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

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.

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.

ALBIXA AXD SEMAVOOD TO CO
OPERATE FOR FERRY.
United Effort to Secure Passage of
Bill Providing for Free Rides
on River.
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.

A. School Boy Diss Down, to Find
Food to Build Him Rig: lit.
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.
