Medford Mail Tribune, February 24, 1933, page 11 Officer Cave Indicted for Slaying of Dahack in Raid on Still
Joe Cave, Medford policeman, was indicted by the Jackson County grand
jury Saturday, on a charge of involuntary manslaughter, for the death
of Everett Dahack of Eagle Point on the morning of November 14, 1930,
during the progress of a raid on a still in the Reese Creek district.GRAND JURY SAYS DUE CAUTION NOT USED IN GUNPLAY Involuntary Manslaughter Is Charged in Reese Creek Still Raid-- Bond Fixed at $1500 in Old Raid Case ----
The indictment charges "that said Joe Cave in the commission of a
lawful act, but without due caution or circumspection, fired a rifle in
the proximity of Everett Dahack, causing his death."No Criminal Intent Seen.
No criminal intent is embodied in the indictment. Judge William M.
Duncan of Klamath County, who presided at the session, fixed the bonds
of Cave at $1500. It was the second involuntary manslaughter indictment
returned by the grand jury, which was formally discharged yesterday.
Reinhard A. Rolfe of Central Point was indicted for the killing of his
hunting companion in mistake for a bear. Rolfe was found guilty and now
on parole.Dahack was killed on November 14, 1930, at a still on Reese Creek, during the progress of a raid of which Cave was a member. The fatal shot was fired, according to report, in the air, to halt Raleigh Matthews when he attempted to flee. Afterwards Dahack was found dead near a mash barrel. It was the theory that the bullet ricocheted. Reopens Old Case.
Two previous grand juries--one ordered by the governor with a special
prosecutor--heard the evidence in the case, without being able to
return a true bill.Raleigh Matthews, a cousin of Dahack, Ted Smith, and William Goetschen, were arrested and found guilty of operating the raided still. Matthews and Goetschen served prison terms. Smith was paroled, on promise to support his family and mother-in-law. The death of Dahack became a political issue and was used effectively as campaign material, particularly in the country districts. It was also widely used as "copy" in the fevered journalism that has kept the county in a turmoil for the past two years. Only Indictment Found.
The indictment against Cave was the only indictment returned at the
farewell appearance. Goetschen and Smith, now residents of Portland,
were brought here as witnesses. Each drew fees of $62 on county
warrants yesterday.Seventeen witnesses were examined by the grand jury, including all the officers of the law engaged in the raid. It required most of the week. A number of matters were examined by the grand jury since it started its session last October. Many of the matters presented had to do with local conditions. Medford Mail Tribune, February 26, 1933, page 1 The Dahack Case Again
From several anonymous communications received today we cull the following:"Your paper gets all excited about lawlessness and violence, but you don't say nothing about the dastard that shot down Everett Dahack in cold blood; you get all excited about the disappearance of ballots in the court house, but you don't say nothing about the disappearance of liquor from that same court house. Explain that, Mr. Editor!" Gladly! If this correspondent will examine the files of this paper he will find we have said a GREAT deal about both the Dahack and the liquor disappearance case. Not only once but many times. As to the Dahack case in the past few years, we have often said what we repeat now. The Dahack case has been examined by a coroner's jury, two grand juries, by a special prosecutor and a special grand jury, but to date none has been able to secure sufficient evidence against the man responsible for Dahack's death to secure an indictment. If anyone has any new evidence which will throw any new light on this case, bring the guilty party or parties to justice, THEN NO ONE WILL WELCOME SUCH ACTION MORE WHOLEHEARTEDLY THAN THE MAIL TRIBUNE. It is the duty of those who claim they have such evidence to present it at once to the proper authorities so this case my be cleared up once and for all." Only yesterday a prominent member of the Good Government Congress visited this office and declared the Dahack case was evidence of the breakdown of law and order in this community, and he has evidence to prove it. The reply of the writer was "THEN GO BEFORE THE GRAND JURY, NOW IN SESSION, AND GIVE THAT EVIDENCE. If you can clear this case up, bring about the conviction of the guilty party or parties, you will have rendered a genuine public service. We believe NO ONE would more gladly place the slayer of Dahack behind bars than District Attorney Codding himself." The reply was "I have already appeared before the grand jury and presented my evidence." FINE! Now if there is new evidence on this case, which will allow the PRESENT grand jury to do what the other grand juries failed to do; will allow District Attorney Codding to secure an indictment where a special prosecutor appointed by Governor Meier FAILED--then all good citizens should rejoice. For this case has been a thorn in the flesh of the body politic LONG ENOUGH, and the sooner it is cleared up once and for all, the better for all concerned. As to the liquor disappearance case, on which this paper is also accused of saying "nothing," if our correspondent will again consult the files he will find this disappearance plastered all over the front page under a black face banner the day it was announced. He will find a score of references to it, also the report of the grand jury concerning it. Our comment upon that is the same as our comment on the Dahack case. Anyone with evidence on this case should go before the grand jury and present it. If the system of records renders the tracing of liquor difficult, then let that system be IMMEDIATELY changed. If the person or persons guilty of this crime CAN BE FOUND and brought to justice, no one will welcome such action more wholeheartedly than the Mail Tribune. This paper doesn't care what the case is. If a crime has been committed, let's get to the bottom of it and punish those responsible just as soon as guilt can be legally established. But for the sake of all that's sane and decent, let's STOP trying these cases, or any other cases, in the newspapers. That's not a newspaper's job. It's the job of our public officials, our police, our courts and our juries. Get behind them. Support them in the proper performance of their duties, run down the guilty, protect the innocent, in short, maintain this FREE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT OF OURS, as it was handed down to us, and as we trust it will endure long after we are gone! ----
P.S.--The above was written early Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon
the grand jury returned an indictment in the Dahack case. The editorial
above thus becomes even more pertinent and timely than the writer ever
suspected it would be. Now this case CAN BE CLEARED UP ONCE AND FOR ALL!Medford Mail Tribune, February 26, 1933, page 6 BROWNSBORO

