Them for Murder
SALEM, Ore., Aug. 24.
There is a striking contrast
in the demeanor of the three
layers convicts, Tom Mur
ray, Ellsworth Kelly and
James Willos, who shot
their way out of the Oregon
penitentiary on the evening
of August 12, and who were
returned to the prison Sat
urday and Sunday.
His capture without the
firing of a shot, and the two
nights and days he has spent
in solitary confinement in a
death cell since his return to
the big house have done
nothing to break the spirit
of Murray, and prison offi
cials said this morning, he
is apparently resigned to the
fate that he will likely hang
for the slaying of James
Sweeney and Milt H'olman
guards. Murray has not yet
displayed even a trace of
nervousness, say the guards
who have watched over him
constantly since his return.

Bridge Repair
Problem To Be
Settled Soon
County Court to Meet
With Commission
This Week
When the state highway commis
sion meets IIiIh week, two repre
sentatives of Klamath county will
meet with it to ask its cooperation
in alleviating a meDace to automo
tive travel in Klamath, namely the
Keno bridge across Klamath river.
County Judge 'Uunnell and Coun
ty Commissioner Short have left
for Salem where they will be on
hand the opening day of the com
mission meeting.
The state and the county have
locked horn- on who should finance
the repair of the bridge.
The state maintains that long be
fore the Ashland road was improved
and designated as a state highway,
the county had constructed the Keno
bridge which was known as a coun
ty brldgo.
"Once a county bridge always a
county bridge,'' Js their standard
cry. :p;'. ... f
And inasmuch as It is a county
bridge, it is obviously up to the
county to spend the money for the
repair of the span, even though the
bridge is utilized by the state high
way, they claim.
The county, through its commis
sioners, comes forth and holds that
a bridge used by the stuto whether
it was built by the county or not
is to be maintained by the state. It
Is tho traffic routed over a state
highway thai is menaced by the pre
carious condition of tho Keno bridge
and it is then up to the state high
way which has jurisdiction over
these roads, to repair the structure.
But it understood that tho county
court is willing to consider a co
operative plan by which the cost
of the Improvement would lie divid
ed. A stale highway bridge engineer
on an inspection of Klamath bridges
over a month ago adjudged the
bridge in a dangerous condition ow
ing to a concrete support that had
fallen away underneath one of the
trusses.
At that time he declared that the
county should be forced to main
tain the bridge. The court took is
sue with the state and a deadlock
between the state and the county
has been the result with the hridge
still unrepaired and heavy traffic
using Ihe span dally.
