THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 25, 1903. HIS TALE OF THE SLAYING GASTROXOVO TESTIFIED YESTER DAY IX HIS OWX BEHALF. Alleged Murderer Sara He First Tried to Hide from Saloonkeeper Whom He Killed. John Castronoi'o, on trial for the murder of Joseph Gugiielmo. testified yesterday In his own defense, through Joseph Dacoy, an interpreter. Castronovo stated that on his way home he dropped into Guglielmo's saloon to get another drink. He played the slot ma chine, and the nickel would not slip through. He shook and pounded the machine and Gugllelmo told him to stop, as he had already put it out of order. Castronovo said he replied that the ma chine did not work. Some more words passed. Gugiielmo started for him and Castronovo flung & bottle of wine, which he had got at another saloon, at Gug iielmo. The latter then put him but and punched him twice. He ran up the street followed by Gugiielmo, his son and the bartender. Castronovo, coming to the fatal part of the affray, stated that he had stepped into an offset in a wall to hide, but Gugiielmo saw him and pulled him out with one hand, at the same time holding a revolver in the other. Castronovo said he grabbed the wrist of the hand in wh'ch Gugiielmo held the revolver, took out his knife, which he opened with his teeth, and stubbed the saloonkeeper sev eral times. Afterwards he ran away. Attorney D. li. Murphy objected several times to the questions and answers pro 5oundd by the interpreter, saying they did not agree with what his Interpreter thought was correct, but after having the questions and answers repeated sevoral times, Mr. Murphy withdrew his ob Jectlons. The defendant and tho jury were taken to the saloon and the scene of the crime yesterday afternoon. The trial will be concluded Monday. DODGED THE DEPUTIES. Hook Agent, Acquitted of Forgery, Sues for Dnmagcx. O. C. Stein, who came here from San Francisco to prosecute a forgery caso against John Lumlcy, evaded tho service of a complaint and summons In a $10,000 damage suit by boarding the California express train Thursday night at Oregon City. Lumley was acquitted by tho jury, and his attorneys immediately afterwards filed the $10,000 damage case against James Clark & Co., of New York City, John Wanamaker and Stein. Tho latter is tho Pacific Coast agent of Clark & Co. In the matter of the handling of the Wanamaker Century Dictionary and Atlas. It was necessary to serve him with the papers in the suit in this state, and it was supposed that service on Stein as agent would be sufficient to bring James Clark & Co. and John Wana maker into court to defend the case. Stein must have got wind of the affair somehow, because several Deputy Sher iffs searched for him diligently without success. They finally ascertained that the young man had wisely boarded a trolley car for the Falls City," and had there taken tho train which bore him rapidly out of the jurisdiction of Oregon officers. and a policeman took him to the station, whero he was afterwards examined and cared for by Dr. Slocum. At that time. Wall did not appear to be fatally injured, and when his wound was dressed he was placed in the main cell. Shortly after 9 o'clock last night he grew worse and died before medical assistance could be se cured. His body was taken to Coroner Finley's undertaking rooms. VAN QUISHED A SOPRANO. She "Wanted to Sing a Solo, Hut Church-Going Dog Made It a Duet. For one long hour Disaster, personified by a large black dog, spread a cloud of dark forebodings over the celebration of a silver wedding in an East Side church on Friday evening last. The occasion was the 25th anniversary of the marriage of Rev. J. H. Gibson and his wife. The congregation of the United Presbyterian Church, of which Dr. Gibson is the respected pastor, tendered the couple a reception in the church, and in addition to the invited guests the dog appeared In the auditorium. The canine was undeniably filled with MAY GET JTO MCEXSE. Saloonkeeper at Troutdale Runs Foul of Recent Decision. B. C. Larson, a saloonkeeper at'Trout dale, yesterday filed a receipt of the Coun ty Treasurer in the County Auditor's office showing thepayment of $100 for a license to sell liquors at Troutdale for a period of three months. Under the re cent decision of the court that on a peti tion for a license for a year, it cannot be paid quarterly, Larson may be refused a permit by the County Court. Several county officials state that Robert Wlltse. who conducts the White House near Fulton, has no license at all, and that there are a number of other persons in the county conducting roadhouses who have not taken out liquor licenses for a long time past.

