This assurance, that Japan won't har

Judge So Rules In McNa
mara Case
Holds That Venireman McKeefo's
Opinion Regarding Dynamite Doe
Not Usqutilify Hint.
Hall of Records, Los Angele. Calif,.
Oct. 23. (Bulletin.) In ruling on
the objection raised by the McXamara
defense to Venireman McKee, who
declared his belief that the Times
building was destroyed by dynamite,
which would require conclusive evi
dence to remove Judge Rordwell to
day caused consternation among the
attorneys for the defense when he
handed down his decision, in which
he held that this belief on the pari
fif a venireman, gained from reading
newspaper accounts alone, was not
sufficient to disqualify one from Jury
duty.
This is the first decision adverse to
the defense that Judge Rordwell has
handed down tince the trial started
twelve days ago. In rendering the
opinion, the court said:
"As long as n Juror says his opin
ion does not go to puilt, or Innocence,
of the defendant and he says that such
an opinion will not bias him In reach
ing a verdict, this court ha-1 n dis
cretion but to hold that the Juror Is
qualified."
The clviUengi s vf both Veniremen
Rolens u ,ind Mcintosh were allowed
and they were dismissed.
Attorneys Harrow and .Scott both
made strong argument against the(
ruling and so bitter wa Attorney i
Scoit's disappointment that ho open
ly charged Judge Itordwell with him
self being biasej and was in turn se- j
vi rely rebuked by the court They j
finally submitted to the decision and j
resumed the work of examining iii"re j
veniremen.
Tli is means that the defene will:
have t " peremptorily challenge Mc- J
K . and conserve Its ihallengts for
others like him.

THORNE PENETRATES
EYE OF LOCAL BOY
While riding horseback with his
small sister Saturday afternoon, Ralph
I'.trgess, 12 year old son of Senator
and Mrs. J, N Burgess, was struck in
the face by the branch of a locust
tree, and one of the thorns on It pen
etrated his eyeball, injuring that del
icate organ so seriously that it was
necessary to send the boy to Portland
to receive treatment from a special
ist. The accident happened about 8:30
in the afternoon In the alleyway near
Judge (i. G. I'help's property. The
two Uurges-i children were riding
along and In passing beneath a locust
tree the branch struck the boy in tho
face. Crazed with pain, he hurried
home and was taken at once to the
offico of Dr. C. J. Smith "where the
thorn was removed and tho eye
placed in a pack. Upon tho advice
of Dr. Smith, the boy was taken Im
mediately to Portland, where It Is
hoped a specialist can save the sight.
The thorn penetrated about an eighth
of an inch Into the eyeball, and the
wound besides being dangerous, Is
quite painful.

HIMSELF OF GIRL,
Boston, Oct. 23. The "other man"
bids fair to be the . pivotal point in
deciding the fate of Rev. Richeson.
Mr. Edmands has pledged bis fortune
to clear the minister and today the
cleverest detectives are scouring the
tenderloin to find who the other man,
suspected, Is and if he had been seen
with the girl in cafes. Assistant Dis
distc Attorney Lavetle said today he
would present the case to he No
vember grand jury. It is expected
the trial will start in January.
The case against Richeson is weak
ening. Tho minister this afternoon
formally stated that he is innocent
and the police are retracting previous
statements concerning their confi
dence in his guilt.
Boston. Mass., Oct. 23 Determined
to spare no one, no expense or no en
ergy in their efforts to save the neck
of Rev. Clarence Virgil Richeson, now
held prisoner on a charge of having
murdered nineteen year old Avis Lin
nell in order to remove her a an ob
stacle to his approaching wedding to
an hrire-s, friends of Moses Edmands,
father "f the accused preacher's fi
ancee, declaro today that a former
suitor of tii'e dead girl was responsible
for her physical condition and gave
her the drug 'hat caused her death
and the arrest of Richeson.
Inspector of Police Dugan today
declares that he has now completed
a chain of circumstantial evidence
which will undoubtedly convict the
minister of the crime. He says that
the evidence tends to prove that the
minister found It necessary to rid
himse.f uf the joung girl and that he
was crazy about money, which it is
claimed led lrin to become engaged
to Mi-s Violet Edmands, who is heir
to half a million dollars and whose
father is a millionaire.
Richeson is more composed today
and talks readily on any subject, save
the one which mo-t vitally effects
him that of tho murder charge,
strenuous efforts are being made by
him and his friends to frame up an
alibi.
It is claimed by some of his rriends
that Richeson is prepared to produce
the c.v.inide pottassium which he pur
chased from Druggist ilahn and which
it i alleged b0 gave to Miss Linnell
should It contain the same amount
hni the druggist sold him it will
sirou::ly favor his contention of inno
cence, unless it develops that the
package had been tampered with or
substituted with another.
The Edmands family is busily en
Raged in returning to their friends
wedding presents and recalling more
than one thousand wedding Invita
tions for the marriage of their daugh
ter to the accused minister, which was
to have occurred October 31.

