Prisoner Tells of
Rancher s Death
Fiank Wllliuin-i will not be lileil fop the murder of Allen C. McLeod
near .Midland, August ":!. Today he enteied a (ilea of gullly to second
ileal ee murder.
He tins sentenced by CJicnlt Judge George Xoland lo spend the rest
of bis natural life in the Oregon penitentiary.
A lai'Ku crotwl of s-poctatoi-s packed the courthouse long before the
pii-ouep uns brought in. His attorney, V. H. A. Ilenuer, stated that
I i ilient uns leady to plead guilty lo a second degree murder charge,
rut to out charging premeditation.
District Attorney Joliri Iruln uiiiiounced l bat as the death penalty
u.is abolished, Ihcru uns no diiTercnce in the tlrst and secoud degree
sentences', ami lie hold I hat nothing could he gained by trying a first de
liite eliiuge, i-utniling mure expeitse fur Klauitilh county, so in behalt
i.f tlie stale, he said u seioud degree rerdirl would be acceptable; proTld
lug siateiiienu he niiide for recoid in ease ihe matter comes before a par.
don hoard at u later date.
The piisouer uns then asked to plead. He plentl guilty lo seeoBO
degree uiunler.
I'ollowiui; Ihik, l)i-tiict Attorney Irwin made u stnteiuent of the
ensit as viewed from the angle of the stale. He introduced a number of
photographs of the .scene of the crime, In addition to his talk.

"This shou.s," he wild "that John Iiuin has risen far above the com

whole county ought to appreciate this real principle he lias shown."
In his talk in behalf of the prisoner, Itcnner held that the two were
close friends, tiuit Williams worked for McLeod and that the latter
owed him money which he could not collect. He read a statement writ
ten h) WHIIams, in which ho said that after they had had hot words
about tho debt, Mclicod hit Williams on the head with n beer bottle,
and Ihe two began lighting.
Williams says he was besting Mel. cod in a list light, when the latter
em him several times with a knife. Williams then, according to Ma