Nendel against the Portland City & Oregon Railway Company, returned a verdict yesterday afternoon in favor of Nendel for $1550. He sued for $5000. Nen del was a conductor on the Oregon City line, and was injured on August 4, 1901, at First and Couch streets, while attempt ing to couple two cars together. He said that the accident occurred because the machinery of one of the cars was defec tive. The defense of the company was that the motorman was to blame, and that he propelled the car of which he was in charge too fast. Still Holds the Diamond'. In the suit of Rose E. Vrant against John E. Blazler to recover a diamond ring valued at $150, Blazler has filed a pe tition in the State Circuit Court for a writ of review. The case was tried in Justice Reld's court, and Mrs. "Vrant won.

Mr. Fisher has left for parts unknown. Hackdriver Dies in Jail. Charles Wall, brother of the well-known "Flesty'' Wall, a Second-street rounder, suddenly died in the City Jail, last night nresumably from an attack of apoplexy. Wall was about 30 years old.- For a num ber of years he had been addicted to the use of Intoxicating liquor, and has often been at tho police station. He was a hack driver by trade. Yesterday afternoon, he was seen staggering along Second street curbstone. Blood flowed from the wound, a genial desire to see the affair pass off successfully, and commenced operations by a rapid triumphal progress through the rooms. Sleek, well fed and of good address, as the advertisements say, his dogshlp was graciously received by the audience, whose one desire a little later was to see the beast die a sudden and ig nominious death. Scarcely had the entertainment begun when it was apparent that the dog was going to do a few stunts himself. As the chairman, a sedate young man, nervously announced the opening selection, the dog appeared on the platform and solemnly surveyed the audience. The tittering lis teners focussed their attention on the canine, and the stacatto labors of the pianist fell upon unheeding ears. At the close of the solo the dog ran over to the chairman to express his ap preciation, and that gentleman, perceiv ing that he was expected to do something, took a gentle hold on the animal's neck and started for the stage exit But the dog had entirely different Ideas on the subject He let a sudden yelp escape that made the blushing chairman release his hold. A gentleman who wore a benignant ex pression and a white vest made tho next venture. "Good doggie; there's a good doggie," said he, and endeavored to pat the beast upon the head after the episcopal manner. But the good doggie was not to be be guiled by words of praise. Neither could he be led into temptation by pieces of cake, and in despair the chairman an nounced a vocal solo by a young woman. The singer and the dog waited for the opening chords. Then tho clear soprano voice swelled through tho auditorium in solitary splendor. In other words, the young woman beat the dog to it She got a good start, and was leading the dog by about four bars when he recovered from his surprise, and commenced to atone for his delay. His dogsh'.p had determined that the selection was to be a duet But the soprano re fused to continue, and suddenly collapsed in her seat The chairman sprang to his feet His right hand sought his pistol pocket, but he restrained himself with an evident ef fort Those who closed their eyes, ex pecting to hear a report of a gun, were disappointed. It was plain to the chair man and to the audience that a crisis had" been reached. It was simply a ques tion which should go out of tho church the audience or the dog for he had now captured the premises and the entertain ment had come to a halt. It was certainly up to the chairman. While he appeared willing and anxious to retire, he knew he had a duty to per form, and he decided that the dog should be ejected if the effort cost him his life. He would have cheerfully given any one six-bits to have ushered that dog out of the church quietly, but no one offered to undertake the Job, so he and an usher had to do it It is safe to say that they will never, no never, undertake such a job asaln. As the unsuspecting canine was circu lating up the aisle toward the platform the chairman swung onto his tall with a death grip. An usher grabbed him by the ears. Then the battle was on. The dog wanted to stay, and said so m many keys, chords and discords. The chairman and usher pushed and pulled, fore and aft, and the dog uttered his pro tests in one continuous crescendo move ment But the trio gradually neared the door. In the vestibule there was a final des perate scuffle, and then the audience heard the dog give a parting yelp as he hit the sidewalk on the outside with a thud that conveyed a keen delight to the vanquished soprano. After the doors had been carefully closed, the entertainment went on to the end without interruption. BRIXGS CHICAGO NEARER. Seventy Hours Is the Time East Via "Chicago-Portland Special."

