Dora Jennings Finds Cham
pions Among Good Women
. of Grant's Pass. .'
HELD sONLY ON SUSPICION
Attorneys Secured Who Will De

Prison Brother Said
to
Have Charged Patricide.
JACKSONVILLE. Or., Ootr 2L (Staff
Correspondence.) 'My Savior shall be my
Judge." A sweet contralto voice ltoped
this song Into the warm October after
noon's stillness. A child, perhaps' years
old, paused on her homeward Journey,
bent her small head and listened. Again
rose the voice. The song came from the
throat of Mary Theodora Jennings, IS
years old, burled for a month and over
behind the bars of the Jackson County
Jail, under the suspicion not charge,
mind you of having1 -wantonly murdered
her father, X. M. Jennings, at Granite
urn.
The slender, dark-eyed mountain girl
for she was born in the pnountalns of
Corth Carolina, and since her arrival in
Oregon has lived in its mountains
through the Czar-llko power vested in the
District Attorney of Jackson and Jose
phine Counties has been denied the coun
sel of friends or the guiding- hand of legal
r dvice.
The Iron hand of this ddepotic rule will
be at an end on Tuesday, for at this time
the legal firm of TV. M. Colvig and George
H Durham, attorneys both well known in
Portland, will, through the process of a
writ of habeas corpus, force the District
Attorney, through his youthful brother,
Clarence Reams, to show under what pre
text they have been holding Dora Jen
nings, who Is held only under the supposi
tion -that she is guilty of having knowl
edge or having committed patricide.
Women Take Her Part.
Dora Jennings, 19 years old, was with
out friends until last week. A number of
women in Grant's Pass then became in
terested in the case. They-bocasne wearied
at the protracted incarceration of the
joung girl. These good women refused,
to believe the circulated story that the
daughter was the victim of an unnatural
father, and solicited the aid of these two
eminent attorneys. Without prospect of
Jes. because Dora Jennings was pennl
', ss, Attorneys Colvig and Durham have
t iken up her case.
Since old man Jennings was shot and
1 is brains and blood scattered on the
walls of the little cabin at Granite Hill,
this slip of a girl has been .denied the
right that would have been accorded the
meanest hobo ever accused of a crime
that of legal advice. The first friendly
face she had seen since she was burled
in the Jacksonville jail was that of Attor
ney Colvig.
At first even his visit to the prisoner
was denied by the youthful Assistant-District
Attorney. Colvlgs first visit was
purely philanthropic, for he had yet to bo
appointed by the court as attorney for
Dora.
Attorneys Would Not Be Denied.
Attorneys Colvig and Durham have
grown old in tho law, both have been
District Attorneys and both know the
law, and they demanded the right to see
this girl. Clarence Reames had even de-
r'ed.tlie right of Mrs. Moody and a cousin
of Dora Jennings the privilege of seeing
v.cr. They had called, coming all the way
from Granite Hill, to furnish the prisoner
with a change of meager underwear and
had been told by the Deputy Sheriff, who
v. as acting under tho Instructions of the
yr.ung Assistant District Attorney that
Dora could not be seen.
It so happened that Judge H. K. Hanna
was holding court at that time. Attorney
Durham, when he was confronted by tho
Czar-like prder of young Reames, went
upstairs into the courtroom, broke into
iv case at bar and stated to the court
that ho and his legal partner. Attorney
v'olvlg, Mrs. Moody and her cousin and
two children wished to see Dora Jen
nings, and had been refused admission
to the Jail on an order issued by young
jtonmes. Judge Hanna at once gave per
mission to the attorneys and. relatives of
tl:e prisoner to see Dora.
The murder of old man Jennings is
Er.rouo.ea witn mystery. uora and a
younger sister occupied beds in the same
cabin with the father. A young brother
slept upstairs. Jasper Jennings, the other
son, -who has been locked up in tho coun
ty jail at jGrant's Pass, slept in a cabin
romc distance away. All swear that they
did not hear the shot that killed their
father.
"Placed In Separate Jails.
It was a mallcarrler who brought the
news of the crime to Grant's Pass, and
upon tho investigation of the District At
torney the- arrest of Dora Jennings and
her brother Jasper followed. Jasper was
locKea up in tho Josephine Countr -JalL
Dora, under the reason given that the
Josephine County Jail was jio place for a
gin, was taken to the county jail here.
The truth of the matter is that brother
and sister were separated so-that they
might be subjected to the sweating pro
cess and the 3d degree administered
without giving the prisoners a chance to
compare "notes. It is a way that District
Attorneys have. Thus separated, it was
easy first to subject one prisoner to the
sweating process and then run to the
other with stories, true or fancied, of
what the other had said, and by doing
mis, ana pernaps by saying. "Your broth
or is weakening, you had better tell -what
you Jfcnow," thereby get one or the other
todlyulge what tfey knew of the crime
Tiils process of sweating has forced t
statement from Jasper Jennings. Ho has
alleged to have made something that re
sembles a confession, and he has said to
havo laid the crime upon the shoulders of
Jus sister. In what class would crlmlnolo
gists place Jasper Jennings?
Jasper Is Not a Boy.
Through intent, or perhaps a mistake
tho published stories of this crime have
spoken of Jasper Jennings as a boy, giv
ing -the impression that he was yet to
enter his teens. He is not a boy, he is n
full-grown man, 27 years old, with the
ordinary intelligence of perhaps a half
educated individual. He is engaged to be
married, and his fiance is Blanche Rob
erts. It is she who has corroborated Jas
per Jennings in this flimsy confession.
Through Mrs. Moody it has been learned
that D6ra had no use for Miss Roberts.
In fact, Mrs. Moody says that Dora ob
jected to tho engagement between Miss
Roberts and her brother, and that she
would be the last person on earth to make
a confidant of Miss Roberts. Therefore
the story that she has told that Dora told
her that she had killed her father and
had hidden the rifle in tho bushes, is not
believed, let us say to the credit of the
District Attorney's office, by them.
This story of Miss Roberts' smacks of a
plot. The .first story given out, and as a
reason for the. killing of her father by
Dora, was that she was a victim pf an un
natural and vicious father. Now. there is
another motive for the crime. This story
has it that Jasper Jennings, his sister
Dora and Miss Roberts wanted to attend
the Exposition. It is said that they knew
that their father had several hundred
cellars saved up, and had plotted to get
this money and to spend it in Portland.
Determined to Free Her Sweetheart.
One thing seems true, that Miss Rob
erts, whether by a prearranged agree
ment with Jasper Jennings, or because of'
her love, is determined to get her sweet
heart free. If this is true, then Jasper
Jennings Is doing a cowardly and dastard
ly thing. That the District Attorney's
office Tiaa no direct evidence that Dora
committed the crime is in a- measure borne 1
out by a statement made by him when
he returned from the scene of the crime.
On his return, the District Attorney told
ot having taken the measure of foot
prints that led from the cabin of Jasper
Jennings to that of h!s father, and that
they fitted tho boots worn by Jasper. If
tills is so, why have they kept Dora In
jail all thlstime? Certainly there can
be no mistake between the big logger's
buots worn by a full-grown man and the
rmalj Imprint that would be made by a
girl only 35 years old.
Undoubtedly tho District Attorney be
lieved that Dora had some knowledge of
the crime. Perhaps she has, but she is
not telling what sho knoVs to young
Reams, notwithstanding the fact that she
has been frequently taken to his office,
two blocks away from tho JalL
Dora Is an extraordinary girl. When
sho was told that her brother had con
fessed, and said she had killed her father,
she maintained her stolid silence. Her
only remark is said to have been that she
dld'not know he had anything to confess.

