Jury trial was bad Tuesday afternoon in Justice Stewart'e court, and after an afternoon and evening session the jury, composed of W. T. Kame, E. N. Warner, C. I. Hutchiaon, W. T. York and F. W. Wait, found a verdiot of not guilty. The evidence aa Introduced at the trial was in substance aa follows: On Saturday of last week Mr. Ulrich, who is secre tary aud manager ol tbe southern Ore gon Pork Packing Co., instructed Dray man Shearer to go to tbe packing house and get six barrels of packing house products and bring them to the South ern Pacific depot. Mr. Shearer went lo the packing bouse and found the Blx barrels and either on one of tbe barrels or near by, a ehipping bill. This it ap peared waa the custom when goods were to be shipped to fill out tbe ahlp olncr bill and leave It with the goods. Tbe shipping bill in question called for two barrels of corned beef and four bar rels of dried shin bones. These Mr. Shearer loaded onto hie dra v and deliv ered them at the depot, tbe same being billed to Uodge, bweeney uo., ban FranclBco. The treieht cleric, L,ln Purdin. received the goods but in mak ing out his waybill could find no freight classification for "dried shin bones." Agent Lippincott, udoo being asked regarding the classification, became a little suspicious and commenced an In veatigation. Upon the witness stand he testified that upon inspecting tbe contents of one of the barrels he discov ered deer skins. Mr. Maboney, night operator at the depot, and Mr. Purdin testified to having made an investiga tion of ail four or vne tjarrsta ana louna that all of them contained deer skrro. Mr, Lit pincott notified Mr. Ulrich that he could not receive the four oarreis for shipment and Mr. Shearer took tbem away. The oarreis were the Kind commonly used for holding lard and were headed up tightly at each end and weighed about Ho pounds each. A search warrant was issued Monday and a search of the packing house and ad iacent buildings waa made but the bar rels tn question were noi louno. xne evidence seemed conclusive that deer skins had been barreled, billed as dry shin bones and offered for shipment at tbe southern racitic aepot, oui me argument whieh the defense laid most stress upon was that no evidenoe had been introduced to snow tnat wm. Ulrioh Der8onallv made tbe shipment but that instead, if such shipment had been made, or attempted, it waa made by tbe Southern Oregon Pork Packing Company, by Wm. Ulrioh as their agent, and again defense dwelled long upon tbe faot that Win. Ulrich, person ally, did not transport the skins from the packing house to the depot. Of oouree theBe were only skirmishes made by tbe defense, but they served to intro duce technical law points, upon whioh points the jury undoubtedly based meir verdiot of acquittal. Tbe questions, which, in TliE MAIL'S opinion, ought to have been oonaldered, are : Did the Southern Oregon Pork Packing Com pany instruct wm. Ulrich to attempt tbe snipment oi aeer 8Kinr ana aia air. snearer transport coe aeer sains without orders from Mr. Ulrich? If the company did not so Instruot and Mr. Shearer did not transport with out orders from Mr. Ulrich, then neither tbe company nor Mr. Shearer is guilty but someone la guilty wool" The Prosecution was oonduoted by Distrlot Attorney Watson, and the de fense by Attorney Wm. M. Colylg. I want to let the people who suffer from rheumatism and solatloa know that Chamberlain' Pain Balm relieved me after a number of other med alnes and a doctor had failed.
