river runs low. The district
was unable to explain why no
agreement was made this
year.

Mundt Says Esies
Had Man Friday ,
In Agriculture
Washington -IUPK- Sen. Karl
E. Mundt (R-S.D.) said today
testimony shows Billie Sol
Estes had "a man Friday in
the Department nf Agricul
ture." But Sen. Edmund S.
Muskie (D-Maine) cautioned
against "premature" judg
ments in the case.
The. two members oT the
Senate investigations subcom
mittee stated their views ns
the panel scheduled further
testimony on Estes' cotton al
lotment transfers. No wit
nesses were announced.
Approval Urged
Mundt's comments were oc
casioned by testimony Thurs
day about a memo, prepared
about Jan. 24. 1962, which
recommended that the depart
ment, ill effect, approve Estes'
disputed 1961 cotton allotment
transfers and give him allot
ments for the 1862 crop year.
Joseph A. Moss, head of the
department's cotton division,
testified that he gave some
"technical advice'' for the
memo although he disagreed
with its recommendations.
'Significant' Testimony
He testified thai it was writ
ten by Emery E. (Red) Jacobs,
who resigned his post in the
department under charges
that he took expensive gills
from Estes.
Mundt called the testimony
on the document "some nf the
most significant" heard in the
long inquiry. He said, how
ever, that he is not sure that
its preparation was as des
cribed. He suggested that some
"mystery man" in the depart
ment may have given orders
for its drafting.
"It is evident." said Mundt.
"that Billie Sol Estes had a
man Friday in the Depart
ment of Agriculture who ex
ercised a lot of authority '
Questioned Closely
Muskie questioned Moss
closely Thursday about what
happened after the memo was
written. He stressed that the
department a week later re
quired a certification from
Estes and certain other farm
ers that their allotment trans
fers were bona fide, lie drew
from Moss the statement that
- as far as Moss knew - the
proposals in the memo were
made only by Jacobs.
