Defense Arraigns Character of Kl

for Possible Second Trial. ,
I'RINKVILLE. Or.. May 9. (Special.)
The case of ex-Sheriff C. Sam Smith,
who la charged with burning the shear
ing plant of J. N. Williamson on the
Ochaco, went to the Jury at 9 o'clock
tonight. If a verdict is reached by
morning it is thought it will be an ac
quittal. It is not unlikely that there will
be a disagreement. A verdict of guilty
is generally regarded as improbable. In
view of the bad reputation given Lark in
Klllott, the state's leading witness, and
instructions relative to the testimony of
accomplices given the Jury by Judge
Bradshaw.
The defense rested its case at 11 o'clock,
after introducing a number of character
witnesses, who swore that the reputation
of Elliott for veracity is exceedingly bad.
Henry Cran. a well-known rancher, as
a witness, related a conversation he had
with Klllott about a year ago in which
the latter said:
"We will have to burn Sam Smith's
house and run him out of the country."
This witness also said that Elliott, on
returning from Portland during: the land
fraud trials, confessed to perjuring him
self in order to get Smith indicted on the
thargo of attempting to tamper with Gov
ernment witnesses.
Douglas Ijawson. Stub Quackenbush and
Peter Sigling testified that in a local sa
loon they heard Elliott make the admis
sion that he had lied about Smith in
Portland and had done it to get even.
District Attorney Menefee opened the
argument for the prosecution in a review
of the testimony. He was followed by
Attorney Wyatt, ..for the . defense, who
made a strong plea for his client and
charged he was the victim of a conspi
racy, the object of which was to get
possession of his land. Attorney Weather
ford spoke two hours for the defense,
showing the weakness of the state's case.
He asserted that there was not a scintilla
of evidence except that of Elliott, a self
confessed perjurer, and admittedly a
black-hearted criminal, tending to con
nect Smith with the arson.
His vigorous arraignment of the lead
ing witness for the prosecution frequently
caused Mrs. Elliott to lean her head on
her husband's shoulder while her frame
was convulsed with sobs.
"This man says he has always been
a friend of Williamson, and is now," said
the lawyer: "He sits by the side of Mr.
Williamson and the two have constantly
conferred in assisting the state. Yet he
burned this man's house and shearing
plant, cut his fence and tried to poison
his sheep. Was that the act of a friend?
Then he has sworn that for the last
two or. three years he has been friendly
to Smith. Yet one responsible witness
tells you that less than a year ago he
was -talking about burning Smith's house,
and running him out of the country.
Was that the act of a friend? I tell
you that a man so vicious, so abandoned,
so utterly untruthful, is not to be be
lieved in anything. He is simply hand
ing Smith that second bunch, of which
he so often boasted."
Attorney Wilson spoke for an hour this
nlternoon and two hours tonight in clos
ing for the prosecution. He was vitriolic
in his language and said that while Elli
ott's reputation is bad, be could not have
invented such a story and clung to it so
well on cross-examination. Wilson an-
lyied the case exhaustively and the jury
men were yawning and consulting their
watches when he concluded.

The Wasco County central committee,

prominent men from the stalwart and

it was the consensus of opinion that a
delegation selected from its foremost
Republican citizens would justly repre
sent the party without instruction.
From the personnel of the delegation
it is evident that Senator Bourne, or
his representative, John "C. Young,
would have some difficulty in persuad

ILDEST'AHD
We have never claimed that S. S. S. was a medicine to work
wonders, nor one that would cure every physical ailment or disorder.
More than forty years ago it was placed on the market and recommended
as a blood purifier, and today, after a long and successful career, and
when its use has become almost universal, only the same honest claim
is made for it that it is a cure for those diseases and disorders arising
from an impure or polluted blood. Time makes no mistakes, and the
very best recommendation of S. S. S. is the fact that it has stood a long
test and is now more generally used, and has the confidence of a
greater number of people than any other blood medicine.
The blood is the most vital force of life; every organ, nerve,
muscle, tissue and sinew of the body is dependent on it for nourishment
and strength, and as it circulates through the system, pure and rich, it
furnishes to these different members the healthful properties needed to
preserve them and enable them to
perform their various duties. So
long as the blood remains free from
infection we are apt to escape dis
ease, but any impurity, humor or
poison acts injuriously on the sys
tem and affects the general health.
Pustular eruptions, pimples,
rashes, and the various skin affec
tions, show that the blood is in a
feverish condition as a result of
some humor, or the presence of an
irritating, fiery acid. Rheumatism
comes from an excess of uric acid
in the circulation, while Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula and
Contagious Blood Poison, are all
deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as
the cause remains. Bad blood may come from various causes, such as
a sluggish condition of the system, imperfect bowel and kidney action,
indigestion, etc., or the trouble may be inherited; but whatever the cause
the blood must be purified before the body can be healthy.
S. S. S. is a natural blood purifier and tonic. It is made entirely
of the harmless juices and extracts of roots, herbs and barks of recog
nized curative ability, and being free from all harmful minerals is an
absolutely safe medicine for young or old. S. S. S. goes down into the
circulation and removes any. and every trace of impurity, humor or
poison. It freshens and enriches the blood and cures promptly and
permanently Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula, Skin
Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison; and all other blood disorders. S. S. S.
is the most reliable and at the same time a most pleasant acting medi
cine for those whose blood has become weak and who are suffering wife
Anaemia, Malaria or some other debilitating sickness.
A blood purifier is especially needed in the Spring to cleanse the
circulation of the impurities which have accumulated during the
shut-in life of Winter, and S. S. S. is the most reliable and certain of
good results. Book on the blood and medical advice free. S.S.S. is for
