10 XHJ3 MUKmJNCjr UKEUOMAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 190. PROMPTLY SETS REYNOLDS FREE Jury Finds Killing of Hibbins No Crime Under Oregon Statute.. VERDICT IS APPLAUDED Spectators in Courtroom Express Approval In Defiance of Judge's Warning Lawyer Assails Memory of Dead Man. A verdict of not gruilty was returned yesterday In exactly 20 minutes by the Jury in the case of the State of Oregon against Charles H. Reynolds, charged with killing his wife's paramour. George Herbert Hibbins. on June 16 of the pres ent year. The jury retired at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon and at 6:20 sent in word that a verdict had been agreed upon. A few minutes later the Jurors filed Into the Jurybox and Foreman A. Perkins handed the verdict to Judge Gantenbeln. Reynolds, anticipating an early agreement, had not left the court room, and, standing before the bench, calmly faced the Jurors while the verdict was read. Before the announcement of the ver dict. Judge Gantenbeln warned those present in the crowded courtroom to make no expression of approval or dis approval. A courtroom, he admonished them, was not a theater, and due respect must be shown for the solemnity of the occasion. Upon hearing the verdict, however, a chorus of "Ohs!" and cries of "Good" was raised by the spectators, who began to clap their hands In appro val. Only the prompt action of the bailiff restrained them. The Court, fol lowing the usual custom, sternly (re buked those who had disobeyed the or der, and warned them that their demon strations of approval constituted con tempt. After the court had adjourned and the Jurymen were leaving the room, Rey nolds shook each one heartily by the hand and thanked them collectively and individually for their verdict. Then, af ter thanking his lawyers for their serv ices and receiving their congratulations, he grasped the hands of his little son and daughter and made his way through the crowd to the County Jail, where Jailer Beatty formally released him from custody. Jurors Nod In Approval. To those who understand human na ture, it became evident early In the af ternoon, while John Logan, of counsel for the defense, was making the clos ing argument, that the jury had been greatly impressed by the testimony of the defense, particularly that of Mrs. Reynolds and of Reynolds himself, who completed giving his evidence yesterday morning. As Mr. Logan paid his re spects to the "human vipers who prey upon trail womanhood," and said that "if this man is hanged it will make this class of bold lawbreakers still more bold." some of the jurors even nodded their heads in approval. "It is an unfortunate end unhappy commentary upon human frailty," con tinued Mr. Logan, "but human exper ience has found it almost a universal rule that such lamentable tragedies as this one will occur at freuupnt intervals, and they will continue to occur so long as frail woman puts her trust In man, and men betray that trust." He then dwelt with feeling on the blessings of home life, quoted from the ports and related the Biblical story of David's fall when he became Infatuated with Uriah's wife. Defends Unwritten Law. "Ton men who are husbands of wives, or fathers of daughters," Mr. Hogan con tinued, "what other law, human or di vine, can protect you from the unholy passions and devilish wiles of such be trayers of trusts and seducers of virtue? This terrible calamity, awful in its con sequences to both families of the slayer and the slain will yet be productive of some good. It has fallen to the lot of this husband to be the human instru ment of warning to dobauchers and 11b ertiDes that In plying their licentious practices they are placing themselves In the way of a fearful reckoning. "Take note, young men of Portland, who disgrace our . city streetcorners ar rayed In flashy elegance, lest your leer ing insolence and lecherous actions bring upon you the vengence of that which you fear above all earthly terrors a man who Is the brother, father or husband of betrayed or outraged womanhood. "Gentlemen of the jury, suppose you bad a little family gathered around your hearthstone, and a home provided for them according to your means, and sup pose a leering, smirking devil who was ashamed to own his own wife or his own true name, should come into the life of a poof, weak wife, and you had the terrible proof which Reynolds had in this case, with the scoundrel coming 500 miles under an alias to carry out his devilish purpose, how long would you retain your reason and not give way to the volcano of vengeance within, tear the adulterous viper limb from limb, crush him to the earth, fall upon the ground and listen to his cries of torture as he entered the gates of hell where he be