Victims of Murder and Shooting Tragedy Discovered
By Daughter of Slain Woman Lying Close Together
On Back Porch of City Residence
Enactment of a double tragedy in which Mr Fred NeiT
of Ashland, member of a prominent Klamath family, was
shot to death and Ray Jillson, believed to be her murderer,
died from a self inflicted bullet, occurred at one o'clock yes
terday afternoon in the Neil residence in Ashland, according
to Ashland police. Jillson, 34, a member of a prominent
Jackson county family, after sending four bullets through
Mrs. Neil's body then turned the gun on himself, death com
ing instantly.
Mrs. Neil was shot four timet with a .38 Wesson revolver
and from the effects of the bullets it is estimated by the pol
ice that the two could not have been separated more than
three feet when the shots were fired.
Three of the shots entered the body of Mrs. Neil, two
shots, either of which would have proved fatal. ..The first
shot entered the left breast above the heart and the second
shot about an inch below the right ear.
The bodiet of the two were not found until late in the
afternoon when Jean, the eight-year-old daughter of the
Neil family returned from school and discovered, lying half
way through the door leading from the kitchen to the back
porch, the bodies of her mother and Jillson.

Air Chief Assertion That

WASHINGTON. Nov. II (United
News) Col. William Mitchell has
presented his Justifications for what
Is generally conceded to be the
chief point in his denunciations of
the army and navy departments
his charge that the administration
of the nation's air service has been
"almost treasonable."
With foreign nations hovering In
the offing, eager to do what Uncle
hers of the two families was as
certained by the police to have oc
curred shortly after one o'clock.
Physicians made an examination
of the bodies at the home and de

(U. N.) "Wa had a most de

American countries, a project ad
mittedly vital to proper defense of
the Panama canal.
That Is Mitchell's answer to the
call, by the government for proof
of his charges. It was given Thurs
day through MaJ. Raycroft Walsh in
the office of the chief of the army
air service, the man who ln Febru
ary, 1924, after making a "courtesy
flight" through Central America
proposed to charter the air mail
route and since has found the war
department unwilling to approve the
proposal.
It was an answer that came after
the court martialled officer leveled
his guns on the navy dcpai intent ln
a dramatic disclosure by the widow
of the lato commander of the Shen
andoah that the navy department
had attempted, unsuccessfully to
get her to perjure herself ln testi
mony she offered before the naval
board of Inquiry Into the dirigible
disastor. , .
Tho proceedings were marked too,
by a return of council to the legal
bickerings which early tn the trial
threatened to stagnate It. From
passive resistance to Introduction of
dofense testimony Col. Sherman
Moreland, trial Judge advocate, be
came a stubborn combatant to
spreading defense evidenco on the
court records.
Representative Frank S. Rold,
chief of Mitchell's counsel, battled
with Moreland throughout the day.
Rotd's combativeness even extended
to the court, with which he found
fault for holding a session at which
the public was barred while tt
wrangled over tho admlssabllity of
Walsh's testimony.
