HIS TESTIMONY SHUT OUT State's Objections to Much Similar Evidence Sustained. IS NOT NEEDED, HOWEVER Mitchell's Case Already Strong Enough Seattle Lawyers Ex pect Speedy Verdict of Not Guilty. SEATTLE. Wash.. July 7 (Special.) Seattle attorneys who have been attend ing the Mltchell-Creffleld murder trial In the Superior Court here are unanimous in the belief that legal grounds have been indisputably established for the ac qtiital of the young defendant. Besides this technical phase of the case, there has been a vast bulk of evidence of the order calculated to Influence a normal jury. It Is quite generally believed that a verdict of "not guilty" will be returned and this before the jury has been out many hours. Among those who are confident of this result are Attorneys Morris and Shipley, counsel for the defense, and District At torney Manning, of Portland. "I do not wish to appear as too san- guine." said Mr. Morris this afternoon, "but you can say for me that the case will be in the hands of the Jury by next Thursday morning, at the very latest, and by Thursday night Mitchell will be a free man. The worst that can happen Is a hung Jury, and this can only be brought about by a radical stand on the part of some one or two Jurors, and this we do not look for. by any means." Manning Predicts Acquittal. "I cannot see haw the Jury, under the testimony adduced, can do otherwise than acquit Mitchell." said Mr. Manning. "A decision to acquit the defendant ought to be reached on the first ballot when the Jury retires to consider the case." To all outward Intents little progress was made in the trial today and yet ground was covered that ordinarily would have required two or three days. For after working all morning to get testi mony relating to the mental condition of Mitchell's married sister, the defense was restricted by a ruling from Judge Frater. This shut off about IS witnesses, headed by District Attorney Manning. In order to complete the records, in event of a possible appeal from the ver dict In the case, the defense took the testimony of District Attorney Bryson, as representative of what all other wit nesses would have related had they been permitted to appear. This testimony was not rendered In the presence of the Jury and will be of value only in event of an appeal. Much Haggling Over Evidence. Between haggling over the question of admitting this evidence and examining one insanity expert, the entire day's ses sion was consumed. The legal fight had been anticipated, and both sides were pre pared with arguments and authorities. The appearance of Mr. Manning on the stand at 10 o'clock was the signal for opening hostilities. The courtroom was crowded with spectators anxious to be hold the somewhat unusual sight of a public prosecutor appearing in the inter ests of a man accused of murder. There was a murmur of satisfaction and approbation among Mitchell's friends meaning all the spectators as Mr. Man ning stepped up to the pale, solemn-faced prisoner, shook him heartily by the hand and told him to keep a stiff upper lip. as he would come out all right in the end. Cut Mr. Manning Short. Mr. Manning took the witness-stand, but got no further than a statement of his name and occupation. When asked by Attorney Morris to tell the Jury what he knew of Creffleld's power over Mitch ell' sister, Mrs. Starr. Instant objection was Jnterposed by Deputy Prosecutor Miller. He asserted that such testimony, dealing with a sister of the defendant and hav ing no direct and connected bearing on the case, was Irrelevant, immaterial and Incompetent. Judge Frater Immediately sustained the objection. Mr. Shipley arose and said he wished to enter a statement of his atti tude on the question. After the Jury had been excluded from the courtroom, Mr. Shipley set forth that a showing of the mentality of the sister would be admlssi ble as corroborative of the defendant's mentality. It was also set out by Messrs. Morris and Shipley that testimony con certnng family traits, eccentricities and peculiarities was competent as showing the defendant was possessed of the same traits, through heredity. Lay Basis for an Appeal. Following this a recess of court was taken. Judge Frater repaired to his chambers III company with Mr. Miller During the interval of 20 minutes that en sued the case "was discussed by the at torneys on both sides. The defense agreed to lay a basis for testimony concerning evidences of hereditary insanity in the defendant before attempting to enter fur ther testimony along this line. The examination of medical experts was titan taken up and Mr. Manning was ex cused. It wae intended ot place him on the stand In the afternoon, but the de fense gave up this plan later. Mr. Man ning was relieved from further attend ance at the trial. The things that were to have been proved by him were stated in the absence of the Jury, to make up the records. A similar showing was -made of Mr. Bry son's testimony, and of that to have been proffered by Sheriff Burnett, of Benton County. The other Oregon witnesses who were to have eiven corroborative evidence in this regard were: W. T. Gardner. Mary J. Graham. O. V. Hurt. Milton Beem. J. J. McMillan. Perry Mitchell. B. E. Starr and Louis Hartley. All were excused. Dr. Donald A. Nicholson, a Seattle phy sician, was called by the defense as an insanity expert. No objection was made to Dr. Nicholson's appearance on the stand, and the defense was aHowed con siderable latitude In examining him. Witness- testimony was favorable throughout to young Mitchell. In renly to hypothet ical questions. Dr. Nicholson said, unqual ifiedly, that anyone acting as Mitchell did prior to and at the time of the tragedy, was insane. Cross-Examination Short. An effort was made by Mr. Miller, on cross-examination, to establish that com munication with spirits does not constitute or indicate an abnormal mental state, touch as is required to establish insanity. Admitting that spiritualism does not indi cate unsoundness of mind, the doctor said such communications as Mitchell received, Impelling him to kill Creffleld, were indic ative of an insane delusion. Dr. Nicholson defined the different de grees and causes of insanity, and in con clusion gave it as his full belief that Mitchell was not mentally responsible when he did away with the Holy Roller leader. On Monday, other prominent Seattle physicians will be put on the stand to give similar expert testimony. Drs. W. T. Miles and John Wotherspoon have been scheduled to appear Monday morn ing Experts Come on Next. The first two days of the week. It is be lieved will be consumed by experts and by rebuttal testimony. Then the final argu ments will be made. Prosecutor Mackin tosh will open for the state; Attorney Shipley for the defense. Mr. Morris will make the concluding appeal for Mitchell's release, and Mr. Miller will close for the state. The case will then go into the hands of the jury. BATHER LOSES LIFE Walter F.

Retaliate Against Warehousemen and Millers Who Have Resolved Not to Supply Sacks. SALEM. Or., July 7. (Special.) There is a lively war on between Wil lamette Valley farmers and the valley millers and warehousemen, growing out of the question of furnishing sacks for grain. It has always been the prac tice for warehousemen and millers to furnish sacks to farmers and take the value of the sucks out of the purchase price of the grain when sold. Recently millers and warehousemen in other valley counties deoided to discontinue this practice and to require farmers to buy the sacks outright. Marlon and Polk County gralnbuyers have practi cally agreed to the same plan, though no formal action has been taken. "This is a blessing to valley farm ers," declared W. A. Taylor, a promi nent grain farmer today. "The ware housemen have got none the start of us, for already we have begun arrang ing to buy sacks independent of them. We have placed ourselves in their power too long. Now the farmers will build granaries on their own farms, buy only sacks enough to haul grain from the field to the granary, let the grain lie loose In bins, and thus be compelled to buy only one-tenth as many sacks as they do. "I have learned by experience that I can sometimes get 8 cents more a bushel for my wheat by having pos session of the grain when I get ready to sell. Farmers can make enough in a single season by increased price of wheat to pay for their granaries. "Let the warehousemen combine. We are doing something in that line our selves and we shall buy our sacks without paying tribute to the warehousemen Hart, Schaffner & Marx OUTING SUITS Some men like single and some like double-breasted Outing Suits.
