Hastings told it ' at'er an ubortlve 5C-liour prison break ended fur him Saturday with his capture in the mountains north of Boise. Haslings said he had decided that if he failed In the escape at tempt he would confess and ask for the death penally. He said he was unable to shake off the spec tre of the murdered man while he shivered hi Uie woods, scores of policemen closmg In on him. Warden L. E.

The comment which brought the most response during the meeting came from County Commissioner Jerry Rajnus, who offered his hope for eventual promotion of a tax which could replace such drives. It was pointed out that taxation would increase costs of maintaining the charitable agen cies: would decrease the amount of devotional service given by vol unteers and would be contrary to Americans' right lo give voluntar ily.

Vanden berg took action late Tuesday af ternoon in the stalled criminal case against Andrew H. Bushman, 54-year-old alleged sex oifender. who has been in the county Jail for months and was Indicted three times by the grand jury. Bushman was brought before Judge Vandenberg: tor arraign ment on the latest indictment. The court appointed George Proctor lo defend Bushman and set Monday at 10 a.m. for entry of a plea. It Is expected at that time that District Attorney Frank Alderson will file a motion for a change -if Ji.dge. This has been his proce dure in all recent criminal cases. Alderson said Wedresdav thf.t when he returned to his office after two week's vacation Monday ne understood that Judge Vandenberg had disqualified himself in. the Bushman case. "I became aware this was not the case," Alderson added, "when my office received word from the state supreme court that the judge lied not t a lien such action." Bushman was originally indict ed on a charge of sodomy. The first indictment was dismissed bs-i cause it was defective. Bushman was then indicted a second time un the same charge. Then Alderson filed a motion to disqualify Judge Vandenberg to preside in the case. The supreme court appointed Judge Ralph M. Holman of Oregon City to try Bushman. Then Defense Attorney Joe O'Neill, who had been appoint ed by Judge Vandenberg, filed a motion for a judge to supplant Holman. Judge Charles Foster of Lakeview was named in place of Judge Holman. Two weeks ago at the request of the district attorney's office. Judge Holman dismissed the second sod omy indictment. The case was again taken before the grand jury pnd Bushman was indicted for the third time. The charge this time was contributing to the delinquen cy of a minor. When the second indictment was dismissed, both Judge Holman and Attorney O'Neill were automatical ly' eliminated from the case. Attorney Proctor refused to com ment on the case Wednesday.
