IN CAYUSE WRECK
BUT IS UNINJURED
DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS.
WILLIAM GARDNER WAS
ON 0. R. A N. TRAIN
Mr. and Mrs, William Gardner were
much alarmed Wednesday on receipt
of a telegram from tbelr son-Inlaw,
Ernest Walker of Sumptef, saying
that his wife was on her way to visit
them. It w as probable she was on the
O. It. & N. tralu that was wrecked
near Cayuse early that morning. Mr.
Gardner went to Portland Wednesday
night to meet the passengera of that
train who had been transferred and
sent on by another train, but Mrs.
Walker was not among them. Ills
anxiety was somewhat relieved by
the dispatches received that stated
no passenger was ' seriously hurt ex
cept one unknown man who was killed.
Mrs. Walker arrived in Oregon City
at 9:22 Thursday morning and the re
union In the Gardner home was a Joy
ful one. Kii.; was on the train that
was wrecked but fortunately escaped
Injury, being In a car that did not
leave the track. However she would
care to repeat the experience. She
was thrown three chairs forward and
her baggage scattered. The passeng
ers walked over the canon and were
picked up by the relief car that took
them to Pendleton.
Mr, and Mrs. Walker went from
Oregon City to Sumpter, Baker coun
ty about a year ago. He holds a re
sponsible position in the mines near
there. She had planned a little sur
prise visit to her parents, and the
first intimation they had of her com
ing was the telegram.
NEW DEPUTY FISH
WARDEN APPOINTED
FRANK BROWN OF ONTARIO SUC
CESSOR TO H. A. WEBSTER
OF OREGON CITY.
SUICIDES BECAUSE
TAKING MEDICINE
Albany, April 11. Mrs. Snyder, wife
of an East Albany merchant, com
mitted suicide this morning by hang
ing herself. She went Into the wood
house, tied a rope around her neck
and to a rafter, and Jumped off a box.
She waa a believer In faith curef
but had been taking medicine for re
cent illness. This preyed on her mind,
she blaming herself for violating a
tenet of her faith. This despondency
was the cause of her rash act, She
was, 15 yeara of age.
The Fish commission haa appoint
ed Frank Brown of Ontario deputy
Csh warden to succeed H. A. Webster
of this city, removed at the request.
It is said, of Master Fish Warden Van
Dusen.
According to a statement of State
Treasurer Steele, the change waa
made because of friction between Van
Dusen and Mr. Webster. Mr. Steel
disclaims he made any recommenda
tion in the matter, as had been charg
ed. He understands the commission
removed Webster solely in the inter
est of harmony.
As tho entire, membership of the
board were not present at the meet
ing, it is not yet known whether the
decision Is final. Brown was recom
mended to the board by Mr. Van Du
sen. Mr. Webster is out of the city, at
Astoria, It is said to see Mr. Van
Dusen, but friends of his say the rea
son of Mr. Van Dusen's hostility is
purely personal, and started because
Mr. Webster spent time at Salem last
winter seeking the Job of master fish

self-defense east of the Mississippi
river.
"There can be logically but one of
four verdicts returned by you mur
der in the first degree, because there
was not only design, but premedita
tion; murder in the second degree, be
cause there was design but no pre
meditation; manslaughter, because
there was neither design nor pre
meditation, but merely the heat of
passion; or, lastly, "not guilty," be
cause of insanity."
Mr. Jerome sneered at dementia
Americana in this fashion:
"Dementia Americana, men, has no
place in your verdict. You swore to
take no higher law than the law of
your state.
"Dementia Americana what la de
mentia Americana, which waits and
glares at its enemy for three years
and then kills?
"It waits three long years and
grows bitter and then strikes.
"Dementia Americana that flaunts
the woman for whom it kllia through
the capitals of Europe, for two years
as Its mistress. Is that the higher law?
No. Gentlemen, the higher law does
not hinge itself under the hem of a
woman's skirt.
"Dementia Americana is that law
which puts a woman up to tell of her
shame or misfortuny, as the cas
may be to all the world In the hope
it will shield a worthless life the
people's just demand. That la not the
kind of law you awore to accept and,
if you do it, men, you violate your
oaths."
Points by Prosecutor.
Mr. Jerome contended that Tbaw'a
crime bristled with premeditation, and
he made an eloquent defense of Stan
ford White's memory. He scoffed at
Evelyn Thaw's story and sneered at
Delmas' calling her "angel child." He
charged her with meeting White time
and time again of her own will, and
said there was no evidence of White's
guilt of the crime laid to his door by
Evelyn except her unsupported evi
dence which he (Jerome) disbelieved.
He gave a scathing review of Evelyn's
stage life and called the tragedy a
"vulgar tenderloin homicide," called
Thaw a "rich illiterate" and claimed
his actions were not irrational, and
closing he referred as follows to the
Appeal to Unwritten Law:
"Mr. Delmas said he would not ap
peal to such a shadowy thing as the
unwritten law, but he ended by an ap
peal to dementia Americana which,
he said afflicted the whole nation. He
might have better adhered to his or
iginal purpose because if this man was
insane, you might acquit him.

JEROME DELIVERS
TERRIBLE PHILIPPIC
District Attorney Jerome's speech,
closing for the state in the Thaw trial,
was a masterly oration. While he
disclaimed all Intention of entering
into an oratorical contest with Mr.
Delmas, It Is seldom, as the Morning
Oregonian says, that any address more
powerful, more subtle, more logical
has ever been heard in a courtroom.
From cold logic he passed to biting
sarcasm, then invective, with here and
there a touch of pathos. He had the
closest attention of the Jurors and
spectators, including the Thaw family.
His defense of Stanford White, whose
spirit, he said seemed to be hovering
in the courtroom begging to be heard
before it was blackened forever, was
uttered with impresstveness and with
tears in his eyes.
After his opening remarks he gave
a review of the facts covering the vari
ous classes of homicide, and said:
Dementia Americana No Defense.
"If you find that this defendant was
insane when ho killed Stanford White,
it is your duty to say so In your ver
dict. If you do not say so, it Is be
cause you believe that this crime was
Justifiable. Justifiable homicide does
not mean dementia Americana; it
means self-defeuse. But when a man
sits with his head in his hands and is
deliberately shot with a pistol held
so close to him after the shooting that
the victim's own brother-in-law did not
