io, TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TTJESDAT, MATT 18. 1920 . HOWELL BOY FLEES; VENGEANCE FEARED Had, Acquitted of Girl's Mur der, Is Whisked Away. BITTERNESS IS REPORTED Friend of Victim and: Family Hate Threatened lAte of Suspect, ! Declares Defense Attorney. T7ifhln an lour from the time Harold Howell, 18-year-old Bandon youth, had been acquitted of the charge of murdering Lillian Leuthold, lie was whisked out of Coquille d ur ine Ihe early morning: hours of Sun day and taken to Marshfield to es cape the vengeance of the dead girl's friends. The etory of the boy's wild night vide after more than eight months of Imprisonment was brought to Port land yesterday by John A. Collier, wno was eent to Coquille by the Oregon Prisoners' Aid society to assist in the defense of the boy. "Bitter factions have eprun,g up as result of the killing of the Le-uthold girl and the arrest and prosecution of young Howell for the offense," said Mr. Collier upon his return. to Port land. "friends of the girl and her family have made open boasts that. should the jury free him. they would kill him. and for that reason it was deemed absolutely necessary to spirit mm away from that vicinity. Howell Believed Innocent. After a thorough Investigation of fhe case, both before and during the' trial, Mr. Collier became absolutely convinced that the boy was Innocent, despite the damaging chain of cir cumstantial evidence which the prose cution had woven about him. "It was about midnight Saturday night that I .went to the Jail to tell Harold good-bye and I also him that It looked like the Jury would disagree for the third time. I told him I was Borry that the Jury was etlll out, but it looked almost Impossible at that hour for them to reach an agreement. '""When I told him of my fears he looked at me in an earnest manner and wanted to know if -he could not force the prosecution to try him for the fourth time, instead of dismissing the case. Appeal Regarded as Honest. Ho said to me: "I don't want this case to close until they show abso lutely that I am Innocent- I don't want to get my freedom unless the Jury decides that I am not guilty. "Any boy who is only 16 years old and who expresses sentiments such as these, to my way of thinking, is not guilty of murder. It sounded to me like the honest appeal of an inno cent boy, and convinced me more than any other one thing' that be Is not guilty of the murder of Lillian Leuthold." Mr. Collier said that because of the bitter feeling between the rival fae tions at Bandon, the attorneys and relatives of the boy had decided to keep him in hiding for the remainder of this year, and) despite the fact that a Jury has pronounced him innocent he will be unable to return to his borne for more than six months. Boy Remarkable Witness. He is now on & farm some place in Tamhlll county and in the care of cloxo friends of the family. Joe Day, a 7'ortland detective ser geant, who attended the trial at the instance of a wealthy Portland man who became Interested in the boy asserted yesterday that the Jury could have done nothing else under the evi dence submitted. "I would not undertake to say ab solutely that Howell did not kill the girl, but from tho evidence presented at tho trial I 'believe the boy should be acquitted," he said. "I never in my life saw ouch a remarkable wit ness as young Howell." E. O. Spitzner, George Ingram. John Claire Monteith, George Wllber Reed, Carl Denton, Frank Eichenlaub. W. W. Graham, F. A.

It takes the form of a photoplay entitled "The Girl of the Sea" and lis dominating leaiure is the mar velous scenes taken under the surface of the ocean. It has a romantic plot. but the plot has been made to weave about the submarine . views, each of them extraordinarily interesting and each wonderfully beautiful. The beauty, however, is in some stances overpowered with the horror of an octopus, equally interesting and marvelous. Life in the South Sea isianda forms a minor but attractive item of the picture. The plot deals with a girl, one ot three survivors of a shipwreck, and the son of the captain of - the ill fated vessel. Foul play with a gold mine and a group of pearls as the stake cause the ship's wreck and later years the captain's son goes to the same waters to find some proof that will clear his father of the guilt. He finds on a desert island I just one human Inhabitant the girl who bad been washed ashore and who j had been the only witness of the murder which occured just before the vessel was wrecked,.
