HUMPHRY BROTHERS GUILTY OF MURDER FIRM BQIEf AT CORVALLIS Gorge's AsserbM Tht He Wis it Yncili When Mrs. Griffith Was KIM Disprove it Trial Assistant Secretary of State Opposes Chinese Policy 'AMBROSE ESTATE HDRS FACE ANOTHER BATTLE IN COURTS CORVALI.IS, Or., March 19. Statements of George and Charles Humphrys professing their Innocence of the murder of Mrs. Elisa Griffith, hnvo caused considerable comment among citizens here who talked with the Humphrys during the period of their arrest and before the beginning of their trial in the Circuit Court. There are few. If any, people In Corvallls that believe the Humphrys brothers aro innocent, and a number havo signified their desire to go to Salem next Saturday to witness the execution. lleorge Humphrys now claims he was at Yoncalla at the time of the murder nnd says he can prove It, but testimony was I ntroduced at the trial, and without contradiction, that provts the contrury. A dozen or more persons were at tbe Moses store In Philomath at tbe time the murder was discovered and observed scratches on the person of lieorge Humphrys and also that he seemed little or not at all concerned about the mysterious death of the woman. Relative to the alleged confession of George Humphrys that ho killed a man named lmmrose at Yoncalla and another at Dallas, no confession was ever inad: by him. His brother Charles told that lleorgu had com mitted the crimes, but George flatly ai-d forcibly denied the allegations. Reports have been circulated that because proof could be Introduced to how that George Humphrys could not be the murderer of the Dallas anil Yoncalla men be was therefore Hot the murderer of Mrs. Griffith. These reports are without foundation In view of the. Tact that George 'Humphrys (lid not confess the mur der of anyone except that of Mrs. Griffith. .

A heavy snowstorm began this morn ing. Tho weather bureau predicts a veritable blizzard before night, with high winds and colder weather. Tha snowfall is general throughout north ern Colorado. Tho mercury is fulling rapidly. Tbe family legal battle over tbe estate of the late A. T. Ambrose, of Yoncalla, received another chapter this morning, when Attorney W. W. Cardwell, representing Eugene (Dick) Ambrose, filed a suit In the Circuit Court against the other four children of tbe deceased and Doctor George E. Houck, who acted as guar dian of the deceased during the last two years of his life. The defending heirs are James and N. A. Ambrose, urs. josepnine wise and Mrs. Lena Long. Tbe suit asks for the cancellation of a deed executed by Eugene in favor of his father to 84 acres oi land near Yoncalla, estimated to be worth about $4000. The elder Am brose was the original owner, but deeded It over to Eugene. Litter, a prospective sale to a-third party who would not accept a deed from Eu gene caused Eugene to make out a reverting deed, but tho prospects for the sale dwindled and tho deed was not filed by Eugene. Then, tho com plaint alleges. Doctor Houck, by mis representations, secured tho Instru ment from Ambrose's attorney and had it officially recorded, thus throw ing the title back into the nnme of Eugene's father. If the court grants the prayer of the complaint, It will give Eugene ox elusive ownership of the 84 acres of land Involved and thereby prevent distribution of that portion of the estate among all five heirs on equal terniB, as provided for in a will ad mitted to probate by County Judge Wonncott a few days ago. Eugene tried to prevent probation of this will on tho undisputed ground that his father executed It while under guardianship. Ho also presented a second will, antedating tho other one and making him sole devlseo of the estate. He also claimed to hold a third and final will executed by his father and repeating tho terms of the first one. This one, Attorney Card well says, will be filed with the Coun ty Court lomorruw, propertly veri fied. Oilier snils Filed.

THAT IS A QUESTION OF BRAIN It has got to be understood. Alexander says. "Why Is II?" He was asked, and smilingly he replied: "Ills because It Is the only business that carries 100 por cent watered stock.". It Is worse than beer business, because It melts away and a man hasn't got oven a headache left, only molted water.
