objections urged against the indict
ment I think go mostly to the form
of the indictment. As to the form,
tbe indictment is justly open to
criticism; indeed, very severe criti
cism. But still, I think that it sub
stantially charges the offense de
scribed in section 1782, of the re
vised statutes. I think it appears
therefrom that the defendant Mitch
ell is' charged with having rendered
services in a matter or proceeding
in:which the United States waB a
party in interest, and receiving
compensation for that service while
he was occupying the office of Unit
ed States senator, Andthat, I think
isjall that is necessary for the in
dictment to charge; those are the
esrential matters. Tbe demurrer

around the long table, watched the
lace and lips of the judge as though
they would read the imuort of the
next sentence before it had been
spoken. "But, still, I think," the
court continued, slowly, "that it
substantially charges the offense
described in section 1782 of the re

be one of the most bitterly contest

courts of Oregon was la eight.
The action of Judge Da Haven in
denying tbe demurrer drags from
in front of the defense. the last bar
rier standing between it and a
speedy trial. With the demurrer
out of the way, Senator 'Mitchell
will now have tbe immediate hear
ing demanded by him several
months ago, and .which has been
delayed tnrough press , of business,
change of government quarters and
through various other causes
The case now stands out in the
open, stripped of motions and de
murrers and pleas, ready for
tbe searchlight of tbe evidence,
which will begin to shine by tbe
middle of the week to come. The
plea of tbe senator, entered yester
day in his behalf bv ex-Senator
Thurston, bv which it was contend
ed in one ward that the defendant
nao no part in tne trauas alleged in
the indictment, places tbe - bur
against anything but an immediate
hearing.- .
Judge De Haven also settled the
contention ol the defense in regard
to the drawing of the jury in an
unexpected manner, though. a sat
isfactory one, yesterday morning,
after the announcement of his deci
sion. He directed that" the draw
ing take place at once in open court
and then, in the presence of the at
torneys for the defense, those for
the government, and in view of the
spectators. Captain Sladen, clerk of
the court, drew the names one by
one, from the jury box while his
deputy wrote out the list. In this
manner were the wishes of the de
fense satisfied and all whispers of
unfairness silenced. .
When the court was called yes
terday morning, Judge De. Haven,
immediately after taking his place
upon the bench, delivered his deci
sion in regard to the demurrer ar
gued the day previous. In deliv
ering his opinion he said: . .

Athens, Greece, June 13. Theo
dore P. Delyannis, the popular pre
mier of Greece, was stabbed and
mortally wounded by a professional
gambler named Gherakaris, at the
main entrance of the chamber of
deputies at 5 p. m. today. The
premier died within three hours.
The assassin, who was immediately
arrested, said he committed the
deed in revenge for the stringent
measures taken by the premier Del
yannis against the gambling-houses,
all of which were recently clos
ed.' . '
The premier arrived at the en
trance of the chamber in a carriage.
Gherakaris approached, saluted the
premier and . opened: the carriage
door. The premier was in the act
of thanking Gherakaris for his court
esy, when the gambler' plunged a
long dagger into his abdomen, in
flicting a frightful wound. The
murderer was immediately over
powered by the attendants.
Medical assistance was immedi
ately summoned and the wounded
man was taken to a red cross sta
tion, wnere an operation was per
formed in an effort to stop tbe in
ternal nemorrnage. lnis was un
successful, and Premier Delyannis
died at 7:30 o'clock.
The news spread quickly, but it
was impossible to describe the pop
uIaTv1tfencertf8bm
ger of the crowds, which attempted
to lynch the assassin. Lynching
was prevented by the gendarme j,
who rushed their prisoner from the
building to prison.
. It is estimated that 20,000 per
sons witnessed the removal of the
body of the premier from the. red
cross station to.his late residence.
Members of the cabinet and of the
chamber ot deputies were among
the crowd, many of them weeping.
The cabinet met this evening
the residence of the president of
the chamber, and it was decided
that the body should lie in state at
the chamber until the day of inter
ment. : ;

Investigation by the police shows
that Gherakaris was recently liber

of his wife.

made tbn run from Buffalo to Chi

dead time in tbe station at Cleve

could be made. It is unquestiona

This schedule which was made

Jury in the circuit nourt before
Judge Hanna this morning return
ed a verdict of murder in the sec
ond degree against Andy Ingram, a
well-known character of Douglas
nd Josephine counties, for the
murder of William Dunlap.
JJunlap was an old-time miner
who lived alone in a cabin at Louse
creek, eight miles north of this
place. In September, 1902, he was
ound dead near bis cabin, shot
with a rifle. The cabin was turned
topBy-turvy.
Six weeks ago Lloyd Ingram, the
7-yeai-old eon of Andy Ingram,
telephoned Sheriff Lewis from Mon
umental, California, that he could
tell whokilled Dunlap. He was
told to come here and did so. : He
said that he had heard his . father
and Dodson plan the deed the
night before. The father came to
town the next day and Dodson
went hunting. The boy followed
Dodson and witnessed the deed.
That night the three went and
searched the cabin securing about
$i2 in money.. .
Monday .Dodson pleaded guilty
and Thursday Ingram was placed
on trial. Some difficulty was ex
perienced in securing a jury. ; The
case was given to the jury last
night about 9 p. m. and this morn
ing brought in a verdict as stated
above.
According to the boy's story, in
the summer of 1902 his father was
with his stepmother living on Louee
creek, about three miles from Dun
lap's cabin. During that time Dod
son lived with them and they fre
quently talked oyer the possibility
of Dunlap being possessed of con
siderable gold about his. cabin, be
cause he had been mining there for
for many years, and deliberately
planned i

sight. He saw Dodson go . to the
edge ofthe woods and hide behind
Jog.
Dunlap came out of the bouse
and, after standing in front of the
house a few moments, went to pick
up some wood, and while in the act
Dodson took his aim and fired, and
William Dunlap fell dead where he
had been standing. Dodson ned
up the canyon and after waiting a
quarter of an hour young Ingram
went ovar to where Dunlap lay and
saw he was dead, and received a
shock that has preyed upon his
mind continually ever since. -
That evening Dodson asked the
boy to take a walk, and on the way
the boy intimated to him what he
knew of the muider and Dodson
threatened him with death if be
ever told. The father did the same
thing that night.
