18- THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1900. ; PECULIAR ACTIONS TOLD OF ON STAND Many Witnesses Called in Col lins Trial to Support Insanity Theory. WOMAN IS ' INTERESTED 1 1- Accnscd -Widow of Dead Doctor Is More Composed Than Before and at Times Starts to Interrupt Testimony Frlsbie Talks. When Circuit Juris Ga?ens adjourned court last night, eeveral witnesses ,or the defense In the murder trial of Mrs. Kate M. Collins had been placed on the witness stand, each one saying that he or she believed Mrs. Collins crazy at the time her husband. .Dr. Ray A. Collins, was shot. --. The state rested Its case Just after eourt convened for the afternoon session. The case may go to the Jury late this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Mrs. Collins seemed more composed during tne trial yesterday than at any time slr.ee she has been in court. She seemed In terested In the testimony of the wit nesses, and at one time started to her feet as though she would like- to reply to something a witness had said. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Garber. her daughter and son-in-law. were by her si, stroking her hand pccasionally. and in every way endeavoring to keep her as calm as pos sible Once or twice she laid her head upon her daughter s shoulder, aa though very tired of it all. Witness Tells of Peculiarities. Mrs. Mabel W. Ashley, a cousin of Mark Van Winkle. Mrs. Collins- first husband, was the first witness for the defense. She had known Mrs. Collins for the last 25 years, she said, and recalled a time. 30 years ago. when Mrs. Collins was 111 at the home of her father, P. U mills "Mrs. Collins insisted that some one elt by the bed at night to keep her awake." said Mrs. Ashley, "as she said she would not awaken if allowed to sleep. Once he came hurriedly up to me and shouted in my face that she was the devil. I tried to convince her that she was not. She thought herself very wicked, and said she had murdered some one. I was not afraid of her. but thought Che would br-ar watching. Other mem bers of the family were afraid of her." Mrs. Irene -Willis. Mrs. Ashley's mother, told of a key which Mrs. Collins held very tightly in her hand. "I slept with her. and tried to take It away after Mrs. Collins had dozed off." said Mrs. Willis, "but I could not. She Jumped up once while we were eating dinner and said the world was coming to an end. Mrs. Wil lis was cross-examined at length by Dep uty District Attorney Fitzgerald. Joseph Thwaites, a photographer, W. H. Grindstaff. a local real estate dealer, and Mrs. A. M. Blair, wife of J. W. Elalr. who resides at the Hill, were also called to testify regarding Mrs. Collins' mental condition. Tht-y thought her in sane when she did the murder, as did Mrs. Ashley and Mrs. Willis. Mrs. Blair thought Mrs. Collins did not know tiie difference between right and wrong at the time of the shooting. She saw her the day before, she said. M. L. Kline, wholesale plumber, said' that he expected years ago that Mrs. Collins would either become 111 or insane on account of the high tension she was under In having to support her two children single handed. He said she told him three or four times she was being done up by somebody, but he could never find out to whom she referred. Dr. Frlsbie on Stand. Dr.' C. B. Frisble was the chief witness for the state yesterday morning, but will be called by the defense today to say that he believes Mrs. Collins was insane when the murder was committed. This Is said to be contrary to the statement he made to the grand Jury Just before Mrs. Collins was indicted. Dr. Frlsbie said Mrs. Collins telephoned him about 8:30 on the morning of June 24. Just after the shooting, and told him to "come quick, not to waste a moment." He said he tried to find out the trouble, but fall ing, hired a taxlcab. Aa he neared the house at 723 Flanders street, he said he saw Mrs. Collins in the doorway, wildly "waving her arms, and saying. "Come In, come in; he's gone, he's gone." "I took her by the arm." continued Dr. Frisble, "and asked her where he was. She said. 'In the basement.' Still hold ing her arm, I descended the cellar stairs, and found the body lying a few feet away. I passed one hand over the body to see If Dr. Collins was dead, still hold ing to Mrs. Collins' wrist. The body was still warm. She asked. "I suppose you want to know why I did It,' I told her not to talk. Then she began to wall, "He was bo unmanly.' "I asked her where the revolver . was, and she said.' 'In the trunk. I opened It and saw the revolver. Mrs. Collins tried to reach it. but I knocked her hand down. Perhaps that accounts for the black and blue mark on her arm at the time." The physician said she had a wild look In her eye, her talk was incoherent, and she fainted.- Autopsy Is Described. Dr. B. J Wiley, who performed the autopsy, said the bullet entered Dr. Col lins" right chest, pierced the apex of the lung, the aorta, and passed out the left side. The coat and tie were powder burned. Detective Snow, who took Mrs. Collins Into custody, said she was very nervous, and had to be supported to be kept from falling. She continually asked him to bring Dr. Collins back, he said, and rolled her eyes about. He testified she told him she didn't remember anything, and later said her husband had abused her and had spont j:1) of her money in a trip to Honolulu. "I asked her if she did the shooting, and she answered. "If you say so it must be so, I must have done It." Detective Snow Identified the revolver early yesterday afternoon, and said when he found It he could tell by the odor that It had been recently fired. Coroner Dunning was among yesterday morning's witnesses. KCIV OF HOME IS ALLEGED Albert Cox Seeks $20,000 Damages From Charles Harrington.

