had been discharged, lie will be sen

It was 1 P. M. when tne Jury knocked
idly on the door and announced to
th bailiff that they were ready with
a rerdfet. They had then been cut four
hour and 44 minute, a part of which
time was taken up with dinner. They
retired for deliberation at lo.jn.
A Judge Morrow had delivered hi"
charge to the Jury In department No.
J. at the south end of the Courthouse.
th throne; of sensation-seekers who
hare packed the courtroom since the
trial began, crowded Into the room
nnMI there was hardly a passageway.
Judge Morrow therefore decided to re
ceive the vrroict In Department No. 4.
which was not In nse.
Attornej Present at Verdict.
Attorneys Seneca Fouts and John C.
M?Cue did not arrive In the courtroom
until :1S. and until their arrival the
Judge refused to proceed. The Juror
were polled by Clerk Buchtel. each he
ir r asked in torn if he waa satisfied
with the verdict. Mr. Puchtel was then
Instructed to check up the exhibits,
which he did before tne Jury was dis
charged. "I need a bodyguard.- said Clerk
Puchtel Jokingly, a he passed Deputy
Fherlff Bulger oa his way throogh the
crowd from the courtroom. He had a
peckage of $1100 la greenbacks and a

"That might not be a Joke." replied
Bulger, as be accompanied Mr. Puchtel
through the crowd.
At :! Webb was taken back to Jell.
Mr. Carrie Kersh. Jointly Indicted
with Webb for the trunk murder, will

Monday morning, but the Impaneling
of tae Jury will probably occupy the en

sued an order yesterday for a special
Tenlre of JS Juror".
The Webb trial has covered two
weeks and has actually occupied 11
days. It beaan October 10. Deputy
District Attorney Fltsgerald. represent
ing the state, called 39 witnesses and
the defense six.
An error which might have caused
reversal of Ihe case In the Supreme
Court very nearly crept In while Judge
Morrow waa charging the Jury yester.
dav mornlnr. He had given them no
Instructions whatever on manslaughter
and was about to send In only three
blank verdlcta for first degree murder,
second degree murder and acquittal.
TV ask your honor to also Include
the verdict of manslaughter.- sJd At
torney pouts.
-Too have asked no Instruction en
that degree of homicide.- said the
court, "and under the circumstances I
feel Justified In refusing to send In the
verdlct."
"1 supposed it was the duty of the
court to make such Instructions.- said
Foots, -but 1 make thi request only to
get an exception Into the records."
Too request that the Instruction
be gtven at this timer" asked the Judge.
"I do. your honor." replied Fouts.
They were accordingly given. The
court also lntrncted the Jury that in
toxication Is not an excuse for crime,
but that the Juror might consider It In
making op their verdict. ,
Sclf-Iercn.e Outlined.
As to self-defense, the Judae said:
"The riant to take the life of another
In self-defense Is founded on necessity,
real or apparent, and can be resorted
to only when the circumstances are
such as to warrant a reasonable belief
In the party assailed that the killing
Is necessary for the preservation of
his life, or to protect him from great
bodily harm. By the expression 'arreat
bodily harm la meant more than a mere
Injury by the fists, such aa Is likely to
occur In an ordinary assault and bat
tery. The threatened Injury must be
en that would malm, would be perma
nent in Its character, or Involve Immi
nent peril to life and limb. A mere
assault, not felonious, will not furnish
an excuse for the taking- of life. An
assault by the deceased with hi flsta
alone. If there waa an apparent pur
pose and the ability to inflict death or
great bodily harm upon the defendant,
would be sufficient to Justify the kill
ing In self-defense, if Webb believed
he was in Imminent danger of death
or great bodily harm."
The Jury which tried the case Is as
follows: John Vented an. M. O. Clancy.

STRANGER PUZZLES FOLKS
Secreted Camp Maintained
Heights, Then Ho Vanishes.
on
Mysterious flitting of a well-dressed
stranger who for two weeks maintained
a secreted camp on Willamette
Heights, caused resident of the dis
trict to make . a report to Patrolman
Crampton Thursday night, and an In
vestigation Is being made to determine
the man's mission and hia present
whereabouts.
Over a month ago the stranger, who
1 described by the few who have seen
blra as a man of about Si years, above
the medium height, made his camp oa
the brushy hillside, showing every In
dication of a desire to hide himself.
He had two suit cases and a bundle
of blankets, which he hid In the thicket
whenever he left the camp.
He was observed for about two
week, living- alone, and apparently
without occupation. Then. about
three week ago. he disappeared, tak
ing with him part of his baggage, but
leaving part, together with some tools.
Patrolman Crampton found the camp,
which had been deserted for a long
time. It contained some old clothes
with which waa an envelope addressed
to Charle C. Brigs, at Pittsburg, Pa.,
forwarded thence to Scappoose. this
state, and thence to general delivery
at Portland. In the envelope was a bill
for soma books.
The best plaster. A piece of flannel
dampened with Chamberlain's Lini

