Pathe-eomedy; ."Salety Latr' and the- big event fn their lives " took place : shortly after the completion of the pro duction. This delightful romance of the silver sheet began about three years ago when Mildred joined the Hal -Roach : forces " and made 1 her first appearance with Harold in the two-reel comedy, "From. Hand to Mouth.',' A warm friendship sprang , up . between the young people resulting In merry wedding bells. And '.'Safety Last," by the way, is the : last picture in which Harold and .Mildred will be seen together, for Mrs. Harold Lloyd is to star in her own right in feature pictures. It is a fitting thing- that "Safety Last" tells tone of the most charm ing love stories ever presented in a picture, i As the Boy, head over heels in love, -Harold gets into the most trying difficulties.

Proof " that successful stage dramas can be adapted to the mo tion picture screen is &5own in the Universal photoplay, "Trimmed in Scarlet,? i showing at the Bligh theater Saturday and Sunday. - The play was adapted to tha screen by Edward T. Lowe. Jr., from the Broadway stage play of the same name by William Hurl but. . in which Maxine Elliott starred. The usual run which the stage play bad on Broadway is being echoed by national popularity since the production of the photo- drama. ! . The . story isn't new. It's the child love and mother love theme that nearly every writer and pro ducer have ; tried their hands ' at some time. That '.Trimmed In Scarlet" is better than the aver age of this type of play is due in the picture to the versatile direc tion of Jack Conway and the char acterization of the parts by the players.

In hla dying declar ation James Harry Phillips stated that he saw these men, and 'I asked them, "What are you fel lows doing there?' -Hhey replied with' bullets.' Though fatally stricken, he returned the fire end wounded one of the train robbers, for blood was found where the robbers were standing. 1 Case Seems- Clear "All mnst admit that, first de cree murder . was committed in the state of Oregon one June . 14, 1921. by the killing of James Harry Phillips, and that the pun ishment for that crime is death by hanging. Doty demands that those guilty of this foul - crime should pay - the extreme penalty. "Executive clemency has been asked for the defendant, Dan Casey. "Neither sentiment or Justice of ? the death penalty, have I consid ered in the least in arriving at my ' decision as to -whether I should lor should not extend - executive clemency. I have read the record with an open. mind. , "Dan Casey was arrested on the 17th of June, 1923," three days after the homicide. He was un der the bed la John I : Barns' room at 129 Russell street, Portland. Or. He had a gunshot ' wound In his wrist,1 that had been r made by a ,88-caliber leaden bul: let. This wound was about three days old, and no older. (Justice Brown.) Stories Conflict" r 'There are many conflicting stories as to how the wound was made. In the trial of the ease ' the defendant, Dan- Casey, swore it was inflicted In Vancouver, Wash. In talking to him a few days ago, he told me that the statement In the testimony was false, claiming that the wound was inflicted in Portland, Or., In a difficulty over moonshine. "Blood was found snot only where the murder was committed but along the track taken by the murderer. The wound in the wrist of Dan Casey was .serious, still no doctor i was called to dress Jt. Dan Casey's explanation of ; this wound In his wrist Is entirely un satisfactory. The circumstances prove conclusively to me that the wound was Inflicted ln the wrist of Dan Casey from a bullet fired from the gun of Special Agent James Harry Phillips. , j . . Height of Man Evidence l :. "A ,38-caIlber Colt gun was found in John L. Burns' bed lun ger which Dan Casey was found f!by an officer of the law. Another -".oS-CiTt "guif was found in a room I ic'-t, vrarrPfi In a copy of 1921. The testimony is concl u sire that the murder was com mitted by tall men. Dan Casey is exceedingly tall. " ' "It is a fact, admitted, that Dan Casey and i John L. Burns were chums and , close ' friends, - "John L. Buns was tried three times and on the third 'trial was acquitted. j Dan Casey was tried twice and on the second trial con victed. I have heard much argu ment In favor of granting execu tive clemency to Uan Casey be cause a Jury acquitted John Li Burns, his partner. I fall, to grasp the force of this arenmenl. .Th question of the guilt 'or innocence v& wuu u. juuiub ib uui Deiore me, and II cannot see how it should in any manner affect this searing tor executive clemency.

"I 'believe that he had a fair and Impartial trial and that he was found guilty by an honest jury. The case was presided over by a competent Judge. The su preme court, on careful review of the facts and law,. confirm the de cision of the trial court.
