C Tlittmpsoii, ii Molilalia PoltticinnTrial Was Dramatic THOMPSON' FALLS, Mont., Dec. 0. Miss Edith Colby, a newspaper reporter of this city, was at noon to day convicted of murder in the sec ond decree tn connection with shoot ing and killing A. C. Thompson, a politician, here recently. She was later sentenced to an indeterminate term of from 10 to 12 years in the iitato penitentiary. An appeal Is planned. Yesterday's session of the trial was most dramatic. Prosecutor Wheeler was Just closing his argit- Oment to the jury when Miss Colby collapsed and was carried uncon scious from the courtroom. It was Miss Colby's third outburst during the day and .ludge Clements adjourn ed court until 7 o'clock last night. The defendant burst into wild laughter and collapsed into uncon sciousness. "1 hope she died. You'll be to blame,' shouted Attorney John T. Mulligan, chief counsel for the de fense, to Mr. Wheeler. "Oh, yes! That's your play to the jury, retorted the special prose cutor. The courtroom was cleared and medical attendance summoned for .Miss Colby, who was not restored to consciousness lor several minutes. In' bis cloning nretiment Mr Wheeler warned the jury to pay no attention lo the appeals of the de fense for sympathy for Miss Colby. "I wish I could ask on acquittal for Edith Colby." said Mr. Wheeler. 0"l come from Massachusetts, and 1 would that I could stand here to de fend the good name or the women of New England. But I must ask for justice and so must you." Counsel Scores Prosecution. Ill closing for the defense Attorney Mulligan attacked Prosecuting At torney Wado Parks and Special Prosecutor Wheeler for the manner in which they conducted the prose cution. "My client passes through this stiiming ordeal only because she set out in defense of her honor, her icputalion,' said Mr. Mulligan. "I regret that in this state and in this community there is no protection for the stranger within the gates. I have wondered why a helpless woman was refused the protection that ever civilized community has offered." The defense asked the jury cither Cto aciiult Miss Colby or sentence he. J to death. Previously Miss Colby, a scream ing, struggling piece of humanity, bad been borne from the courtroom five minutes after W. It. Parks, county attorney, bad begun his ap peal for her conviction. Complicity Is Cluu-ged. In her frenzy she charged the prosecutor with complicity in a con spiracy to kill A. C. Thomas, the crime with which Miss Colby stood charged. Twice she broke out with wild charses of falsehood, and demanded Hie right to talk. The lawyer con tinued liis argument alter she had been brought hack to court, once morn controlled. H. C.

C.Mrs. Thomas, wife of the dead man, sat In the court weeping, as did Mrs. F. ,1. Coolldge, mother of the de fendant. Mother's Testimony Recalled. "We know Mr. Thomas." Mr. Parks said, "anil what do you know about Miss Colby? She has been here only a shorttime: he was here long. That Insult, recounted endlessly in this case, rests on her own words. They will play up this insult endlessly, in the appeal for sym paihy. Just one point before you con sider it. "Mrs-.

Speaking of the civilization of the islands Tuesday. Gonzales said he met too often the impression quite prevalent In America that the Phil ippines were still in a backward state. This is not so, he said, for out of eight and one-half millions of people, only the half million were un civilized. It was President Wilson, said the speaker, who at last induced these to give up their hostile prac tices, and who through the substitu tion of a civil for a military form nf .supervising government, brought them to a state of tolerence for the American Institutions. .Mr. (ion.ales is a fluent speaker and has an excellent knowledge of the Knglish language, which he says will also soon become the general language of his people. He Hays the United States has done wonders for the advancement of natives and he declares the tatter are not backward in expressing their gratitude. The natives want independence, he said, but not until it can bo put Into effect without interfering with the administration of government. So well, he said, hits the Unite. 1 States managed the affairs since their oc cupation, but ft will nut he long un til there are a sufficient number of natives educated and trained In the various positions to take the gov ernment out of the bands of this country entirely. Natives are gov ernors of the various provinces, they hold ail the local positions, and they compose the Legislature and the ma jority of the Supreme Court as well as represent the country's Interests in all the business affairs. The American schools have entered the territory even of the "head hunters" and are fast educating the children in A m erica n wavs. although the heads of the families still roam In the hills and occasionally add to their collection of heads. The speaker also said that another erroneous impression held by many Americans is ihat the Islanders are nnnu rnubncod MADE BY GLRMANS HCCHAREST'S FATE IS SAID TO BE A MATTER OF A FEW DAYS RESISTANCE OF ROCMAN 1ANS MAY CAISK SLIGHT DE LAY IN OPERATION.

