LEASIA TRIAL BEGINS
JURY SECURED AD STATEMENT
OP CASE MADE.
Defense Alleges Self-Defcnse, Pas

cuses for the KiUlner.
Martin V. Leasla, -who killed hla father-in-law.
F. H- Drews, on May 24,
Is on trial for his life in Judge Sears'
court. The prisoner appeared In the
courtroom yesterday attired In a new
suit of blue clothing, and looked well.
He was attended by his aged father.
The members of the Drews family were
present, including Mrs. Drews, her two
sons, and Pauline Leasia, the divorced
wife of the , defendant.
The day was mostly consumed In se
lecting a Jury, which was completed at
4 o'clock, and is composed of the fol
lowing named persons: E. J. Jeffery,
George L. Hibbard, George H. Lewis,
Cal Powell, James P. Baker, M. W. Hen
derson, Dr. E. O. Smith, James Mc
Brlde, X. P. Tomlinson, H. I. Searle,
J. C. McGrew and B. F. Waldron.
About 25 persons were examined touch
ing their qualifications to act as Jurors,
but were excused for various causes.
One of these, Albert Smith, was asked
by defendant's attorney, among other
-questions:
"Mr. Smith, would you care to be tried
lor your life by a Juror in the same
Irame of mind as you are In at the pres
ent time?"
Mr. Smith no doubt thinks a trial for
murder Is a very serious thing, as he
answered: "Oh, I don't know; I wouldn't
care to bo tried for my life by any
Juror."
Many others questioned disagreed in
various ways from the views of counsel
as to what constitutes the acceptable
Juror.
Several days before Leasia shot and
killed his father-in-law his wife obtained
a divorce from him on the ground of
cruel treatment. Brooding over his trou
bles, Leasia went to Drews' home at
.Peninsular Station and shot and killed
Drews. The allegation, of the prosecu
tion is that the killing was unprovoked
and premeditated, and is a case of mur
der in the first degree. In his opening
address to the Jury, District Attorney
John Manning detailed the circumstances
of the crime as he said it would be testi
fied to by the witnesses for the state.
He stated further that Leasia had threat
ened to kill the entire Drews family; he
had also threatened to murder his father-
In-law, and had once been arrested for
making such a threat, and at last he did
kill him.
Dan R. Murphy, in his opening speech
to the Jury in behalf of Leasla. said the
evidence would show that It was a case
of self-defense. He said Drews shot
Leasla In the breast, and following this
the prisoner shot and killed Drews.
"Leasla," counsel said, "thought he had
received a mortal wound, and he wanted
to die under the blue canopy of heaven
in the presence of the woman he loved;
he wished to die by her side. "When he
reached the Richardson home, where he
left the children, he fabricated the story
of the burning of the house. He knew
if he told the true story there would be
a great hue and cry. and he would be
apprehended, Mrs. Leasla stanched the
blood and covered with a towel the
wound that he had received from her
father. Leasia told her he did not want
to die in Jail." Counsel then detailed
the night capture of Leasla, and con
tinued: "Asked why he shot his father-in-law.
Leasla answered: 'Drews shot me first,
and I shot back. He afterwards made
a complete statement to District Attor
ney Manning, and made no attempt to
shield himself. He is not trying to shield
himself from the consequences of his
act. He went there to see his babes, and
he was outraged and abused, and he
was shot. He will say to you, as he has
said before, that he would do the same
thing again. He only committed the act
in the heat of passion in self-defense."
Mr. Murphy also stated that, because
of a serious accident to Leasla six years
ego, his reason was somewhat affected.
'LUMBER COMPANIES IN COt'RT.
Suit Grows Out of Quarrel Refrard-
Injr Portland Dredgring; Company.
The Pacific Export Lumber Company
yesterday filed suit in the State Circuit
Court against the Xorth Pacific Lumber
Company to recover 515,500 contributed for
a one-half interest in a dredge, to be
operated by the Portland Dredging Com
pany. 'William D. Wheelwright is man
ager of the plaintiff corporation, and E.
T. Williams, Donald Mackay and W. B.
Mackay conduct the affairs of the North
Pacific Lumber Company.
According to the allegations in the com
plaint, the difference between the parties
appears to have arisen from the fact that
"Williams and the two Mackays desire to
liold the controlling interest in the dredg
ing company. Wheelwright avers that
both sides are entitled to hold 250 shares
each, and that they only offered to turn
over 248 shares to him, leaving them with
two shares to the good. When he re
fused these terms. Wheelwright, so the
complaint states, was informed that,
while he owned one-half of the dredge,
he had nothing at all to do with the com
pany formed to operate the dredge.
