Tuesday forenoon was the time of intense Interest In the Trapp murder trial, which Is now in progress In the circuit court Throughout the entire affair there has been more or less mystory about the matter and this in a measure was lifted this morning when D. R. Trapp, the accused man, j took the stand to testify for himself, says the Herald. . . The main point Trapp endeavored to make was that he ( was drugged before he did the shooting and did not know what he was doing. He said his wife had gone to Ontario a short time be fore for a vslt and the night preced ing the shooting he began drinking freely. According to his statement he drank whisky with beer chasers, and a good many of them, and : finally landed at the "Honkltonk.V an out lawry resort Just outside of Hunting ton's city lllmts. There Trapp says he drank a cocktail, after which he knew nothing. He remembers of going to a table or couch where he laid down, but aside from that his recollection is blank until officers had him on the way from- Huntington to .Baker City. Then his memory returned only for a moment, long enough for him to rec ognize Officer Hannon who had him In charge. And he dtd'not brighten after reaching the county Jail, accord ing w itu wua, j,v4- avviiu utj j lu fact, it waa when Attorney Hyde ex plained to htm what he had done that Trapp first knew things well. All the time Trapp was giving that part of his testimony each Juror sat with his head forward, grasping every word and apparently weighing It care fully In hts mind. Trarp said he was no habitual drunkard, and that he frequently went six months without taking a drink, al though he admitted that the custom among bartenders was to treat each other whenever they were off duty. He said he had no 111 feeling toward Jasperson, the man whom he killed, and -that ho remembered nothing of getting the gun. Also that he had never owned a gun and never had shot a revolver In his life before. The prisoner's evidence,- while in teresting, crossed Itself in a few places. What weight it will have with the Jury remains to be een. ' CONCERT EXCELLENT. Conried Stars Render Music Such Wr Never Heard Here Before. ; A small but appreciative audience heard the Conried Metropolitan Op era quartet last evening in the taber nacle, and were the four to , appear here tonight, the auditorium would be filled without a doubt. It is no idle boast to asy that nothing equal to itj nas ever been Heard here before, and those .who overlooked the chance to hear grand opera music have some thing to be sorry for. : Each member of the quartet Is" an exceptional ar tlstn and before the concert was end ed, those who heard it' were; unani mous In their praise. The "Soldiers' Chorus." rendered by the visiting mu sicians and assisted by the tabernacle choir was a masterly rendered number. . NOTICE Or SALE. .