Jefcm ShIIIvhm Estate.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct 21. (Special.)
United States Senator John-H. Mitch
ell, of Oregon, together with W. P.
Hays yesterday, applied to the Su
preme Court for a rehearing in tne con
troversy over the estate ot John Sulli
van, which was oaeciaoa adversely to
Miss Marie Carrau, last month. The re
hearing is asked as attorney for Miss
Carrau, although sho declares that
Hays has no authority to act as her
counsel, having been given notice tnat
his connection with the case was at an
end. As to Senator Mitchell's connec
tion with It at the present time 'she
knows nothing.
Miss Carrau declares that the peti
tion for a rehearing- is not only not
authorized by her, but that she is op
posed to it If it had not been filed,
the remittitur would havo been sent
dpwn to the Superior Court today and
the proceedings In the Superior Court
could have been reopened at once. Miss
Carrau says this is what sho and her
lawyer. Judge Robinson, wish done.
They do not desire any rehearing of
tho matter.
Upon the petition for a rehearing the
name, of John H. Mitchell appears with
that ot Hays as attorneys for Marie
Carrau. The petition. It is authorita.-
tlvely aald, was prepared by Senator
Mitchell himself.
BOND ISSUE IS IN SIGHT.
Washington to Uso School Fund to
Meet Running Expenses.
OliTMPIA, Wash., Oct. 2L (Special.)
Present prospects Indicate that it will
be necessary about the first of next
month for the state to sell another issue
of. bonds to the permanent school fund
In order to keep the general fund on a
cash basis.
If these Indications are carried out it
is also practically certain that all the
money in 'the permanent school fund at
that time will be required to purchase
the issue. This will leave the permanent
school fund without money for Invest-
ment in school district, county of muni.
clpal bonds for some months to come and
create a condition that has not existed in
this state before for many years.
The lsjuanco of tlOO.wO In bonds, which
It Is indicated will be required to carry
the stale through to December, when the
November large tax payments come in,
win increase tne state s oonaed indebted
ness to JL475.O00, or $300,000 more, than it
was on November 1, l&M.
The state In September Issued J330.0CO
in bondot, which were 60ld to the school
fund. The rapid depletion of the general
fund, in spite of this issue, is due to tho
fact that tho running expenses of the
state average about $90,000, while the re-
receipts In September and October, which
are light months, average about $40,000.
In addition to the general running ex
penses, the payments on the various
new buildings authorized at the state
institutions by tho last legislature are
coming In.
Tho state expended last month from
the general fund for expenses, buildings
and other Incidentals about 5140,000. This
month It ha? so far spent. In warrants
paid, J97.3S6.S4. Some of the warrants
paid this month were Issued last month
and there are still J36.3S8 in warrants that
have been issued that have not been pre
sented. The true expenses for October
so far have been $58,779.62, representing
the amount in general fund warrants Is
sued since the SOth of September. If the
expenses are as heavy this month as last,
and there is little reason to expect them
to be lighter, there will be about $32,000
yet to issue.

