JURY OUT THIRTY MINUTES Prisoner Unmercifully Scored by Iroecntor Penalty Is One to Fifteen Years In State's Prison, and Fine. "Tour decision In this case is of more importance to the community than the findings on all the murder trials put together. There is a matter Involved whlcu reaches to the' very basis of society. Tou are called upon to deal with a black polluter of young womanhood to deal with an excel lent specimen of a type that is become altogether too common. And I hope you will find this lecherous beast guilty of manslaughter In connection with the death, of his fiancee, Mabel Wirtz." Huch was the final plea for convic tion of Dr. G. B. Whitney presented to the Circuit Court jury yesterday morning by Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald. And the jury took the same viewpoint and inside of half an hour from the minute of withdrawal from the courtroom, retched a verdict of guilty. This means that the young Forest Grove dentist will haye to spend from 1 to J 5 years In the Ore gon penitentiary for his misconduct, provided he does not succeed in ef fecting a successful appeal. A fine may also be imposed in the discretion of the court. Notice of "application for a new trial has not yet been tendered. The case went to the jury at 10:30 I A. M., after Dr. Whitney had been pic tured is the vilest of human creatures. Mr. Fitzgerald likened him to the ser pent in the Garden of Eden, and said he was a sore on the social fabric of a kind which would in time sap so ciety of Its moral strength unless dealt with and wiped out. "His lawyer pleads with you for sympathy for this man." said the pros ecuting officer. "He Is not entitled to sympathy. If there is any sympathy to be given in this case It should go o sorrowing parents of the young girl whose life this lecherous beast destroyed. "It is plain as light that death was causel by a local application of mer curial poison, used for the purpose of preventing possible working out of the laws of nature. It is equally plain that this creature gave her the poi son. Posing as a medical student, he tempted her. Like the serpent In the Garden of Eden, he purred Ms lecher ous temptation, saying that he knejv the way to avoid the consequences. Such a snake la the most dangerous kind, and I hope you will put th-ls man away where he belongs. In a felon's cell, not only as retribution for the life he took, but as a warning to the other carrion that are wont to prey on unsophisticated womanhood." The jurors returned at 11 A. M.. and from the briefness of their stay It was thought by many that a verdict favor able to the defendant had been reached. Whitney was in such a nervous state that he kept his seat with difficulty. But when the verdict was read and he realized that ire was face to face with the penitentiary, he steadied himself and turned back into the courtroom to console his sister, who broke out sob bing on hearing the verdict. Judge Cleland announced that he would pass sentence on the case next Monday morning. Murray nd Mark at the Baker.

GOVERNOR LOSES SUPPORT AVlth Republican President, Eastern Oregon Feels That Republican Senator Is Xecessary, Says Sen- ' .ator Beach on His Return. State Senator S. C. Beach returned yesterday morning from an extended trip through Eastern Oregon, where he was working up a sentiment against the sending of Governor Chamberjaln back to Washington as United States Senator from Oregon. Senator Beach also visited Seattle." and though of course this had nothing to. do with the 'Oregon Senatorial light, and while he would not admit it, it Is evident that he was doing some charitable work among- the Washington politi cians against any possibility of their having anything so bothersome as a Statement No. 1 In Washington. 'The work of having Oregon send a Republican back to the United States Senate is progressing as well as can be expected." said Senator Beach. "Throughout Eastern Oregon I found among the rank and file Republicans a very strong sentiment against Cham berlain as United States Senator. They have had plenty of time to think since the Oregon election, and the matter has been brought home to them even more vividly since the election of Taft. "During my trip I met and talked with a great many people, and while I must admit there were some in favor of sending Chamberlain to Wash ington. I was pleased to learn for my self that the sentiment was not nearly as strong on this vital point as I had been led to believe. In the sections where the country newspapers have taken up the fight. I find there Is a strong desire to have the state repre sented by a Republican. That's about all I can say on he matter at this time. We are carrying on the fight and will do so. It Is Impossible to tell how the matter will end; but just now I am not Inclined to worry of the re sult." Senator Beach was not the only Ore gon politician abroad in Seattle. He ran across a zealous, and hard-working Statement man, also doing mission ary work. LINCOLN" BANQUET PLANNED Republican Club Will Celebrate 100th Birthday of Emancipation.
