Hugh Priest and Tliomaa Patterson were couvicted last night of a charge of arson,- arising out of an attempt to burn thf L.. B. Menefee Lumber com pany'a shingle mill at University Park. February 16. The Jury recommended them to flie mercy of the court but the best, the eourt ciiri do under the law la to sentence-each to five to 15 years i In the peniteTrtiary and recommend that at the; end. of the minimum sentence they' be paroled. ? After tfie jury retired, A tterney Glen Hoover, of Seattle, who represented the men, was brought before Judge Davis on contempt of court proceedings as th-e " result of hfs admitted spiriting : Of Charles MeDaniels and Harry Har ris, state witnesses, from the state. Judge Davis fined Hoover $10 and re mitted Hie fine On recommendation of District' Attorney Evans. " . ' The jury spent ftut an hour and a .Quarter in actual deliberation and it Is understood that it stood 10 to 2 for conviction from the start.: The jury retired at 5:30 o'clock, took an hour for dinner and returned its verdict at 7:55 o'clock. Judge Davis, Attorney Hoover andLthe- men, with Deputy ; sheriffs and , the court officers, were "present Tma men took the verdve-t .calmly. Sentence will be passed Tues day morning at 9:30 jo clock. Hoover's jdefense to the contempt proceedings was lack of knowledge that the men were necessary and ma terial witnesses, but' Deputy District Attorney Evans and District Attorney Collier disputed this lack of knowl edge, saying that Woover admitted he knew of the fact when lie 'was on the stand Friday. J. . M. Starr, , under indictment at -Oregon City". on a charge of forging the name of W.-H, . Reed,, secretary-treasurer ot. the Shingleweavers' union, to checks, was the principal witness for the state yesterday.

"He told roe they were tired Of beating up 'scabs' and ; intended to .go after the mills and the mi J I owners." Attorney, A. Walter Lafferty, asso ciate.jRp'inpel for the defense, object ed to Ktarr's testimony as hearsay and Hoover offered to let it go in. Trouble, 'between the attorneys for the defense ' seemed Imminent, w hen the defend ants themselves agreed that the testi ;.raony 'might go in. . 4" Patterson and Priest were charged itjj j spreading phosphorous about the xj i i It and six fires were discovered. The drUrie'was traced to them through the odor aCthe chemical. '. The defendants admit tad that Priest's hands were tturnedxsvith the phosphorus, but laid the crime at the missing MeDaniels door, saying the burned hands resulted from an experiment performed after MeDaniels had told them he set the fires when MeDaniels was showing how the tires had been set. v Both Patterson and Priest are mar ried, and have families. They have beerilield in the county jail since their ' arrest.- OREGON PEOPLE ASK PRESIDENT TO URGE ENDING BLOODSHED (Continued From Page One.) atead of securing signatures generally as has been done in other statea. con fined himself to securing the names of those Who hold responsible official po sitions, or who are prominent in finan cial, industrial, transportation, manu facturing and other important enter prises. !
