FINCH IS STILL HOPEFUL
SUYER OF FISHER SAYS HE
WILL XOT HANG.
Declares Defense lias Proven Con
clusively That Struggle Took
Place Before Murder.
With his trial near its close, James A.
Finch, the slayer of Ralph B. Fisher.
s;i:i expresses his hope that the killing
.f the Bar Association prosecutor will
be found Justifiable In the eyes of the
li men whose word will either cast him
Into eternity, condemn him to many
weary years behind prison bars or set
him free. In the face of the fact that
the end of the trial is fast approach
ing. Finch presents a remarkably
cheerful demeanor.
Freshly shaven and drawing some com
fort from hie pipe, at which he puffed In
dustriously. Finch, in his cell in the
County Jail, last night talked over the
points In his trial on which he bases his
hope that the charges of murder In the
first degree will not be sustained. Finch
has grown a trifle, thin since his Incar
ceration behind the bans, and hla face is
a little pale from the strain undergone
dally In the courtroom, but his eyea are
clear and his features are set with an
expression of determination.
Where Hope Is Based.
In discussing the various aspects of his
ease. Finch brought out the pointa which
the defense relies on as convincing argu
ments in his plea that Mr. Fisher was
not shot down In cold blood, but as a re
sult of an encounter in Fisher's office,
which the prisoner steadfastly maintains
was brought about by hla victim.
Finch bases his hope largely on testi
mony as to the length of time he was
in the office of Mr. Fisher, the interval
between the shots fired and the location
of the bullets which missed their intend
ed victim and were embedded in the
walls.
Finch expresses hope that there has
been sufficient testimony on these points
to prove conclusively that he did not
walk in and deliberately murder Mr.
Fisher while the latter was Mill seated
In his chair, as has been testified to by
Miss Burkhart.
Finch bellevee) that testimony on these
points will be accepted by the Jury' as
proving beyond a doubt that Miss Burk
hart was mistaken In her story. He de
clares that a close examination of the
bullet-holes and the position of the body
of Mr. Fisher after the shooting will
show It would have been Impossible for
him to have rired at Mr. Fisher as de
scribed bv Miss Burkhart.
"Tou tell the public for me." began
Finch "that Ralph B. Fisher was not
murdered in cold blood. I want to say
thl to tne public because T feel that
thev have been prejudiced against
me.' I did not talk and tell all I knew
at first because my instincts as an
attorney told me that the courtroom
would be the proper place to bring out
the truth.- Perhaps because of this,
point? acalnst mc have been made
stronger than they really are and
points for me have been put in the
background.
"I am confident of a victory. The
burden of the proof rests upon the
state. As to the remainder of the
trlaj we have every reason to believe
that the testimony of Miss Burkhart
will be weakened materially. I am
looking at it from the standpoint of
an attorney now. not from that of a
defendant. If I was defending a man
in whof.c case the evidence was as
conclusive and pointed as in this case.
I'd expect acquittal on the first bal
lot. The prosecution's story is contra
dictory and full of holes ' throughout.
The evidence introduced by one wit
ness for the prosecution relative, to
the time elapsing between the time I
left the elevator and" the time the
shots were fired was flatly contra
dicted by another witness tor- the
prosecution.
Say Witnesses Not Agreed.
"Elmer Chrlstlanson, the elevator boy,
said that I was the only one In the ele
vator, and that he had gone hack imme
diately to the first floor, with the lapse
of but a second or two between the tmo
I alighted from tho elevator and the time
the shots were fired. He was the main
witness the prosecution relied upon to
establish this testimony. His assertions
were flatly contradicted by Attorney S. S.
Humphries, also a witness for the state
and myself. Mr. Humphries was also
a passenger In the elevator. I conversed
with him and told him I was going to
see Fisher. He went up to the fourth
floor, into Logan's office, was there a
short time, and returned to the elevator.
It was while he was waiting for the ele
vator that he heard Miss Burkhart's
screams on the third floor.
"How could all this time have elapsed
If I had done as Miss Burkhart says?
The testimony of the prosecution as to
the condition of the furniture In the of
fice is also contradictory, and another
fatal blow to the theory of the Incident
they have deducted from Miss Burkhart's
statements. These are only two of tho
many points which will be shown conclu
sively to the jury In the argument of
tho defense. There are a number of other
points which will also be brought out In
the rebuttal but which I do not care to
talk about now.
"I think I have a fair jury and I don't
believe that they will be prejudiced
against me by all the talk since my ar
rest. But we have flt a change in public
sT.timent during the past four or five
days. It has been noticed in many ways.
1 have noticed it In expressions which
have be3n made to me by visitors and It
has come to me through my attorneys
who hvs repeated remarks overhead In
the courtroom. You must also take into
consideration the fact that I have labored
under general adverse conditions. My
wife's illness has been a great source of
uneasiness to me, we were forced to go
to trial without two important witnesses
and I was brought Into court without a
great deal of time being allowed my at
torneys to prepare the defense.
"It would have been a great comfort
to me to have had Mrs. Finch in the
courtroom. I Imve not seen her now
for three weeks and the doctor told me
that at 'one time she was hanging be
tween life and death. Our Inability to
locate W. C. Piggott. my attorney's
nephew, was. also a handicap. He went
awav to California, not dreaming, of
course, that the trial would occur so
quicklv. and we might have used him to
very good effect in the rebuttal.
"We are unable to account for the fail
ure of B. J. Watts to appear as a wit
ness. I never saw or talked with him,
but I understood that he would have
made a great deal stronger the line of
testimony given by Kissinger. Taken al
together the testimony shows conclusive
ly that there was a struggle In Fisher's
office. The testimony of District At
torney Cameron. I believe, was more in
my favor than In the favor of the
prosecution. He said that when he first
saw me In the City Jail he thought I
was drunk, whereas the prosecution
proved by Miss Burkhart and others
that I was sober. As a matter of fact
1 don't remember seeing Mr. Cameron
at all. , "

