PATLT CAPITAL JOURNAL, IALEU, OBBOOH, TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1913.
AM TfflflB,
Superintendent of Guards at 8tate Pen
itentiary Admits He Assaulteu
a Convict
F. II. Snodgrass, the former deputy
warden of the penitentiary and now
superintendent of guards at that in
stitution, was sentenced to pay a fine
of $50 and costs by Justice of the
Teace Webster yesterday afternoon
after testimony had been received per
taining to a charge of assault and bat
tery preferred against the prison offi
cial by L. II. MeMahan as private pros
ecutor. During the month of May; Snodgrass
assaulted Jim Davis, a prisoner he had
in charge at the corner of Commercial
and Center streets, while awaiting the
arrival of a taxicab to take the man in
charge to the penitentiary. The guard
slapped the prisoner through the face
with his open hand, causing the blood
to flow from his nose, and again hit his
charge in the head for the alleged roa
son that Davis cursed the deputy
warden.
Snodgrass pleaded guilty to the
charge last Friday and, upon the sug
geotion of Justice Webster, witnesses
were called upon to testify in order
that the court could determine the pro
per sentence to be pronounced in the
acae.
L. H. MeMahan, private prosecutor,
and Deputy District Attorney Keyes
appeared in court yesterday afternoon
and the- witnesses were called to give
their version of the affair. According
to the testimony, which was undisputed,
Snodgrate did strike the prisoner two
times while he waa handcuffed and
waiting for the taxicab to arrive to take
the party to the prison. Dan Truit, a
guard who was along with Snodgrass
at the time testified that the deputy
warden hit Davis in the face two times,
the first blow bringing blood and the
second nearly knocking the handcuffed,
portly drunken prisoner off his feet.
Police Officer Woo'lery testified that
Snodgriiss knocked the prisoner down
after he had been captured and placed
the handcuffs upon him. Davis did
not attempt to escape, said Woolery,
and the officer hit him a blow and tho
prisoner fell like a log.
Prisoner Called.
Apparently anxious to not say any
thing against Snodgrass, Jim Davis,
the prisoner who was assaulted, testi
fied that while he did not want to say
anything against Mr. Snodgrass' nnd
Superintendent I.awson, he would tell
the truth. He said that Snodgrass ns
snujted him many times; the first time
knocking him down, and the second and
third times he slapped him in the face
with surh force as to cause his noso
and ear to bleed. Davis further testi
fied that while he and the guards were
on their way to the prison, Snodgrass
beat him up something awful. 1'pon
arriving at the prison, testified Davis,
his eye was closed shut from a blow
and his lips and fare bled freely from
blows struck by Snodgrass. Ho also
stated in court that Truit jumped in tho
Tear end of the taxi before (ho prison
was reached nnd advised Snodgrass to
case hitting him.
Violated Rules.
According to Superintendent Lawson,
who was called to testify, Snodgrass
committed a flagrant violation of the
priBnn rules. The superintendent of
the institution declared that the guards
were given the privilege of placing
handcuffs upon a prisoner, but they
were not allowed to in any way mis
treat a charge unless an attempt to
escape was made. Superintendent Law
on was very frank in explaining the
rules of the prison and not at any time
diil he attempt to shield Snodgrass.
He gave his personal view of the case

