EDITOR M'MMIUS
IKES THE
STAND
Says He Bought Gun to Pro
tect Himself From Thieves
- Who- Followed Him.
SHOT ESTES THROUGH FEAR
Judge Overrules Efforts of Defense
to Show Alleged Bad Character
of Man Who Was Killed The
Trial Drags Slowly On.
ptf TVrjETOTC. Or., April 23. (Special.)
iilA F. McManus, editor of the Pilot
Kck Record who is now on trial for his
Uie for the killing of Robert Eates, took
th stand today In his own behalf, and
before a crowd which taxed the c'ourtoom
to 1U utmost capacity, fully half of whom
were women, to(d in detail his version of
the shooting and the events leading up
to it. He contradicted the testimony of
all witnesses who have stated that he
said he wanted the gun to kill any one
with, and said:
"I purchased it for the purpose of pro
tecting myself from the thieves and rob
bers who had taken my money and who
were following me like burglars."
He Insisted that he was being robbed
when he shot Estes and that the dis
covery trightened him so that he pulled
the gun and fired without having really
Intended to do so. He Insisted that he
did not know who the man was when he
shot and that It was through fear of
being sandbagged or killed that he drew
the revolver, after striking the man with
hta arm, and that being easy on the
trlKger It went off prematurely.
The state rAted Its case about 11
o'clock, and as the defendant was kept
on the stand for an hour on direct ex
amination, he was not cross-examined
until after noon and then only for about
ten minutes.
Character Witnesses Denied.
United States Deputy Marshal Short, of
North Yakima, was next called to testify
concerning the character of Bates and
then for more than three hours the at
torneys argued the objection Interposed
by the state to the effect that no charac
ter evidence should be permitted. Inas
much as the attorneys for the prosecu
tion held that even admitting that Estes
was trying to pick McManus pocket at
the time of the shooting, the defendant
was not Justified In killing him. no mat
ter how good or Row bad he was.
The attorneys for the defense main
tained that the taking of money from
the person constituted a felony and that
the defendant was Justified in protect
ing his property from a felony by kill
ing. Believing this to be true, they held
that they did have the right to Intro
duce testimony to show that the deceased
was a pickpocket and robber, and there
fore that the defendant's statement of
the case was entirely probable.
The court sustained the objection and
then adjourned court for the day.
As uie question to which the state ob
jected was a general one as to charac
ter, the same point, which Is a vital one
In the trial of this case, is sure to come
up again In the morning, when the form
of the question is changed, and will
doubtless require several hours to set
tle. Had Made Threats to Kill.
Just before closing its case this morn
ing the prosecution hurled a thunderbolt
Into the camp of the defense by bring
ing out the most damaging testimony of
the entire trial. It was made by Ed
Money, who testifl.jd that he was with
McManus the afternoon of the tragedy
and that the defendant after telling' of
being robbed and saying that the robber
was then following him, declared: "I will
kill that man before morning; you see If
1 don't."
Money is the man who was in the
saloon drinking with McManus when the
defendant Is alleged to have decided to
kin Mccarty, and when the latter was
leaning against the wall behind them.
He also, at the request of the defendant,
accompanied him to the hardware store
where he first attempted to purchase a
pistol.
Dike Mumford, who was brought from a
sick bed to testify, corroborated the testi
mony, of Money in part, but otherwise
did not prove the star witness that the
public expected.
H. C. McGinnis proved to be an import
ant witness, in that all efforts of the
defense to shake his statements concern
ing the circumstances a few days before
the homicide, when McManus mistook
Estes for McCarty proved a failure.

