DALTON WILL HANG
Jury Finds Him Guilty of
Morrow's Murder.
PROMPT VERDICT BY THE JURY
Jurtpe Instructs Tlmt There MHt Be
Conviction in First Degree, or
Aciinittnl Trial of Jack
"Wade Begins Today.
Murder In the first degree was the ver
dict yesterday in the case o "Wi H. Dal
ton. The jury's deliberations lasted about
10 minutes. The crowd in attendance at
the trial anticipated just such a speedy
decision, as eery one remained in the
courtroom after Judge Cleland had fin
ished delivering his charge, apparently de
eirihg to see how the prisoner would act
wlien the fateful verdict was read. Xal
ton glanced quickly towards the jury
room when he heard raps on. the door,
which indicated that a conclusion had
been reached, and rocked uneasily in his
seat. It was plainly to be seen that he
was suffering under a great nervous
strain, but he succeeded in controlling his
feelings, and stood up firmly when or
dered to do so ofter the jury had filed into
the courtroom and taken their seats. The
loreman, L. Therkelsen, passed the ver
dict to the Judge's bench, and It was in
turn handed to Clerk Otto TVindfelder,
who read:
"We, the jury, find the defendant, "W.
H. Dalton, guilty of murder In the first
degree."
Clarence Veazie, counsel for Dalton,
asked that the jury be polled, and each
juror responded "Yes" as his name was
called.
Judge Cleland instructed the Jury that
only one of two verdicts could be re
turnedacquittal or murder in the first
degree. This instruction was asked by
District Attorney Chamberlain, and under
its terms there was no room for any dis
cussion In the jury-room and no cause
whatever for delay.
Instructing the jury, Judge Cleland read
section 1714 of the statutes, as follows:
If any persons shall purposely and of delib
erate and premeditated malice, or In the. com
mission or attempt to commit any rape, arson,
robber or burglary, kill another, such perbon
Bhall be deemed guilty of murder la the first
degree.
In explanation of the law. Judge Cle
land said: "If you find from the evidence
beyond a reasonable doubt that at the
time of the alleged killing the defendant
feloniously did make an assault upon
James B. Morrow for the purpose or with
the intent of feloniously taking from
James B. Morrow, by force and against
his will, his money and property, and
that in the prosecution of that purpose
the defendant shot James B. Morrow and
thereby cauted his death, such killing
would be murder, and In such case it
would be wholly Immaterial whether the
bhot was fired with the intention of tak
ing the iife of James B. Morrow or not.
"If you find that John Wade, alias
Joseph Bwing, shot James B. Morrow
and thereby caused his death, in man
ner and form charged in the information,
then such killing would be murder, not
only on the part of John Wade, but also
on the part of Dalton, who was present,
aiding in the original attempt to take the
money and property of Morrow."
There were numerous other instructions,
hut these were the principal ones. The
court read the statute that the testimony
of an accomplice must be corroborated,
and also section 2011 of the code, as fol
lows: All persons concerned In the commission of a
crime, -whether it be a felony or misdemeanor,
and whether they directly commit the act con
stituting the crime, or aid and abet In Its com
mission, though not present as principals, are
to be tried and punished as such.
This section of the statute would prob
ably reach Edward King, who testified
that Wado and Dalton loaded the guns
in his room In his presence, and that he
3tnew they were going out to do a hold
up job. ICing did not notify the authori
ties of the fact, and his only excuse was
that he was afraid of Wade. Martin, who
was also mixed up in the affair, denied
on the witness-stand that he knew any
thing about Wade and Dalton going out
to hold up people; so the case against
Martin is not so strong.
The law allows two days after convic
tion before the passing of sentence, or
until the usual motion for a new trial
has been disposed ofT Mr. Veazie stated
yesterday that he had not decided what
to do regarding a motion for a new trial.
From 30 to CO days must be allowed from
the date of sentence before an execution
can take place. The hanging must be in
the jail or Jail-yard.
Dalton, when seen in the County Jail
arter his conviction, was in a condition
of great dejection. He said, in answer to
n question: "They have convicted an in
nocent man. I will have something I
would like to say later on for the benefit
of young men not to do as I have done;
but I am not ready now. I hope the peo
ple will appreciate what I have done. I
gave up my life." Dalton continued in
this tone for a few minutes. Ho wished
to convey the impression that he did not
fire the fatal shot, and that, if it had not
"been for his disclosures, the police would
never have found out anything, and the
public should be grateful.
Wade, when Interviewed in his cell, was
in good spirits. He laughed and asked
for a cigar, which was given him, and
said he would enjoy a smoke, as he had
just finished his dinner. He stated that
he was perfectly willing to talk, but did
not have very much to say. He said:
"I told the truth. He tried to throw it
onto me and give me the worst of it, and
put my neck in it"
"I suppose you told all there was to tell
