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

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.
