that he (Hurley) could either with

ItestH with Supremo Court.
As the outcome of an alleged
attempted suicide by Mrs. J. J.
Bailey, convicted of robbery more
than a year ago In the Deschutes
circuit, and out on $5000 bail since

opinion by the supreme court on the
appealed case, Mrs. Bailey is again

her bondsman, Henry Patjens of
Grass Valley, having refused to con
tinue to 'give security for her. Mrs.
Bailey Is under sentence of from
three to 15 years In the peniten
tiary, and word from the. supreme
couft is expected within the next few
days.
According to the story told by Mr.
Patjens, and Deputy Sheriff Reeder
of Wasco county, who brought the
woman to Bend, Mrs. Bailey, who
was housekeeper at one of the Patjen
ranches, had on several occasions
refused her employer admittance to
the place. Because of this Patjens
called in the deputy but Mrs. Bailey1
refused to leave. Finally under the
pretext of packing up her effects,
she went up stairs and took a large
dose of strychnine, coming down
immediately after, telling of.her deed
and reiterating the statement that
she would not leave the house.
The two men administered olive
oil In large quantities, called up a
physician and on his advice gave an
emetic, which is believed to have
saved the woman's life. The poison
had just begun to manifest its effect
when it was counteracted by the first
aid treatment given.
The case In which Mrs. Bailey
figured was one of the most sensa
tional ever in the Deschutes circuit
court. She was charged with hav
ing lured L. A. Rawlings, an aged
neighbor- living on an adjoining
homestead, to her house near Broth
ers, and there, assisted by her son,
to have tied him band and foot, later
going to his home and securing a
note and other papers.
The case was a hard fought one,
and after conviction Mrs. Bailey was'
able to secure bail from Mr. Patjens,
for whom her husband was working-