at the trial?" was suggested. Wade an
svered: "Xo; there is some more of It
I told all I wanted to tell. I have written
two pieces of poetry, and I Trill give them
to you to publish, but not until after mv
trial."
No visitors are permitted to see either
Wade or Daltcn.
THE JURY KEPT TOGETHER.
Judffe Will A'ot Allow Them to Sep
arate In Important Case.
In the case of Thomas J. Brown and
B. W. Maddox vs. the Oregon King Min
ing Company, now on trial In the Federal
Court, counsel for the plaintiffs- yesterday
presented testimony to establish their
contention that locations mado on the dis
puted mine prior to January 31. 1S99, were
not valid and In accordance with law.
Among the witnesses examined on be
half of plaintiff yesterday were: T. J.
Brown, B. F. Wilhoit, Anna Brown, F.
Berning, T. Hennegan, James Ward and
Mrs. Sadie Warren. The evidence brought
out for the plaintiff was in substance
that Brown, one of the plaintiffs, discov
ered and imperfectly located the 'mine in
3897; that Wilson, under whom the de
fendants claim title, made an Invalid lo
cation in 1S9S, and that Brown revisited
the mine and located it according to law
In January. 1899.
Despite the protest cf W. T. West, of
Tillamook. Judge Bellinger issued an or
der that the jury be kept together, and
the members are being cared for at the
Portland Hotel. When Attorney John M.
Gearln, for the plaintiffs, made a motion
that the jury be kept together, Mr. West
protested, on the ground that such a sug
gestion was a reflection on the integrity
of the jurors. Judge Bellinger told the
Jury that the procedure suggested was
usual In important cases, and Jn civil
actions where large interests are at stake.
In the present suit the amount Involved
Is between $300,000 and $100,000. Judge Bel
linger scored the rebellious juryman, and
told him that his attitude and protest
were childish and unworthy of serious
consideration. An order was tlven Issued
that the Jury be kept together until the
trial is completed.
It was Incorrectly stated yesterday that
but one stockholder In the Oregon King
Mining Company resides in Oregon. It
transpires that the large majority of the
stockholders reside in this state, and but
one in Wyoming.
French Ship Libeled.
Victor Morrlen yesterday filed a libel In
the United States Court against the
French ship Amlral Cornuller to secure
$41 alleged to be due him. He was sall
maer on the ship, and alleges that the
captain refuses to pay him his wages for
two months and seven days.
MAKE TRAIN SPEED SLOWER
Agreement for Linen Betiveen Chi-""
cslko, St. Paul and Omaha.
CHICAGO. Dec 11. An agreement was
reached today by the executive officers
and general passenger agents of the
Western roads regarding the time of
trains between Chicago and St. Paul, and
the Missouri River gateways. A resolu
tion was adopted providing that not later
than December 31 the minimum time
scheduled between Chicago and Omaha
shall be 13 hours and 30 minutes and that
not later than December 22 the minimum
time scheduled between Chicago and St.
Paul and Minneapolis shall be 12 hours
and 55 minutes. This put the schedules
between Chicago and Omaha back to tho
slow time made under the old agree
ment, while the time between Chicago
and St. Paul is only 23 minutes faster
than that made under the old agreement.
While all the roads represented at the
meeting voted for the new agreement, yet
it is by no means certain that it will be
carried out. Some of the roads were
represented by subordinate officials and
their action has to be ratified by their
presidents. It Is understood that tho
president of one of the roads objects to
the agreement and the prospect it that
he will repudiate it. He takes the posi
tion that the principle of fixing the time
schedule of short lines to meet the condi
tions of long lines is wrong and against
public interest.
Railroad Notes.
The new Oregon City trolley cars, which
have been operated without heating de
vices because of the Impossibility of get
ting them, are now supplied with electric
radiators. In a few days all will be made
comfortable in any weather that may
come. This will complete the new equip
ment and make it as perfect as the pres
ent stago of the car-building art will per
mit J. A. Dixon, of New Tork, manager of
the Plntsch Compressing Company, which
lights most of the modern railway cars,
has been spending a few days In Port
land on his annual tour of Inspection. He
Is accompanied by his wife. They took
an excursion up the Columbia to the Cas
cades yesterday, and were quite capti
vated with the scenery. The weather,
too, was delightful, and they expressed
appreciation of It to Manager Lyons, of
the Terminal Company. "I'm glad you've
seen it for yourselves," said he; "some
people won't believe it. But every year
In Portland the weather clears up on the
11th of December and remains bright and
balmy all the rest of the Winter."
Passenger Agent Seachrest, of the Van
derbllt lines, yesterday found In his mail
a little box and a letter. In the box was
a pair of gold cuff buttons wrought In
tho image of a tiger's head, with a dia
mond in tho mouth and an emerald for
the eye. The letter revealed tha the but
tons were a present from the party of
Vanderbllt agents from the East who re
cently accompanied General Agent W. B.

