extremely young. V J3y 'next year
eIt is expected that the erop will be
doubled, . and the "year following
frill see even a greater production
n order to handle this branch of
the , Industry more efficiently,
Paulas is planning to establish a
krading and cucUon machine to
handle the nuts, and to get open
mesh' bags with, which to sample
the nuts." If the, filbert Jhjdustry
continues to be the success It has
beea this year, It is probable, that

with the Sicilian filberts. . 1 -,

In the generaPdirection of the
prison garager 'Then he" slumped
sideways and I, heard him mutter
jThey'Te got me!" Then he swung
around and shot-Mr: Holman, who
was sitting alongside of the: wall,
wounded. The - shot killed Hol
man, but I don't know whether It
was done -intentionally or acci
dently. . ;, r . ?v .
"I then jumped down. from the
wall nd went to Jones." r"Jones
said: Take my gun Kelley, you'll
need Jt to get an automobile if you
don't catch up with the other
boys. It's remptyfnbuT you "can
stick up a- car with It. I'm done.
Play careful, don't; make it; more
than one Then I followed Wil
los and Murray, who had a lpng
start across the field." .' i .'
Whea kelley had finished his
storyv uninterrupted bys his coun
sel, his face was covered with per
spiration. He stolidly reiterated
his statement that he1 had ho
weapon until after he was outside
of the prison.' ' J'. '
Kelley, y under examination by
his attorney, stated that lie was
32, years ; of age and that 'he was
born in Wisconsin, reared in Iowa,
and, that when he .was lS .his par
ents moved to Grants. Pass.
"Dir ybu meet with any serious
accident,", King -asked him.K
"The most serious Injury I can
recall," ;the defendant stated, oc
curred inIowaIn the early "part of
1913. I." had a. serere fall, strik
ing the. back. of.iny Jiead and ren
dering. me unconscious. I was, 17
years old then,, and have been in
poor j health .since. , r have been
afflicted continuously with severe
headaches."
The defense evidently Intends
to intimate that this blow' on the
head had an' influence in Kelley's
future career," but' the plans suf
fered a noticeable setback when
District Attorney ..Carson' drew
from the witness the statement
that the blow' occurred .when-'Kel-
ley fell from a bunk in a county
jail in Iowa, where , he .had . tbeen
sentenced for larceny.
f During the -cross-examination
by the district attorney it was ad
mitted by Kelley that he had been
In prison and - in jails numerous
times . before he was finally sen
tenced to 20 years in the Oregon
state prison-f or aiding In the es
cape of Oregon Jones tltom the
Josephine county, jail.
According to the witness' ad
mission, he was first sentenced to
10 days in jail at Boone, Iowa, for
larceny, in 1913, , later going to
the same. jail again: on the same
charge. He also served two one-
year; sentences in the Multnomah.

who tney saw as - they rushed
across the field, between the prison
and the state hospital. '"Well, the
first one we saw was a nut!'"
Murray said. "I guess he was,
anyhow."' . . '
'flight he not have been an at
tendant," Mr. King asked. -
"No." Murray B&id, laughing, "I
think he was connected with the
other end of . the institution."
Shortly before the state con
cluded its case, the district attor
ney called Sheriff O. D. Bower to
ine stand and had him, identify
the shotgun: t ound by himxmnder a
log in i tne neignoornpoa oi me
I WOlardschoolho'usev. .This gnn
rveiiey admits hiding arter the con
victs had left the 'commandeered
automobile In which they escaped.
According to Sheriff Bower and
Deputy Roy Bremmer, who .suc
ceeded aim on the stand,. one shot
gun "cartridge was found in . the
barrel of the gun. Moisture, the
witness said, had swelled the shell
to such an extent that it was only
with" difficulty that it was extract
ed from the firearm.- Both wit
nesses identified the gun and the
shell. "
The defense has maintained all
through the . trial that the, gun
carried by Kelley was empty, and
this was later' reiterated by Mur
ray,! who .declared that he. him-
self, had inspected Vthe shotgun
and found no shells in it
. During the morning session and
parfor'The' afternoon,, the state
introduced "stenographic notes
taken "by Miss Blanche Barrett,
court reporter." These notes were
taken by Miss Barrett at the time
Kelley and -Wfllos were returned
to the state prison after their es
cape and ; were statements made
by them in the presence of the
district attorney, his deputy, Sher
iff Bower, and others.
In these notes both defendants
declared that they had no inten
tion of shooting, and that the plan,
as outlined to them by Murray
and Jones, did not call for the use
of firearms.
During the -session yesterday
the defense brought out the state
ment frequently that , the use of
hashUh. a. drug derived from EAGLES' CHIEF VICTOR
that its use by the defendants had
influenced ,their subsequent ac
tions. . ' - -The
motion of the defense that
Johnson Smith," former warden at
the prison) and George A. Whiter
adjutant, general, be permitted to
testify .as expert witnesses, was
overrule by the. court. Smith, the
court held, could nol; qualify as
an expert witness.
Jt is thought that the case will
go to the jury by the end of the
week, some believing that it will
be concluded by . Friday evening
The defense, howeveir, is under
stood to have a large number of
witnesses yet to be- examined, and
it is entirely possible that the case
will continue over fntjo next week.
