WARREN RELATES STORY
OF SHOOTING DRY AGENTS
10 HAVE HIM LIQUOR
Indian Declares That he was Attacked After Having
Been Treated to Seven Drinks of Moonshine
Warned by Stool-pigeon to Look Out for Price
Gives Testimony Calmly
Dallas, Ore., Oct. 11. (Special.) Phillip Warren,
accused of the murder of Glen Price and Gover Todd,:
prohibition enforcement agents, in the town of New
Ronde in the early morning hours of September S
told his story of the shooting affray and the events
up to it on the witness stand of the circuit court h(
defense closed at noon, the prosecutor made his clq ad
dress when court reconvened,
for the defense waived his closing address and the court
instructed the jury at 3 :30 o'clock, and Warren's fate now
rests with the jury.
Declarations that Price grabbed, the rifle he had in his
hands with one hand and shoved a revolver in front of his
face with the other and atempted to shot him, but that the
revolver clicked and misfired; that during the evening he
had been givn seven drinks of moonshine by members of the
raiding party, and that he had been told by Perry, stool
pigeon of the federal officers, to look out for Price as Price
would shoot him, were the outstanding points in Warren's
Btory. He addressed the jury deliberately, gave his testimony
carefully, bufwith the demeanor-of one who seeks to be
careful of facts and figures,
deceive and mislead.
Warren, giving his version off
the fatal night's happenings be-
. J shortly before noon, asserted he
acted in self defense. He heard
Price's gun click once, he said
then started shooting, and he de
nied that he saw Todd at all. He
testified that he had taken seven
drinks during the evening, 3 of
them furnished by Perry or by
Perry and Price.
Deputy Sheriff Holden asked
If he was Intoxicated, declared hp
had never been drunk in his life
and said that he dranK not more
than a few spoonfuls on the night
ot the shooting.
When the state resumed Its re
mittal this afternoon It was pre
dieted that the case would go to
me jury tonight.

Substantially Warren's story
as as follows:
That, on the, evening of Sep
tember 2, his thirty first birthday,
ne took hia wife and oldest daugh
t and the baby into the town
of New Grand Ronde to attend
the picture show and dance. He
'aid that he took them from his

rather than one trying to
man he did not know, and that
they went outside where they met
Perry, who gave them a drink.
At this time, Warren testified,
Perry and the stranger were try
ing to get Petite -to secure some
liquor for them, and also asked
him to get them some. In connec
tion with their request for liquor
Perry told Petite,' Warren asserts,
that "you needn't be afraid of us
I'm a moonshiner and bootleg
ger too," evidently referring to
his conviction in the Tillamook
county courts for operating a still
and possessing intoxicating li
quor. Plied With liquor
Warren said he then returned
to the dance hall and shortly af
terward met Perry in the lava
tory, and Perry gave him another
drink.
Before leaving the dance again
Warren danced with a Mrs. Wins
low. Shortly after leaving the hall
he again met Perry and Price on
the south side of the dance hall
and the officers produced another
bottle of liquor, a quart this time.
After all had taken a drink Price
asked Warren if he had been able
to get any liquor for them and
Warren replied that he "hadn't
had a chance to see anyone."
Warren said that he had three
more drinks with the members of
the raiding party, one by the side
of the garage and two under the
grandstand of the baseball ground.
Under the grandstand, he said, he
had a drink with the man named
Dick and with Perry, that Dick
left them and that he and Perry
"killed" what was left In the bot
tle. Perry, he said, then told him
to go and get some liquor and to
meet them down where the auto
mobiles were parked.
Refused to Enter Car.
Perry, said he was unable to get
any liquor,' but that when he went
down to where the cars were park
ed the officers called him over to
them and told he and Petite, who
was already with them, to get into
the car. Perry refused, saying
that he had to go back to the
dance, and he declares that the
men then tried to force him Into
the car.
"I asked them," Warren said,
"why in hell I should get into
their car? And Price said, 1 11
show you.' "
Warren said they then grabbed
him and he saw Price pull a gun.
The I smashed him," Warren
said. "Then he shot me, or I
thought he shot me." (Warren
was here referring to the blow
other witnesses said Price struck
with his revolver.)
Warren says that then Price ran
down the street and Perry said to
Warren, "Now, fellow, you want