of the Northwestern circuit was made
pleasant by the thoughtful attention of

RUSH FOR TIMBER LANDS.
Demand as Brisk in Idaho as in Or
egon, Says IV. H. Signer.
W. H. Signer, a sawmill man of Bon
ner's Ferry, Idaho, who Is at the Per
kins, cays the rush for timber lands in
Northern Idaho has been almost as active
as in Oregon for the past two vears.
"The timber of that region, however, is
scrubby compaied to that out here," he
said, "and a quarter section that produces
1,000,000 feet of lumber Is considered quite
a rarity, while here from 10,000.003 to 12,
000,000 Is not considered extraordinary. The
bull pine and yellow pine of the Kootlnal
County is being shipped East In large
quantities, as the present shipping rate of
40 cents a hundred makes the freight bill
about $10 a thousand feet. For flooring
and finishing this lumber is beginning to
create quite a demand for Itself, but for
structural work, brldgebuildlng, etc., the
Oregon fir can't be approached. It Is no
trick at all to produce a stick of timber
125 feet long out here, while we consider
a 24-foot timber quite a stick."
Mr. Signer will spend the Winter near
the Coast, as the cold weather of North
ern Idaho shuts everything down m the
milling line quite early in the season.

How to Prevent Cronp.
It will be good news to the mothers of
small children to learn that croup can be
prevented. The first sign of the disease is
hoarseness. A day or two before the at
tack the child I ecomes hoarse. This is
soon followed b a peculiar rough cough.
Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears, and
It will dispel all symptoms of croup. In
this way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. That remedy is used in this way
by many thousands of mothers, antf has
never been known to fail. It Is, In fact,
the only remedy that can always be de
pended upon, and that Is pleasant and