case by saying that he had no knowl
edge of Davis condition when he was
returned to prison other than what was
told him by the guards and that no
violence was allowed under any cir
cumstances other than necessary to pro
tect the guards from personal injury.
Case Most Aggravating.
Deputy District Attorney Keyes de
livered himself of a short argument in
which he recommended that inasmuch
as the defendant could not be made to
answer to the grand jury for his ac
tions, the justice of the peace give him
the maximum sentence on the grounds
the case was a most aggravating one
and that Snodgrass failed to even ap
pear in court to answer the charge filed
against him.
Justice Webster, in passing upon the
procedings, declared that, according to
the general laws covering such cases,
Snodgrass should be prosecuted on the
charge of contempt of court in that he
failed to appear. Therefore, he gave
the warden the maximum sentence of
$50 and costs.
ir
Tomer Claims That He Has Reason to
Believe Steeves' Steam-Rollered
Chief of Police.
Is Mayor Steeves bulldozing the chief
of police! At the council meeting last
night Turner intimated that his excel
lency had steam-rollered Shedeck into
accepting the appointment of J. W.
Roberts as patrolman, although the head
of the police department favored James.
The mayor denied that he had forced
the chief to accept his choice.
The question came up after a commu
nication from Shedeck and Steevee rec
ommending the appointment of Roberta
to fill a vacancy was read.
Upon motion of Stolz the matter was
laid over one week. Earlier in the
meeting the council had gone on record
in favor of reducing the force from
eight to six men, Councilman Jones
bringing the matter up, and showing
that there would be a big deficit, if the
increased force was kept on. In mak
ing his motion to lay the matter of
appointing Roberts over a week Stolz
censured the council, declaring that
there had been a good deal of nonsense
during the session. He believed the
summer time the proper season to econ
omize. In the fall and winter a larger
police forco was needed.
Special Committee Named.
Mayor Steeves announced the ap
pointment of f'ouncilmen Waring, Jones
and Constable nnd liev. H. T. Habcock,
D. J. Frye and M. J. rogue on the spe
cial committee to investigate the police
i department. Tho mayor said ho had
delayed tho appointment in order to as-
' certain if an ordinenec could be passed
to compel the attendance of witnesses,
and put them under oath, but had been
advised that it would be necessary to
1 amend the charter.
I In the discussion over police ninttcrB
Jones showed that there would be a de
ficit of $1250 if the present force was
maintained. It wns being pointed out
by one councilman that a dog catcher
was drawing pay and doing very little.
It was suggested that he could get 1000
I unlicensed doga in Salem, if ho exerted
j himself.
i A question was raised as to how Mo
torcycle Cop Spencer got on. He was
appointed to prevent speeding by the
mayor, it nppenred. Cninmings sug
gested that tho entire force devote a
week to rounding up motorcycle and
automobile speeders, declaring that the
law was being disregarded generally.
Chief Shedeck reported that $155 in
' fines had been collected through the
activities of Rcncer and he had drawn
.only $87.50 In salary. Roberts, the dog
catcher, had drawn $7.50, he stated.

Committee Thinks City Is Not Liable
for Damages Because Aged Man
Fell on Plank.
At the council meeting last night the
ways and means committee reported
unfavorably on the claim of W. S. Port
er for damages for injuries sustained
at the corner of High and State State
streets by falling from a plank. It was

plank had been placed there temiorari
ly when a heavy rainfall clogged the
ilrain ami flooded the corner. Fortcr

sidewalk about 4 p. m. in the afternoon,
after hundreds of men, women and
children had crossed. The claimant is
73 years old. The committee was sat
isfied that tho city is not liable for
damages, and recommended that no
further action be taken in the case. '
Unable to Agree.
Brown reported that property owners
of Division street and the mill people
held a meeting, but were unable to get
together on the proposition of retaining
walls and other matters. The city at
torney was instructed to negotiate.
Sewer stubs into alleys on Union
street were authorized, cost not to ex
ceed $200.
It was recommended that a storm
sewer be installed on South Commercial
street at a point where the seepago
water is gathering.
It waa announced by Brown that the
Waite fountain would be In full opera
tion Tuesday, Friday and Sunday of
each week.
Tho question of permitting J. F. La
tham to move his paint shop to Winter
and Trade streets was put up to the
Mayor by a committee.
Stolz announced, in answer to a query
from Maey, that as soon as the con
tractor steamed up for Church street
improvement work on 12th Btreet would
be finished.
Remonstrance.
A remonstrance against tho improve
ment of High street was filed by
George Whitenker and about 10 others.
Plans and specifications for the im
provement of 20th street from North
Center to Burlington addition were sub
mitted by the street committee.
A petition for paving nntWnr the
council to vacate nine feet of each side
of East street was presented by proper
ty owners residing between Capitol and
12th.
A resolution by Tiigdon that hereaf
ter street improvement assessments lie
based on the work between intersec
tions, instead of the whole improve
ment, wns referred to the street com
mittee. The resolution recited that this
would be a fairer way of computing the
nmouuts to be paid.
A petition of certnin property own
ers to oil their section of Broadway
was granted.