PLUME HARD TO RESIST
Judtre Lenient With Girl Who
Filches Ostrich Feather.
"I realise that it is hard for a young
woman to resist the lure of an ostrich
plume." said Judge Tazwell yesterday
morning, in extending the mercy of the
court to little Marguerite Marty, who
confessed to falling a victim to the
temptation to pilfer another woman's
headgear. The girl, who is Just past
18 years old. was allowed to go under
continued sentence, a promise being
exacted that she will report to the
court once a week by letter.
Marguerite Marty lived with her
parents at Wilhelmina, near McMInn
vllle, attended the public schools there
and qualified a a teacher. There were
no openings in the local schools, so
she came to Portland and went to work
In a restaurant at 3S6 East Burnside
street. Dolly Bockman, who had charge
of the waitresses, possessed a flowing
black plume, worth $28. and Margue
rite violated the Tenth Commandment
by longing for the alluring bit of frip
pery. In an evil .moment she filched
the plume, hiding it In a dress in her
bureau drawer at 68 East Twenty-second
etreet. North. The owner sus
pected the girl and swore to a search
warrant.
Marguerite waa contrite when she
appeared in court yesterday. She
pleaded guilty, and faltered forth that
she had never been In trouble before.

Mi BRIDGE URGED
Council Street Committee
Adopts Resolution.
NO OPPOSITION IS SHOWN
Council Asked to Authorize Prepa
ration of Preliminary Estimate
of Cost of Ellsworth-Meade
Street Structure.
Construction of another bridge over
the Willamette River, connecting
Meade street on the West Side with the
foot of Ellsworth street on the East
Side, was approved yesterday by the
street committee of the Council, which
adopted a resolution, asking the Council
to authorize the preparation of prelim
inary estimates for the cost of the new
bridge by the City Engineer's office.
The committee was Induced to take
this action yesterday afternoon by a
large delegation of citizens from both
sides of the river In South Portland.
Heading the delegation was Dr. Dav
Raffety, who explained that Improve
ment clubs Interested in the districts
of South Portland on both sides of the
river had agreed upon the site for the
proposed bridge, and said that it was
the plan of the clubs to get tentative
estimates of the cost that steps might
be taken at an early date to get tfTe
project placed on the city ballots next
Jyne. K
At the point selected for the site of
the proposed bridge it was explained
to the committee by Dr. Raffety, the
banks of the river make it possible to
place the bridge nearly 150 feet above
the water, thus making the frequent
opening of the draw unnecessary. It
was also argued that the place selected
was the only one where private 'rights
would not have to be invaded for the
necessarj approaches, and thus no one
could claim injury from that point of
view.
City Engineer Morris, who was pres
ent at the meeting, assured the com
mittee that he was prepared to take
soundings of the river and make an
estimate that would come within from
10 to 20 per cent of the final cost
of the bridge. For this purpose, he
said. It was not necessary to provide
any extra funds for his department.
Several member of the delegation of
citizens made pleas in favor of the
proposed bridge, calling attention to its
necessities. It was explained that it
would unite two important parts of the
population of the city and would make

tive uniforms of blue and of gray they
give practical demonstrations of the solid
ity of the North and the South and typi
fying the spirit that has swept away tha
differences that existed during the re
bellion days.

In giving help to elderly people, suf-
ferine from kidney and bladder alN
ments Folev Kidney Pills excel. Mrs.
John Deethart. Freeport, III., writes: "I
am (13 years old and have suffered for
several vears past with kidney and
bladder trouble. I had great pains in
the small of my back, ami a constant
necesnitv to pass water, which gave me
a severe burning sensation. A while
ago I commenced taking Foley Kidney;
Pills and began to Improve at once.
Now I am well again and never suffer
with backache nor my bladder. All thlg
I owe to Folev Kidney Pills, which I
recommend heartily to all in need o
a kidney remedy." Sold by all drug
