HANGS' FOR MURDER
Pleas Armstrong Doomed by
Supreme Court
EXSSUTIQK AT STATE PRISON
Condemned Man Killed Minnie Ebs
zaiBger at North Powder LaJit
Clirlst man Trial Co art Erred,
aat Not Materially.
In afflrmlng the Judgment convicting
Pleasant Armstrong- of murder in the
first degree, 'the Supreme Court holds:
That the prejudice against the de
fendant was confined, chiefly to the
orth Powder community, and that he
could secure a fair trial in Baker
County,
That, although Jurors who were chal
lenged for bias had formed opinions,
they could disregard these opinions and.
try the case upon the law and evidence.
That the action of the trial court in
reading an Instruction from a Supreme
Court report, and afterward writing it
and incorporating It In the record, was
Immaterial error, and did not warrant
reversal. ,
SAL-EM, Oct. 19. (Special.) Pleasant
.Armstrong will hang for the murder of
i'lnnie Ensmlnger at North Powder,
Baker County, on Christmas day, 1302.
The Supreme Court today affirmed the de
cision of the Circuit Court finding the de
fendant guilty of murder in the first de
gree. The decision in the lower court was
the result of a trial before Judge Robert
Eakln. The ruling upon questions of law
"by that Judge are affirmed In an opinion
written by Justice TVolverton. On the ap
peal three assignments of error wcro
made, (1) refusal of a change of venue, (2)
disallowance of challenges to certain
jurors, (3) oral comment explaining cer
tain; instructions given in writing at the
request of defense.
The change of venue was asked upon the
ground that such great prejudice existed
against defendant In Baker County that
he could not secure a fair and impartial
trial. The contention was supported by
the affidavits of defendant, his attorneys
and others. The affidavits recited, among
other things, the facts regarding an at
tempt to lynch Armstrong, and also re
ferred to certain newspaper report?, one
of which was appended to the affidavit.
In answer to this there were filed affi
davits by others showing that the bias
find prejudice was confined to the locality
of the commission of the crime, and that
the mob which formed for the purpose of
lynching Armstrong had Its origin at
Korth Powder. After reviewing tho facts
set forth In the affidavits the Supreme
Court holds that a change of venue Is &
matter within the discretion of the court,
nnd reviewable for abuse thereof. The
opinion says that the circumstances de
scribed In the affidavits, together with the
fact that a jury was obtained from the
regular panel and a special venire of 40
tnen, lead to the conclusion that the trial
court was not in error In refusing a
change of venue.
The Jurors, to whom objection hod been
made, had-Tcad reports of the crime, and
had formed and .expressed opinions base.1
upon such- reports, but had imt talked
with any of the witnesses or with' "persons
assuming to give the facts from their own
knowledge. Some of the Jurors said that
Jt would . require evidence to change the
opinions they had formed, but upon fur
ther questioning they expressed a con
scientious belief that they could go Into
the jury box without "any bias, disregard
their own opinions and try the (case upon
the testimony and the law given at the
trial. The Supreme Court holds that upon
this Bhowing the challenges to the Jurors
were properly denied.
"The statute recognizes the Idea, patent
to every one, that men of Intelligence will
think upon matters of general Informa
tion, though obtained through the ordi
nary avenues by which common Intelli
gence is dispensed, and will very naturally
errlve at some conclusion or opinion rel
ative thereto, and. being of social in
stincts, will discuss such matters In their
Intercourse with their fellow-men, and ex
press opinions thus formulated. It also
very properly accredits Intelligence with
the powers of discrimination and right
reasoning, uninfluenced by preconceived
notions and vague opinions formed upon
Insufficient knowledge, and that men of
honest Impulses, controlled by an innate
eense of Justice, will be able to lay aside
and disregard Impressions and opinions of
this character and to determine causes
upon sworn testimony alone, governed by
the rules of law applicable thereto fCs giv
en by the court. It Is but reasonable to
believe that upright and conscientious
jurors can and will thus deport themselves
When called upon to administer Justice.
Were It otherwise, the jury system would
cease in a great measure to be the pal
ladium of civil rights, and in many cases,
in the present time of rapid and wide dis
semination of the accounts of Important
and Extraordinary events, it would be al
most Impossible even to secure 12 men of
a community or county eligible as Jurors
in the trial of a caue. There would at
least be an elimination of those who read
End Inform themselves, and a relegation
of the administration of Justice to .a class
of citizens not the more intelligent, con
trary to the Jury system and the consti
tution and laws of the. state. Where,
therefore, the Information acquired upon
which the opinion Is formed and ex
pressed, is hearsay in character, and does
not emanate from a source purporting to
speak to a personal knowledge of tho
facts. It does not alone disqualify the
juror."
The other assignment of error pertained
. to the manner of Instructing the jury. In
compliance with the defendant's request
the Instructions were given In writing,
but after the Jury had been out some time
they returned and asked further Instruc
tions upon the question of reasonable
doubt, The trial Judge gave the Instruc
tion, reading from a Supreme Court re
port practically the same language used
by him before. The statute requires that
when requested so to do. the court shall
give instructions in writing, without any
oral explanation, which writing must bo
filed with the clerk. Tho opinion of the
Supreme Court holds that this statute Is
mandatory and should be strictly ob
served. "But the criminal code contains a pro
vision for the guidance of the appellate
court as follows: 'After hearing the ap
peal the court must give Judgment, with
out regard to the decision of questions
which were In the discretion of tho court
below, or to technical errors, defects, or
exceptions which does not affect the sub
stantial rights of the parties.' "
The Supreme Court then holds that tho
additional Instruction given must have
been reduced to writing, for it appears In
the record. There Is no dispute as to the
matter appearing In the record being tho
same in every particular as was read
from the book to the jury, and there is no
need for recourse to inference or presump
tion, and the error of the court in not
transcribing the matter read and then
reading It to the Jury and filing it with
the clerk, must be classed as a technical
error, not affecting any substantial right
of the defendant, and is not such, there
fore, as will warrant a reversal of Judg
ment. McCall m. Marion Coanty.
S. A. ' McCall, appellant, vs. Marion
Jounti'. respondent, from Marlon County.
George H. Burnett, Judge, reversed; oplr.
Ion by Justice Eean.
In the County Court a road was ordered
opened, and the plaintiff was awarded no
damages. He appealed to the Circuit
Court, and after trial It was found tha;
his damages would amount to $380. No
judgment was entered against the county,
but the case was remanded to the County
Court for such proceedings as 'might be
necessary. Appeal was taken to the Su
preme Court, and that tribunal holds that
Judgment should have been given In the
Circuit Court In favor of plaintiff for SSSi
and for his costs and disbursements.