To the Editor:The members of the Good Government Congress had a large and enthusiastic meeting at the Shady Cove school house last night. Judge Fehl, Llewellyn Banks and Mrs. Henrietta Martin were present and delivered speeches. An audience of 80 was counted 20 minutes before the meeting opened. Many more came in later. There were well over a hundred present. Mr. Llewellyn Banks spoke first. His style of oratory is inflammatory and is very apt to incite people to violence and bloodshed. We were pleased to note that Judge Fehl spoke in a conservative, peaceful manner and for the most part friendly. The only time he became somewhat abusive was in speaking of how Commissioner Nealon would block him whenever he wished something done for the good of the community. He said, however, that he had been able to compel the head of the relief committee to furnish the needy with proper, healthful food, whereas before it was unfit for consumption. He said that no violence or threats should be resorted to; but that the members of the G.G.C. should start a petition, beginning with 200 members, and compel an investigation as to the legality of Nealon's appointment. He asserted that the retiring commissioner and judge who appointed him were private citizens on the day they signed his appointment, as their term of office had expired. After the speeches those who were not members were asked to hold up their hand and join. I held up mine and said I did not care to join such an organization as it led to too much squabbling. I tried to point out that the officials were appointed by the people and represented the will of the people, and the courts ought to be respected. Mr. Banks politely shook hands with me and asked me to say some more. I went and shook hands with Mr. Fehl and made a few broken remarks. Judge Fehl took me up when I said that the court house was closed only to political meetings. He then read and handed me a typewritten copy of the order of the two commissioners, but without his signature, reading in part as follows: "It is hereby ordered that the use of said auditorium in the county court house to any and all persons be and hereby is prohibited except by written permission of the county court for each and every such meeting, signed by two members of the county court." Great applause. I apologized. I upheld Billings and Nealon, saying they were good men; I knew them, and both had a very good reputation. This brought forth some booing and a lot of laughter. Apparently all the audience was either Good Government Congressmen or sympathizers. I told the audience that I thought Judge Fehl was a good man with good intentions. The audience seemed to be a very good natured, jolly lot, who for the most part harbored no ill-will, and we all parted in a friendly spirit. SYDNEY S. BARKER.