THAT Portland likes the George M.
Cohan brand of entertainment
was again demonstrated last night
when one of the largest Sunday nifht
audiences which ever assembled in the
Heilig- applauded "Fifty Miles From
Boston" to the echo. This piece is the
newest of Cohan's unique conceptions
to visit this territory and it takes
ranw with his best efforts. "Little
Johnnie Jones" and "Fifty-five Min
utes From Broadway." The versatile
young writer and composer who styles
himself the "American Prince," has
given his admirers another one of
those slap-bang, hurry-up comedies
sprinkled with catchy-. noisy songs
that are a delight to those who demand
vim and ginger. It rushes along at a
racehorse clip with scarcely a breath
ing snell. When there seems to be
the slightest danger of the show lag
ging, a busy chorus is Injected into
the proceedings and a distinctly Co
hanesque song is caroled.
"Fifty Miles From Boston" Is like Its
predecessor of similar name, a rurnl
comedy which presumably takes place In
Brooktield, Mass. Why Brookheld Is not
clear save that it Is the distance from
the Hub that the title would indicate.
Twc distinctly drawn character parts are
Nathan Westcott. the village philan
thropist, and Mrs. Tilford, the gossip.
The former is cleverly played by Charles
Willard and the latter by Susanne West
ford. Miss Westford tickled the collec
tive funny bone of the audience every
time she walked onto the stage. I am not
Informed whether or no she created the
part, but she might well have been a
big factor in its original production.
Hazel Lowry. dainty, winsome little
Ingenue with a small but sweet singing
voice plays the little postmistress capital
ly and sings her song "Jack and Jill" in
a fetching manner. Douglass Stevenson,
a good looking young man, fills the role
of Joe Westcott the baseball-playing hero
quite satisfactorily. Thomas Fjnory has
tho thankless part of Jed Woociis. the
weak, unnetural brother of the delightful
postmistress and does as well by it as
could be desired. The stage settings are
elaborate and the costuming above the
ordinary. There are six songs in the
three arts. "Jack and Jill," "A Small
Town Gal." "Boys Who Fight the
Flames." "Waltz With Me," "Ain't It
Awful" and "Harrlgan." "Fifty Miles
From Boston" will rollick its way through
the entire course of the week and is
calculated to please.

Blaze in Hotel Building Among
Paints and Oils Causes $100,000
Loss in. Los Angeles.
L09 AXGELKS, Dec. 27. A fire which
caused a loss of J100.000 and the painful
if not serious injury of two firemen, oc
curred this afternoon in tho Occidental
Hotel building on South street, between
Fourth and Fifth. An explosion in the
basement, where the Thayer Decorating
Company stores a large quantity of paints
nnd oils, was -the cause.
Captain A. J. Eley and Hoseman W. A.
Burns were the firemen injured, and
Lieutenant Frank Live, of the Fire De
partment, was the hero of the occasion,
leaping into the burning basement and
rescuing Captain Eley from certain death
at the Imminent risk of his own life.
Captain Eley was badly burned and
bruised and Hoseman Burns was pain
fully bruised.
About 100 guests were In the hotel at
the time the fire started, and the pro
prietor. George W. Von Ache, did heroic
work in warning all of the danger. Five
minutes after the first alarm was given
all the guests were out of the building.
The contents of the basement and the
two lower floors were almost entirely
ruined before tho fire was put out.