Icrantlnc San Francisco Xawyer Is

When tho Order or Ex-' "
tradition Arrives.
VICTORIA. B. C., Oct 21. G. D. Col
lins, the San Francisco lawyer, who fled
from the Bay City July S, was extradited
tonight. He was suddenly hurried from
Victoria at 9 P. M-, In custody ot Detec
tive Thomas Gibson. Collins was Ignorant
of the fact that ho would be extradited
tonight until 15 minutes before his abrupt
departure, which was kept secret by the
police.
Chief of Police John H. Longley allowed
Collins to believe he would be taken to
San Francisco by the steamer Queen on
Wednesday next, stating ha, would refuse
te a?low the prisoner to go overland for
fear rtcps might bo taken to secure his
liberty upon habeas corpus proceedings
at either Seattlo or Portland.
Collins, anticipating his departure on
Wednesday next, had planned a farewell
gathering with some friends and sympa
thizers, but the police disappointed him.
At :& o'clock he was taken to the police
Elation by the' Constable guarding him,
upon the pretense that the guard was to
be relieved by another Constable at tho
station. In tho meantimo the patrol
wagon had called at the Driard Hotel for
the lawyer's effects.
Then, without warning, Collins and Gib
son were asked to board the patrol wagon,
which had been covered so that wayfarers
might not notice its passenger. Chief
Langlcy also embarked, and the patrol
wagon was hurried to the Canadian Pa
cific wharf, arriving a few moments be
fo.M the gungway waB taken in, and, be
fore any. other than the police and tho
fugitive were aware, Collins had been
extradited.
Tho Chief of Police had arranged the
sudden exit of the fugitive lawyer for sev
eral reason?. It was feared that Bome
steps might be taken by the Sheriff to de
lay service of tho warrant of surrender,
so that K might be secured for tho money
he is seeking to secure for the custody of
Collins, and tho Chief of Police was also
anslons to expedite the arrival of Collins
at Son Francisco, without danger of hav
ing the Journey delayed by lawyers serv
ing writs of habeas corpus In tho states
to be traversed on the way.
Chief Langley gave it out that the war
rant of surrender from the Department of
Justice at Ottawa would not be in his
hands until late on Saturday night, and
CollhiB -wrould wait until Wednesday, so
that he might bo sent to San Francisco by
direct steamer. Tho warrant was ad
dressed to the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir
Henri Jolt de Lothlnlero, but the Chief of
Police made arrangements to have Camp
bell Reddle, Provincial Secretary get the
warrant from the mall without delay. It
arrived at 7 P. M-, and shortly after was
In the hands of the police officer.
Collins was unaware of this, and, unsus
pecting, he went to the lock-up to allow
the Constable guarding him to be relieved,
as he thought. He was Instead hustled
to the steamer Princess Victoria and ex
tradited from Victoria without any one be
ing aware of his departure other than the
police authorities. Taken unawares, the
lawyer was unablo to plan any habeas
corpus proceedings to be brought en route.
Ke will arrive at Seattlo in the early
morning of Sunday, and before Monday
morning dawns he will bo across the
California line.
Many creditors at Victoria, it Is said,
mourn his departure.