Documentary evidence concerning the citizenship of Prof. C. Engelhardt
of the Long Tom Mountain district, and one of the minor figures in the
recent turmoil, will be presented to the immigration department by the
district attorney's office. Prof. Engelhardt was listed as a "victim of
a miscarriage of justice" last spring when found guilty by a jury of
hitting a neighbor, John Domagalla, over the head with a long board
during a quarrel over hogs at large.Prof. Engelhardt appeared with Mrs. Henrietta B. Martin, president of the "Good Government Congress" in justice court late yesterday and offered himself as a bondsman for O. L. Van Wegen, held in the county jail on an indictment charging riotous conduct. Records of the county clerk's office show that Engelhardt gave two different spots as his birthplace, and two different ages. One affidavit asserts he was born in New York state, and other that he was born in Meringen, Germany. Baptismal records support the latter place. Questioned upon these records, Prof. Engelhardt refused to answer, and the hearing on his qualifications as a bondsman ended. It was also revealed that Prof. Englehardt's vote at the last election was challenged by the election board but later he was allowed to vote. Mrs. Martin, who was accompanied by her father, C. H. Brown, and her mother, said that an effort would be made to secure a new bondsman. A laborer by the name of Bowman, who ostensibly was to be offered as a bondsman, was not questioned relative to his qualifications. Mrs. Martin and her father were released last Saturday on bonds, after two weeks in the county bastille on indictments alleging criminal syndicalism, riotous conduct and slandering a bank. Prof. Engelhardt claimed he was worth $75,000, but refused to state where his wealth was located. His farm is assessed at $5700. Van Wegen is indicted for riotous conduct in connection with Mrs. Martin's attempt to horsewhip Editor Leonard Hall of the Jacksonville Miner. A gun-carrying charge against him in justice court is awaiting decision. Medford Mail Tribune, April 6, 1933, page 10 EAGLE POINT

Raleigh Matthews of the Eagle Point district, charged with drunken
driving was sentenced Saturday morning by Justice of the Peace Coleman,
to serve 30 days in jail, pay a fine of $150. The court warned Matthews
to "keep out of autos and stay on the ranch." A stay of execution was
granted on the sentence, and 90 days granted in which to pay the fine.Attorney Charles Reames told the court that Matthews entered a plea of guilty to the charge, though there was technical doubt about it. He was not driving the auto but was seated in it with one Otto King. It was charged that the "press had created a prejudice against Matthews," and there was "prejudice also in the Eagle Point district. The court informed the defendant and counsel that the leniency was extended because of the father, Green Matthews, who is seriously ill with paralysis and "with the understanding that Mr. Matthews stays home and works on the ranch and helps his father." The court warned Matthews that any future arrest would "make it tough." "In barring you from the use of your auto, a hardship is worked," the court said, "but if you want to go places, you will have to use a horse until the suspension of your driver's license for one year is up. "You have had enough experience to know you can't get away with driving an auto during this period, and I warn you against trying it. If you do the law enforcement agencies will pick you up again." The court suggested, in his remarks, "to go down to the barn to have your good times, and don't come to Medford in an auto." Matthews told the court he would be busy operating two ranches this summer. His brother, Nye Matthews, is serving a jail sentence for the same offense.

Grass on the range is at least 30 days late. Hay in most cases having been fed out in early April, the demand for valley hay has been brisk.

Germany, October 31, 1859. His parents came to the United States,
landing in New York in 1872, and they came across the continent by
railroad to Red Bluff, California, then terminus of the railroad. They
were met there by a relative and came to Jackson County by team and
wagon. Mr. Meyer was twelve years old at that time.His parents cleared a home in the Butte Creek country out of the timber and brush land.

