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

prosecutor. Joined with him in the
discussion of the Sanders County
pollticnl feuds.
.Mr. Parks was reprimanded by
.ludge Clements for his mention oi
public opinion.
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

SPEAKS BEFORE CULTURE CLUB
Says .Native Countryman Are (irate
lul to United tSates for Helping:
in Advancement or Civiliza
t ionWant Independence
In a lecture upon the Philippine
Islands, in which the .speaker credited
('resident Wilson with doing more
for the islands than any other Presi
dent of the United States, Antonio
(ionzales, aged 19, who is employed
at the 1'mpqua hotel, Tuesday afford
ed the ladies of the '!)' .Mental Cul
ture Club, which met at the M. J5.
church, with one of the most In! cr
esting features heard in some time.
(innzales has been in this city only
about a mouth, having taken t lie
position at the hostelry In order to
raise funds with which ho will ie
suine his studies next February at
the University of Orecon and ex
pects eo finish his law course in
this country in the next, three years
and will then return to his native
islands, where he will engage in his
profession and launch upon a career
of politics.
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

(By Carl Ackermnn).
PITKSCI, via Sayville, Dec. 6.
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.

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.

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

olticers Donnelly refused lo give any
informal ion regarding his past life.
He maintained t hat his name was
