Scrlber. charged with embezzlement of the funds of the Farmers & Traders National Bank at La Grande, will b resumed in the United States Court Monday afternon. Judge Bean ordered the jury to disperse at the close of the hearing on Friday evening. Most of them went to their homes in nearby counties. The iefens "will continue with the In troduction of evidence as to the sanity of the defendant at the time he forged notes to the amount of $90,000, and it is believed that it will require all of Mon day and the greater part of Tuesday' to examine remaining witnesses.- LMstrlct Attorney McCourt will intro duce a number of witnesses in rebuttal of the Insanity theory, contending that Scrlber was entirely sane and that the noticeable change in the demeanor of the defendant was due to worry arising out of fear of exposure of misappropria tion of funds. Attorneys for both sides were yester day busily engaged in absorbing medical lore, preparatory to the examination of the professional men who are to appear In the witness-box. Neither Attorney Ful ton nor the Government prosecutor would came the physicians they expect to call. A portion of the rebuttal to be "used by the District Attorney will be the declara tion from well- known medical men of Portland that Mr. Scrlber may have been suffering from hardening of the arteries in any portion of the body with out affecting the brain and causing paranoia. Witnesses for the insanity theory, by which Scrlber hopes to escape the penalty of the law, will, on Monday, be con fronted with en hypothetical question from the District Attorney which was prepared yesterday. A number of doctors assisted in getting the question shaped up. It la probable that Dr. Lee Steiner and Dr. Tamlesie, of the State Insane Asylum, will be recalled and asked to solve the problem to be presented. Timber Buyer Sues for Commission.

The aged priest was well pre pared for the formal questions touching American laws and passed a very credit able .examination upon the Constitution. When asked what was the duty of the viee-fresident. he replied, innocently, "to wait for the President to die." Medve dovsky has nine children, six of whom become citlsens by their father's naturali zation. Medvedovsky took the prescribed oath, but when it came time for him to sign il he asked the leniency of the court, ex plaining with an ingratiating smile and shrug that it was his Sabbath and thai he could sign no instrument. He w allowed until Monday to do so. Edward Erlckson, a subject of King HaaKon. Knew tils duties as a citizen when questioned. After answering ones tions as to the time and methods of elec tions, he was asked by Judge Morrow, What officers will you have a chance to vote for at the next eleotlon?"

Hershelmer, the complaint alleg ing that Hershelmer represented him self to be and undertook to act as an attorney of the court when he was not, in fact, a member of the bar admitted to practice.

She paid him' S25 and at a later date $14 and he represented to her that her complaint was filed about January 14 and would come up for hearing on May 14.

Not only is he blessed with a good voice, but his dramatic ability rivals the work of our most distinguished actors. He vividly portrays the spirit of the songs he sings, using the piano for his accompaniments in a manner heretofore undreamed of by any other artist. He is ably assisted by Mr. Bos at the piano and he at tributes no small share of his remarkable success to the skillful and soulful accompaniment work of this really great pianist. The instrument selected to fill this important mission is the glorious Chickering, for in the Chickering is found that true "singing" tone susceptible to all manners and degrees of shades and expression emphasizing and illustrating the intent of the composition as no other instru ment can. It has often been said that the Chickering piano represents more closely the human voice than any other instrument. In every instance where an artist selects an instrument for his or her own use and is unin fluenced by a financial consideration the choice invariably is the Chickering. To own a Chick ering is to possess the world s best piano. Chickering Grands and Up rights purchasable on moder ately monthly payments. Are sold exclusively by ' 3S3 Washington St., at Park Wullner Tickets now on sale here THAT the entertainment and play given last Thursday night by the students of St. Francis' Academy was an artistic success, is being confirmed by the many complimentary comments heard from those who attended tb pro duction. Interest centers particularly In the ex cellent dramatic work of Miss Ethel Marsh and MTsa Ethel Cralb, who as sumed the leading roles in' "The Prom ise," the four-act play. Miss Marsh, beside being talented in the drama. Is a versatile young woman, and teaches Latin and mathematics at the acadmy. Her portrayal of the Lady Melrose was stamped with fervor and intensity that won her much praise. Miss Craib was seen in the role of Marion, a girlish part which she interpreted in an unassuming and wholly graceful manner. Misses Ethel Dugan and Marion Lehr established reputations as comedienne the first-named. In an Irish character, the latter as Topsy, a "VA black chile." Mar garet Alnsworth attracted favorable no tice as a French maid, by reason of her perfect dialect, as well as her clever adap tation of the part. Others whose acting brought forth praise were Charlotte De- laney as a gypsy queen; Margaret Mock in the role of a governess, and Monica Smith, who appeared as a witch. The production was picturesque in the extreme, especially In the gypsy dance, and the costumes were, very handsome. of the car and sustained injuries which have resulted in a permanently stif. fened knee. That debt contracted by buying poker chips from the banker of a game on credit is not a gambling debt under the statute is the decision of a Jury in Judge Gatens' department of the Circuit Court. Verdict was returned for $950 in the suit of B. F. Shaw against W. N. Matlock on a promissory note for $1000. Matlock's defense was that the obliga tion was a gambling debt and, there fore, not collectible. It appeared, how ever, that he bought checks from Switz ler, the dealer of a game at Pendleton and lost them to various persons around the table.
