Justice Considers Evidence In sufficient to Justify Man slaughter Case. THE DALLES, Or.. Aug-. 29. (Spe cial.) Charges of involuntary man slaughter were dropped late this afternoon agrainst Frank A. Gilcrest and A. Stanley Pullin when the sec ond half of the hearing, which be gan, last night, was completed before Justice- of the Peace Allen. Man slaughter charges were placed against the two California men yes terday as a result of the wreck on the Columbia River highway Sunday west of The Dalles, in which Edwin M. Hill of Dufur was killed. T. D. Sweepen, city marshal at Arlington, was the only witness to testify for the state this afternoon. Sweepen was the man who arested Gilcrest and Pullin two hours after Mr. Hill had died. The Arlington marshal testified that the only order he had received over the telephone was to keep oil the lookout for a heavy car in which two men were riding. The car containing Gilcrest and Pullin from Pasadena and Caramel, Cal- respectively, came the nearest to answering the description sent out of The Dalles, and he stopped the car and held, the occupants pend ing the arrival of Sheriff Chrisman. Prisoners Are Siervous. Mr. Sweepen said both Gilchest and Pullen were exceedingly ner vous when arrested and informed on what charge they were wanted in The Dalles, and this strengthened the marshall's conviction that he had caught the right men. He tes tified the Californians were held in jail last night and today despite the fact that the coroner's jury had exonerated them at the inquest. Following the release of Gilchrest and Pullen, Attorney Murphy, who appeared for the defendants, issued the following statement: -It was a frightful charge that was lodged against these boys, and I am glad that they were so prompt ly vindicated. The testimony of reputable witnesses called by au thorities here all went to show positively that Gilchrest and Pullen passed the place of accident fully 15 minutes before this terrible ac cident occurred. Arrest Causes Embarrassment. "It has been a matter of great embarrassment to these boys to be charged with such an offense and they have been flooded with in quiries from their relatives and many friends in California, but they have acted in a straightfor ward and manly manner throughout the three days and are leaving The Dalles tomorrow without any ill ietiing towards any of the offi c.ais." At the conclusion of the hearing District Attorney Galloway said: Every statement that these boys have made in relation t othis case I have found to be truthful. At this hearing no evidence has been de veloped which indicates that these men are responsible for this affair in any way. The whole thing has been the result of a natural miap prehension and resulted from the zeal of the officers to capture those responsible for the tragedy."