GRANTS PASS, May 30.--(Spl.)--O. S. Blanchard, Grants Pass attorney,
spoke to the members of the chamber of commerce at the Monday forum
luncheon in opposition to the Tiller-Trail road extending from Douglas
County to Jackson County, stating that the citizens of Grants Pass must
fight this proposition and present their claims before the highway
commission in an effort to defeat and overcome the idea of the road
improvement.This proposed stretch of 50 miles would cut off seven miles distance between Roseburg and Southern Oregon and would be built at an expense of $2,000,000, Blanchard stated. A highway estimate for the Pacific Highway between Grants Pass and Roseburg recently showed that an equal amount of mileage could be eliminated in curves and grades at a cost of only $500,000, the speaker emphasized. If such a road were built, Grants Pass would be obliterated from southern travel on the Pacific Highway altogether. The local chamber of commerce is now fighting the measure, and recently word was received that the Roseburg chamber of commerce will stand behind those opposing the construction, stating that, although they would like a road through the Tiller-Trail region and expected to get one in future years, it is not deemed advisable to build at this time. With the Grants Pass chamber of commerce and its associates combining in an effort to divert attention to the present Pacific Highway instead of a needless expenditure on a new road, every effort is to be made to defeat the proposition, Mr. Blanchard stated. Medford Mail Tribune, May 30, 1933, page 7 McLEOD

PORTLAND, June 13--(AP)--Tentative allocation of $585,000 of forest
highway funds under the public works bill for immediate letting was
effected today at a conference between the state highway commission and
the bureau of public roads. The money, as agreed in the forepart of the
session, will be expended on nine different projects.Law Said to Make Money Available July 1, But Contracts May Be Awarded Immediately, Is Opinion. Bids for these forest highway jobs will be called at the same time as the state will call for about $1,750,000 of work out of federal funds previously allocated. Advertising of these projects will be ordered when specifications are received from Washington upon final adoption of the public works bill. The first money of forest funds will be spent as follows: Pendleton-John Day highway, four miles grading between Dale and Range in Grant County, $100,000. Enterprise-Imnaha road, known as the Sheep Creek route, 8 miles grading in Wallowa County $100,000. Tiller-Trail grading about two miles to summit in Douglas County, $75,000. Willamette highway bridges near Oakridge $75,000. Willamette highway gradin $60,000. North Santiam clearing and grading $65,000. County cooperation of $50,000 on the part of Marion County will bring projects on the North Santiam to $115,000 on the first letting, it was announced. A telegram to the highway commission today from J. M. Devers, attorney representing Oregon at Washington, informed that the law makes the money available July 1, but that in his opinion contracts could be awarded immediately with the signing of the measure by the president. The Devers telegram stated more than $6,112,000 would be available for state highways, $1,280,000 for national parks, of which Crater Lake roads will receive the benefit, and $400,000 for roads on public lands. [omission] of $585,000 the conference considered a million-dollar program, should funds be available. At the present time there is confusion in the minds of the local forest and public road officials. Regional Forester Buck said that his advices indicated that the total amount for forest highways apportioned to Oregon would be in the neighborhood of one million dollars and not $4,000,000 as has been reported.