PRIZES ARE SOUGHT ' N Oregon After Awards at Dry Farming Congress. MANY PLANNING TO ATTEND Trophies Hung Up by James J. Hill Incentive to Central Oregon Resi dents for . Advertising of Sec tion That Is Expected. It seems assured that a large delega tion from the Deschutes Valley will at tend the National Dry Farming Congress at Billings, October 26 to October 28. H. A. Jackson, assistant general freight and passenger agent for the Great Northern in Portland, has received acknowledge ment from 10 or 12 delegates who have signified their intention of going to Bill ings, saying they will send exhibits to Vompeto for the prizes which James J. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern, has offered for the best exhibits of farm products grown In the Deschutes Valley of Oregon, Wash ington east of the Cascades, and Mon tana. One of these special prizes is a silver cup for each stale, which the Oregonlans hope to win. They are also of the opin ion that they can win the silver cup for the best Individual exhibit of Turkey Red ! variety of Winter wheat, as well as some of the cash prizes. If Oregon Is success ful In carrying off any of these prizes It will increase land values in Central Ore gon, as nothing else can do. It Is thought, and for that reason- delegates from all over Oregon are making a special effort to be present to boost for Oregon in gen eral. The following have signified their In tention to attend the congress: J. G. Edwards, Hay Creek; I. 3. Geer, Burns; C. A. Danneman, Clem; C. T. Oliver, Klamath Falls; William T.

VISIT WILL NOT BE EXTENDED No Entertainment Is Planned for Street Railway Men. President Josselyn, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, has given up all efforts to induce the visiting delegation of the Massachusetts Street Railway . ssociatlon to extend its Itin erary in Portland. The delegation, which will arrive here at 7:10 A. M., October 15, and depart at noon the same day, with 80 representatives. Is giving Portland the shortest stay of any city of any impor tance along the line. President Josselyn has' done all in his power -to Induce the travelers to give Portland a longer visit, telling them that in five hours but a part of the city could be shown. In view of the fact that the other cities are being given from a day to three days, and that the Portland stay will not be lenghened, nothing In the way of entertainment of the delegates will be attempted here. The party will be in Seattle for three days, three days In Los Angeles, a day In Santa Barbara, a day and a half In El Paso, one day In Houston, two days In New Orleans and so on all along the line. Portland 'has evidently been considered off the map by the Easterners and the local railroad officials do not like the way their overtures for a longer 'visit were treated. Railroad Row Personals. C. C. Crane, Pacific Coast Passenger agent of the New York Central lines, of San Francisco, visited among rail road men yesterday. John F.

