In .the matter.of remov ing or ltalnlng the sugar factory in this city Is near. F. S. Bramwell, who was called to-Ogden Saturday by' Da- i , .i i yi'4 Eccles, has returned to La Grande and, while encouraged to a certain de gree, admits that the balance la yet swinging with no definite assurance and no specific assertion that the fac-toi-y Is to go. Exactly as planned, the sugar magnate and his lieutenants were in consultation last Saturday with Mr. Bramwelt, with the result that a detail which, can only be settled1 by a visit to Los Angeles by - Mr. Eccles. holds the balance, : -: . ' i 4 , Rolapp Favorable, General Secretary Judge Rolapp, of the Amalgamated Sugar r companies, has heretofore been adverse to leaving the factory In La Grande, but Is now convinced of the plausibility of retain ing the factory In, view , of the com ing, Irrigation. Up to the time , that My. . Rolapp "came over" Mr, Eccles was the only voice In the advisory board of jmanagers that favored leav ing the factory here for one year more as a tentative proposition, at least. three days submitting evidence in re buttal. '' ' ; "V; 'J . Dr. Glaswog,, who performed th autopsy on Carmack's body, testified there were .three . wounds, one on the left' side l&elow the nipple, the bullet penetrating the heart and emerging on the right Hide. Another followed the same course, but farther down. The liiilii won nil uio liack uk liie nvck hiiu severed the spinal cord. He declared his belief that the wound in the neck was the first inflicted. The defense holds the wounds In the body were In flicted first. s f elng thrown into a bathtub of Ice water at Eugene, in December, be cause he Was lute for dinner, Is said to be Improving.
