Iio noxt worked on tlio Capital Journal uh a reporter and four years ago was olected calendar clork in tho house of representatives. Then lie went io Portland and boRnu oractico of law. ITo was always addicted to tlio liquor habit. At all timos ho was com- nletolv debauched with whisky and his mind was wenkoncd by his ex c'ohsoh and his crimiinll tendencies dovolopod. Tn a Inst conversation with John 11. Cradlclmurii, telegraph editor of tho Papitul Journal, ho mado this dying stalomont: "Say, John, you know that at timos I drank too much. T want to toll you now Mint when I went into Itnlph Fisher's room I had nothing against him." Hero ho sat down and drow a map of the room whero Fisher had his offices. No Idea of Hurting Him. "I had no moro idoa of hurling him than I had of flying. I don't know jiiHt what I said, but tho first thing I know, Fishor was approaching mo with a notarial soul in his hand and apparently nhout to strike mo. II may liavo boon mistakon as to ids intentions, but thinking he was at tacking me, I pulled my gun and shot. Aftor that ovorythiug is hazy. Vniay have shot u dozon times for all I know.

There is the whole Ktory." Hoart-limiKiiiK acene. The last meeting of Finch with his wifo and raothoi-was heartrending in the extreme, At 10 o'clock the woman spent some time with him in his cell, and it was only by using forco that tho grim prison officials woro finally obliged to tear tho two faithful and loving women away from tho barred grating that closQd for ovor on tho living form of the son and husband. "Oil, my God, Jim, how can I bear itt" sobbed tho wifo of less than a yoar. "Oh, my God I My God! By son, my boh, my soul" Bhrieked tho mother ns thoy boro her away, agony showing a love thnt wns doartr to hor than life itself.

It was r hard, cruel, terrible scone that mado tbo most hardened crim inals flinch and tlw officials turn owny, sickened. Resorting to every resourco which trained legal minds commanded, Jan. Finch's fight to evade tho gnllows was the most persistent mid stubborn in tho criminal annals of Oregon. Not ono intintcsimnl technicality wns overlooked; not ono apparent flaw in Oregon's judiciary statutes but was assailod. And as a ghastly cli max to tho hopeless struggle, Mrs. Finch, wife of the condomncd man, carriod a potition Thursday to Gov ernor Bonson, asking thnt hor hus band's lifo bo spared. While sho waited at tho oxecntivo mansion for an nudionco with tho governor, work men wero completing tho gallows up on which Finch was to dio. murder it Year Ago. .Tnnius A. Finch shot and instantly killed Rnhm Fishor in tho Mohawk building in Portland at 2 o'clock Sat urday afternoon, November 28, 1008. Finch had been disbarred from prao tioing law in Oregon. Fishor wns. prosecutor for tho Or egon Stato Bar association. It is thought that Finch was laboring un der the hallucination thnt ho had been "persecuted instead of prose cuted" whon ho shot Fishor. The two had boon warm personal friends. Both woro prominent boforo tho bar, Finch, however, boctimo addicted to drink; his clientele fell off and he was brought boforo the state bar for allogod questionable practices. Whon, contrary to his expectations, Finch was suspended from practic ing for a year instead of n month, his friendship toward Fishor ehanged to hatred und tho testimony showed that ho hnd sworn to "got square." "Murder in tho first degree' was the vordiot brought in by tho jury on Docembor 30. Tho jury was out "10 minutes.
