To justify in the minds of the jury
the statements made in tho alleged
libellous articles directed against l'
V. Wool ley, by attempting to show
that he used his position of school di
rector as a medium to obtain business
for the hardware iirm to which he
belongs, is the endeavor of the attor
neys for the Phundcaler in the damage
case against that paper which is being
aired in the circuit court here. The
specific transactions alleged contrary to
law, are that Mr. Woolley 'a iirm ac
cepted a contract to install the present
hot air svstem, in the high school
j building, that the tirin submitted a bid
ftir doing the plumbing work, and
that they have frequently furnished
supplies to both the public and hiirh
schools in this city. The Plaindealer
managers assumed entire responsibili
ty for the article referred to and
would not divulge the name of iti
author. Therefore the hearing was
devoted almost entirely to tho groucds
upon which the allegations c' the
article are s.Ud to bo founded.
tho manner of letting- the contract,
which the directors asserted was
regular in all respects. As far as the
evidence seemed to show tho proceed
ings anent the award of this contract
was as follows: The advertisement for
bids called for a hot water system and
three bids were submitted therefor.
When the bids were opened, Mr. Me
Pher3on, who had not submitted a bid.
appeared before the board of directors
with a proposition to install a hot uir
sy3tem for heating and vontillating,
which he claimed was far superior to
the proposed hot water system. Ik'
called attention to the great number of
schools in which this hot air system hail
been installed, one of which is the
Eugene High Scho '1, which he re
quested the directors to visit, in
voking their "right to reject any or a!!
bids," the directors made a trip to lv.i
gene and as. ertauie.l that the hot air
system was all thut Mr. McPherson
claimed for it. Thereupon, without
roadvertising for b.ds on the newly
answer from the witness, but the rul
ing of the court prevented. Mr. Con
ner was then oxcused and a look of re
lief became visible on several faces in
the court rooom.
Mr. Marstore succeeded Mr. Conner
on tho stand. Ho gave "export" teRtl
mony in regard to the oils used in the
paint on the high school building,
claiming it was inferior quality. The
oil, he said, was furnished by Church
ill & Woolley, along with other sup
plies, which statement Mr. Woolley
made no attempt to douy.
J. M. Bridges, of the plumbing Iirm
of Bridges & Marsters, testified that his
tirm, and not Churchill & Woolley, re
ceived the money fordoing the plumb
ing work and installing tho heating
plant in tho new high school. This
work was orlgnally awarded to Church
ill and Woolley under a contract with
the McPherson Company, which
furnished the plant. The contract was

after rcjedii.g bids on a hot water
system of heating for the school, ac
cepted a proposition from the W. G.
Mel'heraon Company, of 1'ortland,
whereby the latter was permitted u
install a hot air system for heating and jftivt'
ventillatine the school, without other
persons havinu been giving an oppor
tunity to bid thereon, that thiough a
transaction Mr. . Woolley received a
commission fur installing this plant and
doing plumbing work, using material
from tbe hardware store in which Mr.
Woolley Is interested (the t of Churchill
& Woolley); that it is significant that
Mr. Woolley was opposed to a hot atr
system of heating until aftm- he had a
conference with Mr. McPherson. In
support of thcirallea'ioo that Church
ill and Woolley received a commission
from the W. G. McPherson Company
for installing the heating plant, the de
fense produced a contract to that c fleet
between the parties aforesaid: but the
contract appsared tohae been assigned
by Churchill and Wool ley to the local
plumbinsrlirmof Bridges and Marsters,
the defense claiming, however, that
Mr. Bridges was really in the employ
of Churchill and Woolley at the time.
