Oregon Soldier Executed For Murder In France
Private Frank Codue, of General Pershing's force in France, was sentenced to death for killing a girl during an attack. Lieutenant Watter McClure requested mercy but the death sentence was approved by the War Department. A separate letter from Lieutenant McClure described the crime and the execution, while another officer warned of possible retaliation. Telegraph and labor news follow, including a strike threat and wage talks at United Press telegraphers. Oregon convention updates and local recovery efforts near port facilities are also reported.