longed?" Kisses Only Friendly. Deputy District Attorney Adams, in his argument, created considerable Ironical laughter In the courtroom by saying that there was nothing In the letters intro duced in evidence to show they were ever received by Hibbins Inasmuch as the de fense had not shown the postmarks of Portland and Walla Walla, and bv as sertin that Hibbins while in Reynold's home Indulged only in a little "friendly Kissing. H. P. Christensen, one of the Jurors. caused a stir In the courtroom during the argument, by aRklng that the case be opened up again and Mrs. Hibbins' tea. tlmony taken. Inasmuch as the mur dered man s wljow had not been located in spite of every effort of the Sheriff's ornce. the request could, not be granted. In his charge to the iurv Jndirn Onten- bein embodied virtually the same instruc tions that he used in the recent Orlando Murray murder trial, in addition to in structions on the right of a man to aerend nis home. These in part were A man is not bound to retreat from his house. He may stand his ground there, and kill, any person who attempts to commit a felony therein, or who attempts to inflict great bodily harm upon an inmate. In cluding. of course, his wife. The law, however, does, not Justify a homicide when It is evident that there Is no Intention to commit a felony, or to Inflict great bodily harm upon an Inmate. Of course, in ' de fending his habitation a man must act upon appearances, and If he acts on the bona fide and reasonable belief that the assail ant Intends to commit a felony or to In fllct great bodily harm upon an Inmate of his home, and kills him to prevent such 1 act, the homicide Is not criminal, though he was mistaken as to the deceased's In tention. Justified Under Law. If. then, you find from the evidence In this case that the defendant had reason able cause for believing, and did actually believe, that the deceased was about to commit adultery with the defendant's wife in the defendant's dwelling mentioned in the Information, and If you further believe that he killed the deceased for the pur pose of preventing the commission of such adultery, then such homicide is not crim inal, though he may have been mistaken as to the deceased's Intention, and you should return a verdict of not guilty. If, on the other hand, you find from the evidence that the defendant killed the de ceased for the purpose of punishing htm for what had already taken place, or if you find that the defendant, from the appear ance and dress of the deceased and of Mrs. Reynolds at the time of the alleged homicide, believed, or had reasonable cause for believing, that they were about to leave the house In question, and that they had no intention of committing adultery therein, then you should And against the defendant on this ground of his defense, for the law does not Justify or excuse a homicide when It is evident that there Is no Intention to commit a felony in the dwelling house. Reynolds completed his testimony yes terday and the Deputy District Attorney thereupon proceeded with the cross examination. Reynolds told of his wife calling him up at the baths, shortly before the shooting, and of hearing a man's voice say: "Don't talk to him any more, sweetheart." Seen Through Window. Reynolds said he took a streetcar for home at once, ran to the basement door of the house, entered and hastened up the basement stairs. He tried to open the door leading to the kitchen, but could not. Then he said he ran to the back porch and looked through a win dow. There, he testified, he saw Hibbins and his wife in a most compromising position, and heard Hibbins say some thing, but could not tell what it was. Reynolds said he then ran to the front porch with the Intention of breaking in the door, but his wife opened it. He said he didn't shoot while at the rear of the house because his wife and Hibbins were too -close together and he might have shot her. In all other particulars Reynolds'- tes timony corroborated that of his wife. 'I still love my wife." said Reynolds in an interview last night, "and she shall be protected if it costs my last cent. She was victimized by a scoundrel. The fu ture only can tell . whether or not we shall live together again. It all de pends upon her. Hibbins victimized an other woman at Butte, Mont., in the same way. ' I have letters from that woman, but I shall not permit them to be published." . The reunited Reynolds family went home from the Courthouse together, Mrs. Reynolds having come down to hear the verdict. After her trying experience of the day before. Mrs. Reynolds was not able to bear the strain of another day in court, -and, after bringing to court me verses she wrote and which she found in Hibbins' clothing after his death, she went home.

