was found yesterday and was served
with a subpena for his appearance in
court by the Sheriff. He was in the
courtroom yesterday afternoon and
was called upon to testify late in the
afternoon.-
Attorney Logan, counsel for the de
fendant, succeeded yesterday after
noon in having the Chinese arsenal
excluded from the trial. The weapons
wili not, therefore, go with the jurors
to the juryroom when they retire for
deliberation.
Judge Bronaugh, in whose depart
ment of the Circuit Court the case is
on trial, admitted the photograph at
Lee. which appears on the marriage
certificate, but upon motion of At
torney Logan, excluded the certificate
itscif.
Among yesterday's witnesses were
Lem Ling. Detective C. H. Tichenor.
William Jones and L. L. Levlngs, a
newspaper man. The examination of
Lem Ling took up the entire forenoon.
Lem said he was in a room at the old
Arlington building. Fourth and Pine
streets, at the time of the murder. He
saw three men run away, two of
whom, he said, were Lem Woon and
Yee Gueng.
Detective Tichenor told of the cap
ture of the accused men, with Jo Bong.
He said that when Lem Woon was
discovered he was making an effort to
smoke a water-pipe in a room on the
third floor of 91 Second street. The
officer explained that a water-pipe is
used by the Chinese to give them a
lot.g, sweet smoke of fine-cut tobacco,
the smoke passing through the water
while being inhaled. He said he asked
Lem Woon how long he had been there
before the officers came, and received
the reply, "About a half hour."
Detective John H. Price testified
that in his dying statement Lee told
of three men who were with Lem
Woon when the latter shot Lee. He
said two of these were Yee Gueng,
Lem's co-defendant, and Yung Sue.
Lee said the other man came from
California: that he did not know who
he was. He was a little taller than
Lem. and wore a gray suit of Oriental
pattern. Detective Price said that
Lee's identification of his slayer was
positive, and that when accused, Lem
answered Lee nothing, only hanging
his head.
Lee Sing Sue, Lee's partner, said he
was present when Lem Woon was ac
cused by Lee of shooting him, and that
when Lee asked him. "Why did you
shoot mc?" he would not answer.
Lee Hong, who translaW. for the
benefit of Attorney Wilbur, Lee's
dyinior statement, was on the witness
stand at the adjournment of court last
night. After .being translated the
dying declaration was written In Eng
lish by Mr. Wilbur, and Lee made his
mark in lieu of a signature.
Detective Thomas Coleman was pres
ent when Lee accused Lem Woon of
shooting him, and corroborated the
story told by Mr. Price. Young Poo
was plated on the witness stand by
the state, when Attorney Malarkey
suggested that the state question him.
Young Poo was asked no questions,
and left the stand.
FOURTH TRIAL FOR WALTON'
Jury Disagrees and Special Venire
Is Ordered for Today.
The fourth trial of Chsrles W. Walton
for shooting Policeman ulaus Nelson,
after holding up a Willamette Heights
streetcar at the Lewis and Clark Fair
Grounds, will commence at 9:30 this
morning. Judge Cleland issued an order
yesterday for a special venire of 25 Jury
men. The jury which tried the case for
the third time disagreed, and was dis
charged by Judge Cleland. of the Circuit
Court, at 1:40 yesterday afternoon. The
Jurymen were out 21 hours. Wednesday
night they stood seven for conviction and
five for acquittal, but when discharged
were arrayed six for conviction and six
for acquittal.
As the testinny as to Walton's guilt
was overwhelming, his statement that
he is innocent, standing alone against
not only the oath of at least five men.
but the police record of the money found
on his person after his arrest, it was
thought, that the Jury would bring in a
verdict for conviction. The Jurors are
said to have taken into consideration the
three years which Walton served in the
penitentiary after his first trial and con
viction, the fact that Policeman Nelson
recovered from the gunshot wounds in
flicted by Walton, and that the money
stolen by Walton from the conductor was
returned to the streetcar company. They
are also said to have looked with favor
on his talent as a musician, and to have
.thought he should be given a chance to
reform. They took oath, however, before
they were accepted as Jurors, not to take
these things into consideration, but to
try the case and return their verdict
upon' the evidence.
The disagreeing jury was as follows:
S. H. Davis. William Burrington. C. P.
Bradshaw. H. Hildebrand. C. L. Myers,
J. T. Chlnnock. H. M. Wagner, Dave
Fisher, Patrick Holland. E. L. Aiken,
George H. Aiken. George J-I. Keene. A. B.
Bloomer. Only the first three of these
were drawn on the regular panel, the last
seven being those brought in on a spe
cial venire.

Republican Majority for Congress

' for Roosevelt In 1904.
SALEM. Or., June 18. (Special.) The
official returns from the recent election
give Chamberlain a plurality of 1522 over
Cake for United States Senator. While
the official canvass has not been made.
Secretary of State Benson has tabulated
the figures from the different counties
and the result is definitely known. There
are some of the abstracts yet to be cor
rected by the County Clerks before the
official canvass can be made. The offi
cial returns gave Chamberlain a gain of
100 votes in Crook County, as compared
with unofficial reports.
The total number of ballots cast was
in the neighborhood of 115.000. the exact
number not being reported by all coun
ties. Since there are some voters who
do not mark their ballots as to all of
fices, it is not possible to determine from
the number of votes for any office the
total number of votes cast. The largest
vote was that for Senator, which was as
follows :
Amos (Prohibition) 3.787
Cake (Republican). t 60,890
Chamberlain (Democratic) ... 62,421
Cooper (Socialist) 6,247
Total 1 112.374
Republican Plurality 38,762.
Party strength Is computed according
to the vote on Congressman, and by this
test it is found that, the Republican plur
ality in the state Is' 38,762, Hawley hav
ing a plurality of 17.048 in the First Dis
trict and Ellis a plurality of 21.714 in the
Second District. This is by far the larg
est plurality ever recorded for Congress
man in either district. The plurality,
however, is about 4000 short of the plur
ality for Roosevelt over Parker four years
ago. The vote on Senator, by counties,