The complaint states that on Novem
ber 25. 1901. the Pacific Export Lumber
Company entered into a contract with
the North Pacific Lumber Company,
wherein it was agreed that the latter
should, at its own expense, complete a
dredge, to bo entirely equipped with tools
and appurtenances necessary to carry on
the dredging business. A corporation,
was to be formed, to bo called the Port
land Dredging Company, with a capital
stock of 100.000, .and the dredge con
vcyed to the dredging company in ex
change for 550.003 capital stock, one-half
of which was to be delivered to the North
Pacific Lumber Company, and the other
half, or $25,000. to be delivered to William
D Wheelwright, manager of Iho Pacific
Export Lumber Company, who was to
pay 512.500 cash for the same to the
North Pacific Lumber Companv. The
balance of the stock. 530.000. was to re
main in the treasury of the Portland
Dredging Company, to be issued as the
business should require. The dredging
company, it Is' asserted, was organized
with E. T. Williams. Donald Mackay and
W. B. Mackay as incorporators.
It Is alleged that on December 26, 1901.
POO shares of the stock were subscribed
for by the officers and agents of the
North Pacific Lumber Company, who are
the persons just named, and Wheel
wright paid tho 512.E00 for his shares as
agreed.
In the Spring of 1902, it was represented,
so the complaint recites, that it was
desirable to put a new engine In the
dredge, which was dono at a cost of
JC000. and Wheelwright paid his half of
the bill, amounting to 53000. He after
wards demanded that ho receive his por
tion of the 500 shares of stock issued, or
250 shares, and says the defendants have
refused to deliver to him more than 240
shares, and that in response, on Febru
ary 24. 1903, he declared the contract at
an end. Wheelwright avers that he was
then Informed by his associates that he
had purchased one-half of tho dredge,
but the purchase by him was made inde
pendent of the incorporation of the Port
land Dredging Company, and he is not
entitled to 250 shares of tho stock. A
decree is asked by plaintiff for the
amount invested, 515.500. and interest.
Cotton. Teal & Minor appear as attorneys
for the plaintiff.
DISAGREE IN CRIMES CASE.
No Conviction hy Jury on Charse of
Illegml Liquor-Selling;.
The Jury in the case of William Grimes,
who was charged with selling liquor with
out license, after being locked up all
night, reported to Judge Bears yesterday
morning that an agreement was impos
sible, and an order of discharge was
made. The Jury stood 7 to 5 for convic
tion. The evidence against Grimes was
that be sold a flask of whisky to Pro
fessor Kelsey of Newberg. None of the
residents of Montavilla, where Grimes'
place of business Is, appeared against
him. This is the principal reason five of
the Jurors stood out for acquittal. The
people in the precinct have been holding
meetings denouncing saloons, but took
not enough Interest in the Grimes trial
to furnish evidence against him. The
jurors who opposed conviction evidently
thought the opposition at Montavilla to
liquor selling is not as real as it appears
to be. Grimes Is trying to get a license,
and has his money up for that purpose.
Jennon's Suit for Damaged.
The trial of tho suit of Anton M. Jenson
against the Willamette Boiler Works for
520,000 damages for personal injuries was
commenced yesterday before Judge
Frazer and a Jury. Jenson in his com
plaint sets forth that on August 29, 1S02,
he was struck by a falling steel plate,
and so seriously injured that be has not
since been able to work. He says the
accident was due to the company's keep
ing in service a defective crane and boom,
which allowed the plate to fall on him.
The defense Is that Jenson was injured
becauso of his own carelessness, and that
the crane and its attachments were all In
good order and safe to work with.

"THE DUSTY MILLER"
And White Bread.
Most millers are bitter enemies of
Grape-Nuts for business reasons, for
Grape-Nuts food Is largely replacing white
bread, for Grape-Nuts contains the whole
of the health-giving grains, while the
patent white flour In universal use today
Is made with the most healthful part of
the wheat left out.
A miller of Newark. Ohio, who has
studied the subject, says of Grape-Nuts:
"I began by using the food once a day,
then twjee a day and for the last 6
months three times a day and I con
fidently affirm that I have received more
real substantial benefit from the use of
Grape-Nuts than from all the other things
I have tried. My trouble was Indigestion
and kidney disease.
"I began to receive relief at once and
as I am a practical millwright and miller
as well I can see and understand the
philosophy of such a nutriment as Grape
Nuts and why Its use gives us such good
results. The continued use of patent flour
bread will produce injury sooner or later
because the true life-sustaining and life
giving elements of the wheat berry are
eliminated in the manufacture of patent
flour.
"My unaeked-for advice to all is to use
daily a nutriment like Grape-Nuts that
retains all the vitality of the grain. For
this very reason there is more direct
virtue in the dally use of Grape-Nuts than
In all the medicinal tonics In the world
that crowd to over-flowing the shelves of
drug stores.
"The restaurant where I take my meals
keeps Grape-Nuts on hand to accommo
date me and others who eat to live and
enjoy life and health." Name furnished
by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.
Grape-Nuts can be served in a variety
of ways from plain breakfast food to the
novel and delicious Grape-Nuts Ice
Cream. Sec the little recipe book in each
package.
