Mi'Dowell. of Portland, and Attor ney Sm Richardson. of Falem. were among tJios who appeared before the Governor and urged that he Intervene to save Morrla from going to the peni tentiary. Sweek held several confer enes with Weat. but all proved un availing until tha final move, which re.tiite, in an extension of time. Morris came to Salem wttfl Sweek and immediately went to the Marlon Hotel, where he remained more or less In tr-e bai-kground during the day and fw people In the hotel knew hie Iden tity.
