"If Batrman la Prescott he may as

"The people of Evnnsvllle are mad with
rage over the murder of Miss Gray and
it Is doubtful whether he could escape
lynching If he were returned to that
place. Inx any event, he would name
for no Jury could be found In the state
which would acquit him In the face of
the mass of testimony that has been
piled up against him.
Miss Gray was one or the most pop
ular young women in Kvansvllle. She
was one of the brightest pupils I had
In my school. The fact that she was
murdered to gain a paltry 1300 has
aroused the town against Prescott as1
"' sent by the people of the state to Wash

In that length of time the senator has
fallen out with the Multnomah county
leaders of the Bourne campaign of two
Years ago and has drifted Into closer
alliances with those who were not his
. boosters during the campaign resulting
in hla nomination and election.

As a result of the slights which he

ton he will have hard sledding when

men who have sharpened their knlvea
for him. What these knives can do on

. which refused him a seat on the dele-

Story of riendlsh Crime.
Prescott was employed as porter at
the H. A G. department store, where
Miss Uraj'" was bookkeeper, when the
murder was committed. The store
closed at 10 o'clockon Saturday even
ing, but Miss Gray remained to com
plete her work on the books, ller fail
ure to reach home at 11 o'clock aroused
the fear that some harm had befallen
her, and her nged parents, who de
pended upon her as their sole support,!
gave the alarm.
The proprietor of the store wns notl- i
fled and. summoning the police, went to
the store, where he discovered unmis
takable evident e of a crime. The floor
was bloodstained, coin was lying loose
on the floor and there was every sign
of a terrible encounter.

Investigation of the cash accounts
showed that the murderer had secured
about $300 after striking down the girl
Willi some heavy instrument.
Suspicion was at once fastened upon
Prescott, who was found al his home
sound asleep. He was placed under ar
rest, but later released on what ap
peared to be a satisfactory alibi. Im
mediately upon his release he disap
peared and no further trace of him was
found.
Lieutenant Adams, commander of the
local naval patrol, was responsible for

Judge Cameron was about the mu

his deputies at work In the municipal
court and in the circuit courts and was
taking upon his shoulders the work

Lincoln. Neb.. July 6. William J.
Bryan is Isolated today at Falrvlew
Farm, rain and wind having cut off all
communication with the outside world.
The trolley line between Lincoln and
Falrvlew Is unable to operate today, the
roadbed being under water, which la
rushing like a mighty river. A repair
crew was sent out to Inspect and re
build the line today, but reported "that
the bridge nesr the Bryan farm Is
washed out. This means that the line
will probably be out of commission for
several days, as it will be Impossible to
rebuild the bridge at the present stage
of the water.
Automobile and carriage roads are
C radically Impassable, although it Is
elleved that the trip might be made
by the latter if the driver is willing to
brave the danger.
Bryan and Ill's wife narrowly escaped
being caught In the first heavy down
pour last night. They had been out
driving, and reached home Just in time
to escape a drenching or possible Injury

All communication with the Bryan
home is by telephone.
The flood situation, besides maroon
ing Bryan, threatens to delay the ar
rival of several state delegations In
Denver and la likely to necessitate the
postponement of the convention. The
Georgia and Alabama delegates and
several hundred boosters are side
tracked on the Rock Island road at
Havelock, six miles east of here, unable
to get through to Lincoln.
It is believed Theodore Bell of Cali
fornia, temporary chairman of the Den

Bryan today, cannot get away In time
to wield the gavel when the convention
assembles. Bell's last hope to reach
Denver Is by a circuitous route via

In a far-reaching decision affecting
the methods of street Improvement,
Judge O'Day In the circuit court th!s
morning held that, the city council has
adopted an illegal method in violation
of the city charter In assessing the
cost of Improvement to abutting prop
erty, without regard to the general
benefit derived.
, Judge O'Day held that the city coun-
i'i amu erren in mereiv placing on
file" the protests of property owners
The charter requires that protests shall
be. "considered," and the court said
that so far us the records show noth
ing was done except to place them on
file. Judge O'Day refered to this as a
"very gentlemanly" procedure, tiut took
the view that this does not amount to
consideration.
Judge O'Day also hold that the re?.
ord in the case before him was defec
tive in thaf the city assesnor had Jailed
to file a preliminary assessment. Tills
point does not apply to later cases, nn
the case decided today is an old one
and this weakness has been remedied.
The thing that hits hard Is the de
cision that street Improvement cost
must ne assessed with regard- to ben?
flts, and not perfunctorily on the n-
fort of the city engineer to make cacn
ot pay for the work that Is done in
front of it. At The time the city
