THE MOKSTG OREGOyiAJV. SATURDAY, AFKIL' 1ST, lOT. IVl'MANUSGASETQ GO TO JURY TODAY Trial Cut Short by Refusal of Judge to Permit Evidence as to Estes' Character. DEFENSE SCORES WELL Witnesses Refute Statements That Defendant Made Threats That lie Bought Gun to "Get His Man." Tilt Between the Attorneys. PENDLETON, Or.. April 28. (Spe cial.) Barring unforeseen contingen cies, the fate of John P. McManus will be In the hands of the Jury before 10 o'clock tomorrow nigh.. Owing to tha ruling of the court wh'ch proventeil the Introduction of any character evidence beyond that of the reputation for honesty of the deceased, the trial was shortened by probably one day. Only a few witnesses remain to be Introduced by the defease, and it is be lieved that the state will be through with lt rebuttal by noon and that the arguments of the attorneys will commence Immediately after dinner. With the exception of being pinned down bo closoiy in its character evi dence, the defense had lt innins to day and sco -ed some good points It was proved that Estes' reputation for honesty was bad, and by the introduc tion of expert testimony It was shown 'that listes must have been in the po sition that the defendant says he was when the shot was fired. Witnesses were also introduced to Impeach the testimony of John Kecs and Orville Coffman, as to the state ments that the defendant had said that he "wanted a gun to kill the man who had robbed him," and that he had "bought the gun to get the man." One of the features of the trial today was the sharp tilt between District Attor ney Phelps and Judge Fee, counsel for the defense, which occurred early In the morning se.ision. The controversy arose over the desire of Judge Fee to state to the court reporter In the hearing of the Jury what the testimony of United States Deputy Marshal Short would be if he were allowed to testify, and was settled by the court ruling that if Fee insisted on mak ing such a statement he must take the re porter from the room or dictate it to him at some place out of hearing of the jury. This was finally done, and all other evi dence excluded by the ruling of the court tab placed in the record In this manner, though objected to by the prosecution, whose objections were sustained. Nearly all the forenoon was consumed In this manner. The Deputy United States Marshal and the ex-Chief of Police of North Yakima, both of whom have been kept here for more than a week, were not permitted to answer a single material question. They were followed on the wltn ess-stand by a large- number of local men who were per mitted to Slv the one word "bad" In an swer to the question as to what they knew the reputation of Bob Estes as to honesty to be. A change In the regular routine of the trial occurred this afternoon, when a hu man skeleton was brought Into court and suspended from a chandelier In front of the Jury. This was used by Dr. Cole to Illustrate the probable position of Estes when he was shot, and the course taken by the bullet.

Incompetency, favor itism,, discrimination and breach of trust. Instead of representing the people and caring for their interests, it has Joined hands with the low and vicious elements of the city and Is openly and flagrantly allowing dives, gambling joints and pool rooms to exist. It is lending its aid and protection to thugs, bunco men and street walkers. We believe in and advocate a liberal policy, hut do not believe it neces sary to go into partnership with the law less element. We are not in favor of Sunday closing or a closed town gen erally, hut saloons should be under strict legal control, and a saloon where rob beries are committed or minors are per mitted to resort, should have its license forfeited and its doors nailed up. Boxes and winerooms should be removed from saloons and no liquor served behind cur tains or doors. The present ordinances of the city should be amended to require all saloons to close at 1 o'clock A. M, and until such amendment is made the pres ent ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor after 2 A. M. should be strictly enforced." Fined $50 for Illegal Fishing. OREGON CITY, Or., April 26.

E VENUE Haywood Objects to Standing Trial in Ada County. C. S. DARROW AT BOISE Chief Counsel for Defendants Lets It Be Known He Is Sot Willing to Stand for Agreement Blade. Judge by Nugent. BOISE, Idaho, April 26. (Special.) Clar ence S. Darrow. chief counsel for Moyer, Haywood arid Pettlbone, the men accused of complicity In the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg. has arrived, prepared to remain until the trials are over. He has very little to say about the case, but X. v.. Galloirajr, University of Ore gon Debater. It transpires that It la probably the pur pose of the defense to move again for a change of venue when the Haywood case is called, on May 9. Men are engaged in getting affidavits setting forth that preju dice exists In this county, and it is re garded as certain that a motion of the kind mentioned will be made. .When the change of venue waa taken from Canyon County to Ada County It was by consent of defendants' counsel. That consent was given by John F. Nu gent, the only one of the attorneys present at the time. It is the understanding that the other lawyers for the defense have criticised him pharply for giving his con sent and that they propose to move for a change, notwithstanding his action. They would nave preferred to proceed with the Impaneling of a Jury in Canyon County, trusting to be able to prove prejudice dur ing that procedure, in which case they could have secured a change of venue without giving consent, and would be in a position to make the same motion over again here without having such consent oonfronting them. It is probable such a motion will con sume time and delay the actual impan eling of a Jury. It Is learned that It is the purpose of Sheriff Hodg-ln, of this county, to provide a house in which the members of' the Juries In these cases shall live while serv ing. Their meals will be prepared there, and the house will be so situated that the men can live comfortably without be ing in danger of being approached, by outsiders. DEAD OF THE . NORTHWEST Martin D.

In my very extensive practice I have learned a few truths that are undeniably of interest to EVERY MAN. First of all, I find that the very serious and so-called "incurable" cases are due usually to NEG LECT and DELAY. Again, I know that many men suffer FOR YEARS and prac tically RUIN THEIR HEALTH FOR EVER trying to dose themselves with some patent nostrum that never could cure. And further, it is evident that many men will run to what they call "cheap" treatment. NO TREATMENT AT ALL. is what "cheap" treatment means in nine cases out of ten. The last state of the man is worse than the first. Just before you gro a line further in this announcement, stop and ask yourself ,as to whether YOU are following in the foolish footsteps of the man who NEGLECTS himself t Are YOU trying to cure yourself with nostrums f Are YOU looking for treatment that will not ciiref If you are, it is certain that you -will regret it. It is NEVER TOO LATE to get on the right path, but at the same time remember that you cannot get there too soon. The best help in the world is none too good for you; you cannot get it too quickly. I offer it to you at the lowest fees possible.