CONDITION OF EAST SIDE.
Brooklyn Snb-Board of Trade Con-
alders Plat of Tibbetts' Tract and
Need of More Schoolrooms.
At a meeting of the Brooklyn Bub
Board of Trade held In Webfoot Hose
Company's house Tuesday evening, the
proposed plat of the Tibbetts tract, lying
between Milwaukie and East Sixteenth
streets, the opening of streets westward
to the river and the need of more room
in the Brooklyn Schoolhouse were consid
ered and acted on. F. S. White presided.
A large attendance was present, and more
than usual Interest was displayed.
L. A. Blank presented the matter of the
plat of the Tibbetts tract, which Is In
the shape of an irregular wedge with the
base resting partially against Milwaukie
street and the point at about East Six
teenth. He Is a member of Mizpah Pres
byterian Church, which will erect a $5000
edifice in the Spring, and he said the
building committee had been trying to se
cure enough more ground to add to what
the church now owns, on which to build.
It had been brought out that a prelim-

BROOKS GRANT CONFESSES THAT K
inary plat had been, prepared by the heirs
of the late Mrs. Tibbetts, remarked Mr.
Blank, which was very objectionable. He
did not have the plat, but Illustrated by
means of a blackboard. He showed that
one street would be extended through the
tract, beginning at East Fourteenth and
Clinton, and ending at East Thirteenth
and Powell streets. The plat had not yet
been filed, but would be In. the Spring,
and now was the time to take action. He
also called attentlqn to the "bottled up"
condition of that portion of the city.
There Is not a single open street inter
secting Powell between Milwaukie and
East Eighteenth streets. An effort had
been made, he said, to extend East Eigh
teenth south from Powell, . but that a
house was Immediately put up in the
path of the proposed extension to block
the proceedings. The same thing had
been done on East Fifteenth street to pre
vent its being extended to PowelL Condi
tions are such, he continued, that It would
be Impossible to extend a single street
from the north to a connection with Pow
ell, because there' is a continuous row of
houses barricading every possible street
extension. Mr. Blank said that the people
should Insist that the tract be platted so
It will open up that portion of the city.
R. H. Nelson also spoke on the subject.
President White said that the matter was
highly important. The objectionable plat
would certainly be filed In the Spring.
There was some discussion as to whether
an objectionable plat could be defeated.
It was finally decided to appoint a com
mittee to take the matter of the plat In
hand, and also to see what steps could
be taken to open one or more streets from
Milwaukie street to the river. L. A.
Blank, R. H. Nelson and Norman Darling
were named as this committee.
Another committee was also appointed
to confer with the other sub-boards
of trade to secure their co-operation m
a concerted effort to prevent the wnole
sale obstruction of streets south of Di
vision street. This committee will also
investigate into the possibility of getting
more streets Improved.
President White said that It seemed to
him that portion of the city had got
"cold feet" very suddenly in the movement
for an addition to Brooklyn School, which
was needed above anything else. There
were already over S40 pupils in the build
ing, and the rooms were overcrowded.
About SO "more might be expected to start
after the first term. He urged that the
matter be not dropped, remarking that
little favor had been shown that part of
the district for a long time.
R. H. Nelson exhibited a plan of an
addition to the Brooklyn building which
contemplated making it a 12-room struc
ture with an assembly-hall. He said that
ncr addition to the Brooklyn Schoolhouse
should be considered that did not Include
an assembly-hall, and the plan showed
how the addition could be built to In
clude one. Mr. Nelson said that there
was no use to ask for this addition, for
his experience had been that to ask was
to invite refusal. He said that the only
way to get the addition to the school
house would be for 200 taxpayers from
that end of the district to attend the
next general school meeting and vote a
tax sufficient to get It. In this the meet
ing coincided. The matter will be taken
up again at the next meeting of the
board.
FUNERAL OF W. H. WHITE.

