Adams defendant a attorneys in
the case of the state against Frank
Guglielmo rested their case and
without argument left it ia the
hands of the court and jury. Their
action came as a surprise to Dis
trict Attorney Manning, who bad
not expected that the case would
get to the jury until today. - ,
Interesting only in its sudden
ness, it was the sharp termination
of the trial of a self-confessed mur
derer so plainly and indisputably
guilty that even the audience had
crown weary of the blunt and
bloody details oi tbe crime, a rang
Gulielmo, a young Italian saloon
keeper, was accused of the murder
of Freda Garacio, 16-year-old
daughter of an Italian laborer re
siding on Harrison street. Gug
lielmo ia a fit of jealous rage be
cause she had withdrawn her prom
ise to marry him, went to her bouse
and shot the young girl dead where
she stood working at the ironing
hoard id her motner's kitch6n.
Under such circumstances it was
not surprising that 30 minutes af
ter the jury left the court room
word was sent in that they had ar
rived at a verdict. At 10 minutes
after five o'cteck Foreman H. C,
Coleman handed thejury's finding
to Judge Cleland, Guglielmo, with
his eyes cast down, his lelt band in
his pocket and perspiration rolling
trom bis lorebead, stood up ana
listened to the reading of the ver
dict; which pronounced him guilty
of murder in the first degree. The
only penalty is banging.
His a. o teys asked tbe court 1U
days in wbich to move for a new
trial, and this was granted.
In the number of witnesses for
tbe defense yesterday afternoon the
only surprise occurred when Mur
phy called the accused to take the
witness stand. Guglielmo complied .
His face took oo a dull red hue ashe
faced tbe crowd, and he could bare
ly speak in answer to questions by
his attorney. ; Repeatedly he was
ordered to speak louder, but
throughout the examination neith
er the court, tbe : district attorney
nor the jury-were ' 'able-. to under
stand more than a fraction of what
he said. A number of letters from
Freda was shown him and he iden
tified themas having been brought to
him by his messenger. , Some of
these letters his attorney read to
the jury. All were filled with af
fectionate phrases. In one written
a few days before the writer's death
she used most endearing terms,
declared she loved him and always
would, and wished that he might
be with her all the time; that she
had spoken to her mother about
his coming to the house and they
both agreed that he should come
once a week, on Saturday night,
but that she would go out two or
three times a week and they could
meet.
She referred to some one as an
"old fool," and said that Frank
ehould not come to the house often
owing to this unnamed person's op
position. In another letter she re
ferred to her sister Margaret as a
fool, and deplored her opposition to
Frank. With these exceptions the
letters were mild, loving and well
worded, and reflected only the pure
love of an innocent young girl.
Each letter was signed "Miss Fre
da Garacio." Attorney Murphy af
ter submitting the letters as evi
dence without objection from the
state, read them to the jury,
water. The boat ' was constructed
especiall j for the Upper Willamette
trade and is remarkably roomy for
a craft of her size. ' Not , only is
there a large extent , of space for
bulky cargo oa the lower deck; but
the cabins and staterooms up above
are of exceptioal size. Capt. Graham
has fitted op the boat with a spe
cial view to the comfort oihis passen
gers and has ! made many innova
tions that will be appreciated by
them. Among the features of the
boat in the mechanical department
are the electric plant and the steam
capstain and hoisting apparatus.
Especial pains were also taken to
make tbe or art ;s of the crew
! comfortable. Another good idea is
tbe sanitary arrangement of the gal
ley and pantry, which will permit
an odorless at
mosphere net usually found in such
departments.

