A Eugene paper mentions what pur
ports to be a fact that that city has a
book whose antiquity is greater than any
within the state. Mr. John Bonn of this
city has a Bible, which we have seen,
ttiat was printed in 1577. The .print is
very plain and the book is in a perfect
condition. We believe the Eugene vol
ume cannot beas old as the 1577 Bible,
when the art of printing with movable
types was in its infancy. The very first
English book was printed by Caxton in
1474.

which were next the engine,; were
thrown from the track by the tree and

JACK HULL SENTENCED
Claimed He "Was Innocent, and Was
Visibly Affected.
His Attorney Gives Him the Benefit of
' a Kindly, Hopeful Talk Judge
jfradshaw'B Words The
Wettle Case.
Jack Hull, murderer of Ben Cum
mings, was brought into court at 9 o'clock
this morning to receive' sentence. He
was accompanied by both the sheriff and
deputy. He took his seat among the
chairs reserved for the grand jury, in
one of which sat his counsel, Mr. E. B.
Dufur. He shook hands heartily with
the attorney ana cast a nervous glance
around the court room.
After entertaining one or two motions
on behalf of attorneys in other caees,
Judge Bradshaw ordered the prisoner to
stand, and asked if he had anything to
say. before sentence was passed upon
him. The prisoner in a firm voice said :
"I am not guilty of the charge of murder.
I am aware that Stewart is an enemy of
mine and blame him as much as any
other man for my conviction. I am
aware that Cummings was an enemy of
mine, and if he had any principles of a
man I would not have been here and
Cummings would not be wherehe is."
Attornev Dufur then arose and made
a few remarks on behalf of the prisoner.
It was evident that he strongly syni'
pathizes . with his client, and as bis
words, spoken in a meek and sym
pathetic manner; reached the ear of the
prisoner, the tears coursed down Hull's
cheeks, though no sound came from his
lips. "I am aware," said Mr. Dufur,
"that nothing I can say could change or
affect the judgment now about to be
pronounced upon the prisoner, and it
would seem like a waste of time to even
refer to the circumstances. I feel that
Mr. Hull has been tried by a jury of
twelve men, every one of whom executed
his duty conscientously, and that no
matter what I may think they have
acted upon their best judgment. The
only object I have in speaking is that if
there is anything I can say that will
give one ray of hope to the man about to
be sentenced, I shall be more than re
paid. It has very seldom happened in
this state where a man sentenced for life
has been kept for life. Much depends
upon the future conduct of Hull himself.
and if he is tractable and behaves like a
man, and it is afterwards proven that
he has been the victim of circumstances,
if extenuating circumstances are shown,
there is strong grounds for the hope of
executive clemency." The- pardoning
power may come and he may be restored
to citizenship. Meanwhile his comforts
will be looked after, he will be treated
humanely, and his bodily ailments will
be looked after just as conscientously
within as without the prison walls, and
when he is restored he mav have the
opportunity to satisfy all persona and
this court that there were mitigating
circumstances."
Judge Bradshaw said : "The statutes
fix but one penalty for the crime of
murder in the second degree, and the
court has no option but to pass that
sentence, which is that yon be confined
in the penitentiary for the remainder of
your, natural life. The verdict has been
given by a jury of twelve men, who have
patiently listened to the evidence, and
have formed their judgment after great
deliberation. I have also listened care
fully to all of the evidence and am of the
same opinion as the jury, and believe
that it is a righteous verdict. . I do not
desire to harrow up your feelings, yet I
feel called upon to say that this calamity
has been brought upon yourself by'
yourself. It is due to your habit of
carrying a murderous gun, for which
there was no occasion in this country
The testimony showed no unpleasant
ness, and that the murder was unpro
voked. I fcave listened to a great many
trials of this kind, but none where there
was eo little provocation as this. . Before
one is justified in taking the life of his
fellow man, he must be hard-pressed,
and it would seem that there is no other
alternative. It is no light thing to take
the life of a fellow- man. Everyone is
entitled to his own life, and it should
not be takyi by another, unless under
the circumstances named. The judg
ment of the court is that you be confined
in the penitentiary at Salem during the,
remainder of your natural life."
The Wetle case was again resumed.
At the session last evening the defend
ant was placed upon the stand. His
memory ' teemed quite defective . at
times, and he did not aid his case any,
unless the fact that he is easily led into
difficulty will have its weight with the
jury for acquittal. Defendant's coun
sel summoned John Krier at 10:45.
o'clock at night to appear as a witness.
He was submitted to the jury . in evi
dence aa he sat in the chair. No ques
tion was asked him, and, somewhat dis
gusted, he returned to his cell- It
should be remembered Wettle is in
dicted as accessory for the same offense
that the. jury found Krier guilty. This
morning' the attorneys consumed the
time in reading law to the judge, includ
ing a speech an hour in length by the
attorney for defendant. W. H. Wilson,
attorney fpr state, concluded his argu
ment this afternoon and the case was
given to the jury. . ' " '...
At 4 o'clock the jury returned a ver
dict of guilty as charged and recom
mended the mercy of the court..