EDWIN R. KIMBLE'S FUNERAL.
It Was Condncted by Hawthorne
Lodge, No. 1H, Aj F. & A. M.
The funeral of the late Edwin R. Kim

ly attended by the former friends and
associates of this estimable gentleman.
The services at St. David's Episcopal
Church onEast Morrison street were par
ticularly impressive. A special musical

were: O. F. Paxton, E. G. Jones, A. U.
Barker, F. C. Austen, B. W. Thompson
and A. Edgar Beard.
The death of Mr. Kimble Is a particu
larly sad event at this time. Though only
39 years of age, he had spent nearly a
quarter of a century of effort with the
Studebaker Company, and he had .already
attained the fullest confidence of his
principals, both at the Coast headquar
ters and at their parent house In the
East. His future In the services of this
corporation gave promise of being an
especially prosperous one.
Mr. Kimble was a man endowed by na
ture and trained with every grace of
mind and body, and he was popular in
business and social circles and In club
life. Among his particular friends were
many of the leading officers of the Army
stationed at different times at Vancouver
Barracks. In the management of his own
finances Mr. Kimble was actuated large
ly by forethought for the care of his
family in the event of his sudden demise,
and he left an estate that will be ample
for the support of his family and the
education of his two children.
Horace Kimble, of South Bend, Ind.,
a brother of the deceased, reached Port
land from the East at midnight on Tues
day last, barely In time to attend the
funeral. His visit at this time Is a par
ticularly sad event, as he had contem
plated spending the holidays In Portland
with his brother nnd family, whom he had
not seen for several years past.

tal controversy In Baker City in which
there was an attempt to show that Father

Baker City, however, that Sister Germain
was removed at the. request of a great
majority of' the medical profession hero