Bucharest's fate is a mutter of a few days. The desperate resistance of the Roumanians will only delay Its occupation by the Germans. To the observer, the great German achieve ment in the offensive has for Its goal not the occupation of Bucharest alone, but its object is to destroy the Roumanian army and march into Uussia, perhaps with Odessa as the goal. The officers believe this is the beginning of operations by which General Von Hindenhurg hopes to bring a decision in the war on the eastern instead of the western front. The swift advance of Generals Von Mackenzen and Faikenhayu cut the Koumanians into three parts. To day's operations are expected to sew up the three holes and force the Roumanians to defend Bucharest from the norlh or evacuate the city. New Knglish Premier. LONDON, Dec. 6.

COMMITTED FROM COOS COUNTY At the Time Donnelly Was Arrested Here He Had a Number nf Rank Rooks and Checks Trans ferred to INn tlaiid. That Kred Donnelly, alias Conley, Dunn and Tim Sullivan, who wan ar rested at Sutherlin a few weeka ago m a charge of pasalng worthless cheeks in Portland and other Oregon cities, is a paroled convict from the atnte penitentiary, was the informa tion received by Sheriff George K. Quine this morning from the con aiable'a oDico in Portland. The Portland officers said that Donnelly had been returned to Salem, where he would be compelled to serve out iiis unexpired sentence. Donnelly arrived in Roseburg .ibout a month ago, accompanied by four Portland young men whom he had promised positions In CalfTornia. They were traveling by automobile .ind upon arriving in this clly regia tered at a leading hotel. Before leaving Portland Donnelly represent ed himself to be a wealthy California lumberman and claimed ho would be ible to furnish them with positions paying not less than $4 a day. Ite jause of these representations, Don nelly was able to pass n number or AorthleHs checks In Portland and Mber cities while enroute to this city. Two of tho checks, aggregating 150, were accepted by Donnelly's com panions. These checks were drawn on a bank at Oregon City and were supposed to be iu payment for Don nelly's transportation from Portland to San Francisco. When the party irrivcd In Roseburg one of the men became auspicious of Donnelly's ac tions and telegraphed tho Oregon City depository to ascerlain If he was known there. A reply was received later in the day lo the effect that Donnelly was not known there and the checks were probably worthless. Through an error in delivery the lat ter telegram was delivered to Don nelly Instead of to the original sender. When Donnelly realized that ho was under suspicion he lefl his room in the hotel ami disappeared. Sheriff 'Juine was laler notified and a search for I lie Ht i auger was instil u ted. A couple of days laler a sou of L. Dll lard. a local druggist, found n miiu'. her of checks in a barn on Main street which bore Donnelly's signa ture. These eheekii were turned over to Sheriff 'Juine, and furnished evi dence thai the fugitive had slept In Ihe Dillard barn on the night follow ing his disappearance. Sheriff O'line had almost given up hope of capturing Ihe utilising man when he received a telephone mes sage from Sutherlin to the effect that a stranger had purchased a number of cattle in Ihat vicinity and had given checks which proved to he worthless. The sheriff hastened to Sutherlin by automobile and later apprehended Donnelly as (he later was walking along one of Ihe main sheets of Ihat cily. The prisoner was (hen brought to Roseburg and upon being searched was found to be in possession of bank books and checks belonging to O. Martin, of Days Creek; Al Kent, of Roseburg; M rs. Jciierson Williams, of Looking Class, and a number of other per sons residing iu this vicinity. The (ill leers also found an insurance policy, bit nk book and checks for merly owned by the late C. J. Den ning. Donnelly also had bank j cheeks issued by depositories at Ore ; gon City, Myrtle Creek, Portland, La (irande and Knise, Idaho. Although U'lest ioned at some length by the olticers Donnelly refused lo give any informal ion regarding his past life. He maintained t hat his name was Donnelly, and denied the series of crimes charged against him. After being detained here for sev eral days Donnelly was surrendered to the Portland officers and was later (alien to that city. While in Jail there he infoi med the officers that he had held up ami robbed u woman in Chicago last .lune, as well as com mil ting ol her crimes in t hat section or the Middle West, Tele t:raiiiM weip sent to the Chicago po lice, and a reply was received to the efiect that they had no record of the crime mentioned by the prisoner. A few ia i later an official of Ihe peul leniiary recognized Donnelly as one of I he men paroled from that I nsll lution a few weeks prei iously, Donnelly was originally arrested iu Coos County on a charge of burg lary. He was sent need to an Inde terminate term of from two to seven ea rs in (he penitent la ry and had served his minimum term when he was paroled by the Covernor.