Earl Hanscom, 29, "finished the dance"! Albert Tingleaf, 48, died, and
District Attorney George Codding will file a charge of first degree
murder against the former today or tomorrow, as result of an Eagle
Point dance affray of Saturday midnight. It brought Mr. Tingleaf a
nine-inch break in the skull and numerous facial fractures, which
caused death Sunday afternoon at the Sacred Heart Hospital.Battle Over Woman Ends Fatally--Skull Fractured, Facial Bones Crushed-- Mob Violence Threatened. The fractures were allegedly inflicted by young Hanscom, who insisted that he continue through the remaining strains of the number and seat his partner before submitting to arrest. He was approached by Eagle Point Constable Paul Hoffard when the brutally mangled body of Tingleaf was found on the sidewalk just outside the dance hall. The latter had lost consciousness, which he never regained. Claims Fist Used
Hanscom was brought to the Jackson County jail about 1 o'clock Sunday
morning, Jailer Fred Kelly reported yesterday. His clothes and shoes
were stained with blood and smeared with hair, believed to be
Tingleaf's. His hands and body were uninjured, but he insisted he had
used only his hands in striking Tingleaf.Tingleaf, about the same time, was taken to the local hospital, where death appeared apparent from the beginning. The skull fracture extended from the middle front of his forehead to the back of his head, and all facial bones were crushed. An operation, believed the only possible hope, was undergone yesterday and proved futile. Fight Over Woman
The fight, which occurred just outside the dance hall at Eagle Point,
where both men resided, grew out of a disagreement between the two
involving a woman, Irene Gerome of Portland, according to reports filed
with local authorities.Hanscom, authorities state, apparently struck Tingleaf a number of times with a weapon, thought to be the handle of a tire jack, which had not been located this afternoon. State police were working with Constable Hoffard on the case. The Portland woman, a niece of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Botts, orchestra conductors, was their guest at the dance. She left on the morning train yesterday for Portland and was met by members of the state police upon arrival there last night and questioned. She will be returned to Medford as a witness, state police said today. Hanscom was seated with Mrs. Gerome outside the dance hall in a car, according to statements filed, when Tingleaf approached the machine and said "Irene, this is our dance." The woman stepped from the car and Hanscom interceded with "Tingleaf, you are interfering with my affairs." The fight allegedly began then with Hanscom striking Tingleaf and knocking him to the sidewalk. Seated in Auto
Hanscom, in statements to the county jailer, said Mrs. Botts was also
in the car when Tingleaf approached and asked the woman for the dance.
He said all were seated in the auto belonging to Charlie Pettegrew, who
also resides at Eagle Point, and that all had had a few drinks. When
Tingleaf asked for the dance, Hanscom told the officer, he replied "Go
away and attend to your own business." That Tingleaf raised his arm to
strike and that he then jumped from the car and knocked Tingleaf down.Other statements filed set forth that Tingleaf had gone to the car to bring "Irene" into the hall, upon request of her aunt, Mrs. Botts. The latter had returned from the car, where earlier in the evening she had been sitting with Pettegrew, Tingleaf and Irene, when Hanscom approached and ordered the two men to get out. They did so and returned to the dance hall, Mrs. Botts coming out later with Tingleaf to get "Irene." He Finished Dance
Hanscom said he had returned to the dance hall and was dancing when
tagged by a man, who insisted upon talking to him. He refused to go and
was later approached by Constable Hoffard, who arrested him after he
finished the dance.When other dancers learned of the assault, it was stated yesterday by Eagle Point residents, they attempted to mob Hanscom and were beaten back by the officer. A number of Eagle Point people came to Medford at an early hour yesterday and remained at the hospital to learn of Tingleaf's condition. An autopsy was held late yesterday afternoon by Coroner Frank Perl with Dr. A. F. W. Kresse, the attending physician, and County Physician C. I. Drummond in attendance. Investigation of the case was being continued today by Constable Hoffard, the state police and district attorney's office. Leaves Family
Mr. Tingleaf, a farmer of the Eagle Point section, leaves a wife and two children.Hanscom, the son of Charley Hanscom of Eagle Point, has been a well-known character in the valley for several years, appearing in the courts on charges filed by his wife, who accused him of non-support and of beating their child. Medford Mail Tribune, July 10, 1933, page 1 MURDER CHARGE FILED AGAINST EAGLE POINTER
First degree murder charges were filed this morning by the district
attorney's office against Earl Hanscom, 28, of Eagle Point as a result
of the death Sunday afternoon of Albert Tingleaf, 48, also of Eagle
Point, following a fight at a dance in that town Saturday night.Hanscom, being held in the county jail here, waived preliminary hearing and was bound over to the federal grand jury. State police yesterday afternoon questioned Hanscom concerning the fight and he again related the story of the altercation which resulted in Hanscom knocking Tingleaf down after "hitting him square in the face" several times, officers quoted him as saying. When Tingleaf fell, according to Hanscom, the latter said "Now you'll leave me alone," and when Tingleaf didn't answer, Hanscom went on into the dance hall and danced. He was arrested by Marshal Paul Hoffard of Eagle Point at 12:30 o'clock and brought to Medford. Hanscom had ridden to the dance with the Tingleaf family, police said, and they had always seemed to be the best of friends. The fight occurred over a dance with Irene Gerome of Portland, who was attending the dance as the guest of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Botts, who conduct the orchestra there. The Eagle Point dance hall is located in the town, across the street from the bank. State police were in the Eagle Point district today checking on information concerning the fight.