The four upper floors of the building, which will be rented as general office rooms, will not be completed and ready for occupancy until March 1. ETHER A PERFECT MEDIUM Phenomena Discussed by Reference to Wendell Holmes WOODSTOCK. Or., Oct. 1 2. (To tho Editor.) ThiB year of 1900 is the centenary of that great American physicist, poet and essayist, Oliver Wendell Holmes. He was a shining light In Harvard University from 1847 to 1SS2. Educated and refined men and women m all parts of the world' have derived many useful mental suggestions from his beauti ful wrttlng-s about the spiritual side of man, from which alone can be realized the inti mate relationship existing between the father of all spirit life and each of us his offspring. I think one of Holmes' most at tractive and Inspiring hymns, (which ap peared in "The Professor at the Breakfast Table" In 1859). is that which exhibits the poet's conception of the intimate relation ship In love and sympathy of the splrlt father with the life of spirit-man on earth: "O love divine that stooped to share Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear. On thee we cast each earth-born care We smile at pain while thou are near." An old and much beloved friend of mine. Rev. Charles Voysey. of the Thelstlc Church In London, who wished to have this beau tiful hymn In hi? church prayer book, wrote to Holmes In 1871 to request his permis sion to allow the verb "stooped'' to be al tered to "stoops," In order to convey the consciousness of the unceasing presence and sympathy of divine love. Holmes most cordially gave his assent to this request; so the first line of the verse" reads: "O love divine that stoops to share," Surely all thoughtful minds will agree In thinking this alteration from the past to the present tense most appropriate and wel come. The recognition by many leading scientists of today of the marvelous nature of ether as a possible perfect medium for the transference of psyohical thought and phenomena, has surely a momentous basis' for our innate conception of the relation ship existing between the -spiritual and the physical sides of human life on earth. Love, faith and hope are he attributes of the mind of the inward-man; each has the energy of movement, and for movement SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED FOR YEARS Child of Four Would Scratch Her Head for Hours When Fifteen It Got Worse Hair Came Off in Spots Hundreds of Dollars Spent in Vain Cuticura Soothed Like Cold Water on a Burn and CUTICURA REMEDIES CURED HER AT LAST " When I was four years old a humor came out on my' scalp. It would males a thick scab in one night, itching and burning terribly. My father spent many hundreds of dollars trying to find a doctor who oould cure this humor, but none of them could ever help it even a little bit.. At the ago of fifteen years I had the measles, and after that the sore became maturated and I had to soak my hair out before I could comb it. My hair came off in spots and my head was in a bad shape. "About this time a friend of my father suggested he try Cuticura for me. My father took this advice and bought the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used them faithfully and to my surprise they stopped the itching at once, like cold water to a burn. In a week my head was clean from the scab but was very red and inflamed, but I had experienced more relief from the terrible itching and burning than aver before. I did not ex pect to be cured, as I thought that noth ing could do that, but I had to use some thing all the time and Cuticura was cheaper than doctors.- "After some time, to my surprise, I awoke to the fact that my head waa cured. It was as free from the disease as though I had never suffered. I am now forty-two and have never had any sign of my old trouble since I was ured. I owe health, happiness and life to Cuticura. Every one thought it was in curable. I used to dream sometimes that I was cured but thought it never oould be, but Cuticura made the dream come true. Fancy a child sitting up in bed untU ten or eleven o'clock scratch ing her headl I couldn't help it either, the itching was so terrible, night and dav. It is a wonder I lived through it, but I can prove all I have written by my old neighbors. Mrs. Florence E. Ames GetcheU, Box 503, Hallowell, Me., Feb. 9 and 13, 1909." Cuticura Remedl?

This refined medium for spirit ual contact cannot, be found in ordinary matter or in earth's atmospnere. The per fection Ip the qualities of ether for the movement of thought and its expression in near and far off contact, if true and percep tible (as I for one believe), afford addi tional emphasis to the meaning- of many of our purely intellectual, arfectlonate and religious termsf For example, inspiration means a creation of thought. and as thought Implies energy and movement, it requires a frlctlonless, vacuumless and pul satile medium or pathway. Job says, "the inspiration of the Al mighty glveth them understanding." Holmes expresses inspiration In a beautiful way: "Childhood that meeps at the story of sufferlue. that shudders at the picture of wrong, brings down Its Inspiration from God. who Is our home." Communion and prayer are other very expressive terms: In volving the need of a perfect medium. The "Lord's Pruver Our Father," common tj the Jew and the Christian, to be properly appreciated, requires the acceptance of thla perfect pulsatile medium of contact with the spirit-father. The communion between the departed human souls and those still on the physical side of life, which so many believe in. also requires this connecting llriVi The Apostles' Creed, used In the English and American Episcopal Churchea. has thla clause in It: "1 believe In the communion of saints (or spirits)." What spiritual use would this clause be to the members of thla church, if they did not realize the truth of this Intercourse? What good is the Christian faith in the constant care of guardian or ministering angel epirits. without this link or medium of contact? True, indeed. Is that old scientific dictum. "Nature abhors a vacuum." Ether proves the absolute truth of this. Throughout this earth and all material worlds, and through out all space, this mother-medium has not a void in her. She and electricity, com bined in Infinite forms, constitute all that we know as physical matter In objects great and small. ' As the streets, halls and dwellings of onr cities are now made as light as daylight with the new light of electricity, we may rest In hope that the new light science Is developing in the realms of ether and elec tricity will remove the many nightmares with which gross Ignorance and religious dogmas have infested the human mind. With these new thoughts and new knowl edge about ether and electricity In connec tion with our spiritual and physical being, we may better appreciate the following words which Jesus addressed to his disci ples: "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see; for many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them." 7 R.
