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.

caused a stir In the courtroom during the
argument, by aRklng that the case be

in spite of every effort of the Sheriff's

In his charge to the iurv Jndirn Onten-

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

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." -

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

of the fresh meat department of that
corporation.
"I will be in Portland by tomorrow

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

Thomas G. Greene, J. B. Laber, E. W.
Barnes, Dr. Everett Drake and O. W.

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

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.

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.

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.

BABY TORTURED
FOR 6 MONTHS
By Terrible Itching Eczema Face
and Head a Solid Sore Spread
to His Hand and Legs Would
Scratch Until He Bled Tiny Suf
ferer Immediately Relieved and
ENTIRELY CURED IN 2
MONTHS BY CUTICURA
" When my son Walter was three weeks
old, eczema appeared on his face. We did
not know what
it was so went
to a doctor who
treated him for
three months.
Then he was so
bad that his face
and head were
nothing but one
6ore and his ears
looked as if they
were Roing to fall
of, so we tried
another doctor.
He said he could
cure him and wa
doctored there four months, the babr
never getting any better. His hand
and legs then had big sores on them
and as for his sleeping, we could not
think of it, the poor little fellow suf
fered so terribly. First I tied his hands
to the crib to keep him from scratching,
but when it got so bad I tied him in a
shawl' or he would scratch himself all
bloody. When he was seven months old
we tried a set of the Cuticura Remedies.
The first application of Cuticura let
him sleep and rest well, in one week
the sores were gone but it stayed red
and sometimes it would itch so we
used Cuticura for two months, then he
had a clear and white face. Now be is
two years and seven months old and
has never had eczema again. I hope
this letter will help some who are suffer
ing from skin disease. Every mother
who has a baby suffering with skin
disease should just try Cuticura: there
is not hing better. Mrs. Louis Beck, R.
