London Newspaper Tells
of Sir liartwell's Ill

that Sir Hroderlck HartweH left
England a month ago to superin
tend Hie delivery to an Americin
sydicate of his seventh and larg

Sensational evidence was Intro
duced in the trial of John Conk
lin charged with going
during the M. K. church
cileep
rvices I
the previous Sunday evening. This
prisoner would undoubtedly been
acquitted through sympathy had It j
not been for evidence proving he:
had snored so loud that he awoke
others taking a much needed rest.
The damuging admission made by
the prisoner that he had removed
an ill fitting shoe just before, re
tiring counted heavily against him.
The trial to determine the sanity,
of Lela Kox and Lena l-'urmnn also
proved Sfnsatlonal. The world fa
mous alienist, Henry MeGoldriek.
was the principal witness for the
prosecution. Judge Osborne wns on
the point of non-suiting this case
for lack of evidence when Dr. Me
Goldriek asked the defendants if
they though the business district oi
In Grande Is adequately lighted.
They replied that they couldn't see
but what the sireets of La Grande
were, just as well lighted as the
sireets of imbler and A licet
whereupon the Judge, jury and au-
lience pronounced I hem incurably
crazy. They will proimmy nave io
spend the rest of their lives in this
neighborhood.
Other trialH were equally mler
sling and when court finally ad
journed they nad a large sum oi
money on hand collected as fines
from the unlucky defendants. This
will bo used to buy lee cream and
other refreshments for the nex
meeting of the K. P.'s., with the
Pythian Sisters figutn as gin-sis.
Another novel entertainment is al
so promised.
