The day's proceedings brought one bright ray for the defense in the testimony of J. W. Martin of Uunsmuir, Gal., surveyor's rod man. Martin testified that he had seen two men lurking in the rail road yards at Siskiyou, Ore., a few moments before the holdup and presumed they boarded the train just before it entered the tunnel.

Under cross examination by the defense, Finneran was asked if he had not a few hours after the hold up in conversation with a "Mr. Hartley and a Mr. Inlow, described the two men as being big men. weighing about 160 pounds?" in response, Finneran said: "I don't remember." but would not deny he had said it.

RAILROADS END FEUD ON KLAMATH PROJECT (Continued from page 1.) and the Great Northern unless one or the other does not care to par ticipate, in which event the other may proceed on its responsibility. Authoritative sources pointed out today that the harmonious ar rangement effected between the two rival railways precludes the possibility of a disastrous compe titive stampede to throw the rich timber resources of the Klamath basin on the lumber market. The agreement of the two rail road systems ends a controversy of more than two years duration. The interstate commerce commis sion originally gave the Oregon Trunk permission to extend to Klamath Falls provided that an agreement was reached to avoid duplicate railway construction. These negotiations failed and the interstate commerce commission gave the Oregon Trunk permission to build independently into the Klamath basin. The Northern Pacific withdrew from the enter prise and the Great Northern as sumed the project on its own re sponsibility. Mr. Budd met Mr. Sproule In New York the first of the week to renew negotiations.
