A few more details . concerning this remarkable trial and matters cor . relating thereto might prove , of interest. : What became of all the gold old man . Delaney was known to pos sess at his farm home remains till a mystery. N. T. Caton. the principal lawyer for. the defense, suffered so much obloquy for his connection with the case that he subsequently moved to Walla Wal la, and died there at the age of over 90 years. , . David : Logan, however, one of ' the lawyers - for the defense, re . oeired the republican nomination) for congress three years after, but was unsuccessful, being defeated by Jos. S. Smith, democratic nomi nee y 1200. W. U Adams, a leader, in the pioneer days of rep- ubllcanism for .Oregon, bitterly assailed the candidacy of Logan In 1868; Logan refused to sup port the republican ticket in 1870 and was characterized by H. W. Scott of the Oregonian as , the "prince of ingrates." Logan had been' the candidate at three dif ferent times j on the Republican ticket and was unsuccessful . in every instance. - The old wooden court house was . entirely too small to accomodate the throng that clamored for ad mission to the trial of Beale and Baker, and the court was adjourn ed to meet in Griswold's theatre j in GrUwold'fl blocks now known as the 'Murphy building or Capitol hotel.- During the proceedings a ,' small size panie took place in the i theatre owing to the false cry that the building was collapsing, and subsequent proceedings were ' held in the legislative hall in what then was known ; as the Holm an building, i The criminals, however, were sentenced to the (gallows by Judge Boise in the .court house i building. Beale and his companion were convicted on purely circum stantial evidence, not a link, how ever, was missing In the chain ol evidence. No appeal was taken from the verdict and the prisoners-were executed on May 17, 1865. The crime was committed 'January 9 previously. ' : An enormous crowd was present in Salem on the day- of the ex ecution. I was then a pupil in the Salem district" school, and th principal, D. C. Pearson, declared -a holiday for the occasion. Dr. J. W. Meredith, then a drayman and truckman, drove the "death bus" containing the condemned men to the place of execution When all hope was gone. Beale and IBaker both . confessed -. that they were guilty of the crime, of ' murder, and their printed confes sions in pamphlet form were sold on the streets of Salem on the morning of the execution by Fred erick Schwatka and MileB M. Mil ler, two youths announcing that the proceedings would go to the widows, although Mrs. Beale and Mrs. Baker did not become widows until later in the day. Theodore Geer, afterwards governor of Ore gon, was living with; the Beale family at the time of the murder, -working for his, board while at tending Willamette . university. .This incident, of course,- ended Geer's school days at Willamette.

It is true that Mallory received quite a reputation forvhia skUl in hand ling the case, but there was some thing else iwhich lead to his poli tical distinction in 186C. The republican 'convention met .in Cbr vallla in the spring of the. latter year. The majority of the dele gates really intended to confer the nomination for congress upon Dr. Wilson Bowlby of . Forest Grove and to nominate I. It. Moores of Salem for governor, but some of Mai lory's friends earnestly plead ed for a complimentary; vote for their man, with the result that so many."compHmentaries", were cast for Mallory that he obtained a majority vote. . This surprising result automatically removed Moores from consideration for the gubernatorial office,- and " his name was not brought before the convention, although the majority of the delegates were - favorable to him. ! A. C. Gibbs, then governor, was not seeking a renomination, as he was at that time an avowed candidate for the 'United States senatorship. ; i , : , Samuel E. May and E. N. Cooke. both from Salem, were candidates f or ' the renomination, respectively for secretary of state and state treasurer, and it was conceded. to them unanimously. To have given the nomination for governor to a Salem man, thus ' placing on the ticket four, nominees for the prin cipal offices from. Marion county, would have proven bad politics and was entirely out of the ques tion. We surely would have then heard" the cry of "The Salem Hog.'.' George L. Woods came -as delegate to the convention from The Dalles with no thought of becoming a candidate for any office, but the nomination for governor was un expectedly bestowed upon him and he was elected by a narrow mar gin, although some of the leading democrats of the state contended that the candidate, James jK. Kel ly, was counted out, and at the session of the legislature of 1868, when they controlled both branch es, they endeavored to have the matter reopened and a recount made, but the republican members thwarted this movement by re signing in a body and leaving no quorum to transact business. Dr. Bowlby and H. W. Scott in after years had ' bitter newspaper con troversy, the inception of which quarrel was a failure for Dr. Bowl by to receive the nomination for congress in I860. Governor Woods was importuned to call a session of legislature to pass the urgent appropriation' bills, but resolutely refused to do so. The taxes from the different counties, in the meantime, j kept rolling into the state treasury and an enormous surplus was accumulated by E. N. Cooke, the. state treasurer. The situation was not, relieved until the legislature met in 1870, when the democratic party assmed full sway.-- - f - - NATIVE OREGONIAN.