Hall Fight
Albert Tingleaf, 45, of Eagle Point died at a Medford hospital Sunday,
and Earl Hanscom, 29, of the same town is in the Jackson County jail
held on a first-degree murder charge, as the result of an affray at an
Eagle Point dance early Sunday morning, in which Tingleaf received a
nine-inch break in his skull.Hanscom, arrested by Marshal Paul Hoffard of Eagle Point, was taken to Medford about 1 a.m. His clothes were stained with blood and smeared with gray hairs, believed to be Tingleaf's. About the same time Tingleaf was taken to a Medford hospital, unconscious, his head badly mutilated and streaming with blood. Fight Starts Over Girl
The fight is alleged to have started over a woman named Irene Gerome,
of Portland, a niece of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Botts, Medford musicians.
Her identity was not revealed until Sunday evening when she was taken
in Portland by state police after she had left for the north on the
Sunday morning train. She will be returned as a witness, it is said.Hanscom was seated in a car outside the dance hall, it is said, when Tingleaf approached and said, "This is our dance Irene." Hanscom then told Tingleaf to mind his own business and the fight started. Hanscom was believed to have struck Tingleaf with the handle of an auto jack, as his hands did not show any marks and Tingleaf's skull was broken open. Hanscom denied using anything but his fist, however. Mrs. Botts was also said to have been seated in the car when the fight started and Mr. Botts was in the dance hall. Irene Gerome had been their guest at the dance. Mr. Botts is instructor of music in the Gold Hill schools. Gold Hill News, July 13, 1933, page 1 HANSCOM'S CLAIM OF DANCE DRINKS MET BY DENIAL
"There was no drinking in that car during my presence," Mrs. R. A. Botts informed the Mail Tribune last
night, referring to statements, allegedly made by Earl Hanscom, held
for first degree murder, regarding events leading up to the Eagle Point
dance affray of last Saturday midnight, which brought death to Albert
J. Tingleaf.Hanscom in statements made to county jailer Fred Kelly, following his arrest and incarceration in the county jail, placed Mr. Tingleaf, Mrs. Botts, Charles Pettegrew and Irene Gerome of Portland in the car during some "between-dances" drinking. Mrs. Earl Hanscom, wife of the alleged killer, held without bond, has arrived in Medford from California with her young son. She was seen yesterday wheeling the boy on the streets. Both appeared in much better health than when they left Medford some time ago, after Mrs. Hanscom had sued her husband for non-support. He was convicted of the charge and paroled by the judge. Mrs. Hanscom gave no reason yesterday for being in Medford and stated she knew nothing of the alleged murder until she arrived here.

Earl Hanscom, 28, Eagle Point farmer boy, charged with the murder of
Albert J. Tingleaf, his friend and neighbor, this afternoon entered a
plea of guilty to murder in the second degree and was sentenced to life
imprisonment in state prison, by Circuit Judge George F. Skipworth.LIFE SENTENCE PRONOUNCED BY JUDGE AT ONCE Hanscom wept bitterly at the fateful words. He will be taken to state prison in a day or so. Hanscom pleaded guilty on a district attorney's information and waived a grand jury hearing. The court named attorney E. E. Kelly as his counsel. The husky-appearing defendant told the court that "it was all a mistake--and so unnecessary. Tingleaf was my friend, and I want in some way to extend my sympathy to his family." Hanscom said he "did not know how it happened," and spoke in praise of the treatment accorded him by the state police. The entire proceedings required hardly five minutes. Hanscom has been pondering the entering of a second degree murder plea for several days and reached a decision today. Tingleaf, a middle-aged farmer, was killed by Hanscom Saturday night, July 8, following an altercation at the Eagle Point dance. Tingleaf died the following day in a local hospital from injuries sustained in a terrific beating. Hanscom has lived practically all his life in this section. He first came into public notice a year or so ago, when he was charged with non-support of his child and wife. He was later paroled by Circuit Judge Norton. His wife, as soon as she heard of his present predicament, came from Los Angeles. Medford Mail Tribune, July 18, 1933, page 1 Phoenix Grange to Stage Program at Eagle Pt. Tonight

