Attorneys for Prosecution and De
fense Prepare to Ask Questions -of
Insanity Experts Who Will
Testify in Case.
Trial of Jefferson W. 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.
Asserting that he had been engaged
in 1909 on a verbal contract to buy
timber for the Union Lumber Company,
F. C. Bolin yesterday began suit in the
United States Court for the recovery of
commissions amounting to $2891. The
defendant company is a Louisiana con
cern, its owners residing at Hammond,
La., and its operations are carried on in
Clackamaa-County. N. It. Smith is the
local manager. The complaint sets out
the verbal agreement as understood by
Bolin and under which the plaintiff
alleges that ne secured 28,910,000 feet
of timber.

tempt Action Follows.
Action for contempt of court was
commenced yesterday in the Circuit
Court by the District Attorney against
J. J. 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.
The complaint is based upon an affi
davit of Mrs. Jessie L. Pro, who de
poses that she engaged the services of
Hershelmer to Introduce a suit for di
vorce against her husband, Edward G.
Pro. 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.
When that date passed and she "was
not called upon to appear, she made in
quiry and Hershelmer ' filed the com
plaint on May 14. He then told her
that her case would come on for. hear
ing on May 17.
The complaint is weirdly misspelled
and badly written. This fact caused in
quiry to be made, which resulted in the

Never in the musical history of the world
has a singer created such a profound impres
sion and been accorded the ovations which
Lmdwig "Wullner has received everywhere. 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.

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.

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.
