Half an hour before time for opening

audience began to assemble hear sen
tence passed by Judge Cleland - Upon
Gugllelmo, th murderer of Freda Gar
aclo. The short, dark-faced father of
th murdered girt came. In alone, and
took a seat Inside of the railing, where
he had sat stolidly during, the trial of
ins case, r i ne - otner Italians present
were of the younger class and formerly
associates of Gugllelmo. A few min

ana ' returned - to - his seat. At f :a
Sheriff Word appeared, leading xug-
Uelmo, - and seated himself and the
prisoner In two chairs .that bad been
placed close up in iront of tb bar ol
justlc. ' .-.-
Gugltelmo's pallid fac wore a look of
dull and hopeless misery.' we evidently
bad begun to reel th gravity or bis
situation, and th absence of his former
bold and unconcerned countenance was
very noticeable.
Th sentencing of th prisoner was a
brief ceremony. Judge Cleland, after
referring to the significance of th date
told , tbe prisoner to stand up. Gug
llelmo did not obey at once,- and waa
helped to hla feet by lit sheriff. The
court then said: '
"You have been -Informed against-by
the district attorney for Multnomah
county and charged with th crime of
murder, and after a trial by due process
6f law. you have been found guilty. If
you hav anything to Bay why sentence
should not be pronounced, , I. will now
hear-you."
Th prisoner stood motionless, but no
word from . him broke the absolute si
lence of th courtroom.: ' Th court then
said:''; v '. . - - -f
"Haa th attorney for th prisoner
anything to say?" , - . -.
"I hav nothing to say, your nonor,'
reolled Dan R. Murphy. - -
l"Th Judgment of th court la," " rt
s timed Judge Cleland. looking at Gug
llelmo. "that you be taken within iO
days from this date to th penitentiary
of th atat of Oregon and turned -over
to th superintendent of the penlten
tlarr. and there, on th Hth day of Au
gust, you be hanged by the neck until
you ar dead." , - ;.'..
Aa th full horror of th term of his
sentence pentrated Gugllelmo' mind he
seemed to ah rink and droop about the
shoulders, and -hla fa grew ashen,. but
he stood ud bravely while th court
concluded with an order to Jth aheiiff
to "remove the prisoner," and he was
then led from the room and back to th
Jail. Here he seemed to recover , his
courage. In th Jailer's room ba" wrote
a letter, and with hi accustomed cigar
between hla teeth he walked Into on of
th "solitary" cells, , where he will be
kept until his departure for Salem.
JAP STOWAWAYS
HAY BE
Handcuffed and cloeely guarded,
three Japanese cam up from Astoria
on the oriental liner Aragonia, whlcn
arrived- this morning from China and
Japan. Th men were stowaways and
succeeded In reaching th city by th
sea before their presfic was discov
ered. When found they were hiding be
hind oil barrels which were lying where
th coal was atored. An officer of th
ship -noticed on, of th barrel move,
and an investigation led to th man's
capture, ;.--".-
Close questioning revealed th fact
that the prisoners bribe- members of
th Chines crew of th vessel to assist
them In making the passage. They con
fessed to Immigration officials that each
of thom gave the celestial sailors 19
yena to pick out a biding place for them
and provide them with food. ' Had not
th search. been mad at Astoria it la
thought that the men .would hav sues
oeeded In completing th voyage without
being captured, and under cover of dark
neaa they had undoubtedly planned to'
gain . th ahore. Until th ateamer la
ready to return on the. outward trip the
prisoners will be guests at the county
Jail, when they will be deported at the
expense of th vessel owners. Just be
fore sailing from Yokohama six other
stowaways were found in the bold of
th ateamer, and were disembarked aa
prisoners. It is th opinion of some
that they are deserter from th Japan
as army, and if ''such prove to be the
case they- will In all likelihood be be-
neaoea. v. . . , -. .

Thl town haa not yet recovered from
tha flood disaster, but as news comes
In from tha path of. the waters and no
more Uvea are reported aa .being loat,
there la ja feeling of . thankfulness tbat
naught but property loss la to be chron
icled. . 1 .
Tb' damage will probably not go
much beyond th estimates of - yes
terday, but exact figures cannot be given.
A conservative estimate ahowa that th
heaviest' damage "occurred In the busi
ness section of Mitchell and that the
crop losa down the gorge and Into th
valley will, ba email.
Owing to th formation of th coun
try the water wore not confined when
the agricultural aectlona were reaohed
and soon: spread out. In portions fields
were covered with silt and debris, caua-
Ing a .total loaa, but in tha main the
flood waa disseminated over flat areas.
It Is not believed that more than two
lives, those given in yesterday's special
dispatch to Tha Journal Mrs. Bethune
and Martin Smith were loat but the
escapes rrora aeam were ao many and
ao narrow that it seems miraculous that
th Heppner disaster of a year ago was
not duplicated.
. Without exception the business man
who suffered assert they will at once
reopen, but there Is considerable dis
cussion as to whether the new buildings
will be located as were tha old ones. In
