MYSTERIOUS THIRD PERSON
PLAYS IMPORTANT PART
Man Who, Defense Allege, Was With
. Hlball at Time of Murder, Is Do
.scribed by Prisoner Defendant
Subjected to Rigorous Cross-examination
Prosecution in Rebuttal
Takes Up Impeachment of Witness-
-Room Again Crowded.
Now Arguing Case.
About 2 o'clock this after
noon the taking of testimony m
the Arnold case was concluded
ana mo attorneys began upon
their arguments to the Jury. The
case will doubtless go to the
tnry some time this evening.
That mysterious third person all
houletted against the sky line so often
and persistently In the murder case
now on trial In the local court has at
last been Identified, fl Is Paul Lew
is. Somebody saw him here, some
body there, but the defendant him
self saw him and was with him In
Pendleton and In Echo. The defense
seems to move this Paul Lewis n a
mysterious way there wonders to per
form. The defendant Arnold testified that
Paul Lewis was in Pendleton on the
morning they went down to Echo,
that Is when he and Riball went to
Echo, Paul Lewis was at the depot
when tho local train loft carrying
Arnold and Rlball. Lew9.dld not
go down on that train, the defendant
says so himself, but that afternoon,
some time In the afternoon, the de
fendant met this Paul Lewis In Echo,
and tho defendant wild there was no
train In at that time. The defendant
and Rlball and Paul Lewis went to
dinner together and it was not yet
dark, It was daylight, and then some
body went to the hotel, probably Ar
nold and Rlball. He didn't, know
where Lewis wentj. The defendant
and Rlball stayed around the hotel
that -afternoon, then they went to
supper. And then they went back to
the hotel and stayed there all night
"What room did you occupy that
night at the Echo hotel?". Mr. Phelps
asked the defendant.
Riball occupied room 15 with the
defendant, the defendant said.
Then Mr. Phelps asked the defend
ant tf he wrote his name on tho reg
ister that night.' The defendant ad
mitted he. did. Mr.' Phelps asked him
tf he saw the man write the name
Just above him on tho register, the
T.cwIh. The defendant did not see that
nmi! of this mysterious man. Lewis
written. Vet tho defendant was posi
tive that Rlball was the only person
who occupied the room 16 with him
that night. But 'the register shows
that this man of mystery Paul Lewis
also occupied room 15 that night
And the defendant says he and Rl- j
ball occupied that room
me jury
was left to draw their own conclu
sions.
The Cross Examination.
On cross-examination District At-
tomey Phelps took the defendant
vr jverv inrh of l ffrnnnif vrM1a!
over every inch of the ground while
he was In Echo, he walked him back
and forth from the Echo hotel to the
depot, and from the depot to the Echo
hotel and from the Echo hotel to the
Jap restaurant and from the Jap res
taurant to tho Echo hotel, until the
street commissioner had to put In a
now sidewalk. Ho took him to the
hotel office and registered him on
Sunday and on Monday and on Tues
day, and on Sunday morning and
Sunday night and Monday morning
and Monday night, he registered him
before breakfast and after breakfast,
before dinner and after dinner, be
fore supper and after supper and for
a while It looked like be was going
to get Him up to register again after
he had gone to bed.
And then he began on that horse
proposition, about the two saddle
horses that the defendant admits he
secured from the Barker livery sta
ble on Tuesday afternoon. The de
fendant testified that he and Riball
and this man Lewis were at the depot
and Rlball and Lewis said they want
ed to get a couple of saddle horses
to go out In the country where Rlball
had' a Job on a ranch ond the defend
ant said he was acquainted with Mr.
Barker and could get them a couple
of saddle horses and forthwith . went
and got tho saddle horses, leaving Rl
ball and Mr. Mysterious Lewis at the
depot. Then ho . go on ono - of the
horses and rode over, to the Echo ho
tel. ' ; i '". ; .

WITNESS STAND
asked
To soe .if Rib"all was ready to go,
was the answer.
What did you go to the hotel for to
see If Rlball was ready to go If you
left him and Lewis at the depot Just
a few minutes before?
In answer the defendant said he
saw Rlball cross the street to the ho
tel after he left them at the depot,
but that Lewis was still at the depot.
And so on It went, so fast and hot
was tho stream of questions shot at
the defendant that the audience had to
hustle to keep within hailing distance
of tho thread of the story.
Tries to Prove Alibi,
Cut tho defendant came back with
an answer every time. He hung to the
original story with a tenacity that was
admirable. He delivered the horses
over to Rlball and Lewis down by the
end of the bridge after thoy crossed
the railroad track. But after he got
the horses from the bnrn upon his re
turn from the hotel to see If Rlball
was ready he rode toward a warehouse
near the depot and there Rlball got
on the other horse. Then they start
ed down the road. Didn't go to the
depot for Lewis because Lewis was
walking down the railroad track.
They passed Lewis and didn't say any
thing to him. They crossed the rail
road track and didn't stop to wait for
Lewis but rode on across the bridge
and there the exchange .was made.
The defendant then came bark up
town. He went over to the hotel
kitchen where his ex-wlfe was work-v
ing. He say her there and he also
saw that Miss Nlssen there. He then
went back te the depot and waited for
the horses. About six o'clock this Miss
Nlssen Y;ame over to the depot and
talked with him. He was standing on
the railroad track in front of the de
pot when she came over. He alRO
bought a bottle of beer that after
noon at a saloon In Echo and a Pen

Paris, Jan. 28. Rearing its ugly
head out of the polluted flood waters,
tho horrible dragon of disease bared
Its fangs in the face of Paris today,
and tho stricken city hesitated in its
rejoicing over the arrival of the flood
crest, with a sickening sensation of
Its new peril. Health officials are
sending out placards warning of death
lurking in tho waters, befouled by
broken sewers. Soldiers and police
havo positive orders not to allow any
one to move back Into the flooded
houses after the water begins to re
cede. Inspectors report breaks in the
sewers have been so frequent as to be
necessary for officials to burn all
clothing, bedding, carpets and other
material which absorbs water. All
of the flooded houses must be fumi- (a
gated and walls scraped before the oc- ' ' . -
cupanta can safely return to them. I V"h but on ay mor" t0 run.

Drowns Before Many
Within sight of scores of ' persons
unable to rescue him, Corporal Trip
tier was drownedtoday in the water
covering the sidewalks of Qua! De
Hilly. He had gone out In a boat with
two other soldiers, and a messenger
boy when the small craft capsized and
all of the occupants thrown into the
water. His companions were unable
to reach places of safety, but Triptler,
weakened by constant service for sev
eral days and nights, was unable to
keep himself above the tide.
A sewer broke this afternoon near
Central market and flooded the base
ment where a large quantity of fish,
eggs and game had been stored. Most
of the provisions were destroyed and
the market was rendered so unsani
tary as to be almost useless. '
HENEY WILL FINISH HIS
CASE Tins AFTERNOON
. Portland, Ore., Jan. 28. Heney is
drawing the loose ends of his testi
mony together in the Herman case to
day, and promises that he will close
his case at the middle of the after
noon. It is now concluded with the
exception of the testimony of Scott
Smith, former private secretary of
former Secretary Hitchcock, who will
be put on the stand soon after the be
ginning of the afternoon session. At
the conclusion of the government's
case the court will adjourn for the
remainder of the day that the de
fense's attorneys may have an oppor
tunity to shape their case for presen
tation to the court and Jury. It now
seems certain the cose will not be sent
to the Jury before the latter part of
the coming week.
Will Switzler of Umatilla is in town