iElizabethtown, the county seat of
Essx, in the Adirondaoks, possesses a
comedy jail, according to tbe Philadel
phia Ledger. It ia small, having- win
dows secured by wooden bars and a
jailyard inclosed by. a solid fence of
three-quarter-inch boards, which a
healthy male could push over with his
shoulder. But the prisoners rarely, if
ever, attempt to escape. Some good
stories are told by Judge Kellogg-,
Judge Hand and other residents. It is
a custom to allow the prisoners out
on parole, so that they may cut the
grass on neighboring lawns, do gar
den work, or repair roads for the vil
lage or county. Recently one prison
er, who should have returned- at eight
o'clock, did not apply for admission
until nearly an hour later. The war
den angrily demanded to know - the
reason, and added: "Don't let this
occur, again, or I will not allow you
to come in. I lock the door at eight
o'clock, and won't open it in the future
for-you.'. ..Another accused .'-of and
awaiting trial for manslaughter; over
stayed his parole and pleaded-as an ex
cuse, that as it was Saturday he
thought he wQuId go and spend Sun
day with his wife, returning to the jail
on Monday momintr.
rTokiOi July 3. The Vladivostok
squadron eluded Vice-Admiral Ka-
mimura's squadron eastward of the
Island or 1 au Friday . night in the
darkness. : A drizzling rain and fog
favored the. KoBaian veEsels. The
two squadrons met. early in the ev
ening, the Russians being north of
Iki Island and the Japanese south
of Tsu Island. They were ten miles
apart. .. - :;- - ' ; '- ,;.
Ihe Rossi&ns bolted to the north'
east when they were discovered by
vice-Admiral Kamimura. The lat
ter chased them at full speed. ' The
Japanese torpedo boats steamed a
bead and entered within the range
ot the Russian guntv v The Rus
sian vessels vigorously , shelled the
J apanese torpedo boats.- The firing
explained tbe cannonading heard
on Tsu Island and gave rise to the
belief that a general engagement
was in progresss. - -0 ;:
Vice-Admiral Kimmura gained
oa the Russian ships, and was only.
five miles in the rear when sudden
ly, at 9 p. m., all the Russian ves
sels' extinguished their lights and
disappeared in the darkness. ' At
that time the Japanese' torpedo
boats were pressing the Russians,
who - had been .utilizing ' their
searchlights!" The torpedo boats
failed to get close - enough, ttthe
Russian'Equadron to discharge tor
pedoes" iy " "
The obiect of the recent Russian
naval movements is not clear
ly understood here. It is suspected
that both Russian squadrons hope
to seek refuge in a neutral port of
China and claim protection. Kai-
chou, Cbeefoo and even Wei Hai
Wei are mentioned as their destin
ation. ' The Japanese contend that
they are not entitled to neutral pro
tection under the circumstances
They deny the case is similar to
that of the Russian gunboat Man
jur, which was at Shanghai . when
hostilities commmenced. Ihe en
try of the Russian warships into
either Kaichou or Wei Hai Wei
would prove embarrassing ts the
governments in control of these
ports.

Notice.
All persons using water for flowers,
lawns or garden will oblige the Company
by turning off the water promptly at nine
o'clock. While we keep steam up all
night we do not keep the pumps running
all night, nor are we expected to. We
quit pumping between ten and eleven at
night, leaving the tanks full, When
number of hose are allowed to run all
night there is little water left in the tank
by morning. Should there be a fire,
which is liable to occur any night, there
would be but little water for the occasion
and if there was there would be no force
to fight fire with, either from tank o

Albany, Or., July 2. State Game
Warden J. W. Baker is authority
for the 'Statement that hunters
may kill Chinese pheasants this
year during the open season with
out fear of prosecution. At the last
session of the legislature a bill was
introduced to protect the pheasants
until October 1, 1906. This bill
was reported to have passed both
houses, and people had given up the
idea of killing pheasants for two
years, when it was announced that
officers of the lower house, in going
over and correcting the records of
the session preparatory to sending
them to the printing office, had dis
covered that the bill did not receive
a majority of all the members elect
ed to the Houee of representatives,
and hence failed to pass. 1
. When the secretary of state sent
the bill to the printing office, he in
dorsed it on the statement of the of
ficers of the House who discovered
the mistake, and this statement
appears as a note to the bill, with
out other comment.
This proved unsatisfactory to
gunsmiths and ammunition men,
who did not know whether to order
stock forthe summer pheasant shoot
ing. Accordingly, one of them

whereas, these headstrong venture- '

to buy the boat, laying in , a etock
of bacon, coffee, pans, kettles , sea

To Glennie also fell the taek of -
persuading his father to consent to ;
the project a consent wbich was .
given when the father, formerly a .
railroad man of Pendleton, but now .:
a prominent wholesale commission
man of this city, decided that his :
headstrong son - would : make the
venture whether he ' got - parental
approval or not. .
The boys, their plans well under
way, moored the little craft be
neath the Jeff ei son street bridge
June 23, and hand-over-hand low,
ered their small stock of supplies
by ute of a rope. The loading
took most of the day. Next morn
ing the lads induced the owner of a
small naphtha launch to give them
a tow to the mouth of the Willam
ette. When last seen by any Port
land man they were sailing down
the Columbia Monday morning. At :
that .time everything was going
nififilv.
Twice since the departure of the
little ctaft,' which iB named "The
Portland" Mr. Caylor has received
letters from his son. One of these
communications from St. Helens
was mailed at that, town on the
25 th. It contained twenty-five
woras ana saia everything was
o.' k.
Regarding the brave undertaking
of his son, Mr. Caylor said:
"Glennie is large for his age
has always been strong and seemed
born of adventurous spirits. Always
bas he longed for the sea. Up to
a little more than a week - ago he
had been working with me. One
afternoon he quit work and said
he was goicg to San Francisco,
was going to make the trip in a
small boat; and that in San Fran
cisco he proposed to re-stock and
make the trip to the Hawaiian
islands.
"For a long time we talked the
matter over, and I tried to dissuade
him, but my words were in vain.
Reluctantly, I gave him the money,
and I did so because I knew his dis
position would cause hirn t go with
out my consent if be could not go
otherwise.
"It is true that he i- only 17 years
of age, but I believe he is perfectly
able to take care of himself. He
said it was Honolulu or bust. God
knows, I hope he will come out sll
rignt."
It is believed tha hoys are now
at ABtoria waiting a favorable chance
