Prosecution Depends Upon Circum stantial Evidence to Convict Slay er of Smith, Who Left Widow and Two Little One. Tho trial of Curtis Helvey, the young man who shot and killed Geo. W. Smith last Juno in Carus, came up for trial In the Circuit Court Wed nesday, mid from all appearances, a verdict will not 'be reached till Sat urday. Self defense Is the grounds In which the defense I basing its case, whllo tho state, by the Introduc tion of a strong line of circumstantial evidence, hope to prove that the kill ing or Smith wa a cold blooded delib erate murder. The first day wa taken up entirely with tho selection of Jurymen and the presentation of their side of the case by attorney for each side. All day long the visitors' portion of the Circuit Courtroom Is crowded by those interested In the case, relatives and Intimate friends of the two young men about whom the case revolves, who reside on adjoining farms in Cams, are well and favorably known all over that section, so crowds of out-of-town people are In attendance. The caso for the state Is being con ducted by District Attorney E. B. Tongue of Ilillsboro, and Deputy Dis trict Attorney Uvy 'stlpp. For the defense, George C. Brownell and Gor don E. Hayes are appearing. A good many witnesses have been summoned by both sides, each of which Is confi dent of securing the verdict The choosing of the Jury was not completed till 3:30 Wednesday after noon, after two panels bad been ex haunted and a portion of the third used. The questions of capital pun Ishment and the conviction of a man of murder In the first degree on cir cumstantial evidence beyond a rea sonable doubt (as a reasonable doubt should be defined by the court) were the main causes for the excusing and challenging of Jurors. Six talesmen were challenged by the defense, three by the state, and four were excused for cause. The Jury finally empaneled to try the case Is as follows: Fred Cross, W. V. Everhart. F. C. Burke, E. E. Judd. Fred Gerber. O. F. Naef, I. D. Larkln. Alison Baker. S. M. War nock. Bud Thompson, Charles Thomp son and C. D. Robeson. Deputy District Attorney Stlpp pre sented the opening argument for the state, and he told the circumstances of the shooting us described by wit nesses who arrived on the scene Im mediately after the shooting." He told other facts in connection, and stated, that by the Introduction of strong circumstantial evidence, the prosecu tion hoped to prove the homicide to bo a deliberate murder. In presenting the case for the de fense. George C. Brownell did not de ny the fact that Helvey did the shoot ing. hut Instead that he did so in self defense, as he was unable to run on , . ,ii 1 I i r H , i - ! 'V ; L DR. W. E.

The Gregory brothers came here 15 years ngo and the latter ob tained the teasle farm of J. N. Saw tell at Molalla. S. E. Gregory has just disposed of his ranch, 57 acres, with the building and 25 acres ot timber, going to Noah Chrlstner. of Eugene, for $130 per acre, and 120 acres being purchased by Herman Sniiih, of Aurora, for $30 an acre. The new owners will not attempt teasle raising but will confine theii labors to general farming. Mr. Gregory Is going to the Palouse coun try in Washington, where he believes the opportunities for successful tens lo growing are better than here. He will be accompanied by his wife and six children. He was In Oregon City Monday with his wife and eight of his children. They have nine, the eldest son being away. TRAIN SERVICE TOO SLOW. Silverton Asks for Renewed Local Transit to Portland. GEORGE SMITH, who was killed at Carus by Curtis Helvey, and th widow of the murdered man, with her to children, Flossie, aged fou years, and Irvin, aged two years. Residents of Clackamas precinct have petitioned the State Railroad Commission that the Southern Paci fic be compelled to reinstate the Sil verton local service between Portland and Silverton. The petitioners state they do prac tically all of their business in Port land, that their children attend school In Portland, und that many Portland business men resldo in Clackamas. They state the only train now avail able is the Ashland local, and that is seldom, on time, and, ns there is no telegraph service at the station, the residents are often compelled to wait from half an hour to six hours for this train. to condemn property needed for tho plant. Under title held by the Port land Railway, Light & Power Com pany to the present locks, which nf fects water power at the Willamette Falls, the flow of the entire river at that point is privately controlled, but it Is the opinion of many that the Gov ernment can insist on sufficient water being available for navigation pur poses. In Tact, such a ruling has been given by the United States Attorney General. In preparing for the new locks the Government cannot occupy property above tho low water line, unless re sorting to purchase or condemnation. Should the undertaking be started when further appropriations are made by Congress, there Is sufficient money available from tho last rivers and harbors bill to finish the preliminary work. During the period of construc tion tho present canal would be open to navigation. Immediately on the completion of the Government plant the embargo placed on nroducts mov ing up nnd down tho Willamette will be lifted nnd tho task of locking steamers through will be reduced to about the snme tlmo as that required In the Cascade Locks.
