A pica for leniency hy District At
torney E, h. Elliott because of the
phynlral condition of !h ' prisoner,
waa apparontly disregarded by the
court, which dealt out a icvere pen
ally for the crime committed.
District Attorney Elliott produced
a signed statement from Dr. fjeorga
It. Bart and County Health Officer
Newsom which" net forth that Owens
was suffering from tuberculosis, and
that both lungs were affected. But
the two physicians did not make any
r .-commendation that the prisoner
be not confined in the fctate. peniten
tiary.' They held, however, that un
less Owons was confined in a place
where he could secure proper medical
care, hts sickness might result fa
tally in a short time.
Pleads for Leniency
"In view of these ctrcuinstnnees,
I feel that the court should consider
the defendant leniently In passing
sentence," Mr. Elliott declared.
From the sheriff and district ot-
i lornoy under whom he once worked.
I have fine reports of his character."
Mr. Elliott read the communica
; tions from Owens' former employers
! to the court.
."His conduct since he has been
; in the custody of the sheriff here
I has been exemplary, as the sheriff
will undoubtedly inform the court,"
Ignores Plea
In passing sentence upon the de
fendant, the court made no reference
' in his talk, to the alleged poor phy
; sieal condition of the prisoner.
"I can either send you to the
; penitentiary for one to ttve years;
or fine you from $50 to $100; or
have you confined in the county ;nil
i from one month to one year," JticVe
; Leavitt said.
"The court is at a loss ro knov
just how the law !-houid be corsid
oretf. At all events, it is the .--.'it-
tence of the law and the judgment
of the court. Owens, that you by

on Lost river, eight miles south of Klamath Falls, while.
Jones, McAboy and Roger Torrey were quail hunting.
Circumstances of the accident as recounted by Torrey
were as follows:
The three young men were hunting in the sage brush
on the Latta ranch when a single quail flushed. Jones
swung his gun onto the fast flying little bird and scored
ii square hit. The three hunters were looking toward the
fallen bird, while little Walter West

Suddenly another quail flushed
on the opposite side from where
the first had llo-.vn up. its night

brush which surrounded the hunterj.

MiAboy started to swing ajs gun

saund" of whirring wings,Uie' bird
to be. When the gun, . in the half
swing, became trained upon1 Jones,
it went off, and tho heavy Iml of
shot struck Jones In the buck of the
head.
"I wasn't looking t.iward Jones
when ho was struek. But I heard
him say 'Hey!' Just as McAboy's gun
went off and his hand was pointed
to where the quail had flushed from
I thought that he had shot
the quail. The next time I looke
he was on the gronnd.