BIG APPLES FROM OREGON
HOOD RIVER TO SEND DISPLAY
TO JAMESTOWN.
Will Compete With Virginia on the
Albemarle Pippins, the Famous
Yellow Newtowns.
HOOD RIVER, Or., April 25. (Special.)
If plans that are now being laid here are
successful, Oregon apples will play an im
portant part in the fruit exnibit at ine
Jamestown Exposition this year. Or
chard men here, realizing the great bene
fits derived from exhibits of Oregon fruits
at the St. Louis and Lewis and Clark
Fairs, are making a canvass to secure
funds and a carload of exhibits for that
purpose.
Already several growers nave volun
teered to assist in the matter, among
whom are R. H. Weber, of The Dalles,
who has subscribed $25 and 25 boxes of
apples, and G. r Ciitner, of Hood River,
county fruit Inspector for Wasco County,
who will prepare 2o ooxes of his choicest
apples for thi exhibit, provided other
growers will contribute enough exhibits to
make up a carload.
Realizing that many Eastern sections
will have their best apples on display,
Including the celebrated Albemarle Pip
pins, from Virginia, which are grown
near Jamestown, Hood River growers and
business men are anxious that the far
famed fruit of Oregon be represented by
a display that will be second to none. It
is believed that an exhibit can be sent to
Jamestown that will prove an eye-opener
to Eastern fruit men and visitors and add
another feather in the cap of the state's
already great reputation for superior ap
ples. They think that, having secured the
majority of the awards at the St. Louis
and Lewis and Clark Expositions, the
capture of the prizes at Jamestown would
establish the supremacy of Oregon and
the Northwest as the greatest apple-grow
ing district in the United States.

COLVILLEv Wash.. April 25. (Special.)
Mary Ann Lassinger, an Indian woman
of the Colville tribe, was found by Mrs.
Charley Smith, wife of a halfbreed, dead
in the Kettle River the other morning.
Mrs. Smith went down to the stream
about 8 .'clock for a bucket of water,
when the ghastly sight met ber gaze.
The bead of the dead woman had been
scalped according to the ancient fashion
of the Indians, and the head had been
beaten in with a stone.
The woman had been to Marcus the
evening before, where she waited on the
north side of the river while the three
Indian men companions went to the town,
where they became drunk. Prosecuting

pounds upon rough green flr lumber from
Portland to San Francisco Bay points, is
excessive, discriminatory and contrary to
ine rules, orders and regulations of the
Interstate Commerce law, alnd, unless the
Southern Pacific Company restores the
old rate of $3.10 per ton upon the same
commodity within a "reasonable length
of time, ' about two weeks being consid
ered "reasonable" by- the Commission in
this case, the case will be placed before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
through the medium of the Attorney-
General of the state.
This opinion was rendered this morning
and is the outcome of the hearing of the
complaint of the Western Oregon Lumber
Manufacturers' Association Tuesday
against the Southern Pacific Company's
action in putting into effect the S5 rate.
April 18, to curtail the undesirable traf
fic in lumber from interior points south
ward. Favorable to Dollar Rate.
Whether or not the Southern Pacific
sees fit to give heed to this finding and
suggestion remains to be seen, but it still
leaves the question of a flat rate Qf 11 per
thousand from Valley points to Portland
undecided, and this movement, which Is
being agitated by the Valley mlllmen, is
foreign to that embracing the interstate
rate, and must be brought before the
Commission under separate complaint and
petition. Although the Commission has
not, expressed Itself officially upon this
point nor is it preparing to "cross the
stream before it comes to it," it is known
that the prevailing sentiment of that
body Is In sympathy with the inaugura
tion of such relief to Valley marfufac
turers and shippers generally, and will
declare in favor of the establishment of
such an rate when the time Is ripe for
such action; Not only will this rate be
demanded to Portland, but Its effect may
be extended to Astoria and other tide
water points.
In this connection the officials of the
Southern' Pacific Company take the posi
tion that the Railroad Commission has no
authority to establish a local rate for
shipment which is intended for Interstate
commerce, whether by ocean traffic or
otherwise, but the mind of the Railroad
Commission Is clear upon this point and
will have no hesitancy in making the rul
ing, if the occasion requires, and enter
tains no fears of a reversal upon appeal.
The Railroad Commission holds that the
question of Interstate commerce does not
enter into the establishment of a local
rate to tidewater points within the state,
and it has the opinion of Justice Brewer,
of the United States Court, rendered in a
parallel case, to back It up.

have been made, but it is likely the

Although the railroad officials made the
statement that the traffic in rough lum

did not attempt to show any figures to
prove the statement, but Mr. Fenton said
it would require expert testimony to as

from south to north to handle the product
of the lumber mills. Neither did they
assume to state any reason for increasing
the rate, except that the traffic was un
desirable and unprofitable, and admitted
the $5 rate was put into effect to curtail
