gree. He will be sentenced Friday
morning at 10 o'clock, and will prob
ably be taken to Salem Immediately
thereafter. Janclgaj will be hanged in
the state penitentiary. The Jury wa
out about two hours, Judge McBrlde
delivering the charge about six
o'clock. The Jurors were given their
supper and deliberated an hour before
returning the verdicL
The prosecution presented a very
conclusive case against the prisoner
during the two days' trial. Through
their witnesses, a chain of evidence
surrounded Janclgaj, and there was
no escape for him. The defense
sought to establish the insanity of
the prisoner, but signally failed. The
Juror were Frank Fish, Beth Cook,
George Zlnzerllng, Eli Williams,
Thomas Warnock, William Rider,
James E. Marquam, Levi Stehman, C.
B. Bunnell, C. H. Van Hoy, Thomas
Gaffney and Gus Schuebel.

trict Attorney Tongue and Deputy
Stlpp In conducting the case, while
Janclgaj was represented by Dlmlck
t Dlmlck and J. U. Campbell.
Janclgaj Is an Austrian, and was
employed In the paper mills. He was
Infatuated with pretty Mary Smrekar,
who spurned, his advances because
Janclgaj was addicted to drink, and
she smiled on young Charles Koman.
This .filled the soul of Janclgaj with
a Jealous rage and on the morning of
Saturday, July 11, he purchased a re
volver and that day spent some time
In practice with the weapon. During
the evening he was seen In a Baloon
and on the street and shortly before
midnight be walked to the river bank
and .fired all -of the chambers of hi
revolver into the foundation of the
suspension brldge. He then walked
to the Smrekar home, climbing up a
ladder to the window of his victim'
room. He calmly aat down on the
edge of the bed, re-loaded his gun,
and fired two bullets Into the body
of the unfortunate girl who expired
Instantly.
Janclgaj rushed down the stairs
and made his escape, staying all night
with a countryman not five blocks
from the scene of his crime, and
eluded the vigilance of the posse that
scoured the city for him, until the
next morning, when he gave himself
up.

The report of the grand Jury fol
lows:
As a result of our Investigation, we
have presented 12 true bills and three
not true bills. .
At the request of the sheriff and
County Court, we. have Investigated
the county jail and courthouse, and
would make the following recommen
dations: . .
We find that the sheriff's office
needs enlarging and would recommend
that, the stairway on the northwest
corner of the building leading to the
Circuit Court room be removed and
the space be added to the sheriff's of
fice.
We find that the county jail needs
repairs as follows:
The ceiling needs to he celled with
sheet steel; the sanitation is very bad,
and the cells are filthy and the whole
jail Is in an unhealthy condition.
While the sheriff has done all he can
to keep the jail in proper condition,
it Is impossible in its present state; '
the gewage particularly needs to be
made, more adequate; the jail also
needs a padded cell for Insane pa
tients, and this ought to be supplied
at once, as it Is very necessary. We
further recommend that Iron gates be
placed on openings leading from the
corridor to South room.
We recommend that a toilet be
placed in the trial Jury room.
We investigated the city jail anu
find it cleanly kept
We investigated the Milwaukee
Club as directed by the Circuit Judge,
and find that it is unoccupied and that
It has been so for more7than a year;
a watchman is In charge, but there ia
no bar running there and from the
appearance of the place and the fur
niture and from other evidence, we
find that it Is certain that no gambling
or other crime has been committed
there for more than a year, and that
the information which the Judge had
received was erroneous.
We further recommend a fire es
cape on the west end of the courthouse.

Responsibility For 'Panics Laid at the
Right Door.
HUBBARD, Or., Nov. 18. (To the
Editor.) Yes, we sold lumber during
the panic of 1907. It would take too
long to go over our books. and give
the exact figures, but we well remem
ber that we sold all we cut and could
have sold more and we didn't cut on
our prices either. And that was a
Republican panic. We were under the
Impression that the panic was brought
about by reckless bankers In New
York and other large cities of the
East with the expectation of discred
iting the administration and to work
up a sentiment among the people at
large against President Roosevelt.
And as to the writer of those Items
not being able to buy a gang plank
with his bank account, will he please
tell us just how many dollars he is
out by having had money in the bank
at that time? The writer is of tho
opinion that he has lived through
more panics and seen more banks
wrecked than the Courier's corres
pondent has, but never before have
I Been wrecked or broken banks pay
ing dollar for dollar like the suspend
ed banks of our Metropolis are now
doing.