millionaire father-in-law, Colonel

A MODERN CAVE
DWELLER FOUND
A m 'dei'ii cave dweller ha been
discovered mar tlvs city, aecord'ng
to city and county officers whose at
tention ha been called to the man.
For tho past three years, according
to their story a man apparently
thoroughly civilir.ed. has been m:ik;ns
a cave near I'ilot Itm-k junction,
three miles west of l'end'etoti. his
home and has eked out on existence
with his gun. According to Chief of
I'olice tiurdano, this singular indi
vidual came into the city last week
with a large number of coyote li do
which he sold to Jimmie Hacke't.
The chief declares he has been t"U
many times of this man and his bar
baric manner of living but had dis
credited the stories until recently.
when he verified them It Is said
that the man has fixed up the cave
with a few modern improvements and
has a good gun and a revolver with
which he bunts eoytrs and other var
mints and that he Is an expert
marksman. Apparently he does not
care for human companionship and
never comes to the city except to sell
his hides and purchase a few meager
supplies.

laborers Protest.
Seattle, Wash . Oct. 23. Ten thou
sand unionists and socialists attend
ed a mass meeting here yesterday to
protest against the prosecution of the
McXamara brothers.
That a pyromaniac is operating in
Pendleton has been the belief of many
people for some time and an Incen
diary attempt ma"ie upon the house
occupied by Rev. Frank J. Milnes,
pastor of the Presbyterian ' church,
early Sunday morning, strengthens
this belief. Only by the merest
chance was a disastrous conflagra
tion prevented and u3 it was, a large
hole was burned in the corner of the
pastor's woodshed, which adjoins the
houe.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning
the young son of Rev. Milnes was
awakened by a crackling noise outside
his window and noticed a glare. He
called to his father and told him
there was a bonfire in the yard. Rev.
Milnes arose and, upon investigation,
discovered that the corner of his
woodshed wag in 'Iames and he has-
tily aroused the neighborhood. Be
lieving that some miscreant had start
ed the fire, the minister seized his
rifle and conducted a hurried search
but, failing to discover anyone 'In
the immediate vicinity of his house,
hastened back and began applying
water to the fire.
He first attempted to use his gar
den hose but ice had formed in the
nozzle and he was forced to resort to
buckets, while the nozzle was thaw
ing out. With the assl-tance of
neighbors, he s -on extinguished the
flames, but declares that the fire was
burning so freely and rapidly that
in another ten minutes it would have
gained such headway that his resi
lience would have been doomed to de
struction. IiK-cniliiiry livitlenecs Found.
After the quenching uf the flames,
an investigation revealed the burnt
ends of kinJl.ngs which had un
doubtedly been used in i-tarting the
fire. The house is located on east
Coin t street and is ow ned by John
Crow, the well known farmer, but
neither the owner nor the occupant
can ascribe any rea-on for the at
c. nipt to injure them. Loth declare
to their knowledge they have no ene
mies and announce their belief that
some fiend with a mania for burning
was responsible for the blaze.
Other Similar Attempt.-!.
This ia the third time within a year
that supposedly incendiary a'tempts
have been made in the block in which
the i'roiv house is situated.
Not many weeks ago a barn on an'
juljo-ining lot was burned and about
a ear iigo a f;t'e was discovered on
nearby premises with strong indica
tions vf incendiary sin. Moreover, a
number of other firej and near-fires
in the last few week have been at
tended with very suspicious circum
stances. Thursday night, the barn
of 1". F. Averill was discovered afire
and the ri cent confl ignition which
''stroy.-d th. Oregon Feed Yard and
the skat;ng rink has never been ex
plained, the general belief being that
it was .-et. About six weeks ago, it
will i.e remembered, a house on Wil
low street owned by Mrs. Downey,
was discovered afire in the early
morning a quant. ty of ker osene-so.tk-ed
kindi'it being found under the
house.
There is no clew whatever to tho
identi y of the malicious person or
persons responsible for this chain ot s
fires and the situation is growing so
ba ! that many residents are growing
uneasy.