SEATTLE MAN A PARTNER Charles Brulin, of Pound City, Buys Interest in Local Enterprise. Will Handle Only Whole sale Trade. Not only will the Zimmerman Pack ing Company fight any attempt of the city to close its plant in South Portland, but the capacity of the packinghouse will soon be enlarged with new capital brought into the company by Charles Bruhn, of Seattle, formerly one of the owners of the big packing establishment CHICAGO SOCIAL LEADER COMES TO OREGON TO VISIT HER SON. r s - - s ' : 4 - . v ' 1 , is . " yft ' ' 1 i i i i . i MRS. POTTER PALMER. Potter Palmer and her son. Potter Palmer, Mrs. arrived In Portland late last night and Palmer was weary from her long Journey and at once retired, denying herself to all callers. Mrs. Palmer, who is a social leader, arrived In New York last Saturday on the steamer Lusltanla. Mrs. Palmer is on her way to Eugene to visit her son. Honor Palmer, who Is en gaged in the lumber business In that city. of the Frye-Bruhn Company: The name of the Zimmerman Company will be changed to the Portland Meat Company, and the business will be conducted on a more extensive scale. There Is no prospect that the Portland Meal. Company will remove from the present site of the Zimmerman Packing Company, according to IjOuIs Zimmer man. With the re-incorporation the out put of the establishment will be doubled and still further increased later on. The Zimmerman plant now handles 15 head of cattle and 20 hogs dally, accord ing to Mr. Zimmerman. The capacity of the plant, however, Is four times as great. The output will be gradually in creased until the entire capacity is used, when additions to the facilities are to be made. The only enlargement of the plant contemplated In the near future Is the building of new pens and barns. For this purpose land east of the Southern Pacific track and opposite, the present plant will be purchased. "Mr. Bruhn has Just acquired an in terest In the plant, and we are going to carry It on absolutely Independent of any other packers operating here," said Mr. Zimmerman yesterday. "It is pos sible that some time in the future we may go to the Peninsula to a site ad joining the large institution that Swift & Company are establishing. No definite plans in this line have been made, and we have purchased no land on the Pe ninsula." A case against the Zimmerman Pack ing Company for conducting a packing house within the city limits is now pend ing in the 'State Supreme Court, on an appeal taken by Mr. Zimmerman from the local court. This suit will be fought to the bitter end, according to Mr. Zim merman, who says he will spare no ex pense in the matter. "My company was granted a perpetual franchise to conduct a slaughterhouse by the city in 1895," said Mr. Zimmerman. "Later it was revoked without any cause whatever, and in doing this the city acted illegally. My attorneys will sue the city for damages for any inter ference with the business. "The plant Is being conducted in a businesslike way, and is not a nuisance to the people of -riouth Portland. In fact none of the residents are objecting to it. They all realize that the Industry is a benefit and . would have a dozen more packing Institutions there if they could get them." - SEATTLE. Wash.," Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) Charles Bruhn leaves here to night to go into the Portland Meat Company, organized with L. Zimmer man, lessee of the Zimmerman pack ing: plant, which Zimmerman has Just remodeled, after it had been under lease to the Pacific States Packing Company for several years. The Port land Meat Company, with a capitaliza tion of $75,000, will devote its entire attention to the wholesale trade, not attempting to do any retail business. The plant will have a capacity of 60 cattle, 50 hogs and 100 head of sheep daily. Bruhn has been In the meat-packing business at Seattle for 20 years. Five years ago he sold his interest in the Frye-Bruhn Company to Charles H. Frye. Up to today he was manager of the fresh meat department of that corporation. "I will be in Portland by tomorrow morning to take up my share of the work," said Mr. Bruhn today. "The capacity of the "plant has not been materially increased by the recent im provements, but It has been thoroughly modernized. There is no Intention to further increase the capacity of the plant at present." Force Water Company to Terms. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) Yesterday City Attorney .