It is considered probable that Albina and Sellwood will co-operate In the matter of free ferry legislation. Samuel Connell, president of the Albina Improvement As sociation, says that this is now the prop'er course to take. The outcome of this combination, if it be made, will be that a united effort will be made to secure the passage of a bill to Issue bonds to build a new and powerful ferry-boat for Lower Albina, one that can make trips every 10 minutes, and then turn over the Mason, the present boat for the Sellwood ferry. The Mason is in good condition, and would serve the Sellwood people for 10 years, or even a longer time. It has just been Improved and practically rebuilt, so that it is in excellent condition. It is a better boat than Sellwood would probably get from an independent ferry bill. D. M. Donaugh, A. Wills and other mem bers of the Sellwood ferry committee, think that this co-operation of the two sections would bo a good thing. It Is estimated that if Sellwood were given the Mason for a ferry It could be put Into operation for about $5000. It would cost about $2500 to provide landings on both sides of the river, and about this sum to provide a new steel cable. What it would cost to build a large new ferry for Albina, capable of handling the grow ing traffic there. Is not known, but a boat that would answer the conditions would not cost under $25,000 or $30,000. President Connell Is quite sure that If Albina can not get another ferry It should be pro vided with a large boat that can handle the traffic. EMERY'S RESIGXATIOX. He May Remain a Member of the RusMellvillc Board of Directors. The resignation of E. M. Emery, of Rus sellville District No. 40. will not be ac cepted. He had made up his mind to in sist on his resignation standing, but so much pressure has been brought to bear on him by County School Superintendent Robinson and others, to remain a mem ber of the board, that yesterday he said he would remain. His work fqr the last 10 years In that district has shown him to be a useful man for director. If the bill pending before the Legisla ture making it permissible to combine dis tricts and build up strong ones should pass, Russellvllle Schoolhouse will be a center, and will be the point where other fxnaller districts will centralize. For the reason that the district may become Im portant, Mr. Emery is wanted on the board. There is a movement by the Mansfield settlement to cut out a new school dis trict taking portions of South Mount Tabor. Montavilla and Russellvllle. Mans field Is made up of the extreme ends of these three districts. However, It is con sidered improbable tnat this will be done for some years to come. Under the pend ing school bill pupils in remote districts will be conveyed to the central school house free of cost to parents, and those in Mansfield would have this privilege. WANTS BETTER ROADS.

A good, straightforward letter was re cently sent by a bright, clever youth which, shows his ability to go to the bot tom of a trouble and rectify it He says: "I attended High School for three years, but made little progress. did not enjoy good health; my food was not properly digested; this caused head ache, and hence I could not study. J tried taking exercise in the football field, but was unable to stand it as it always Increased my headache. "During the Summer holidays I began eating Grape-XMUts, and the benefit was immediate, the headache stopped, my food digested properly, so that I had no more stomach trouble, my general health Improved, my weight increased and my brain was clear and bright "The result was that this Summer I procured junior leaving and junior matrlc -ulatlon standing. I also took my place on the football team as halfback and played in all the games of 1901. "This wonderful Increase In mental and physical health I attribute to no other cause than the nourishment I got from Grape-Nuts. I recommend them to every body who desires health. I am only a boy of 17 years, but my weight Is 148 pounds, and this weignt was procured solely by tho use of Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum uereai jo., uatuo Creek, Mich. There Is a reason why Grape-Nuts should' correct a delicate physical or a sluggish mental condition. The food is highly nutriUous and is predlgested, so that it helps the digestive organs to. as similate other food. It is also rich in the phosphates that go dlrecUy to make up tho delicate gray matter of brain and nerve centers. LAST WEEK ! Great Clearance Sale !
