George Blodgett, who shot ajul killed Alice Mlnthorn. otherwise kjiown as Alice Gordon, was placed on trial yesterday in Judge George'8 court.

Although he wronged her. she still clings to him. and fr the sake of their children is trying to hrlp him to the utmost of her.abllity. She Jett the little children at home, tout car ries with her their photograph. Blodgett seemed self-controlled through out the day, which wag consumed in the selection of a Jury, and did not speak to Ills wife In the courtroom, but she visited 3ifm In the County Jail. She did not sit beside him. and instead occupied one of the "pectators" seats in the rear. Charles F. Lord. In questioning Jurors as to their qualifications to act. asked eich If he indulged In a social glass and I? he had any prejudice against the use of Intoxicants. Thoeo who opposed the pie of Intoxicating beverages were ex cused. Mr. lord's conduct indicates that as a. defense he intends to show that Blodgett had been drinking heavily for some time before the murder, and was Ir responsible when he committed the deed, or temporarily Insane. Blodgett has confessed the crime. He abandoned his family to live with the -woman he killed, and once she -was In his employ running a dancehall In connection with a saloon in a Montana town.

It. fc N Co. Against Jacob Slaughterbach to con demn ten acres of land near St. Johns for the Portland-Troutdale line, was begun before Judge Cleland and a Jury yester day. The Jury was taken to visit the scene, so that it might be better able to Judge of the value of the land. Mr. Slaughterbach asserts that Vis whole tract of laud is good soil and desirable, and is worth altogether $10,000. The portion bought to be appropriated by the rail road he alleges is of the value of $3300. The building of the railroad he contends will shut him off from connection wth the Columbia Slough road or boulevard. Francis 1. McKenna. a real estate agent, who is familiar with values on the Pen insula, was called as a witness, and oth ers will be called to testify who know the condition of the realty market in that locality. Arthur C Spencer is conducting the case for the O. R. & . Co., and J. C. Moreland is the attorney for Slaughterbach. PETITIONS TO SELLi SHARES One Executive of Noon Estate Says Debts Must Be Paid. "With a view of paying some of the claims against the estate of VT. C Noon. T. J. Armstrong, one of the executors of the will, yesterday filed a petition In the County Court asking for th sale of ISO shares of stock of the VT. C Noon Bag Company, valued at J1S.0M. The Indebted ness of the estate amounts to SS0.O. and Mr. Armstrong recites in his petition that nome of the claimants want their money and threaten legal proceedings. The oth er executors are H. M. Cake and W. C Noon. Jr.. and they will probably oppose Mr. Armstrong's petition. The estate Is solvent, and the total value of the real and personal property is over jacO.000. and the real estate is increasing In value. The estate owns 119 shares of the W. C Noon Bag Company, appraised at PO.X). and Mr. Armstrong thinks ISO shares can be safely disposed of. Sometime ago the other executors de sired to sell ome of the real estate, and Mr. Armstrong opposed it. A proposition to apply dividends of the W. C Noon Bag Company to the payment of Indebtedness was also opposed by heirs, comprising the widow and children, who desired a share of the dividend money. Judge Web ster, before whom the case was tried in the County Court, decided in favor of the heirs and for the sale of portion of the real property. The executors. 11. M. Cake and W. C Noon. Jr.. appealed to the State Circuit Court from Judge Webeter"s decision, and the appeal is still pending. It Is plainly a case of the opposing In terests being unable to agree. Holds Certificate for Ills Foe. Charles E. Ivckwood. attorney, who was threatened with imprisonment for con tempt of court for refusing o turn over a certificate of deposit calling for to Richard Lynch, administrator of the es tate of Jerry Lynch, says he holds the certificate as security for the payment of his attorney's fee- The contempt pro. ceeding has been suspended pending a decision of the matter in the State Cir cuit Court. Jerry Lynch was killed near The Dalles. Mr. Lockwood states that he never received ny fees In a damage suit which resulted in a successful ter mination, or any fees whatever.

IS SUGGESTED BY WILLS Belt Line Road to Be Offered An- " other Route, and Restricted- Franchise on East Third Street for O. R. & X. At a meeting of the Joint streets and Judiciary and elections committees of the Council yesterday. Councilman wills sub mitted what Is considered a solution of the East Third street railway franchise Imbroglio in the shape of amendments to both the O. R. A- N. and East Side Belt Line Railway Company applications, by the terms of which the route of the belt line is changed in a particular feature to Tead; '"Thence west on Stephens street to Vnlon avenue: thence north on I nlon avenue to East Ankcny street: thence west on East Ankcny to East Third: thence north on East Third as hereinbe fore specified, "instead of "thence west on Stephens street to East Tnlrd street: thence north on East Third street to Pa cific street: thence west on Pacific to Oc cident street: thence north on Occident to the intersection of Multnomah and Ross street. The feature of the amendment to the belt line route Is that it avoids interfer ence with the O. R. Se. N. oa East Third street. The other amendments provide for an interchange of business between the East Side Belt Line Railway Cosspany and the O. R. fc N Oregon Water Power & Rail way Company. Southern Padfie. or any other company, upon practically the same basis as outlined in the amendments to the O. R. N. franchise. Summarised, the O. R. N. mt with in tlx jftdatfu make a soVd SM fer a 39- foot roadway on East Third street, from East Oak street to Hawthorne avenue. It must build sidetracks for manufacturing or mercantile establishments on East Third street between East Ash and East Mill streets. It must also arrange for switches, and there are provisions regu lating the transfer to Southern Pacific or Northern Pacific trades of carload lots. "As soon as Deputy Auditor Grutzo had finished reading the proposed amend ments. Whitney L. Boise, who was pres ent a-i an interested property-owner and who was evidently pleased with the turn of events, said: "I do not know who originated the amendments, but I can say as a property owner that they would be a very happy solution of the problem." This remark was greeted with applause by tho adherents of the East Side Belt Line Railway Company. W. D. Fentoc. on behalf of the O. R. Jfc N.. moved that the matter be laid over two weeks on account of the absence of General Manager J. P. O'Brien, and this action was taken. Upon Mr. Boise's suggestion, provision will be made in the amendments for the return of the empty cars in each Instance where this feature is overlooked In the measures. It was explained that the omissions, wherever they occur, were oversights. Joseph M. Healy. Thomas McCusker. Judge George J. Cameron. John 1L Bur gard. William C Puffer and others Inter ested In the success of the East Side Belt Line Railway Company's project, were highly pleased with the outlook, and Mr. Healy remarked after adjourn ment that all the amendments were ac ceptable, as they prevented East Thin! street frym being bottled up. which was all they wanted. W. D. Fcnton stated last night that the presentation of the amendments came as a surprise to him. as they were not ex pecting the matter to come up yesterday, and were unprepared for any such move. For that reason he had requested the committee to grant him time In which to consider various phases of the situation. While not yet ready to express anr de cided opinion upon the subject. Mr. Fen ton admitted that there was a fair pros pect of the controversy between the rival aspirants reaching an. amicable solution, and claimed that inasmuch as fully S6 per cent of the property-owners along East Third street was in favor of giving the O. R. & N. the franchise, it would be granted In some shape or other. Mr. Fenton seemed confident that the company he represents would not only se cure the right to operate on Ehst Third street under suitable terms, but would also build up the greatest -warehouse dis trict -of Use Nertkwest Ja that sec ties.
