Two Men, Woman Face
Oregon Death Chamber
SALEM (AP) Two men and
a woman now face death in Ore
gon's gas chamber.
That total doesn't set a record.
But Jeannace June Freeman, sen
tenced' at Madras for the slaying
of 6-year-old Larry Jackson, is
the first of her sex to be sen
tenced to die.
LoRoy Sanford McGahuey.
Jackson County logger who killed
a woman, is now on death row.
Larry West Shipley was convicted
at Newport Monday for slaying a
young girl.
In 1956. there were three men
on death row, but the sentences
of all were commuted.
They are George F. Sack, Port
land, who killed , his wife; and
two Jackson County slayers, Billy
Junior Nunn and James Norman
Jensen.
Nunn killed a 14-year-old boy,
and Jensen killed a woman dur
ing a house burglary. i
But in 1952, there were four on
death row at once.
Since the prison started execut
ing in 1903, there have been 85
persons received on death row,
Only 57 of them were executed.
'' There were 40 hangings. In 1937,
- the gas chamber replaced the
gallows. There have been 17 killed
- by gas.
' There was a triple hanging Dec.
-.' 13, 1912.
1; But the gas chamber can seat
only one person at a time. When
two persons are sentenced to be
gassed on the same day, one fol
- lows about an how! after the
- other.
Two men were gassed on the
night of Jan. 9, 1053. They were
' two Portlanders, Morris 1 Leland
and Frank O. Payne.
.. Leland killed a 15-ycar-old high
school girl, and Payne lulled a
. grocer in a holdup.
Then, 14 days later, Albert W.
. Karnes paid with his life for the
." slaiyne of an old lady in Salem.
No'one has died in the chamber
'r- since Karnes. 1
; Warden Clarence Gladden took
over his job three months after
Karnes died.
. Gladden opposes capital punish-
mcnt. tie says it is unfair, argu
"' ing that the ones who die often
'. are people who can't afford to
! hire good lawyers. . .
'. The three people now awaUng'
: ' death will get automatic appeals
to cne supreme ujuri.;
'' If the court upholds file death
t ' sentences, then the pressure will
be on Gov. Mark 0. Hatfield to
commute the sentences.
' ' Hatfield agrees with Gladden
MBMORABLD
lEillB

To Write Column
that capital punishment should be
abolished.
But he says he would not let
his personal feelings interfere
with actions of a court or jury.
Hatfield says the largest num.
ber of those who are sentenced
to die are from the lower income
brackets.
And he says the death penalty
is too final, not taking into "ac
count the possibility of human
error, .and there is no room for
flexibility.
"However, I want to make It
perfectly clear that I will uphold
the Oregon law which provides
for capital punishment.
He says he would commute a
sentence only if there were new
evidence, or irregularity or error
in the judicial proceedings.
When Miss Freeman comes
here, she will be placed in a pri
vate room in the women's quar
ters. Gladden says there are no
facilities for a woman on death
row.

CLYDE'S WIFE
Dear Wife: Personal attention

It gets too personal it can be
bad for business, and also bad

alcohol and gasoline.
Dear Ann Landers: Since re
turning from a month's vacation
I've been depressed. Does every
one get post-vacation blues or does
coming back to this miserable
town have something to do with
it? Perhaps the real reason for
this depression is I just celebrated
? my 33rd birthday.
I enjoy my work, but the so
cial side of my existence is
sterile. Please don't suggest that
I join clubs. I m not the clubby
type. And if you say "get in
terested in politics I'll scream.
This letter is from Washington,
D. C, and I work in the gov
ernment which means eating,
sleeping and dreaming politics.
Should I transfer to a job over
seas? I loved Europe and the
people. The romantic possibilities
there seemed limitless. What do
you say? Am I cracked? D.C,
DROOP
Dear D.C: You're not cracked.
You're bored. A vacation spot Is
always more glamorous than the
working terrain but since you
seem to have fallen in love with
Europe I suggest you transfer for
a year and see If the s b I n e
wears off.
From the tone of your letter
you have little to lose. Your
passport doesn't even have to be
renewed.

This group will now take
another examination, lasting three
hours, on Dec. 2. Those whose
scores bear out the promise of
their first examination scores
will become finalists.
In April, the scholarship
winners will be named. They will
have four-year college awards,
ranging from $100 for -those who
have adequate financial support,
average M00.
John M. Stalnaker, president of
the non-profit corporation handing
the scholarship program, said the
total number of awards would
depend on the support the
program gets. Since 1955, nearly
5,000 students have received
financial aid.
