Attorney for Defense in Hum

Statements Not Voluntary.
CASE GOES TO JURY TODAY
Iiidcncf Asa Inst Pr. Xortli Is Brief;
Alleged Ixv InlelllRence, of Ac
cawit Ine to Cloe Relatlon-
hlp of Tarents, ArgTiincnt.
roRV.AI.l.lS Or.. April i. (Special.
When the ilt-frnne rested Its ease in
tt-e Humphry trial thin afternoon At
torney Jeffre made several motions
to the Rcneral effect that the Jury be.
Instructed to direa-ard all evidence as
to the confe8ions made by the two
brothers an. I made an extended1 arma
ment, citinit numerous authorities In
lrhalf of 1 is motions. He contended
that the confesalons irera involuntary
and hail not been freely made by the
defendants, but that the testimony
proved that the Humphrys were
nK-ntaily weak and had been subjected
to severe questionings under conditions
that made the examinations an appli
cation of the "third dex-ree."
He assorted further that the written
confession of Charles Humphrys. pre
pared by I'lstrtct Attorney Tona-ue. of
Washington County, and signed by
Humphrys could not be taken Into con
sideration by the Jury, as It was not
in the language of the defendant, but
of the man who wrote It.
District Attorney Bryson made a
brief argument against the motions,
which were overruled by Judge Hamil
ton, who held that the testimony did
not show that the confessions were ob
tained by threat or promise and were
under the rule obtaining In this state
ntltled lo go to the Jury.
Rvldeare A cat ant Dr. Xarta Brief.
The defense made but little showing;
In Its promised effort to prove that
strong evidence existed against Dr.
North as the murderer of Mrs. Orlfflth,
introducing only the testimony of Sher
iff Gellatly. who told of the reason
that made him suspect the dentist, who
vii arrested soon after the murder
and released upon a preliminary hear
ing. The defenne Introduce a number of
witnesses from the vicinity of Dallas
and Yoncalla. who testified that the de
fendants had always borne a good rep
utation and were below the normal In
Intelligence. A physical reason for
their mental Incapacity was advanced
bv the evidence of W. H. Jackson, of
Yoncalla, and Miss Frances Jackson, of
Portland, brother and sister of the de
fendants' mother, who said that the
mother and father of the two brothers
were first cousins. The purpose of this
evidence Is not to claim Insanity as a
defense, but to show that the men are
easily Imposed upon and that their
confession were only the assent by
weak minds to the suggestion of
stronger intellects.
The state holds that the men are far
from Imbeciles, but have a degenerate
Intelligence and are of the type that
only would commit such a crime,
rase Cioea ta Jary Tndajr.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Arthur
Clarke began the opening address to
the Jury on behalf of the state and
had not concluded when court ad
journed for the day. He clearly and
strongly reviewed the testimony that
had been- Introduced. ' The case will go
to the Jury tomorrow.
In part. Deputy Prosecutor Clarke
said: "A norrld crime has been com
mitted and the evidence Is in the hands
of the state's Attorneys appointed to
prosecute James and Charles Humph
rys. fpon their arrest, both men con
fessed before numerous witnesses, giv
ing horrible details of the murder. This
evidence and these confessions you
l ave before you. Tou have been told
how Mrs. Elixa Qrlfflth. a frail widow,
highly regarded by all her neighbors,
lived alone on an isolated farm: how
her friends on the morning of June 1.
Jll. found her gone from her home
and the house In disorder and after a
brief search discovered her dead body
in the shallow pond with abrasions on
her neck and wrists evidently made by
e. rope that was found near the body.
One finger nail was torn, doubtless In
the struggle for chastity and life
against the cowardly brutes who as
saulted her. Fresh scratches were seen
-n the face of Oeorge Humphrys the
morning after the murder, which he
did not hear at o'clock the evening
before. Every detail In the appearance
of tbA bedy of the woman and in the
torn-un condition of the house tallies
exactly with the description of the
crlro given In the confessions of the
defendants- Their guilt Is certain.

