RELATES MURDER OF 22 YEARS AGO PORTLAND, Ore., July 17—Police today are prepared to release Oliver Cameron, 51, confessed slayer of U. J. Gay, near Birmingham, Ala., in 1902, following receipt of a telegram from Birmingham authorities that they had no intention of sending for Cameron. The telegram stated that Gay did not die, and expressed doubt if he were shot at all. PORTLAND, Gre., July 17—Conscience which for 22 years haunted him caused Oliver Cameron, 51, to confess the murder of U. G. Gay, Jan. 2, 1962, about ten miles from Birmingham, Ala. Authorities today are holding Cameron pending word from Birmingham. His confession was made willingly to police following an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide by jumping off a Willamette river bridge here yesterday. A passing launch rescued him. Cameron contended that Gay swindled his widowed cousin out of some property, living in her former home himself while the woman, with three small children, was forced to live in a shack. Recourse at law failed, Cameron said, and he then attempted to persuade Gay to leave the place. A quarrel ensued and, according to Cameron’s story, Gay drew a knife. Cameron shot Gay twice and hurried from the scene. He spent four years in the navy under the name of Dennis Seegars, later married and lived in Seattle. He said he had been a wanderer since 1915 when his wife secured a divorce. Last Christmas he heard authorities were looking for him and since then he has “bummed about,” driven almost insane by thoughts of the crime and his possible arrest. He came here 10 days ago, a derelict.

BURGLARS BORROW OFFICE WATCH DOG STAMFORD, Conn., July 18—Police here studied for awhile the idea of using a watchdog belonging to a local lumber company as a sleuth bound to trace burglaries who twice entered the company office in 24 hours. The intruders, finding nothing of value on their visit, took the dog along with them. A day later they returned and brought the dog back, leaving it tied up exactly where they found it. In their visits the burglaries left no clues—footprints, fingerprints or otherwise. YORBA NEWS YORBA, July 17.—(Spl.)—Vacation is here.

"War must not come in a generation if the white race is going to survive," asserted Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio supreme court, in an address here. "We should demand abolition of war," continued Judge Allen, who is the first woman in the United States, if not the world, to reach the exalted judicial position she occupies. "The reason I do not emphasize peace is that peace is the condition of not having war. I do not believe that war could be automatically abolished merely by an international law, but we can never check war until it is illegal." Penny dancing Friday night. Come!

Ten Broeck, president of the Yellow Cab Co., who appeared before the transportation board in connection with the granting of a cab license. This was given as the reason for an ever increasing trouble in the operation of this city's taxis. The taxi president's statement about taxicab troubles brought a look of surprise upon the face of Councilman Charles J. McMorrow. "What!" he exclaimed. "We have more trouble than ever before."

W. Hannum, superintendent of the power house, said today, in an interview. Hannum does not anticipate any appreciable diminution in the flow of the other wells with the new well, and the figure mentioned is the net increment to be added. Discussing the charge that the city's small tank constituted a hazard in case of fire, Hannum declared that during the Toyland fire the pumps were attached directly to the mains, without using the tank at all, and that while a large covered reservoir would be a convenience in case of emergency, it was not necessary. The point where the fifth well is to be dug has not yet been chosen. The Santa Ana river directly furnishes Anaheim with all its water, Hannum averred, precipitation being no factor of consequence in helping to keep up the level of the wells. Hence the proposed joint water system of the four cities—Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana—would have to draw upon the river unless water diverted from the Colorado river via Boulder canyon or some other point became available. Mayor E. H. Metcalf declared that the four cities had been discussing a joint water system for some 18 months past, but had reached no decision as to what should be done. There is a difficulty in drawing from the river at the upper end of the canyon, in that opposition STRONG DEFENSE IN DYNAMITE CASE SANTA BARBARA, July 18—The defence in the case of W. C. Crawford, Taylor and William Downs, being tried for the murder of J. J. McGuire, Los Olivos blacksmith, who was dynamited to death in his home, prepared today to make the most of the sensational charges made by Harvey Stonebarger, oil man, an expected star witness for the state. On the stand, Stonebarger charged the office of the district attorney with third degree methods, and that he was kept on his feet for 20 hours. Under cross-examination, Stonebarger de clared he had been influenced into giving damaging testimony to the prosecuting attorney against the three men on trial by the severe grilling he had received. In repudiating his former alleged statement on the stand, Stonebarger declared that he had left the dynamite alleged to have been used at a haystack and did not give it to Crawford as was alleged in his previous statements to the prosecuting attorney. The testimony of Stonebarger on cross-examination was a big surprise to the state, which had relied upon his testimony to clinch the net of circumstantial evidence that has been presented during the trial now in its second week.
