James T. Watson, who confessed the murder of seven women, was today sentenced to life Imprisonment at Ban Quentln prison by Judge Frank R. Willis of ths Los Angeles county superior court. The sentence followed Watson's plea of guilty to the murder of Nina Leo l)eoney, entered last week. Sentence was pronounced at 11:23. Watson ap plied for a stay of execution until May IS vthluh was granted by Judge Willi , The sentence was pnseefl on the rec ommendation of District Attorney Thomas Le Woolwlne, who told '.he court that conviction could not have been secured, a view in which the judu Raid he conceired. lie compli mented the sheriff and district attor ney on their conduct throughout the entire case. The defendant was so weak from hit seLfinflicted wounds and from his nervous tension that he was permitted to keep his seat throughout the pro ceedings, FJur allenlnts, two nomed by the cnurt and two by the district attor ney were heard. The court's experts expressed the view that Watson was hot entirely normal mentally, but said )i thoroughly understood what he had done. The other alienists wild Ihey bellevod he was practically nor trial. The evidence presented at the hear ing by Deputy Sheriff Coutts brought out the com pinto published list of murders laid to Watson and added n eighth, Mrs. Marie Austin, who was ftuld to have been drowned In Lake Ooeur d'Alene. Idaho. According to Cuutt's evidence Watson told him he had thrown Mrs. Austin's body Into the hike with a large rock, attached. ". In passing sentence' Judge Willis fcald: , "Your crimes as recorded In this Court are the moat henlous In the annala of criminal Jurisprudence.

Jenkins, trus ties employed at the stato prison wood i urn u near Aumsvllle, made their es cape late Humlay night. Meadors was Kent up from L'matllla county In 1914 for a term of not to exceed thirteen years for forgery. In 1918 he. was Conditionally pardoned and was re committed to the prison October 28, 1919. for a violation of his pardon, be ing Implicated n the robbery ot a store tit Astora In connection with Frank Wagner, who is now doing time for the crime. Jenkins was sent up from I'n Jon county last January for a term of not to exceed ten years for forgery. Commenting . on the escapes this morning Warden Compton stated that 1h escapes would have no effect on the policy of the prison with reference to Ihe management of the wood camp. The. contract under which the camp is being operated was entered Into sev eral years ago und Is already several yenrs late, it was explained and It is fcimolutely necessary that the enmp be maintained. The employment ot ku" guards at the cump is altogether I in practlcn!, experience having proven the present policy much more effec tive, and only the best risks are select--l for work in the eamp. Only four men have attempted to escape from the camp since Its Institution last No vember and of thene one was returned within two days leaving ramp. Visitors Lose to Senators in Slow and Easy Contest While Ch"t Hgifhes' Knights of Co lumbus team did not prove to be the wild, wild tigers anticipated, Sunday's game provedto be of more than usual Interest to Salem fans, In that It prov ed that the Senators are getting into good shape. The score of 11 to 0 may be taken as a pretty fair Indicator of the comparative strength of the two teams, The visitors brought in one of the lowest quality twirling staffs yet seen on Oxford field. Jacobbergcr, Barr, Van Hooslon, Manning and Hughes were evidently the only baseball play ers wtlh the visiting nine, and even these worthies, with the exception of Hughes and Van Hoomlson received error credits (?) Oalvln pitched six Inning for the visitors, facing 29 bat ters and retiring only six of these. When O'Oell replnced Oalvln, the fans hoped for a lense of life, so far a first class play was concerned. How ever, the lengthy hurler let down the burs, letting In three runs and only striking out Nelson. Huhach was rush ed in the eighth Inning and the bassa cre wns given new Impetus." All taken In one sad survey, the visitors signal ly falledto satlHfy Salem fans. Man ager Diddle Bishop feels that the Knights of Columbus team should be given credit for a sincere effort to meet the oiner tram at tne siding. Willett was killed in the wreck. Pharis' statement is corroborated by three persons living near Bertha station, who say they saw the train stop, two of Tllem declaring passeng ers boarded the train there. The sid ing Is only a few hundred feet be yond the station and Pharis could not explain why Willett had continued past when he failed to see the out bound train on the sidlng.as has been the custom. Coroner Karl Smith announced to day that an Inquest woulud be held tomorrow and would be "in the na ture of a Joint Inquiry, the Oregon public Service commission partici pating. Of those Injured, one was re ported to hi. in a precarious condi tion today. Sheriff Spoils Pretty Romance; Girl Too Young Dallas, Or., May 10.

A telegram from Astoria signed by seventeen bus iness firms urges the governor to act Immediately in supplying relief ry discontinuing enforcement of the gas oline gravity law until the legislature meets next January. Astoria has less than five days supply of gasoline now on hand the me8at?c states. Fishing and canning industries are threaten ed with a tie up unless the three thou sand fish boats and cannery tenders can be supplied. "Our tractors are laid up for lack of gasoline and plowing is being held up," wires T. A. Samis, Jr., of The Dalles, member of the state board of horticulture. "We are better off with low gravity gasoline than without any." Dr. C. J. Smith of. Portland tele phoned the governor this morning that a half dozen tractors which he was operating in eastern Oregon were laid up because of the lack of gaso line and prays for relief. Governor Olcott stated this morn ing that he was agreeable to any so lution that might be reached at the Portland conference. State Treasurer Hoff, who is entrusted with the en forcement of the specific gravity test, he declares, is entirely familiar with his view of the situation and his decision will be agreeable to the gov ernor who is inclined to the belief that some arrangement similar to that made last winter when a limited sup ply of low test gasoline was admitted The program of entertainment and lectures schedule for the meeting in the Commercial ciub tonight of the Salem Salesmen"s club is replete with attractive features.
