ANOTHER TRIAL SUPREME COURT SAYS, ER ROR WAS COMMITTED IN TRIAL OF JENNINGS. J. Corvallis, H. WARMS. Oregon Josephine Ciunty Youth Convicted Tof Killine Father Gets Anoth ; er CbaDce for Life. . Salem, Or., Nov. 21. In the oase of the etate of Oregon, respondent, against Jasper Jennings, appellant, an appeal from Josephine county, H. K. Hanoa, judge, of the lower (court, is reversed by Judge Hailey. 1 Jasper Jennings and his sister Djra were jointly informed against by the district attorney of the third judicial district for the alleged kill ing of their' father, Newton N.. Jen nings, September 7' i903, in Jose phine county. In January, 1906, jasper was tried separately, con victed of murder In the first degree and sentenced to be hanged. He appealed to the state supreme court - rive assignments 01 error are specified. Tnere being error in the admission of the opinionated testi mony of Witness Wickerabam, the judgment of the lower court will be reversed and a new trial ordered, says the opinion. .Wickersham was one of the first persons to ar rive at the house after the discovery of the homicide and was called as a witness for the state at the trial. The court holds it was an error to permit witness to give his conclu sions as to the place from which the ebot was fired. He should have been asked to detail conditions as they were aud the lury allowed to draw its own conclusions lrom the facts detailed.

Early, superin tendent of the Mount Hood railroad, offered a reward of $500 for the ar rest and conviction ot tbe person or persbnB who, attempted to dynamite its train Sum day night, ihe only reason that the attempt was unsuc ceesful was the fact that the dyna mite was frozen and did not explode, lo all 20 sticks 01 powder were placed ou the track, five of which were laid across tbo rail and the rest in bunches on each v side. ' At present there is said to be no clue The discovery was made by a car penter Sunday morning oa his way to work, and he found the pile of dynamite in a deep cut near what is known as raasch S bridge. As soon as possible he communicated with Mr. Early, who cautioned him to keep quiet, and in company with an offioer visited the spot and afterward made an investigation in the neighborhood to ascertain if aoy one bad been seen in the vicinity of tbe plate duriDg the day. The powder uetd was what is known as No. 1, has a much higher explosive quality than that usually employed by ranchers in blowing out stumps and is used most in railroad con struction. . It is said that no dealer in Hood river keeps this variety of explosive, aod that enough of it was 00 the track to have blown tbe train to atoms. After an unsuccessful attempt to discover any evidence that 'would lead to arrest, Superintendent Early decided to publicly offered ae ward. He will not say that he has no sus picion, but says he will not impli cate any one until he is more fully bB.tis.Oed of guilt. When tbe train passed . over the big buDcb of dynamite it was dark, and the trainmen knew nothing aoout me anair until yesreraay when they were told of their narrow escape. . 1 ne train consisted of a mixed one, with a passenger on Ihe rear end in which there were 2o or Ba passbngers. I be point where tbe power was placed is a lonely one, and cannot be seen lrom tbe surroundiDg coun try. DIED FROM POISON STRYCHNINE FOUND IN MRS CREFFIELD'S STOMACH. Salem, Or , Nov. 2I. That ; the state of Oregon has not a dollar of debt of any kind, that every : war rant has been paid : when presented within the past two years and that every county except Malheur has paid its state taxes when due, are facts set forth by the; biennial re port of State : Treasurer Moore, which was made public today. Among the important recommen dations made by the etate treasurer are, that the inheritance tax be amended so as to apply to estate of $5,000 instead of estate of .$lo,ooo, and that the exemption of $50,000 to direct heirs be' reduced to $2s,ooo. Mr. Moore believes that the income from tbe inheritance tax could thus be douqled. The revenue thus de rived in the last , two years was $38,481.61. It is aleo recommended that, in view of the two tax laws enacted under initiative last June, so inheritance tax department be created, similar to the corporation department, under the supervision of the State Treasurer. . The ether recommendation made by the treasurer is that the act of 19o3, requiring relatives to pay $10 a month for the maintenance of in sane patients, if able, be repealed. Huntington, Or., Nov. al. Be cause, with the aid of a supposedly spurious check, the bunkoed local saloon keepers out of a large-sized "jag," and connected with a number of traveling bags which did noi be long to him, Tony Peterson a well known character of Baker City is under arrest here. Peterson, upoo his arrival in Huntington Jast night, made a round of the saloons. He had in his possession a check for $100. This he offered in paymeuts for drinks which he ordered, but it was refused in each instance, the banks being closed and the bartenders doubting its validity.; continued on page 4. - Mate Did Not Commit Suicide Coroner Accepts the Re Port of the Commission. Other News. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 0. De spite the fact that Dra. Ward and Rubenstein . formerly reported to Coroner Carroll this af ternoon that Maud Creffield died from strych nine poisoning acd that the coro ner had accepted ' the chemists' re port to mean she committed suicide, Esther Mitchell persists that Mrs. Creffield did not kill herself, Misa Mitchell challenges the truth of the coroner's findings. When told of tbe result she said: ' ' - "Maud never took poison; we were very intimate and, knew each other's innermost eecrets. If Maud had p anned to take poison, I . cer tainly would have known about it, and she never told me anything of it. : i : ; r "Maud Creffield believed suicide was cowardly and always insisted that she could not lake her own life. I do not believe ; she could have changed her views. It would have been impossible for Maud to have taken poison without my knowing it, unless she did it that night when she went out to take a footbath. She was only gone a few minutes and this was the only time she was out of my sight. She cer tainly did not take the poison when I was around." r Mae Hurt, sister of Mrs. Creffield, and Mrs. Levins called at the jail this atternoon to see Esther Mitch ell. Mrs. Levins bad seen Mrs. Creffiield tbe afternoon before, she died. "I saw Mrs. Creffield, but certainly I did not bring her any poison," said Mrs. Levins. "Maud Creffield did not want poison. . We bad talked several times of suicide and Mrs Creffiield always said that self-destrnctioo was cowardice. But for the fact thai it was cowardly and that God had forbidden ber to commit suicide, Mrs. Creffield often said she would like to kill herself, for she bad no deaire to live. But she always told me that it was her duty to live and meet whatever punishment waB given to' her, and declared she was going to do it." , , Five different color tests were ap plied by. tbe chemist making the analysis of Mrs. Creffield 's stomach. Traces of .000001 of a grain were discovered in the most sensitive of the tests. By use of a powerful microscope the crystals pf the poi son were developed topSjht. The authorities have not as yet made any attempt to detain Mrs. Levins, the cousin of Mrs. Creffield, and ber last caller, but there will be au investigation, and arrests may follow. Tbe sheriff's office is keeping special watch on Esther Mitchell. 1 All colors of pyrograpli leather at Ingle & Tozier's; ,. : -. K tWatch this space for Bargins in.