In the matter of the estate of "W. L.
Conant, deceased, Hablghorst Sc Co., ap

Justice Bean.
Plaintiff sought to set aside a decree of
the County Court settling the Conant es
tate. The proof of publication of notice
of appointment of administrator and of
final account were left with the County
Clerk prior to the final decree, but were
not Indorsed as filed until after that time.
Held that the time of delivery to the clerk
Is the time of filing. It Is held that the
County Court had Jurisdiction to hear the
final account, and that the decree cannot
be set aside.

In the court below plaintiff secured
Judgment against defendant for 1110 and
costs amounting to $63.05. The cause of
action was based upon an agreement made
by defendant to pay certain expenses of
plaintiff In negotiating with the Beaver
Flume & Lumber Company. Upon a re
view of the case the Supreme Court finds
no error and affirms the decision.

B. Olsen, of this city, whoso timber
claim near Pillar Rock was sold by a
man signing himself "Ole B. Olsen, of
Albany, Ore.," today returned from

It to Jerre Crary. of Pennsylvania. Af
terward, Crary sold It to the West Coast

PLACE! OF EXECUTION JfOT FIXED.
Difference of Opinion a to Where
Armstrong Will Be Hanged.
SALEM. Or., Oct 19. (Special.) There
seems to be difference of opinion as to the
place at which Pleasant Armstrong will
be executed. It has been cald many
times that he will be the first man to be
executed at the state penitentiary. War
den Frank Curtis said this evening that
It is his understanding that Armstrong
will be hanged at Baker City. The last
Legislature passed an act providing that
when judgment of death is pronounced.
a warrant shall be issued to the superin
tendent of the penitentiary commanding
him on a certain day to carry Into effect
the judgment of the court The last sec
tion of the act provides that "Any war
rant Issued prior to the taking effect of
this measure ahall be executed by the
Sheriff. This act shall not be construed
to affect the execution of any warrant Is
sued prior to the taking effect of this
measure."
Armstrong wan convicted and a warrant
Issued prior to the taking effect of the
act. but the appeal stayed the execution
and a new warrant fixing a new date must
be issued before he can be hanged. This
new warrant wll be Issued after the
taking effect of the act referred to, and
for this reason It has been generally be
lieved that the warrant will be directed
to the superintendent of the penitentiary
and not to tho Sheriff. The warrant will
be Issued by Judge Eakln and It will re
main for that official to say to whom the
warrant shall bo directed. The new ex
ecution chamber at the prison has not
yet been completed, but it Is enclosed and
the gallows can be erected In plenty of
time to hang Armstrong if he .should be
sent here for execution.

and Grant's Pass was In darkness the
remainder of the night At 4 o'clock the

o'clock the overflow from the dam, which
Is 20 miles up the river, began to ral3e
the water, and It continued td rise to its
normal condition. Scores of people -visited
the river to witness the unusual
sight and fishermen were out In full

worse for their experience, as the water
flowed again before the sun was high. To

lighted as usual.