CONTEST TO BE STARTED Members of Reform Organization Indignant Over BIjthe's Article on Portland Insulting Promi nence Given Crawfish. Members of the Initiative One Hundred are ' dissatisfied with the name of Bull Run River, the source of Portland's splen did water supply. Their displeasure with It is so great that it was decided at a meeting of the organization last night to offer a prize of $10 to the person who will suggest the most suitable name as a substitute. A committee consisting of Thomas G. Greene, J. B. Laber, E. W. Barnes, Dr. Everett Drake and O. W. Taylor was appointed to have charge of the details of the contest which will be announced in a few days. The proposal to change the name Bull Run was suggested by F. I. McKenna, president of the organization, who urged a more appropriate designation for the source of the water supply for this city. His views were heartily concurred In by the other members who were equally responsive in the indorsement of the sug gestion of Mr. Laber that the organiza tion offer a prize oi w tor a. mui -h propriate name. The plan is that the i . . .. A,rA mamiwrfi Tinmed last cuillliliiitra wi luv.i..". night, shall select from the many names that will probably be suggestea, mo wct .nnantahi These names, to gether with the others that have been received, will then be reporieu Initiative One Hundred which will select the new name for Bull Run. Creates Architects' Trust. It was suggested that the new building code ordinance, pending before the City Council, virtually creates an architects trust inasmuch as It provides that any property-owner before making the slight est alterations or repairs to his res idence must have plans and specifications prepared and submitted in duplicate to the Building Inspector. It was pointed out that the enforcement of this condi tion in many instances would cost the property-owner more for the services of an architect than he cared to spend in making the improvement. With this ex ception the measnre was quite acceptable to the organization which strongly com mended the provision which limits the height of all buildings to be constructed. A committee consisting of P. L. Willis, George P. Lent and J. P. O'Hara was named to Investigate the proposed ordi nance and to confer with the members of the City Council in an effort to have the measure so amended that the objection able feature complained of might be elim inated or so modified that it would not operate a hardship on the small property-owner. If Samuel G. Blythe could have at tended last night's meeting of the Initi ative One Hundred it is very likely that he would have left before it was over. Some hard words were said concerning the conrtibutor to the Saturday Evening Post as a result of his recent article on Portland in the Phildelphla publication. "I consider Blythe's article on Portland a most- disgusting piece of satire," said President McKenna In Introducing the subject. "Having ignored Portland in the first place the article that was sub sequently written only added insult to injury. In that article it is made to ap pear that crawfish Is the principal boost of the Rose City, and it is even charged that everybody In Portland eats craw fish. This is a direct Insult. As a mat ter of fact this scavenger fish of our streams Is eaten only after being soaked for some time In alcohol and then cooiied in wine. Should IJojcott Paper. "I do ' not believe In boycott, retalia tlon or revenge, but I do believe it was the duty of every loyal resident of Port land, after having read this gross mis representation of Portland, to order his subscription to that paper discontinued. Dr. Drake said he had only contempt for any man who would write such articles, and for the paper that con descended to print such stories. On the theory that more sunshine, even of the .artificial brand, should be en couraged, the proposal to indorse an ordinance recently enacted by the City Council requiring the use of lampblack In cement sidewalks was rejected. E." A. Kemp was constituted a committee of one to investigate the ordinance and re port at the next meeting. Mr. Kemp introduced a resolution pro viding for the creation by the City Coun cil of an Art Commission to consist of seven members, including the Mayor, to pass on the artistic merits of the plans and specifications of all buildings to be erected in Portland. The purpose of the resolution, which was referred . to the committee on legislation, was to aid in every possible way and encourage the erection only of buildings that will add to the beauty of the city. Against Rider Clauses. The tacking of "riders" on proposed charter amendments