4 THE MOKNING OBEGONIAtt, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, IDOL REVIEWED THE TRAGEDY SUBJECT OP THE DAY'S TESTIMONY IN THE CONSIDINE CASE. Mr. Meredith Will Take the Stand Today What the Defense Ex pects to Frore. SETTLE, Nov. 8. Searching examina tions of important witnesses delayed the progress of the trial of John W. ConsI dine today, and the state was unable to reach the end of its testimony. The testi mony of tho day was devoted to the fatal struggle in Guy's drtig store on June 25, several witnesses testifying that Chief of Police Meredith had been made dafced and helpless by the blows rained upon his head by Tom Considine, and had lost mo tive and reasoning power when John Con sidine tired the fatal shots. Evidence as to the interval between Meredith's last 'shot and Consldine's first was conflicting, but the whole tended to show that Mere dith's hands were hanging at his sides, and he was leaning against a show case when John pressed close to him and tired three shots in quick succession into his "body. Tomorrow Judge Griffin, who witnessed the shooting, and Mrs. Meredith will be placed upon the stand. Judge Griffin is one of the state's best witnesses. Mrs. Meredith will testify as to the mental condition of hof husband when he left home. on the afternoon of the shooting. The lapse of time between the firing of the two shots by Meredith, and the ,shootlng by Considine, will be a point which will be dwelt upon both by the state and the defense. The state will at tempt to show that the struggle had ended; that Tom Considine had been quieted, and that Meredith was leaning against the show case In a partially un conscious condition when John Considine stepped up to him and fired the three shots into his body. The state will also attempt to show that Considine had suf ficient time to take in the situation and to fdlty realize the condition of Mere dith. On the other hand the defense will mike every effort to prove that the whole struggle lasted less than two min utes, and, perhaps not more than a minute; that it all happened so quickly that It was impossible for Considine to have recovered from the intense excite ment occasioned by the struggle, and, therefore, he could not know, even ad mitting that It was so, that Meredith was helpless when killed. The defense will also attempt to show that after Meredith's revolver had been taken from him by Tom Considine, and after he had been beaten over the head, he had reached for his rlghthand pocket In an effort to extract therefrom a second re volver, which was afterward found In the pocket of his coat, and which will be in evidence. The defense will not ad mit thit Meredith was helpless when killed by Considine, but that he had pos session of his faculties as demonstrated by his effort to eecure the second re volver. The missing witness, H. M. Hammond, one of the most Important witnesses for the state, has been located, and will reach Seattle tomorrow morning. He will undoubtedly be put upon the stand to morrow. Hammond will testify that he heard six shots; that he saw the smoke of the first shot; siw the man who fired it, and afterwards saw that man run through the alley west of Guy's drugstore. The state will attempt to show that this man was Tom Considine. game law Will not hold. Jude Lynn Declares the License -jffc Section Unconstitutional OlTTMPIA, Wash., Nov. 8.

The work of developing the Crescent mine, on the Isthmus, Is progressing rap idly, and the management anticipated the commencement of coal shipments within 60 days. By that time it is- reasonably Certain that the output of the mine Will be at least 100 tons per day and a steamer about the size ot the Homer, which will make weekly trips to Ban Francisco, wlU bo chartered. Mr. Maxwell informs Us that the small bunker at the mine will be used temporarily, but hext Spring an entire- new shipping plant will be put In. The new plant Will be designed with the object of loading coal with as little handling and consequent breakage as possible, and will be an Improvement in numerous ways over the old method. The three veins of coal In the mine will be worked from the one opening, the mid dle vein being opened first, and then tun nels run to the upper and lower Veins. As the development work progresses the out put will be constantly Increased, and, It Is estimated, within two years will reach 1000 tons per day. Suitable steamers for the trade will be procured, Or built, and shipments will be made to portB south of San Francisco. Soundings made off Isthmus Slough, be tween Marshfleld and the Crescent mine show a depth of 13 feet Of water at low tide, at the shoalest place, thus allowing Vessels drawing 17 feet to cross without trouble at less thah high tide. The shoal est place In the slough is near the Eagle Point log boom, and should it bo neces sary, it can be dredged at a limited ex pense. A force of carpenters- has been at work at the mine for several days past, putting up necessary building;, etc.; and Crescent City will soon have a place on the map of Coos Bay.

