LIFE TERM TO BE GIVEN
Conviction Is Found for Slaying of
- Mrs. Jennings and Sentence Is
to Be Pronounced Tills Week.
I Appeal Slay Be Taken.
' HILLSBORO, Or.. Sept. 13. (Special.)
Just 33 minutss were required by a
Jury in the Circuit Court here tonight
to return a verdict of guilty against
Bennett Thompson, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Helen Jennings. The
Jury retired at 7:45 o'clock and re
turned at 8:18 with the decision that
probably win send Thompson to the
Penitentiary for life.
More than 100 persons were in the
courtroom when the verdict was read.
So conclusive did the attendants at the
trial consider the case against the Jit
ney murderer that they expected a
prompt conviction.
Crowd Walts) for Verdict.
Instead of leaving when the Jury re
tired, as is usual in murder cases, those
present remained in their seats and
there was little surprise when the Jury
filed in with its verdict, signed by Paul
Beck, the foreman.
Although Thompson was tried only
for the murder of Mrs. Jennings, his
conviction practically fixes his guilt
aleo of the death of Fred Ristman. the
Jitney driver whom Thompson hired
to drive him to the Gore farm, where
the double tragedy was enacted on the
night of May 15 last. '
""Every Juror nad his mind made up
before the argument began," said one
of the Jurors tonight.
"In the Jury room we fitted the ham
mer 'with which Rletman was killed
to the wrapping of the package that
Thompson had been seen carrying tho
night of the murder. It fitted per
fectly. Graphite Stains Match.
"We compared the graphite and
blood spots on the outer" shirt and un
dershirt. They matched absolutely. We
were convinced Thompson could oper
ate the Jitney under stress. The alibi
had not been proved by disinterested
witnesses.
"One ballot was taken. We were
unanimous in our conviction of Thomp
son's guilt. We finished our cigars
and reported."
Thompson stood up in a slouching
position, with his hands on his hips,
when the verdict was given. He had
eyed each Juror entering the court
room searchingly and. had found no
hope.
The brief time the 12 men had been
out was in itself enough to convince
him he had lost. His face was grim
and white. He was led from the room
by Sheriff Reeves.
Sheriff Reeves announced that he
would put Thompson under special
guard tonight, and will continue the
precaution until he is taken to Salem.
Judge Bagley will pronounce sen
tence of life imprisonment the last of
the week.
An appeal may be taken, said At
torney Hurst.
Final argument in the case closed at
S:40 tonight, the Jury received instruc
tions at 7 o'clock and the fate of Ben
nett Thompson was delivered into its
hands.
Defendant Little Interested.
Arguments began an hour before
noon and the steady piecing together
of circumstantial evidence by District
Attorney Tongue and efforts of Attor
neys Huston and Hurst for the defense
to shatter the state's alignment con
tinued all day.
Every seat in the large courtroom
was occupied and 100 persons lined the
walls and blocked the entrances. In
terest was intense.
Through It all sat Thompson, his left
hand in an overalls pocket, his face
resting on the right, occasionally rock
ing back and forth In his tilted chair.
He was cool and displayed little nerv
ousness, but his face was pale and seri
ous. At times, when the District At
torney's tongue-lashing became par
ticularly stinging, Thompson gave no
notice that he heard except an almost
imperceptible narrowing of his eyes.
Defense Asks for Motive.
"Mrs James Thompson knows down
In her heart that if Ben was not home
that night he committed those murders.
and if he did he would do the same
thing to her If he got a chance. Why
should she help him avoid a life sen
tence?" was a point made by Attorney
Hurst.
"If Thompson, knowing the country
perfectly, decided to commit this mur
der, why did he go down on the street
and attract attention to himself by
dickering with Jitney drivers?" Attor
ney Huston asked the Jury.
'What could have been Thompson's
motive?" and "How could a man who
had never been seen at the wheel of
an automobile have committed those
crimes?" were questions both pro
pounded.
In concluding his argument. Attorney
Huston contended that because of puz-

Longshoremen . . Heckle President
During Speech Explaining Strike
Settlement in San Francisco.
SEATTLE, . Wash.. Sept. 13. A police
escort was necessary to see Andrew
Furuseth, president of the Internation
al Seamen's Union, safely from the
Labor Temple tonight, after a meeting
of the Central Labor Council broke up
In disorder at the conclusion of an ad
dress by Furuseth.
He showed sympathy with the San
Francisco Longshoremen's Union In
settling the strike there against the
wishes of the longshoremen at North
Pacifio Coast ports.
While he was addressing the Labor
Council, sympathizers of the local long
shoremen, who still are on strike,
heckled President Furuseth, and at the
conclusion of his address, bombarded
him with questions and demands for
explanations of the San Francisco labor
leaders' action in sanctioning settle
ment of tho strike there against the
wishes of the longshoremen in other
Coast cities.
Finally. Mr. Furuseth said he must
catch a steamer for "Victoria and left
the hall while men in the audience
shouted, "Coward," and rushed toward
the door.
Furuseth hurried downstairs, pur
sued by a throng of men, who threat
ened violence. A policeman stationed
at the entrance to the labor temple res
cued Furuseth, and protected him until
additional policemen arrived to escort
him to the wharf, where he boarded the
night boat for Victoria.
TAXES PAID!BUT NO STREET
C. SI. Hyskell Heavily Assessed, "Vet
Can't Reach Property.
When a property owner is paying as
sessments on seven different street Im
provements he should be able to reach
his property with a delivery wagon,
in the opinion of C. M. Hyskell, who has
property on Corbett street, in South
Portland. He complained to the Coun
cil yesterday that he cannot reach his
property in spite of all the street im
provements that have been put through
and paid for.
He complains that the city, after
building walks and grading the street,
has allowed slides to block It In sev
eral places. He wants the street
opened up.
CHANNEL DUG FOR BEAR
Efforts to Pall Steamer Into Water
Prove of No Avail.
EUREKA, Cal.. Set. 12. (Special.)
Finding that there is little to be ac
complished by pulling on the steamer
Bear, ashore near Cape Mendocino, the
salvage crew now is placing its reli
ance on being able to pump away
enough sand from around the steamer
to make a basin for her.
This is . proving slow work, as the
tidal action washes in sand in quanti
ties every day; but reports Indicate
that some headway is being made. In
the meantime the wrecking tug Salvor
at sea and logging engines ashore are
keeping a strain on the lines to prevent
the Bear washing higher on the shore.

