BIG CROWD HEARS FULTON
SENATOR DEXOUNCBIS HEVEY IN
EAST SIIE ADDRESS.
Brings FYrth Letters and Affidavits
to Cntroverti Charg-es of San
Francisco Prosecutor.
Senator Charles W. Fulton won his
audience last night when he addressed
a large gathering of voters In Savoy
Hall, Burkhard Building, on East
Burnslde street. His auditors applauded
him frequently. The address was a
sweeping denunciation of Francis J.
Heney and Senator Fulton brought for
ward letters and affidavits to support
his statements that were presented to
controvert the charges of Mr. Heney.
"Heney is the arch hypocrite of the
age," declared the speaker and the hall
echoed with the longest applause of
the meeting. "He Is a hyena mas
querading In sheep's clothing," he con
tinued, and again the audience howled
Its approval. "Heney la a deliberate
and malicious liar. He is one of those
peculiar people who rush about the
country like a dog with hydrophobia,
snapping at everybody.
"Heney made the bluff for a while
that he would hire another hall last
Tuesday night and tell more terrible
things about me, but at the last minute
he decided to take the train for San
Francisco and slunk away. I have de
nounced him from every platform
where I have spoken in the campaign
as a deliberate and malicious falsifier.
He has not replied to these charges,
although he haa had ample opportunity.
He had my Salem speech in his pocket,
for he had a stenographer there who
took it in full. He knows full well
that he is making" false statements
and when their falsity is shown he
cannot reply. ,
"Heney' s opposition to rhe dates
from the time he was appointed to
conduct the land-fraud prosecutions
here. This was because he was ap
pointed by the Attorney-General de
spite my recommendation of an Ore
gon man, for I believed an Oregon at
torney should be named. I was very
much surprised when I learned that
Heney and his then partner, Mr.
Frost, had been named. Particularly
was I surprised at Mr. Frosts's ap
pointment, who was but lately out of
Jail, having been convicted of fraud
in the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals. I addressed a letter of pro
test to the Attorney-General and Frost
was dropped. Mr. Heney, however,
came here with his heart filled with
bitterness against me."
Senator Fulton told how he had been
overwhelmed with work at Washing
ton as the result of the indictments of
Senator Mitchell and Congressman
Hermann, and while working night and
day for Oregon he was constanly as
sailed bv Heney and his cabal. Even
thus handicapped. Senator Fulton
pointed with pride to the fact that he
had secured for Oregon the larsjest
appropriation for the improvement of
rivera and harbors ever gained for the
state.
Rufus Mallory presided and a num
ber of representative Republicans were
seated on the platform.

John Grills, Who Kills Ora Roby
and Himself, Leaves. Letter to
Mother, Saying if He Can't
Have CHrl, Nobody Will.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. April 18. (Spe
cial.) An Insane Jealousy created by
a mad love for the girl who would
not marry him on hia demand was
shown before the Coroner's Jury to
day aa being the only motive which
prompted John Grills, ared 21 years, to
murder Miss Ora Roby. aged 22 yeara,
and commit suicide near the girl's
home late last night.
The youthfulness of the victims of
the tragedy and the fact that both are
well known and connected with re
spected families created a sensation
locally.
They had known each other only a
few months but had talked of mar
riage, to which the girl would not
agree without the consent of her
mo'.her. The lat'.er s few days ago
said they must wait a longer time,
but Grills persisted in his demands.
Last night he met Miss Roby at the
skating-rink dance, where she had
gone with her brother. He bought her
a box of candy and accompanied her
home. They stopped to see the boy's
mother and continued to the Roby
residence.
Struggle Had Taken Place.
At a lonely spot on Sheridan street,
where there were but few houses, the
tragedy evidently occurred. A strug
gle had taken place and the girl evi
dently (led to save her life, when she
was shot In the back and fell off a
footbridge Into a gully below. Grille
was found with a bullet through his
heart on the bridge. Four shots and
the screams of the girl were heard by
neighbors. Grills' mother says he was
fond of the girl and had worried over
his love affair for several days.
That he premeditated the murder
and suicide Is evidenced by a letter
found In his pocket and addressed to
his mother. After stating that he had
already threatened Miss Roby he
wrote: .
I could not live and see anybody else have
her. I know T am crazy but I cannot help
It. 1 never was any good and 1 would be
worse In the future. Olva my love to all
the girls and tell them why I done It.
She promised me. then she tried to shak
me but sha couldn't. It I can't have her
nobody else will.
Both Young People Well Known.
Grills waa a machinist and molder
employed, at the Nelson Iron Works
and was widely known here. He at
one time worked in a Portland factory
and Is the son of Mrs. M. M. Murphy.
Miss Roby was the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Roby, who
came here about six months ago from
Satem. At that city Miss Roby was
employed In the Giles warehouse. She
was a member of the Royal Neighbors
and the Christian Church and was a
winner In the Statesman newspaper
contest about a year ago. she waa
exceptionally pretty and, tragic as the
incident was, there has been nothing
brought tip detrimental to the charac
ter of either Grills or the girl. The
body of Miss Koby will be taken to
Salem for burial.

FIRST H-HQUR-LAW SUIT
GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT OF
O. R. St N. UNDER ARREST.
Together With Train Dispatcher, He
Is Charged With Violation
of Oregon Law.
PENDLETON, Or., April 16. (Special.)
Criminal informations, charging viola
tions of the 14-hour law, against M. J.
Buckley, general superintendent of the O.
R, & N. Company, and the train dis
patcher at The Dalles, were filed in the
Circuit Court today by District Attorney
Phelps. This action was taken at the in
stance of the Railroad Commission, which
reported that complaints had been made
of violations of the law on the run 'be
tween Umatilla and The Dalles. The
railroad official will be compelled to
plead to the charge before Circuit Judge
Bean.
The complaint alleges that a freight
train crew was kept on the road for 17
hours without unavolda-ble cause for de
lay. The case is one of several reported
to the Commission.
This suit is interesting, from the fact it
Is the first ever brought under Oregon's
14-bour law, and it will probably be the
last, since the Federal law making 16
hours the maximum run supersedes the
state law. The latter is now in effect
but the crime charged in today's com
plaint was committed In October. Future
violations will be prosecuted by the Fed
eral authorities. District Attorney Phelps
believes the railroad will come Into court
and plead guilty. The penalty is a fine
of tlOO to JS00 or Imprisonment in the
county jail from six months to one year,
or botii.
TAKEN FROM BURNING BED
Tacoma Woman, With Her Baby,
Removed Jnst In Time.
TACOMA, Wash., April 16. (Special.)
With burning brands falling on the bed In
which she was confined and the bed cloth
ing beginning to burn, while the roof of
the house was a mass of flame, threaten
ing to drop any minute, Mrs. W. H. Burr,
living near Deadman's Gulch, this morn
ing narrowly escaped being roasted to
death, together with a nurse and three
small children, one a baby but four days
old.
While the noon meal waa being pre
pared a hot fire In the stove sent a cloud
of cinders up the chimney. Some of these
fell on the dry roof, which was soon en
veloped in flames. The fire was not dis
covered until the smoke began pouring
down into the rooms, and before the sick
woman could be removed, burning brands
were beginning to drop through the ceil
In. The shock and excitement rendered
Mrs. Burr hysterical and her condition is
serious.

A full Warranty Deed, as well as a

Lots can be purchased on the in

an officer to keep guard over the ice-box