ST. JOHN, FDRSIERLx4 OP WASH INGTON, IN LONDON , He Operated In New Whatcom, Fair haven and Blaine Has Htfttory Much Like Fiction. LONDON, Nov. &W-At the Bow-Street Police Court H. St. John DIx was charged on a provisional warrant with larceny committed in the United States. It is alleged that he obtained control of three banks in the State of Washington in 1900, and that he subsequently wrecked tho Scandinavian-American Bank at Whatcom, Wash,, and disappeared With over J9000. DIx, who was arrested in the city thla afternoon, was remanded after formal tyn $&zr Handwriting of H. St. John or H. St. John DIx. evidence of his arrest had been present ed. Some weeks back the authorities of Scotland Yard informed the United States Embassy that DIx was available If re quired. The usual inquiries were insti tuted, and Tacoma, Wash., sent a re quest for his arrest. SOMETHING OF THE MAN. He Hns a History Seldom Found Out side of Fiction. w 1 WHATCOM, Wash., Nov. 8. tt. St. John Dlx, or H. St. John, as he wag known here, has a history seldom found outside of notion. According to his own story, related to confidential friends here, he is the eldest son of a British peer, and entitled to succeed to tho peerage on his father's death. Ho was one of the principals Id the Itata affair when the ship left the harbor of San Diego, Cal., during the late civil War In Chile, loaded with munitions of war for the insurgents, after the American Government Had pro hibited her departure. S"he waB chatied and captured by an American man-of-War and St John was thrown into prison at Valparaiso. He was released through the influence of the British Minister there. The next affair Of prominence in which he played the leading role was in the march of Coxey's army from Masslllon, O., to the National Capital. He accompanied It in the capacity of Commissary-General, acting at the same time as correspondent for one of the leading Chicago papers. Afterward he became mixed up with some Irrigation schemes in Arizona that caused his departure from that state. He first appeared hare In the capacity of correspondent for an outside publica tion. Shortly afterward he borrowed $9000 from a Seattle bank with which to buy a controlling Interest In the Scandinavian American Bank of thla city. The bahk records show? that he paid $3000 for. the Uao of this mohey for eight days". He then took the deposits in the Scandinavian American Bank iand purchased the Bank of Blaine, at Blaine, Wash. Then With what money he could command he bought the Citizens' National Bank at Falrhaven, Wash. He had formed a plan for the establishment of a string of banks to reach from Vancouver, B 0 to San Diego, Cal. Negotiations had ben en tered into for banks in Seattle, Tacoma and Everett, antj some of these had near ly reached the point of consummation. The money for their purchase was to come from the vaults of tho bank whloh he already controlled. H1& expensive style of living, however, alarmed many depositors, and they closed their accounts. Seeing that the end was near, he fled from, the city, telling his associates, whom he hid dasiled with stories of his noble birth and great expectations, that he was going to get help, and that he had a J100.000 insurance polloy in London that had Just matured. His attorney became suspicious and followed him to New York, where he turned over to him some pic tures, representing them to be priceless works of ancient Italian masters, but which have since proven "to be practical ly without value. On the day his banks In this county collapsed he disappeared. The men- whom he left here In charge of his Institutions were arrested, and are now awaiting trial under heavy bonds. Thirty days since his attorney weht to England to try to effect a settlement with hi3 family. Last Monday a letter was received from St. Joha offering to settle with the depositors on a basis of 25 per cent cash and th remainder of their deposits in three quarterly payments. The failure of his institutions, without a dollar belnsr left in the vaults, caused most1 Intense ihdlgnation amohg the de--l position, who formed a committee to ef fect his arrest, and have spent ' much money to accomplish It. They received a telegram late this afternoon from the PInkerton Detective Agency informing them that It had been accomplished, 'and Instructing them how to proceed. There is k reward of $300 fOr him. This was of fered by Whatcom County. St. John was twice married and di vorced from his first wife, whb was an actress. He married h!s second wife here within SO days after he received the sec ond divorce from his first wife, in viola tion of the statutes of this state prohibit ing remarriage within six months. The receiver of his bank here has called a meeting of the depositors for next Mon day to adopt suitable resolutions of re joicing over his capture. CAPITAL STOCK INCREASED.

The constant care of young children, added to this, soon breaks the health of the strongest woman. The haggard faces fn thousands of homes tell the story of the overworked housewife and mother.

Every little strain centers in the abdomen and gives insufferable pain to the woman who has allowed herself to become run down on atcount of her exciting duties. Every housewife needs to regulate her menstrual flow, to reinforce her strength and to keep her sensitive female organs In perfect condition. The Wine is doing this for thousands of women today.