Governor Withcombo " did not think
that ten weeks in active military serv
ice would make such a change in the
boys.
But he was thoroughly convinced
when he reviewed them at Clackamas
field yesterday afternoon.
It was the same Third Oregon, sure
enough, but it was a regiment trans
formed. All evidence of inexperience had been
replaced by unmistakable signs of
military training. The "civilian
slouch" had entirely disappeared.
It was a gala day at Camp Withy

Officer Under Arrest Charges Deten
tion Without Hearing in 10 Days
Required by Army Code.
TACOMA, Wash.. Sept. 13. An alle
gation that he is being held a prisoner
at Camp Brown, in contravention of
the articles of war of the United
States, is made by Captain David Liv
ingstone, Company M. of Centralia.
Wash., who today obtained a writ of
habeas corpus in the Federal District
Court directed against Colonel' Will
lam Inglis, Second Washington In
fantry. The writ, which seeks to com
pel Colonel Inglls to release Captain
Livingstone from arrest. Is returnable
September 19 in the Federal Court at
Seattle.
The Second Washington, now at
American Lake, only recently returned
from the Mexican border, having been
stationed at Calexico for seven weeks,
and still is in Federal service.
It. is alleged by Captain Livingstone
in his petition that, as the result of the
escape of a prisoner while Livingstone
was officer of the day, abusive and un
printable epithets were used by Colonel
Inglls toward hlna. When Captain
Livingstone demanded an apology, he
says. Colonel Inglis demanded that he
make a specific statement in writing.
On the advice of .Colonel McDonald,
of the Inspector-General's office, U. S.
A., Captain Livingstone says he placed
the matter before the commander of
tho Western Department, and so in
formed Colonel Inglis.
Then, the petition states, he was
placed under arrest and has been in
detention since August 20, although the
articles of war provide that an accused
officer or enlisted man must be given
a. hearing within 10 days after arrest,
which he charges has not been ac
corded him.
FIRST FLOUR MILL FOUND
Oldest Plant of Kind on Coast Is
Unearthed at Astoria.
ASTORIA. Or.. Sept. 13. (Special.)
What is believed to be the remnant
of the first "flouring mill" on the Pa
cific Coast was unearthed a few days
ago by workmen who were making an
excavation at the corner of Seventh
and Bond streets. The relic consists of
two hand millstones, each weighing
several hundred pounds. They were.!
carved from granite and both are in a
splendid state of preservation. '
There is no ' record of where the
stones came from, but the general
opinion is they were brought by the
American ship Beaver, which arrived
in this harbor on May 6, 1812, with rein
forcements for the Astor colony.

BY FRED B. PITNET.
PARIS. Sept. 13 (Special.) For the
first time in two years a battle was
waged yesterday on the western front
in the open field, where strategy, tac
tics and maneuvers of troops rather
than assaults on trenches won an ad
vance. This, more than anything else,
serves to show the extent of the French
gains in the Somme offensive and the
tremendous advances they have made.
Between Combles and the Somme
there is a gap more than four and a
half miles wide, cut clear through
German lines of fortifications that
were two years in the building, and
yesterday the French. debouching
through the gap, defeated the Germans
in a series of maneuvers in tho open
country and drove them back a dis
tance varying from nearly three kilo
meters on the north to a little more
than 500 meters on the south, making
possible the capture of Bouchavesnes.
Soldiers Battle for Homes.
Yesterday's battle was divided Into
three parts and was fought by troops
battling veritably for their homes, for
the French soldiers engaged were those
coming from the invaded districts.
Two nights of unremitting cannonad
ing utterly demolished the German
trenches and the difference between
the trenches here and those farther
west was shown ty the results of the
bombardment.
The western line were the finished
effort of two years labor of the best
military engineers in the world. The
trenches carried yesterday were those
of an army operating in the field
which had been allowed a few days'
respite to dig itself in.
Ground Woat Q.alcklr.
The difference was such that 30 mln
utes after the charge sounded the
French carried the whole line of the
German entrenchments from Combles
to the river. This was the first part
of the battle, and it was followed by
the fight in the open.
As soon as the trenches were carried
the French guns were lifted, and the
75s raised a barrier east of the Per
onne-Bethune road, preventing the

visionof the primary law does not
operate in the Senatorial contest.
Humphrey's campaign managers had

to them.
