Ex-Convict
living Lie
Surrenders
SEATTLE (AP) - An ex-con
vict, free from Oregon state pris
on 18 years until he gave himself
up because he was "living a lie,'
planned Tuesday to talk with an
attorney before deciding whether
to waive extradition.
Merrield M. Scofield, 56, sur
prised officers summoned to his
home here Saturday after an alt
ercation with his wife by reveal
ing his secret.
"I'll tell you the whole truth,"
he burst out. "1 am an escapee
from the Oregon state penitentiary."
He was booked as a suspected
fugitive and Oregon authorities
confirmed later that as a trusty
he walked away from an Oregon
prison farm March 1, 1942, after
serving 3'j years of a 10-year
sentence. He had been sentenced
from Umatilla County for assault
with intent to rape.
At the jail Scofield told news
men he "wanted to cooperate"
and had no objection to signing
waiver of extradition. But because
sister had obtained a attorney,
he said, he wanted to talk with
the attorney first.
Scofield had lived here the past
10 years under the assumed name
Link M. Patton, and worked as a
hospital janitor. He told his wife
his secret only about a year ago,
he said. They have a daughter, 9.
After his escape, he said, he
worked on farms near Vancouver,
Wash., and in paper mills until he
went to Ohio and worked as a ma
chinist. His present wife is his
third.
'I have read the Bible more
times than you have fingers on
your hands," he said. "But when
tried to pray, it hurt me be
cause I was living a lie."
Oregon authorities said that if
he did not sign a waiver to re
tin n voluntarily, he would be ex
tradited.

LOS ANGELES (UPD-Judee
Walter Evans today denied three
defense motions to dismiss the
prosecution case against Carole
regoff in her murder trial with
Dr. R. Bernard Finch.
Miss Tregoff's attorney, Robert
Neeb Jr., asked in two motions
for Evans to dismiss the charges
of murder and conspiracy to mur
der against the surgeon's red
haired mistress. Both are accused
of killing Finch's wife.
Neeb's third motion, based in
part on the argument that Miss
Tregoff was not represented by
an attorney when she made early
damaging statements, was a com
bined request of the first two mo
tions to dismiss the case against
her.
Finch's atlorney, Grant Cooper
asked that the conspiracy charge
also be dropped against the
doctor.
Neeb had argued that the main
evidence of conspiracy provided
by the state came from John Pat
rick Cody, admitted liar and ex-convict.
Cody had testified Finch and
Carole hired him to kill Mrs.
Finch. The defendants say it was
only to get divorce evidence on
her,
rrosecuior uinora crail was
expected to send the trial toward
its climax today by opening final
arguments aimed at putting the
surgeon and his young mistress in
the gas chamber.

Voters Of School District
To Be Asked For Levy Okay
DORRIS A decision to ask vot
ers of the Corns Elementary
School District to approve an ad
ditional tax levy of 60 cents per
$100 of assessed valuation was
made by grade school trustees at
a special meeting Monday night.
Trustee Richard Fenwick said
the school board and Principal
B. B. Fisher are finally coming
to the decision that the district
budget can no longer be stretched
to meet school district needs.
Fisher pointed out that the ele
mentary school district tax has
had no raise in 10 years and with
prices ever increasing, they could
no longer "scrape the bottom" of
the barrel. With the prospect of

less state aid funds, because of
lower average daily attendance
and shrinkage of reserve funds, he
said he could see no other choice
than to ask approval of a higher
tax in a special school tax election
which could be called 60 days aft
er formal notice.
The 60 cents, he said, would
raise some $12,000 and would be
in addition to the current tax rate
of 90 cents plus six cents for re
tirement and other benefits and
24 cents for bond interest and re
tirement, a total of $1.20. If ap
proved, the total elementary school
tax would be $1.80, just 50 per cent
more than the present tax.
Fisher said the drop in the Dor
ris school's average daily atten
dance of between 25 and 30 in the
past year has cut the amount of
state aid received under the ADA
formula. For the 1958-59 school
year, local taxes produced $18,572,
27 per cent of the school's in
come, while the state aid was
$48,112 or 72 per cent.
Of state aid 95.7 per cent was
used for teachers' salaries. Aver
age salary per teacher for this
year is $4,816, and for the state
$5,996. The Dorris district is rat
ed as "impoverished" because lo
cal property taxes provide only a
little over one-quarter of its in
come.
Teacher salaries account for
about 75 per cent of the district's
budget, $77,732 for the current
year, and operation of the school
plant, 12 per cent, the next highest
portion of the budget, Fisher said.
Other school taxes paid locally
are $1.46 for the Butte Valley High
School plus 36 cents for bonds, and
35 cents for the College of the
Siskiyous.

'Deaf Mute'

DETROIT (AP) - When police

deaf. Then they learned she wasn't
mute. Monday they learned she

The 22-year-old jail inmate is
Patricia Hoyt Dewar, mother of
an 18-month-old child, and daught
er of suburban Algonac Justice of
the Peace Walter R. Hoyt.
She was arrested last Friday in
nearby Mount Clemens for investi
gation of breaking and entering.
She claimed she came here from
San Diego, Calif., and scribbled
notes admitting 11 home riflings
since Feb. 10. police said. Her dis-
guise crumbled when she declined
a cigarette in a normal voice.

Circuit Judge David R. Vanden

Kerr and said, "I would like the
court to show what leniency it
can."
When asked if he had any state
ment to make before sentence was