Medford Mail Tribune, July 19, 1933, page 9 HANSCOM SLATED FOR PRISON TRIP IN CURRENT WEEK
Earl Hanscom, Eagle Point farmer, sentenced to life imprisonment
yesterday upon his plea of guilty for the murder of Albert J. Tingleaf,
friend and neighbor, as the climax to a trivial quarrel outside an
Eagle Point dance hall, about midnight on Saturday, July 8, will be
taken to the state penitentiary within the week by Sheriff Olmscheid.
Tingleaf died the following day from the effects of a terrific beating
at the hands of Hanscom.Hanscom, who wept bitterly in court yesterday when he entered a plea of guilty, was more reconciled today in his cell, but still deeply remorseful. He expressed regret and sympathy for the family of his victim in open court before the mandatory sentence of life imprisonment was imposed by Judge Skipworth. Hanscom was allowed to plead guilty to second degree murder because of the lack of premeditation in the killing, it occurring following a violent outburst of temper. The two men were good friends. The case of Fred Wolf, charged with murder as the climax of a rural love triangle last May in which William Sheldon was slain, is still pending in the local courts. He is represented by attorney Frank DeSouza. Wolf awaits grand jury action and attorney DeSouza said no guilty plea would be entered. Hanscom, when he reaches the penitentiary, will join a large colony of Jackson County inmates serving for felonies ranging from theft to capital offenses. Among the "lifers" from this county are the DeAutremont brothers, confessed Siskiyou tunnel bandits and slayers, now on their seventh year of imprisonment; Pat Donohue, sentenced as a habitual criminal for attempting to force a local junk dealer by torture to reveal the hiding place of his mythical wealth; Albert W. Reed, Denver, Colo., youth, found guilty of slaying Victor Knott, Ashland special policeman in November, 1931. Paul McQuade and Lee Jackson, pals of Reed in crime, have never been captured.

Medford Mail Tribune, July 20, 1933, page 10 HANSCOM TAKEN TO PENITENTIARY FOR LIFE TERM
Earl Hanscom, 29, husky Eagle Point district farmer, who near midnight
on Saturday, July 9, slew his friend and neighbor, Albert J. Tingleaf,
middle-aged farmer, left this morning by train for Salem in charge of
Deputy Sheriff Phil Lowd, to start serving a life sentence in the state
prison. Hanscom Tuesday entered a plea of second-degree murder.Hanscom battered Tingleaf during a trivial quarrel, until he died from injuries in a local hospital the following day. The fatal fracas occurred outside the dance hall at Eagle Point. Dressed in a neatly pressed blue suit and a bright-hued necktie, Hanscom, reconciled to his fate, left the county jail. No friends or kin were present to bid him goodbye. They had said their partings yesterday. He was handcuffed to Deputy Lowd and bade farewell to the few people about the courthouse this morning. He was whisked to the Southern Pacific depot and placed aboard the 10:30 northbound passenger train. Reaching Salem early this evening, he will immediately be "dressed in" at the penitentiary. Hanscom, following his arrest and sentence, was inconsolable in court. Since then he has gradually adopted a more philosophical attitude and is contrite and penitent. Hanscom has lived all his life in this county. A violent temper is blamed by friends for his predicament. Two years ago he came into the news when his wife filed charges of non-support against him. After several weeks of legal bickering, Hanscom was brought to court, friends interceded, and Circuit Judge Norton paroled him. His wife and 18-months-old babe returned to this city from Los Angeles shortly after the slaying. Medford Mail Tribune, July 21, 1933, page 2 EAGLE POINT GRANGE GIVEN REPORTS

[omission] her husband, Ed Hoyt of Fort Klamath, two sisters, Mrs. J. M. Lewis of

grange and of the Medford chapter of the order of Rebeccas.
Funeral services were held at the Perl Funeral Home, conducted by the Rev. W. R. Baird of Medford, and Rev. J. S. Smith of Butte Falls. The Rebeccas had charge of the services at the grave. Burial was in the Antelope cemetery. A host of grieving friends attended the last rites. Mrs. Hoyt was a daughter of one of the oldest pioneer families of the Rogue River Valley, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Howlett, who came to this district when it was little but a wilderness. They raised a large family here, only three daughters of which are now living. Mr. Howlett, who passed away several years ago, was an itinerant minister and a scribe of unique character.