Delegates to Pan-American Congress
Pleased at Policy.
SANTIAGO. Chile. Dec. 27. Five hun
dred covers were ltld at the official ban
quet last evening given in honor of the
delegates to the Pan-Amorican Scientific
Congress. The cabinet ministers and the
representatives of the foreign powers
were among the guests.
Special attention was directed by the
speakers to the presence of the dele
gates from the United States at the con
gress, and emphasis was laid on the sol
idarity of the American Continent. The
Argentine delegate proposed the health of
President Roosevelt and Secretary Root
for their great sc,nylces to Pan-Americanism,
which was ficartily responded to.
The American delegates have indicated
that they have no wish to hold office In
the Congress, and this has created an
excellent Impression. Inasmuch as it per
mits the representatives of the smaller
republics to become more prominent in
the discussions.

THOSE who have seen "Are You a Ma
son?" need not be told what fun It Is
to witness the efforts at dissemblance
practiced by the married men of the play
on their unsuspecting and trusting
spouses; what a clever bit of masquerad
ing falls to George Fisher; what ludi
crous situations, and without number,
follow each other from asbestos curtain
to asbestos curtain; but to any who have
been denied the chance to "laugh his
head off' over this cleverly constructed
comedv, the Bungalow furnishes the op
portunity this week to mitigate the de
privation. To such it is to be told that
not-to have seen ."Are You a Mason? ' is
to have missed something worth while.
Of all the farces of recent years, this one
never fails to accomplish the purpose of
its creation mirth.
This holiday season, when all men
would best be happy, good-natured and
disinclined to be hypercritical, it seems
harsh to say an unkind word; but despite
the fact that the past few weeks made
strenuous demands on the members of
the Baker Stock Company, and with
Christmas coming In to disconcert, still
It is a pity that more time might not
have been devoted by the actors to per
fecting themselves In the lines and busi
ness of this funmaker before called upon
to gi-e it a public presentation. These
talented people, however, are wonder
fully recuperative, and it is really J-t
to say too much in the way of complaint
about a first performance, for with an
other try after yesterday afternoon s show
they will, without doubt, make the thing
go with their accustomed dash and per-

"Why Girls Leave Home"
at the Star
ET has long been a matter of specula
tion as to why they do. Some of our
most learned savants and moralists
have pondered the matter prayerfully
and arrived at no one single conclusion.
It has remained for a melodrama au
thor, by name Fred Summeriield. to
explain the why Tore. Whoever Fred
Summerfleld is nobody knows, but who
ever and wherever ho is. it is to be
hoped that he is reasonably well In
fact, equally as strong as when he gave
an cBger world this masterpiece of dra
matic literature. If the distinguished
author overlooked anything in tlte
melodramatic line, it is not apparent.
Now. this play opened a week's run at
the Star Theater yesterday afternoon,
and. shedding Its coat and rolling up
its sleeves, took hold on the moral up
lift at so much the uplift. It is a play
calculated to do some good, particular
ly the owner, provided the public dis
plays sufficient interest to patronize
the box-office.
An audience which packed the the
ater to Its doors yesterday afternoon
seemed to think well of the piece and
performance, and It certainly got its
money's worth in action. There is
hardly time to draw a full breath be
tween thrills, and there is some scencry
that made even a Stair & Havlln gal
lery sit up and realize that tilings were
going on. The interpreting company
interpreting is the proper word spoke
the lines and went through the strenu
ous situations In a manner calculated
to please a not too exacting auditor,
and everybody but the villain and his
assistants felt that a good time had
been had when the orchestra played a
ragtime recessional and the crowd filed
out.
All those who have been mulling1 this
great problem over In their minds since
time was will bo enlightened as to
"Why Girls Leave Home" by visiting
the Star tiiis week. They may also be
entertained, possibly amused, and may
be edified. It is a show which some
such mighty pen as Laura Jean Libby's
should describe. The average plug
newspaper writer finds himself power
less, and all that he In his weakness
can do is to check It up to the critical
audiences which It is likely to draw
to the Star during the succeeding six
days. There will be the usual matinees.