not come around talking about It. He
said ho did not .believe It. Wiley told me
that another man located the stuff In the
hotel, and that he (Wiley) did the Job
only that niiothcr man had taken the
stuff East with, him.
"Tho same day we were In a Third
street pawnshop, and Wiley said: 'Do
you see that Jewelry there that brooch
und horseshoe? Well. I have got a horse
shoe like that, excepting that there are
$100 diamonds clustered on It Instead of
small ones like this.' He never said that
he would let me In on a part of the Jew
elry. He never said that True Johnson
went away with the stuff.
"Wiley Planned to Send Away Booty.
"One day after the robbery we were to
gether, and he said: 'Do you know True
Johnson? Come and we will go up and
see her. We went up to a frame build
ing near Sixth and Burnslde streets.
Where phl wna IKHntr T nnvtr pnrA Mm
tpeak of Harry Woods or True Johnson
regarding the robbery. So far as taking !
the stuff away, hetold me his Intention
vas to take It farther East than Omah
"I remember that Wiley, In talking
about the robbery, told me that he was
pulled up to the window by a rope. He
said either window or transom, I forget
wiucx. wnaiever it was, ne sam ne was
pulled up to It, but did not say whether
the rope was tied or not. This was In
trying to get in, as I remember. Wiley
never said he worked in the Hotel Port
land, and he never worked there, to my
knowledge. 1 pawned a long old mackin
tosh for him about a week ago the only
thing I pawned for him. He showed me
a lady's watcn one day.
"Regarding Wiley saying he got hurt
the night of the robbery, he told me that
a conductor or somebody In charge of
the dining-car in which he worked came
to his room and wanted to know why he
did not go out, and he said he told him
he was hurt by an omnibus. He was
sober when he came to my room that
morning after the robbery.
"None of Wiley's Intimate friends have
left Portland since the robbery took place.
Wiley spoke of True Johnson several
times, but he never said anything about
her In connection with the robbery. I
understand that True Johnson's husband
is a railroad man,"
Late last night, Wiley again denied nil
knowledge of the diamond robbery but
was not told that his friend Grant had
gone back on hlra. He was told that three
burglaries had been traced to him, and
he replied: "Well, I did them. If I
get six years In prison for It, I guess it
will be all right." He then slumbered.
Great Credit to Detectle.
It will be remembered that the robbery
of the diamonds and Jewelry took place
in the room Mr. Lowenthal occupied at
the Portland, and that the spark
lers were deposited in two trunks In the
room, apparently In safe keeping. Mr.
Lowenthal went out for an hour or two
to see a friend, and on his return to the
hotel about 10 o'clock, he found that some
cne had entered his room, and had pried
open the trunks with an Iron hook, which
was used In the baggage-room of the
hotel and which was usually In the pos
session of the baggage-master, as was
also a key used to get entrance to the
room. It was shrewdly suspected that
some qne intimately acquainted with the
hotel was the thief. The police and
Pinkerton men at once began a search
for the thieves, and scattered circulars
giving a description of the stolen prop
erty all over the country. The Pinker
ton people are police agents of the Jew
elers' Protective Union, of which Mr.
Lowenthal is a member. Those who
hava worked on the case say that the
Jewelers' Protective Union deserves the
greatest credit for the persistency shown
in running to earth and prosecuting
thieves who rob jewelry salesmen, mem
bers of the union. It being a rigid princi
ple with the union that once a chase after
robbers Is begun, the Plnkertons
must prosecute It to the end. Detectives
Day and Welner have done good work
in their particular end, and It Is the
opinion in police circles that the case
Which Is drawing to a close by the arrest
of Wiley, Brooks, Woods and Mrs. John
son 13 one of the greatest In the criminal
history of Oregon. The detectives have
worked night and day, since the robbery
was reported.
TWO ARRESTS IN OMAHA.
W. II. Woods and Mm. True Johnson
Cansrht With $.'1000 In Jewell.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 11. W. H. Woods
and Mrs. True Johnson, botli colored.
were arrested here today, charged with
being Implicated In stealing diamonds
and Jewelry valued at $10,000 from Albert
F. Lowenthal. In the Portland Hotel, No
vember 17. The Jewelry was traced by a
local pawnbroker, who had received a
printed circular descriptive of the stolen
property, to Woods and his companion,
and they were found In the eastern part
of the city. When arrested there was
found In their possession J3000 worth of
diamonds and Jewelry, railway transpor
tation to Portland, and a check for $200.
which h.ad been given by the pawnbroker
In exchange for a diamond brooch.
The woman denies all knowledge of
where the Jewelry came from, and Woods
refuses to talk. Last Monday the John
son woman called at the office of a Douglas-street
pawnbroker with, a brooch, on
which the broker made a loan of $200, for
which amount he gave his check. The
woman gave her address and left his of
fice. He then examined the brooch and
found It to be Identical with the first
article named In a printed circular he
had received describing the Jewelry stolen
from Lowenthal. He Immediately notified
the police and two detectives were de
tailed to call at the address given by the
woman, but found no one there. They
made a second call with more success.
TVv found both Wood; and the woman.
GAS AND TROUBLE
Comes From White Bread.
While It Is true that we build up the
body from food. It Is also true that dif
ferent kinds of food have different effects
on the body and produce different re
sults. For instance. It Is absolutely Impossi
ble to live on white bread alone, for it
contains almost nothing but starch, and
an excess of white bread produces gas
and trouble in the intestines, while, at
the same time, the other elements re
quired by the body for building up brain
and nerve centers, as well as muscular
tissue, have been left out of the white
brca,d, and we see from experience tne
on trying to live on white bread alone
gradually falls In mental and nervous
power as well as loss In muscle.
Such a diet could not be kept up long
without fatal results. A lady in Jack
sonville, Fla., was crippled by an acci
dent two years ago. Being wlthQut the
power of exercise, an old stomach trouble
that was hers for years became worse,
and It was a serious question regarding
food that she could digest.
A physician put her on Gnpe-Nut3
Breakfast Food, with some remarkab.e
results. She says now that, not only Is
she able to do a big day's work, because
of the strength of her brain and nerves,
but that she has finally thrown away her
crutches 'because the muscles of her
limbs have gradually grown stronger
since she began the use of Grape-Nuts,
and now she Is practically well nnd can
go about without trouble, notwithstand
ing the fact that it was said she would
never be able to walk again. So much
for eating the right kind of food Instead
of remaining an Invalid and a cripple be
cause of the lack of knowledge of the
kind of food to use to bring one back to
health. Name given on application to