Medford Mail Tribune, August 29, 1933, page 7 GEARY BATTLES COPS' CLAIM OF DRUNKEN DRIVE
Briefs have been filed by the state and defense in the case of Ben
Geary of Elk Creek, arrested for alleged drunken and reckless driving.
The state specifically alleges that Geary backed up and turned around
on the Crater Lake Highway on August 19, last, contrary to traffic
rules and public safety.The defense, in its brief, contends that Geary was not intoxicated, that he had drunk nothing but three bottles of legal beer at Trail, that he was able to relate the conversation he had with the officers when arrested, and that he was able to perform the "difficult feat" of backing up an auto. The state claim that Geary had "a papillary acceleration" and "increased pulsation" due to the presence of intoxicants within, is contended by the defense to have been due to the excitement of being arrested. The defense also avers that the state, in its brief and syllabus, failed to state the law covering intoxication in full, and hints that it was for the purpose of "deceiving the honorable court." The defense also cites opinions and definitions of intoxication, and that it is very difficult of definition by lawyers or determination by laymen. The state contends in its brief that Geary comes within the law covering intoxication and reckless driving, and that "whiskey was smelled upon his breath." Geary, when arrested, was brought before Justice of the Peace William R. Coleman, but no plea was made, and the matter has been pending since that date. The defense sets forth that Geary left his home on Elk Creek, drove to Trail, where he procured gasoline, drank three bottles of 3.2 beer, and later committed the alleged offense of backing up on the highway. The gasoline dealer testified Geary was not intoxicated. The court will consider the briefs and then decide whether or not a trial will be held. Geary, a well-known resident of the Elk Creek district, is represented by Kelly and Kelly, the state by Deputy District Attorney George W. Neilson.

Peace moves were made through Justice of the Peace William R. Coleman
last week in two rural neighborhood disturbances. Those involved agreed
to return to their homes and endeavor to harmonize with one and another
in the future.After hearing both sides of the argument between Helen Driskell and her brother-in-law, Cecil Driskell, of the Derby district, the court ruled both should keep off each other's property, and away from each other. The long-standing trouble came to a head when a fight started which ended when the woman was knocked down and Driskell sustained a black eye. Each claimed the other was the aggressor. Driskell maintained that his sister-in-law hit him in the eye with a rock, not her fist, as she claimed. He admitted that he had torn the woman's clothing, but only after she had torn off his shirt. Dean DeVond, a homesteader of the Elk Creek district, was warned by the court that the "next time any complaint is registered against you, to jail you go--goats or no goats." DeVond told the court he had to herd his goats, and a period in jail would be inconvenient. Complaint was made that the goats were eating up David Pence's corn and otherwise being a nuisance. DeVond also had difficulties with two women he hired as housekeepers, and was advised by the court, "You'll have to cut that out too." "The court is getting tired of hearing about you," said the court.

Attorney's fees of $1000 are also sought. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant has a "bad temper," and at various times over the years has struck her with his fists, clubs and pieces of iron. It is further cited in the complaint that when they were married Engelhardt had less than $100, and the defendant $30, and as a result of labors together they have accumulated land, cattle securities and property of the value of $75,000. The complaint alleges that in 1921 while the wife was making apple butter, the defendant came to the house "to take his usual nap," and "was bothered by flies." It is charged that the defendant hit the plaintiff on the head with "a green club" when she fled, following a domestic disturbance. The plaintiff alleges that she was not allowed to come to this city except with the permission of her husband, "though but 12 miles away, and the defendant has an auto, in which he makes frequent trips."

Mrs. Engelhardt in her suit charged "systematic cruel and inhuman treatment over a period of three years," as grounds for the divorce. She asks one-third of the property, valued at $75,000, dissolution of matrimony, exclusive care and custody of the minor children, and $10,000 gross, or at the rate of $250 per month until paid. The plaintiff sets forth in her complaint that she is 53 years old, that the defendant is 64, and that when married "the defendant had $100 and she but $30." She claims that together through 21 years of married life she labored to help accumulate a farm, $5000 in Eagle Point Irrigation District bonds, a dairy herd and other assets of a community property nature. Attorney Charles Reames appears as counsel for Mrs. Engelhardt. Medford Mail Tribune, November 20, 1933, page 8 TRAIL
