According to Adams. Orchard, never thought of himself dying for th crime of killing Bteunenberg, but always talked of promised freedom and or tn good time coming after his release.

Vaughn, who will defend Holt Vaughn declared that Holt ought never to b Indicted for manslaughter, and that th section of th statute referred to make it impossible for him to b found guilty." - :r,,n "Section 1758 or tn coa oieariy p plles to this case," said Vaughn. "It says: Th Kimng or a Human onn excusable when committed by accident or misfortune in th heat of passion, upon a sudden or sufficient provocation, or upon a sudden combat, without pre meditation or undue advantage being taken, and without any dangerous weapon or thing being usea. ana noi don In a cruel or unusual manner :The facta in this case show that !Wirpnly struck Robinson after - sev eral attemnta to get away rrom mm, ana then stmnlv av him a slap In the face. Th case seems to me to be clear- lv within that section of . tb statute. Th disposition :tf cases, of excusable killing Is pointed out in th next section which oaxs: : - ," Whenever, on a trial for murder or manslaughter. It shall appear that tne alleged killing was committed under cir cumstances where, by law, such killing was Justifiable or excusable, th Jury must give a general verdict of not guilty.' This being the law of Oregon, they can not convict Holt of mansuyigb ter In a thousand years. District Attorney Manning saia, whsn asked about these sections of th stat ute, that he had no opinion to express. He said ha would Indict Holt for man slaughter, and If th law 1 as claimed. the trial judge can so Instruct th Jury. Coroner Flnley held an Inquest over th body of Robinson yesterday afternoon.- The Jury did not fix th blame for the death, merely reciting th cause of death and detailing th occurrences. All the witnesses at the Inquest testified that Robinson insulted Holt repeatedly befor Holt struck him. minister, according to the girl's grand mother. "Her face has " haunted m since th first time I saw . It , I have dreamed about her by night and thought of ' her continually during my waking hours. If I can't com to th house and see her I must see her elsewhere. I cannot get along without her." For some time after this Floretta con tinued to visit th minister's house and then suddenly her visits ceased. Hemp stead folks heard of a stormy seen be tween the minister and his wife. In which th latter .upbraided him for his conduct with the Whaley girl and it is said threatened him with exposure. When the Rev. Mr. Cook left Hemp stead on, Monday, April'; 29, to officiate at a New York wedding, his wlf was with him. ' They Journeyed to this city together, she continuing to Hartford to visit her father, wher she now la H told her that as soon as the wedding wa over he would go to Baltimore to visit a clerical friend and promised.

He evidently changed his mind about going to Baltimore, for he returned to Hempstead Jat .Monday night- Ha -was seen in the vestry pf St George's church by Sexton preen, who next day made the discovery that the pastor had nacked ud all "his belongings ana naa left town. Shortly afterward Floretta Whaley' s ' disappearance was maoe known by her grandmother. There was some doubt as to whether th couple had been bold enough -to elope until Mra. Whaley received the following let ter: "Dear Grandmother: I know this Is a dreadful thing to do, but J cannot help myself. I love you, I love Sdna, I love aUntle; but X love Mr. Cook bet ter than all. -."If l ean in th future do anythinr to atone for this act, I will make it tha aim of my life to do so.

At th conclusion of a conference, which lasted far into the night th church officials gav out a' statement, in which ther aald they regretted the unexpected calamity, and could only account for it by th belief that the Revr Mr. Cook must bar been demented. . r-: MISS LENA NAGEL H III SALE Mrs. Christina Sechtem Alleges Max Smith as Administrator ?
