SAY YOUNG IS

Fulton's Friends Believe
Bourne Man Cannot Be
come Postmaster.
John C. Young is up against it. say
the friends of Senator Fulton. Young's
confirmation as postmaster of Portland
will be a dream, but never a reality,
Is the opinion of the same prophets. Ho
will never be postmaster, and it is all
off with him. That Is the way it is all
framed up.
Senator Fulton is playing a waiting
game, say these friends, relying on the
new administration to put the snuffer
down on the hopes of Senator Bourne
and his appointee. According to their
story, Senator Fulton could have se
cured an adverse report on the ap
pointment of Mr. Young almost Imme
diately after the matter was referred
to the postofflce committee. He. how
ever, did not desire such action be
cause had Young's appointment been
repudiated by the senate It would have
given Senator Bourne an opportunity to
send in another name, and perhaps one
against which there could have been no
objection. In that case the senate would
have been compelled practically to af
firm the nominee of the president
and of Senator Bourne, and the fight
would have been at an end.
Under present conditions these,
friends contend, the situation Is en
tirely different. If the committee holds
Young's name In consideration until the
end of the session. Bourne cannot put
In a new name. After Taft assumes
his office. It Is hoped Young will stand
no chance of appointment, and his name
may even be withdrawn. Then, It is
argued, since Fulton has a great deal
of Influence with the president-elect.
Bourne's choice would stand a less
chance of success than under the ad
ministration of Roosevelt.
That Is the game, the Fulton friends
say, and they contend it is a winning
game.

DAIY TRIAL IS
HEAD IIS CLOSE
Slayer of Harry Kenny Has
Itemarkably Speedy Hear-
Is Insanity.
ing Plea
The rase of Harry Daly, charged with
the murder of Harry Kenny In a north
end saloon on the night of November
16, will go to the Jury In the circuit
court late this afternoon. One of the
notable features of this case Is the re
markably short length of time which it
has taken to try the defendant, com
pared with other cases where murder in
the fir.st degree Is the crime charged.
Daly's trial began yesterday morning
and at noon toiluy both the state and
th9 defense had submitted their testi
mony and rested. Italy's only explana
tion of the crime he is charged with
committing is Intermittent insanity.
His attorneys, John H. Stevenson and
L. W. Humphreys, have endeavored to
show that tlielr client's mind was af
fected by an Injury received at the Al
blna ferry slip not long ago, and that
since that time ho has been subject to
spalls In which he loses all control of
himself and remembers nothing of what
takes place for four and five hours at
a time.
That Daly was In one of these spells
at the time the crime was committed
Is the contention of the attorneys for
the defense. Two prisoners In the
county Jail who occupied the same cor
ridor as does thedefondnnt were called
this morning aia testified that since
Daly's confinement Jie has shown pe
culiar symptoms of Insanity during the
nights, throwing his hands above his
head, groaning, and seemed at theso
times to be utterly devoid of reason.
City Physician Zlegler testified as to
the manner of the Injury received by
the defendant at the ferry slip.
During the introduction of the state's
testimony an effort was made to show
that Daly had, at times previous to
the murder, made threats against the
life of the man whom he murdered.
The testimony was thrown out, at that
time, on a technicality, but was intro
duced again in rebuttal. W. J. Por
ter, a barber, testfled to this effect,
ether witnesses. Including "Mysterious"
Billy Smith, ex-pugilist, were brought
by the state in an effort to show that
Daly was In his rleht mind at th
time of the crime, and that the murder
must nave Deen premeditated.
At noon tnriav all tha nv.i.lan. n
both sides had been brought before the
Jury and at 2 o'clock the state began
its argument for the conviction of the
accused man. The attorneys for the
oeien zoiiowea ana tne case will
probably reach the Jury before 5 o'clock
this afternoon, when Judge Gantenbeln
will read his Instructions.