was denounced by the adoption of the following resolution. Introduced by Frank J. Perkins, of the Mount Tabor Improvement Society: Whereas, It has been the practice of those having the drafting of amendments to the city charter to be voted upon at elections to embody more than one subject and ques tion in said amendments, and realizing that by so doing the subjects and questions so embodied do not receive proper consider ation; Resolved, ' That It is the sense of this organization that the practice referred to is reprehensible, and that it will do all in its power to prevent the continuance of said practice. TIRES OF BEING A MARTYR Socialist Titus Balks When It Comes to Wearing Ball and Chain. SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) After a day in the City Jail where he fought for principle and de clared he would serve out his fine rather than contribute anything to the support of his prosecutors, . Dr. Her man F. Titus, socialist leader, con victed of blocking the streets through a series of public meetings, paid his fine In cash and left the Jail. When time came this morning to go out and work on the chalngang Titus pleaded Illness, which he ascribed to the filthy condition of the City Jail. A physician examined Titus and reported to the police chief that the socialist leader was able to break- rocks or sweep' the streets with the other members of the chaingang. Titus was notified tonight that beginning tomorrow he would have to go out with a ball and chain attached to bis leg like any other city prisoner: so he sent out for the money and paid his fine. He spent most of today writing a description of his ex periences in the City Jail. Burglar Assumes Role o! Family Milkman Surprised While Opening; Pantry Window. Crook Excuse Himself and Vanishes in Gray Daivn. SURPRISED in trying to raise a rear window at the home of Mrs. E. House, 970 Corbett street, a large and neatly-dressed individual engaged in the profession of burglary dropped his dig nity and held himself out as the milk man. Shortly before daylight yesterday Mrs. House was awakened by the bark ing of her pet dog, and arising saw a man at the pantry window. feme demanded to know . what was wanted. 'Didn't you order milk?" Is the query attributed to the prowler as he backed away. Mrs. House assured him that she did not order milk and furthermore that she was on the point of releasing the family canine, whereupon the stranger beat a hurried retreat. The police were notified. TRY DETECTIVES TODAY Deposed City Sleuths Promise Some Sensational Disclosures. Joe Day, L. G. Carpenter, Joseph F. Resing and Frank J. Snow, the dis charged city detectives, will be given a hearing before Mayor Lane and the Exe cutive Board, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, on charges of incompetency and failure to report to their superior officers. The charges have been preferred by Captain of Detectives Bruin and cover 20 type written pages. These charges have been pending for several weeks. In July the case against the city's ex-sleuths was set for a hearing before the police committee of the Executive Board, but Ralph E. Moody, who appears as attorney for the ex-detectives, interposed an objec tion to the procedure, contending that the trial should be held before the full mem bership of the Executive Board, and not before one of Its sub-committees. The deposed detectives are said to be prepared to contest vigorously their dis missal from the city's service, and Joe Day has announced that he will make some sensational disclosures at today's Investigation. BEASTS HOWL ABOUT CAMP Hungry Bears Seek Shelter of Fire in Lonely AVoods. WBNATCHEE, Wash., Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) Forest Ranger William J. Ryan has arrived here from the remote regions of Icycle Creek, near Mount Seward, about 40 miles from this city, with the report of a thrilling experience in the moun tains in which he encountered a series of terrible gales, saw famished wild beasts roaming around his campfire and nearly lost his life by treading treacherous trails that overlooked yawning chasms where the slightest deviation from the beaten path would have meant instant death. when he encountered the first storm he was obliged to go into camp in a wild spot and remain for five days. While there, famished bears and other animals sought the shelter of his campfire and he could hear their cries in the night as he tried to sleep. Finally, after many escapes from death by wading over narrow ledges covered with snow up to his walpt, he reached a more open country and came down to the mouth of Chlwaukum Creek and thence into Wenatchee.
