concluded in Minnesota. This is the
story related by State Police Sgt.
Bill Hazlewood:
Cliflord Kocnig. of Salem, an em
ploye of the traffic division of the
State Highway Department, lound
Ihe unusual cache in a litter bar
rel along Highway 97 five miles
south of Sand Creek.
Koenig alerted stale police and
waited until an officer came. They
examined their find, which includ
ed two brief cases filled mostly
with neat files of letters addressed
lo Easton and written by credit
managers of some of the nation's
swankiest hotels.
They all wanted Easlon to pay
his bills or rather pay them
again with good checks.
One file requested Easton to
please make good a $1,400 bill for
renting a yacht, and paying cater
er's and orchestra fees.
In addition to the brief cases
filled with this intriguing material,
Koenig had found boxes of clothing
that included three or four pairs of
expensive slacks, suits, a topcoat,
30 handkerchiefs and the 25 or
more ties.
Hazlewood said (he lind, appar
ently deposited by Easton in an
attempt to conceal identity, was re
turned to state police headquarters
here. That was Tuesday.
That evening Officer William
Rand heard Easton's name on a
police broadcast from Eugene. Eas
ton, it said, was wanted in Santa
Monica, California, for jumping
$10,000 bond on a forgery charge.
His car was described.
Thinking Easlon may have been
in Klamath Falls, police began
looking for him. About 9 that night
they found his car in a downtown
filling station. But no Easton.
The station attendant said Eas
ton had been there all right, but
had paid him to drive him to the
airport that day. At the airport
West Coast Airlines officials said
Easton had boarded a plane for
Portland.
But he didn't get off at Portland,
instead made arrangements (by
check) to fly on to Sealtle-Tacoma.
Police there were alerted, but Eas
ton wasn t found. It was learned,
however, that he had flown on to
Detroit.
Detroit was alerted, but that's
about all that was heard of Eas
ton until police in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, reported his arrest
Thursday night.
Today, Hazlewood said. Easton
was on his way back to California
with a lot of explanations in his
future. .
