and this is borne out by the fact
that investigation revealed the li

from a car owned by the Blake

men were a short handled sledge
hammer, a wrecking bar or jimmie
two feet long, a .45 caliber Colt
revolver with three1 soft nosed
shells in the chamber, and three
brand new flashlights.
Local authorities believe that
the car they were driving had also
been stolen, but as yet that has
not been ascertained. Portland
authorities are investigating, the
matter, and also whether or not
the three have records In Portland.

more than 25 years old, gave their

STATE'S PLANS JOLTED
District Attorney ('arson's Idea to
Place Murray on Retrial for
Death of Sweeney Meets
With Opposition
Ellswortb. Kelley and James
Willos, convietsj who participated
in the prison break of August 12,
were placed on trial for their lives
in the Marion county court house
late Thursday afternoon following
the retirement of the jury in the
Murray murder case. Both con
victs are charged with the mur
der of John Sweeney, guard, for
which crime Murray was also
tried. The state is seeking the
death penalty. Originally it was
planned to try the two men separ
ately, but upon agreement between
Will R. King, counsel for defense,
and John H. Carson, district at
torney, the men are being tried
together, saving the time and ex
pense of obtaining a third jury
and third trial. ;
Plans of the! state were jolted
through Judge j Percy R. Kelly's
overruling a motion by District
Attorney John j H. Carson for a
postponement of the Kelley-Willos
trial until after the iury had re
turned its verdict in the Murray
case. District Attorney Carson
sought to halt further prosecution
until Murray's ! fate was learned
Should the verdict be "guilty as
charged in the indictment." mean'
tag that the death penalty would
automatically be inflicted, District
Attorney Carson would then pro
ceed with the Kelley-Willos trial,
but should there have been no
verdict, due toj disagreement, he
planned to immediately place
Murray on retrial for the death of
Guard Sweeney;
The state will ask the death
penalty for Kelley and Willos re
gardless of the verdict returned
against Tom Murray.
Immediate steps were taken in
the selection of the jury, attor
neys questioning on practically
the same line as they did in the
Murray case. It is thought that
a complete! panel will be obtained
by the time court adjourns this

SYMPATHY IS EXPRESSED AT
OLD BARNEY'S FAILURE
President of American League
Criticises Harris For
Sentimentality
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. (By
Associated Press). Washington
fandom took to heart the Senators'
defeat by Pittsburgh today. Its
regret was heightened by the fail
ure of Old Barney Johnson to
carve more deeply his niche In
baseball's hall of fame by winning
three games in , a world series.
Thousands standing on the streets
before play boards cheered the old
v.arrior after - each pitch in the
tarly innings while Washington
held a lead, but they gave way to
expressions of sympathy and dis
may as the Pirates battered dewn
the margin.
The home guard fans were pull
ing for a Washington victory with
Walter Johnson in the pitching
box, but as succeeding innings
added to Pittsburgh's attack, even
his staunchest -supporters were
calling for Manager Harris to re
lieve Barney of his burden. The
eighth innipg, when the Pirates
took the winning lead was hard
for, the loyalists crowding about
the score boards to watch and
many of them left for home.
- A mighty groan went up ,as
"Goose" Goslin fanned the air, for
the final out in the ninth which
meant more than the loss of the
world's championship to the Sena
tors:, it signified that Walter
Johnson had been baffled in his
desire to join that small group of
baseball's immortals who have
fought and won three games in a
title contest. '.'
Disappointment also was evi
dent, at the White House, particu
larly oa "the part of Mrs. Coolidge,
ardent Washington , fan; , Seated
close to a radio set she listened In
on the game from start to finish.
Presidentl Coolidge, a warm ad
mirer of Walter Johnson, also lis
tened to the early innings, but as
the game dragged on, slowed up
by rain, he was forced to return
to h!s desk where he learned the
result soon after the contest was
over.
CHICAGO, Oct. 15. (By Asso

Johnson of the American league
tonight criticized Manager Bucky
Harris of Washington for starting
Walter Johnson; three times, de
claring that the series was lost to
Washington "because of sentimen
