THE BECKMANN TRIAL. A Verdict of Murder In the Second Degree. In Monday' issuo tho Flaindkai.eii gavo n condensed statement of tho evi dence, embodying tho principal points in tho cose, both for and against, con tended for or opposed by able counril on both sides. Tho array of testimony, sel dom excepded in volume and In number of testators, has oxcited much comment. The testimony is now all in and it be comes our duty to give the public tho conclusions ot tho counsel In their pleas, tho Court'B instruct to the jury and their verdict. Tho robnttalB of Tuesday did not elicit any material facts in the case, and might havo been dispensed with without prejudice to either side. At G minutes paBt 11 o'clock Tuesday, tho 1 ast witness. Dr. Easter, gave his vorslon of street scene in Roseburg in which tho dofendant, his wifo Helena, nod her son Robert King, figured con spicuously, which tho defense thought was important. At 1 o'clock p. m. Judge Laughary, assistant counsel for the prosecution, commenced his argument on the plea cf homicide of the first degree. Ho made a clear, strong and vigorous presentation of the case, citing the opinions of eminent judges in support of his position. Ho commented upon each authority only to show, in a clear and concise manner, the applicability to the case at bar, without effort for rhetorical effect; but yot with an air of sincerity, and, as he said, under a sense of duty to society and to the state, however painful it may be. He reviewed tho testimony briefly and pre sented his view of it, as revealed by the evidence, with apparent fairnesy. The fact ot killing was uudisputed and the testimony, though circumstantial, was convincing, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant was guilty and that tho plea of insanity by the defense was frivolous und untenable; claiming that the lightest verdict tho jury could rea sonably find, would bo manslaughter. That to make justifiable homicide a valid plea, when the killing was nlmitted to have been done by the defendant, the onus of proof rested with defendant to show he was acting in self defense, or, if by an insane person, insanity must bo shown by defendant to have coutroled him at the time of tho killing. Neither of these mitigating facts, counsel claimed had been shown. E. B. Preble, attorney for dctendant, bean his argument before the court at 1 p. m. and occupied one hour in citing authorities and commenting upon the theories and rulings of com Is upon cases analogue to the one on trial. Mr. Preble based his defense upon the rule of law that on a charge of homicide of the first degree the stato must show that the kill- ' ing "was dono in cold blood, with mal ice aforethoueht. deliberate andnremedi the proof or intent open deliberation did not constitute murder in the first degree. Ho also set up the plea that, admitting the homicide, if shown to have been committed by the defendant, be was la boring under an insane impulse at the time of tho killing, caused by the abusa from ids wife or Robert Ring. Mr. Preble also commented upon justi- fiaUo Iwmldde and cited many authors upon the subject, claiming that the de- ; fondant could not by a fmr construction j of law bo found guilty ot a greater de jgrec than that of manslaughter. Tho above position Mr. Preblo elaborated with great tact and legal ability. His ad 1 1 dress to the jury was one of marked v.;i: abounding in lode, eloouence e and sympathy for his client that won the ; admiration of all who listened to him 3:50 tlyi court adjourned to 9 a. m. Wed ucsdav. Wednesdy, at 9:20, Geo. 31. Brown, ' the district attorney, arose to address the court on closing this long and tedious , case. He was laboring nnder a severe cold. b,,t- " L a.il. "under a ense of , UtU-v to ,h0 clients ol his district and of lUo slale ,le entered upon the task as- i s'BiieU him by Ins positiou, reluctantly. . 1113 l""" as that the Case at barWaS, -t...,.t : ai. x j ",u,"olt' mumer " ".u,r " aany , at" " PPO ol his Position and ; rej'iieu 10 counsel tor ueiense wmi some I spirit, critically examined testimony and ; cearcj up some mooted points. He claimed that tho fact of the homicide not having been disputed, his case was clear. i nlcss the defense could show that either ; lh0 aei of billing was in self defense or unmistakably while laboring under . emoljonai insanitv. This he said the de- tense had failed to !stablish. Ha clossd i at 2:10 p. in. me jtiogos charge to the jury was , quite lengthy. It touched upon all tho material points of law under Oregon statntes defining the several degrees of crime and the responsibility of violators of the criminal laws, including also where and when the pleas ot justifiable homicide or of the plea ofjinsauity might be grounds for acquittal. The case went to tho jury at 2:33 p. rii. Wednesday, On the first ballot jury stood as ful osi 4 for murder in the first degree 4 for murder in the second degree; and 4 for manslaughter. After a stubborn battle lasting 19 hours, tho jury finaly compromised by finding a verdict o murder in the second degree E. B.

It Id curious Id uoto how often people act contrary to their own ititerects. When tliev Imv eu important u article as a r4Ugu from u.i lrreep-Mi'.il.lt' p.-.Kltar inBtoad ut patronizing a rtvtiUr dealer, is a case in point. The ocl will of the consumer and a reputation for just deal ings don't matter half so much to the rango peddler as his individual profits. Tho reverso is trae of tho legitimate stove dealer. He can not afford to imposo on his customers in anyway whatever, be cause he must rely on tho future trade of his neighbors for bis livelihood and must retain their confidence at all hazards. After people have been taken in by a range peddler thoy see v this clearly enough and, as usual, lock the stable door after the horse is tolen. In various places in this county during the past few months the range peddler bos been operating with more or less suc cess. By smooth talk and false repre sentation the agent manages to dispose hiB ranges at prices ranging from $25 to $30 higher than the same rango could be purchased for from reliable local deal ers. Of course they give their 4notea for the range, payable at a certain time, but with the promise of the agent that if they don't havo the money when the note be comes due, it will not mako any differ ence and they can pay when they please the company will extend the time to suit their convenience. But when the note becomes due they are called upon pay tho money forthwith. Of course there is a general kick, but the money has to be paid or trouble begins. The Negro In the South. Rev. N. S. Buckner gave an instruc tive discourse to bis hearers Sunday on the subject of "Christian Education." Tho discourse was mainly with reference to the work of the M. E. church in the South since the late war. It abounded in much statistical information showing tho increase in knowledge and the bles sings of Christianity to the negro through the efforts of the M. E. church in their behalf. He spoke of the efforts of some to attempt the colonization of tho freed clave in Liberia and other distant locali ties, and ot the intention of the colored men to remain on American soil. There fore they must be educated and trained to bo good citizens. Twenty-eight years ago he said the M. E. church entered the South to educate the blacks and bring them to a knowledge of Christianity. Their efforts have been successful in a great degree, and more had been accom plished in the last 23 years than the one hundred years prior to the war. They hud established -13 colleges and educa tional institutions in the South since the war.

They became noisy and quarel some, and soon a "free for all" tight was ngaged in, both inside and outside of tho school building. The ladies were very badly frightened of course, and sev eral of the participants in tbe meleo re ceived several black eyes and bloody noses, whilo ono or two were seriously banged up, Such scenes are disgraceful and should' be put a stop to.
