"Open wiilo the door nml let tlio Unlit in" is tlio slogan of the Mitchell-Coach case set for tomor row, according to the attorneys for hoth sides.

"Coach wanted to lick lis both yesterday," said Mitchell, referring to himself nml Carpenter, but the fistic encounter was nvolded. Charges and counter charges be tween Conch and Troadgold, City Attorney of llandon, linvo so far resulted In no convictions, and noth ing other than tlio uncovering of "spicy" evidence, with very Ilttlo proved.

Roy Fnrnam will probably be brought back from the penitentiary to ans wer a charge of murdering Kdna Morgan. The case attracted much attention at the tlmo Fnrnam was was Indicted on two charges, ono of murder and tho other on a btat utory crlmo concerning the Morgan girl. On tho latter chargo ho was convicted and sent to tho peniten tiary and the murder Indictment still stands against him. Thero was none talk that this was to bo drop ped, but according to District Attor ney George Ncuner, tho caso will bo bro'ight up. Ueforo Fnrnam was convicted ho was tried three times. Fnrnnm Is now at Salem serving his sentence. In tho event tho prosecuting officers dccl'do to try Farnnm on the murder charge dur ing the May term of court, he will be returned hero within the next two weeks. Xcw Kvldencc. It Is understood that tho Sheriff has considerable cvldeuco In his possession which will bo introduced In tlio event Fnrnuin Is tried on a murder charge. This evidence, it is alleged, was withheld by tho of ficers at tho time Farnnm was tried on a charge of rape. The character of tho ovldenco upon which the prosecuting officers hope to con vict Fnrnnm on a chargo of murder Is being withheld and will not be made public until the tlmo of thu trial. Neither Sheriff Oeorgo Qiilne nor his deputies would comment mi tho possibility of convicting Far nam, other than to admit that they had secured much important ovl denco which tended to Indicate that tho defendant was In tho vicinity of tho Morgan home on the night that Kclna Morgan waB lured to the barn of II.

Reamer, located somu distance from tho Morgan home, following the fire which de stroyed the barn. As soon as tne body was discovered tho officers were BUiumoued and an investigation was Instituted, lucralry about the neighborhood revealed tlio fact that l.'diia Morgan and Hoy Fnrnam had been close friends for more tlina a year, and were frequently 3ceu In each othor'K company. Thlo '.'ifor mation, together with the statomont or physicians that Kdnu Morgan was soon to become a mother brought about the arrest of Itoy Furntuu.

Tho last time ho camo around ho didn't have any money and mama shooed him awuy with a stick of stove wood." It was a pitiful talo unfolded by the Ilttlo fellow who should hnvo been playing with his marbles, that appeared now as tho head and pro tector of a family. Sick In bed from washing nnd scrubbing to cam a mcagro living, tho mother had taken to her bed, said tho boy. Ho claims a doctor was summoned, an out-of-town doc tor, who came and offered his ser vices, thereafter forcing his atten tion on tho sick woman. Repeated ly ho had appeared, said tho boy, and Hint his advances wcro Improp er. As tho protector of his mother he came to ask that something bo done, nnd ho shook his fist to em phasize the romnrks.