Railway Chief Presented With
'Made in Oregon' Product.
BEAST SENT TO ST. PAUL
Weighing 35 Pounds, It Is Captured
by A. K. Thompson, of Soa.slde,
Or., on Humbug Mountain
In Clatsop County.
SEASIDE. Or.. April IJ. (Special.)
To add to his collection 'of Oregonia,
James J. Hill will receive a wildcat In
a few days. So far as Is known Mr.
Hill has no Idea that the animal Is
en route and the first Intimation he
will receive will be its arrival on Ms
doorstep.
The brute, which weighs 33 pounds,
was captured recently on Humbui?
Mountain. Clatsop County, by A. R.
Thompson, of Seaside. It was placed
on exhibition In a store here where It
attracted the attention of a party of
visiting railroad men.
"That'd be a great present for the
'old man'." one of them remarked.
Mr. Thompson was standing by.
"Say. what would be the way to go
about it to send that to Mr. Hill?" he
asked.
"I'll send It to him." remarked George
H. Smitton. assistant general freight
agent of the Great Northern Railway.
-All right: ship It tonight." said
Thompson. "And tell Mr. Hill that's
just a sample of what Oregon can
raise."
Hmltton first made overtures to Gen
eral Superintendent Rogers to freight
the miniature tiger to Portland in his
private car which was lylns; parked
in the yards.
"Nothing, doing." remarked Mr.
Rogers. "1 am taking no chances with
a tiger and my car Is not a circus
special."
As Smitton Jumped on the train he
ordered the local agent to ship the
cat and It left for Mr. Hill's St. Paul
address tonight. Telegrams hae been
sent along Its route of the diet which-
mu
men are warned not to come wlthi
reach of Its steel cage. The animal al
ready has destroyed two stout cases
with Its vicious claws.
Just what Mr. 11111 will think when
exhibit A of Oregon's wild animals
reaches him Is left to conjecture.
been given to the Terminal Company,
which wants to hold It. and which com
pany has already started the laying of
a double track on Front street. Mr. M ti
lls has stated that he Is willing to take
a franchise In some other part of the
city, and It Is likely that this will be
granted him.
The terminal franchise Includes a
rommon user clause, but Mr. Mlllis
states that the Southern Pacific Is not
willing to be forced to pay tribute to
another company to run over their
tracks, and wants a franchise of it
own.
The Terminal Company, now building
Its line In Marshfield. has asked for a
hearing before the Council at North
Bend, but so far no franchise has been
granted the terminal In that city.
H. A. Sumner, representing the Pa
cific Coast Line and the I'aclflo Great
Western, proposing to build from Eu
gene to Coos Bay, has also been In the
city and has applied for a franchise in
North Bend. The Wllsel Company, of
Portland, said to be connected with the
Sumnrr interests, has purchased 450
lots from the Simpson Lumber Com
pany for 175,000. This property Is in
the west part of North Bend and near

OETINGER'S TRIAL BEGINS
Killing of E. W. Mutch In Defend
ant's Saloon Investigated.
Ernest L. Oetlnger, who Is under In
dictment for socond degree murder for
the killing of W. E. MtKch In Octlnger's
saloon at S First street on the night of
January 19 last, went on trial In Judge
Gantenbein's department of the Circuit
Court yesterday. Nine prospective Ju
rors were passed for cause. Court ad
journed shortly after i o'clock in the
afternoon because there were no mora
veniremen on hand to be examined. It
Is expected that a jury will be secured
today.
There were no eye witnesses of the
homicide and Oetlnger's atoTy of it,
whloh he will tell on the stand In his
own behalf, is that he shot in self de
fense. Mutch, who, although a pros
perous man. had a criminal record, is
alleged by Oetlnger to have abused him
to the point where shooting' was neces
sary. The strength of the state's case lies
In the fact that Oetinger dragged the
body of the dead man out the rear door
of the saloon to a court and for a time
e OLD SORES
If an old sora axlsted simply because the flesh was diseased at that
particular spot, it would be an easy matter to apply some remedy directly
to the place that would kill the germs; or the diseased flesh might be
removed by a surgical operation and a cure effected. But the very fact
that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment, and even
return after being cut away, shows that back of them Is a morbid cause
which must be removed before a cure can result. Just as long as the
pollution continues In the blood, the ulcer remains an open cesspool for the
deposit of Impurities which the circulation throws off. S. S. S. cures Old Sores
by purifying the blood. It removes every traoe of Impurity and taint from
the circulation, and thus completely does awav with the cause. When
st be prepared for it. and railroad i 8. S. S. has cleansed the blood, the sore begins to heal, and it Is not a
surface cure, but the heaung process Degins at the Dottom; soon the dis
charge ceases, the Inflammation leaves, and the place fills In with firm,
healthy flesh. Under the purifying and tonio effects of 6. S. S. the system
is built up, and those whose health has been Impaired by the drain and
worry of an old sore will be doubly benefited by its use. Book on Sores
