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."

COMEDY
RIVOLI NEWS
For six years the world has waited to see "TheMasquerader" in films just as Richard Walton
Tully presented it on the stage, just as Guy Bates Post created the dual roles of John Chilcote,
M. P., and John Loder. Now all those things have happened at once. "The Masquerader" has
come to the screen with redoubled force. It is as outstanding among motion pictures as it was
among stage dramas. It grips, and thrills and fascinates in a way few productions on stage or
screen have ever done. And, added to that, it is an artistic masterpiece. "The Masquerader"
will be lasted among the finest pictures of the season . . . and it is doubtful if there will be
any to surpass it.