of Stato Laws.
SALEM. Or., Oct 2L (Special.) Salem
and a number of other Oregon towns
which have elections in December have
overlooked the fact that nominations are
required to bo made In accordance with
the direct primary law. In Salem the di
rect primary election was not thought ot
until a few days before tho time for fil
ing petitions had expired. Some of the
petitions filed by Republicans bear tho
signatures of Democrats, although the
law requires that every man signing such
a petition must assert that he is a mem
ber of tho political party named In the
petition.
Section 6 of the direct primary law
provides that In cities holding their mu
unlcipal elections on a day other than
the date of a general election, the pri
mary election shall be held on tho 30th
day preceding the day of the municipal
election. Petitions for nomination for
city offices must be filed 15 days before
the date of the primary election.
Secretary of State Dunbar has recently
Issued In pamphlet form - a complete
compilation of Oregon election laws, and
will mall a copy free to any person re

CHINESE ASK FOR ARREST
Cook Found WItli Bullet in Head In
Greenhorn Camp.
BAKER CITY, Or., Oct 21. (Special.)
After sending a special detective all the
way from Ban Francisco to tho Greenhorn
mining camp to Investigate the death of
a Chinese cook there, some bIx weeks
ago, the Chinese authorities have pre
pared their findings, and will ask for the
arrest of a man prominent in the Green
horn camps as being the man who shot
the Chinaman.
The Chinaman in question was found
one morning in his bunkhouse, at the
mine where he, was employed as cook,
with a bullet hole In his head. It looked
like a plain case of suicide, but owing to
tho fact that a short time before all the
Chinese had been run out of the Green
horn country, the Chinese authorities In
San Francisco believed the cook had been
murdered. The local authorities refused
to have 'anything to do with the case
after an investigation, declaring that it
was a plain case of suicide.

FIRST SHIPMENT OF COPPER
Douglas Mining Firm Sends Three
Tons to Tacoma Smelter.
GLBNDALB. Or., Oct. 21. (Special.)
Swank Sc. Burnett yesterday made the first
shipment of copper ore ever sent from
this vicinity to the Tacoma Smelting
Company. The shipment consisted ot
three tons of ore, estimated to average
above 30 per cent pure copper, though' a
goodly portion of It Is upward of 40 per
cent.
These men have not an extensive deposit
of this ore, but from such development
of their property as has been made' the
owners are confident they have a valuable
mine and that further tunneling will de
velop a more extensive deposit. Large
deposits of copper ore have been discov
ered In a number of places within a few
miles of Glendale, but so far none have
been found that warrant extensive devel
opment, though It is believed that such
will yet be discovered.
The location of the deposit from -which
the above ore comes Is about IS miles east
of Glendale. on the west side of Green
Mountain, a mountain mined and prospect
ed for gold for the last 20 years, more" or
less.
