R Review y,' KAKK'S TRIAL ON Libelous Charges Denied By Judge Hamilton TOO ILL TO TIIV McCLALLEN Had So'. bio to do Wish loslrnctions Judiciary's Honor Diinaad ed Prosecution That ho wiih not connecti'd. oithir directly or Imlirwtly, with the in-oii-aration nf tlie'liiHtniftlotis submit! ti by JudKt' Coke to tlie jury in the Mi-Clullen-Muhun homicide trial ami that h was too ill to preside: over the case at the tituo it was in court, were the emphatic declarations of Judge J. W. Hamilton this nioriiinp: in the pielimiiKii y examination of Jesse O. lirake, charged with crimin al libel. The examination was held in Jus tice K. V. Marslevs' court. Drake was represented by Attorney r. S. Jackson, who was retained by the defendant in place of K. L. Cannon, who voluntarily withdrew front tin case before the hearing began. Dis trict Attorney Brown represenled the Btute. Court adjourned at 11:I!0 o' clock until Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, when the state will inlrodU"e the testimony of Dr. A. F. Sether, who attended Judge Hamilton during hiH Illness. ' Drake's prosecution is the scqu'l to his communication to the Port land Oiegonlan, charging, aiming other things, that Judge Hamilton feigned Illness to avoid trying the. McClallen case and that he collabor ated with McClallen's attorneys in preparing the instructions to the jury. Witnesses called to the stand tills morning besides Judge Hamil ton were W. V. Cardwell, one or McClallen's attorneys; Assistant Dis trict Attorney li. L. Kddy. who aided Brown in prosecuting the case; John Hunter, a local contractor and .plan ing mill operator; . Sheriff tleo. K. "Qulne, County Clerk K. H. Lenox and W. A. Pettlt. a locnf newspaper re porter. Another phase of Drake's alleged libel with which the hearing 'had to do related to bis censure of the Dis trict Attorney for not placing on the witness stand at McClallen's trial Lillian Speicher. the woman who figured so prominently in the tragedy. Kvidence adduced in regard to this was that the woman was too ill to appear. In court or even give a depo sition and that her testimony would have been detrimental rather than helpful to l)ie state's .case. With the introduction of Dr. Sether's evidence tomorrow, the state will probably close. Then it will he incumbent upon Drake to prove the contents of his open letter. If he rails, in the opinion of the magis trate, he will be bound over to the grand jury. A justice of the peace has no punishing power In a case of this nature. Judge lluinlllon on Stand.

"I have never even spoken to Mr. Cardwell ahoat the case. It was my Intention to pre side at the trial, but 1 was deterred by the adxersc advice of my physi cian. Dr. Set her. Three d:iya before the May term of court opened 1 was strlckvn with la grippe, and I secured Judge (ianteuhein, of Portland, to hold a session here, convening the grand jury and Using the date for u special term one week later. 1 thought that 1 might be able to pre side at the special term, but I had not fully recovered from the effects of a high fever und !r. Set her warned mo that If I attempted to resume work 1 might Buffer a relapse that might result bitnlly. It was May 30 before 1 was uhle to leave my home. "1 eonsider"it my duty to prose cute Mr. Drake," continued the Avit ness, "not because 1 have any ill will toward htm, but for the ruuson that the judiciary should be cleared of the aspersions caBt upon it by his letter. If .Mr. Drake entertains the opinion that 1 was not 111 during the McClal len trial 1 would like to have him produce the evidence upon which that opinion is based. Lrnox Corroborates. C'ountv Clerk Lenox testified that he visited Judge Hamilton at his home twice berore the opening of court and a week after it had co-i-vened. On all three occasions lie found the Judge sick In bed. with his throat so badly affected that he talked with dllliculty. Mr. Lenox then related In detail the steps that weie taken to secure some other Circuit Judge to take Mr. Hamil ton's place on the bench. Judges (iautenbeln. Harris, Calkins and others declined, explaining that busi ness in their own courts demanded their attention. Finally Judge Coke, after having once refused to pre side, was prevailed upon to try the case. CaidweM's Kvldouce. "Judge Hamilton did uot help lo prenare the Instructions to the Mc Clallen jurv. lie did not see thein beforehand, he did not know of them until thov were of general puli'ic knowledge after Judge Coke de livered them." Such was the state ment of Attorney V. W. Cardwell at the examination. "The' instr.ic Hons," Cardwell explained, "were prepared bv myself and my asso ciates. McKnlghl and Watson. They were written in my office and I placed them In my pocket and gave 111111 to Judge Coke personally. I did not. see Judge Hamilton for two or three weeks before the trial and at no time during the trial. "Judge Coke did not give all the Instructions requested by the defense. He gave only those of statutory es tablishment. These were taken fiom the language of Supreme Judge Ilean In the case of the State against Morey. found in the 2Mb Oregon. We submitted them to Judge Cuke because we believed that they applied to the McClallen case." District Attorney Brown took the opportunity of proving by Cardwell that the state would have been the loser, instead or gainer, by Insisting on Miss Speicher's presence on the witness stand at the McClallen trial. "The state certainly had no use for Miss Speicher's testimony," said Cardwell. "She would have cor roborated McClallen and streng thened our side of the case. She was proBtrated by the shock or the homi cide and from high nervous tension. Dr. Miller, as yon will remember, testified In court that her tempera ture was 102 and that her presen -e iu court was a physical impossibility. We wanted her testimony badly. We asked Judge Coko to grant a con tinuance of the trial, but there was no certainty as to when Miss Speicher would be able to come to court and The Leader ho refused to "comply with our re o.,ist. lit also re i used to tillow any te Muouv to be taken ;'.t her bed side." Slate I'M ol Want Her. Attorney Kddy, associate of the Distii.t Attorney, testified tliat Mss Speicher was not wanted as ii witness by l hi nl all because her story wag decidedly In favor of the tl i "ma. Mr. Kddy gained this knowledge from his examination of the woman at tho Coroner's inquest. Her story, kWvii ou that occasion, was read front tin tiansiipt of the court reporter at the request of the District Attorney and substantiated the claim of the prosecution as to which side it favored. John Hunter te Mentor. Mr, 1 1 inner stated that Drake showed him tho manuscript of the alleged libellous loiter before be mailed it to the Oregotiluti.

The big livery barn of CTeat and Ike Weaver wan saved by almost superhuman efforts. A mam moth oak tree was a material factor iu shielding this building and two others did good service in protecting the I. (. O. F. building which also Includes V, A. Strong's furniture store.

The postottice building was owned by Miss Amy Pruce. I'he postoihee fix tures and equipment, owned by Post mistress Mrs. I'.

Very little was saved of the contents of any or the build ings. While there was considerable ex citement, accidents were compa ra ti vely few. Ike Weaver suil'ered a knife wound iu the leg while slashing the halter ropes of horses ill his liv ery barn In his haste to get the unl ninis out. He will be laid up for only a few days, however.