SUCCEEDS S. TAKAGI AS JAPANESE CONSULAR AGENT
K3
&VfA... ...-.. ft a..
T. AIBA.
After'14 years of service as Vice-Consul of Japan, S. Takagl has been relieved
of the position, and a new man, T. Alba, is tow the representative of the Mikado
in Portland. From the gossip of the Japanese residents here. It appears that it
was because of the publication of a certain Item In the two Japanese papers pub
lished here, that Takagl fell Into disfavor In his native country.
Early last month Takagl was arrested by Oflleer Gassett for disorderly con
duct The Japanese papers, which circulate all over the United States, and
finally reach Japan, copied the Item published in The Orcgonlan on the arrest
of Takagl. Though not looking with particular good-will upon their Consul In
Portland, the editors of the 'Japanese papers refrained from editorial comments
upon the conduct of TakagL But the mere fact that he had allowed himself to get
Intoxicated and bo arrested by a Portland policeman was enough to bring down
evidence of official displeasure upon the head of Takagl.
T. Alba, the successor of Takagl, Is a young man, 33 years of age, recently
graduated from one of the Japanese universities. He has been In this country but
ki few months, but represents tho new Japan In every peartlcular.
Now Oflleer Ed Gassett, who had the temerity to arrest such a high potentate
as a Japanese Vice-Consul, is wondering if he will be called upon by the gov
ernment of the Mikado. He had a lively time with Takagl when taking him to
the station.
"I am the Japanese Vice-Consul; you can't arrest me," declared Takagl. "Don't
you know anything of International law7"
"Don't you know anything of tho lawe of this city?" returned Gassett, and as
he was the stronger, the city laws for the time being overcame International
etiquette, and Takagl went Into a cell.
It Is rumored, among the Japanese that Takagl will hereafter make his home
In Seattle, and that he will leave Portland before the end of the month.

CeHnty AsscHxors Consider the Ques
tion of Taking Sack Action at
Next State Convention.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 19. (Special.)
That the County Assessors of the state
are considering- the question of raising
the uniform valuations placed on rail
road tracks and readjusting their figures
on all classes of property at the next
State Convention of Assessors became
known today, as a result of the receipt
by State Auditor John D. Atkinson of
an invitation from Secretary Edward
Meath for the State Board of Equaliza
tion to attend the meeting of the asses
sors in Spokane next February. The
invitation does not express this as the
real reason back of the Invitation, but
there Is good authority for stating that
such Is the case.
All the members of the State Board,
which Is composed of Auditor Atkinson,
chairman; Secretary of State S. H. Nich
ols, and Land Commissioner S. A. Call
vert have expressed the opinion that
much good will be accomplished by the
proposed co-operation. In speaking of
the Invitation, Mr. Atkinson said: "It
Is my Impression that the Invitation to
the State Board 13 due to the Intention
of taking up the question of raising
valuations on various classes of property.
Including that of the railroads.
"There Is no question In my mind
but that the uniform railroad valuations
heretofore adopted by the assessors'
convention will bear an increase, pro
vided, of course, th present prosperity
continues throughout the state and other
valuations continue their upward ten
dency. The rate recommended by the
assessors was perhaps just to all property-holders
at the time It was adopted,
but conditions have changed and the
placing of Individual property and cor
poration property on a more equal basis
Is needed.
"While. If conditions continue tho
same, I would favor an Increase In the
railroad valuations, I am at this time
not able to state to what figure. To ar
rive at an equitable basis would require
an Investigation of some length and
great care, and I have not yet been able
to devote the time to It
"The State Board requires the co
operation of the County Assessors be
fore It can raise or lower, a particular
class and give equity to all parties. At
thf last meeting of the State Board I
expressed the opinion that the railroads
could Justly be assessed at a higher
rate., but to make a change from tno
figures that had already been auoptea Dy
the County Assessors would only have
placed a greater burden upon those
counties having great length of railroad
tracks and the Increase would not have
been paid so much by the railroads them
selves as by the Individual taxpayers
"What the several months to pass be
fore the meeting will bring forth no one
can tell, but my opinions now arc oasca
solely on present conditions and, there
fore, might change; but In any event, I
believe much good can be accomplished
by this co-operation."

"I was a sufferer from nervous ' de
bility and would probably be suffering
yet If I had not seen Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People mentioned In a
newspaper article. I- am a sign painter
by trade, and' the nervousness com
pelled me to drop work entirely. For
two weeks I was confined to my bed.
The usnal remedies were prescribed,
but did not help me. My appetite
failed, and I believe that my liver be
came affected, for I was hopeless and
despondent ' Then I saw the article
about a wonderful cure effected by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and, decided to try
them. They helped me from, the start.
I soon found that my nerves were
steadier, I regained my appetite. In
creased In strength and vigor, and was
soon entirely well. I give the entire
credit for my cure to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, and have
recommended them to a large number
of people."

People cure nervous disorders because
they follow a vital principle in medicine
of which Dr. Williams was the discov
erer, and the secret of, his discover!" is
embodied In this wonderful remedy.

blood and on the nerves. It Is rthis
unique fact that makes them different
from any other medicine and gives

after-effects of the grip, of fevers and

America's best whiskey; This Is the
secret of the popularity of Hunter
