The former treasurer also in sisted that whenever accommoda? tion checks or salary advances were made during his tenure in the office, cash to cover the smnnnt v as immediatelv replaced in the till, i Warren Richardson Tells of Shortage Warren Richardson, brother of the defendant, who also testified, told that in 1924, while serving in his brother's place in the trea surer's office, he discovered an 18000 shortage in the county's fund balances, and brought the matter to Drager's attention. The county treasurer, he testi fied, replied to him that he must have left something out in his reckonings. William S. Walton and David W.yre, both vice-presidents of the United States National bank of Portland, appeared as charae- ter witnesses on the defendant's behalf, and were Joined on stipu lation by Bert T.

Defense Attorney Keech, in an effort to rebut this .testimony, re turned the defendant to the stand, where the latter testified that his statement before the grand Jury had been conditional dependent entirely on the assumption that the money was actually gone. Jury members, on cross exam ination, failed to recall the condi tional nature of .his original tes timony. A stipulation wag added,before adjournment to the effect that Charles R. ArcherdV if present, would testify that Richardson had $885 invested in the Edwards Mining company.

ASTORIA, Ore,, July 12-flEV The story, of the destruction of the 1540-ton lumber-laden Greek steamer Hellenic Skipper 130 miles southwest of Aberdeen, Wash., Wednesday morning was told by 21 survivors .who "braved rolling seas on a lifeboat to reach here today,. No lives were lost. ' First Mate Arls Catselides said fire of mysterious origin broke out at 8 a. m. as the Honolulu bound freighter ploughed through heavy seas out of . Aberdeen. It spread quickly from the stoker room and in a few minutes en veloped the entire, ship. The crew put off in a lifeboat and made its way through deep fog and high waves, without a compass to near the Oregon coast. The boat was sighted by a troller, taken in tow and brought to the Columbia river bar. Here a US coast guard motor lifeboat took over and brought the survivors, one of them badly burned, to Astoria. Catselides said he attempted to send out an SOS as soon as the tire was discovered, but found that It had reached the dynamo and put the radio out ot com mission. - "In a- few minutes the crew was rushing about the decks. screaming and crazy with fear," Catselides said. Capt. Panis Danalis, the mate said, immediately gave the order to abandon ship. "In the mad scramble to get in the lifeboat, I ran across the form of A. Merrtzanis, the second engineer, who was badly burned," Cascades continued. He was lying on deck." The. engineer was hoisted into the lifeboat, and the crew pushed away from the burning vessel. "Then we saw two sailors who still were aboard," he continued.. 'They were screaming to be pick ed up." , . Although the men in. the boat feared the ship's boilers might explode, momentarily, they, put back and took off the two sail ors. I "The ship blew up 20 minutes after we pulled away," the mate saidn Then followed a struggle witn the elements; There were biscuits, water and other food aboard the lifeboat, but no compass. The mate said: they proceeded in the direction they thought would bring the survivors to land. At 8:30 a.m. today, A. B.

Cline was convicted of slaying George W. Chetty, 38, his mining partner. He previously said he would not appeal to the state su preme court. Governor Sprague has sent a letter to Arthur A. Tarlow, Port land, Cline's attorney, informing him of "his decision.' The .governor said he based his decision on the findings of Dr. John C. Evans, superintendent of the Oregon state hospital, who held that Cline is and always has been sane. "I found nothing la Dr. Evans' report which would Justify the ex ercise of : executive authority to alter the sentence imposed by the court in this case," Governor Sprague wrote Tarlow. Governor Sprague added that a decision of this kind was not pleasant to make. . Dr. Evans advised Governors Sprague that Cline is sane at the present time and there was noth ing in the history of the case to indicate that he has been frankly insane at any time during his life.
