"If I have done wrong," she said, "and they wish to punish me, I sup pose that I must be punished, that's all. I did what Astro told me to do and I could not resist him. It seems pretty hard for a young girl, who really wants to do the right thing. I married Astro because ho was nice to me at first. I wanted to lead a good life. I have never wanted any thing else. I was deceived, and I cannot help it now. If the author ities seo fit to bo lenient with, me, I will go to Los Angeles with my mother and will put Astro out of my mind. "Mr. O'Kelly says he doesn't want to prosecute me. He knows that I had to do what Astro ordered. Ho says ho will spend every cent that he owns to punish Astro, however.

FOR PORTLAND; BOTR S DE M S IN NORTHWEST IN ORDER OF ISSUANCE City Attorney Goss So Decides About Warrants City Debt $60,000. City Attorney John D. Goss has decided that Marshfield city war rants must be paid in. the order that they were Issued by tho city recorder instead of in tho order that they were reglstejed by tho city treas-; urer. This means a radical .change in redeeming tho city's securities. Mr. Goss rendered tho opinion aft er carefully investigating tho city records. Ho found an ordinance that had been passed some years ago providing that tho warrants should bo paid, in tho order they were registered but the minutes of tho city council fail to show that it was ever legally passed. Consequently ho holds that tho warrants must be paid in tho order of issuance in stead of the order in which they wero registered. Woodln, McNear and Moore, the purchasers of tho city bonds, have sent Instructions hero that tho funds from tho sale of bonds must be used strictly in paying off tho warrant in debtedness incurred prior to tho spe cial election August 24 ordering the sale of bonds. They will re qulro tho cancelled warrants to bo forwarded to them showing this has been' strictly adhered to. Tho reason for this is that tho city's warrant indebtedness is con siderably over the $tf4,000, the amount for which bonds wore Is sued to redeem. Somo weeks ago, City Recorder Butler after confer ring with Treasurer R. F. Williams, certified to tho bond buyers that the outstanding city warrants total $G0,000. It Is impossible to ascer tain exactly tho amount but tho reg istered unpaid warrants indicate this amount. Just what tho unpaid and unregistered warrants outstand ing total is nearly Impossible to as certain. KANSAS GIRL ISM Miss Goldie Ingberg of Pitts burg, Victim of Fiends Last Night.