ernor Alfred E. Smith, of New
STork, when ha won renomination

to look out for that ,
he'll shoot you."
Warren declared that at no time
had the men told him they were
revenue officers. He eaid that he
then went to his father's house
and got a rifle for self protection
and returned down town. He ad
mitted that he asked severaTlieo-
ple where the fellow driving the
"Dodge car" was,- but denied that
he told the wife of the confection
er that he was looking for the
"revenue officer driving the Dodge
car."
Glen Otrden Testifies.
Glen Ogden, a resident ot
Gand Ronde, testified he saw
Price and Perry on the evening ot
the murder. Both, he said, were
tipsy, and Price was telling of his
wife and children. Price, Ogden
testified, said that he had met
Perry several weeks' previous and
that "they had been drunk ever
since. Ogden said he had one
drink with Price and Perry.
Sidney Willings, another Grand
Ronde man, testified .he met the
revenue officers in a lavatory at
Grand Ronde. He said he asked
them if they had anything on
their hips and that Perry answer
ed "yes." Subsequently, Willings
said, Perry brought forth a bottle
and all those In the lavatory with
the exception of one man, took a
drink.
Inongus Bonouch, also of Grand
Ronde, said, from the stand that
he was present in the garage when
Price and Todd were brought In
following the shooting. He said
that Holden, the deputy sheriff
produced a bottle and passed it
around and added that those in
the garage were "feeling good"
and had several drinks.
Helped Carry Todd.
Another Grand Ronde man, Gus
Winslow, said he helped carry
Todd into the garage. Holden,

bottle as he, Winslow, was work
ing over Todd, and that he an

of the murder about 2 o'clock. He
said he smellcd liquor on both
Holden and Perry and declared it
was quite evident that Perry had
been drinking.

TO RUSSIANS
Soviet a World Power To
Be Reckoned With Says
Tchitcherin Concerning
Turkish Issue.
Moscow, Oct. 11. (By Associ
ated"' Press.) Russia as a world
power must be reckoned with in
the consideration of all matters
bearing upon' her interests, such
as the freedom of commercial navi
gation through the Dardanelles
and therefore any proposition to
leave- the Soviets without repre
sentation in the first conference
proposed by the allies for settle
ment of the Near Eastern ques
tion is altogether Unsatisfactory
to the Moscow government.
In ; expressing thia view, M.
Tchitcherin, soviet foreign minis
ter, said:
"We are not making threats and
are not rattling the sword, but we
do insist upon proper considera
tion in all questions relating to
the Near East, particularly the
commercial freedom of the straits.
. "Questions in which we have
tremendous interests will natural
ly hi discussed at the first con
ference, and the Russian govern
ment feels it should be invited to
that, as well as to the one to be
held later.
"Russia today has recovered
and is a world power to be reck
oned with. We believe that the
action of the allies In blockading
the etraits, thereby cutting off
trade from our southern ports
where we are striving to reestab
lish our economics by our own
means desDite the failure of the
Genoa and Hague conferences to
helD us. is very unjust, and we
will act accordingly."
With reference to the United
States. M. Tchitcherin said there
were: several obstacles preventing
resumption of friendly relations
with Russia.
"Secretary Hughes," he said,
"has taken a stand which has
blocked the possibility of the Cm
ted States and Russia coming into
closer relationship, for the time
being at least. The United States
seems to look upon Russia as a
vacuum so far as trade Is concern
ed, and some how the Americans
still regard us as bandits and rob
bers and apparently will for some
tim& before they change their
views, despite our willingness to
meet the United States half way
in an impartial proposal."

CITY'S NEED IS
FIRE APPARATUS
That Salem needs additional
fire fighting equipment and need
ed it badly, was the assertion
made this noon at the luncheon of
the Rotary club at the Marion ho
tel by Joseph Baumgartner, mem
ber of the city council. He asked
that the Rotary men do all in their
power to see that the bill provid
ing for the bonding of the city for
an amount not to exceed $13,600
for the purchase of a triple com
bination engine should be passed
by the people of Salem at the com
ing election.;
The Instance of the burning of
the girls' training school building
several weeks ago was cited as one
of the many examples when the
city is left without adequate pro
tection. At the time of the train
ing school fire all the fire appara
tus left in the ctiy was the chemi
cal wagon. "I doubt If there is
enough equipment all together to
handle a fire such as might, break
out in any of the large buildings
of the city," Mr. Baumgartner
said.
City Attorney Smith also made
a short talk explaining the situa
tion in which the council was
placed by not being able to have
control over the chief of police.
He asked that the Rotary aid in
the passage of a bill to come up at
the coming election whereby the
chief of police would be appointed
by the mayor with the consent of
the majority of the city council.

Mudania, Oct. 11. (By Asso

alists and the allied powers here
late last night contains the exact
terms submitted by Lieutenant
General Harington, the British
delegate and the specifications
of which were made public yes

Isjnet Pasha, the Turkish repre

allied demands.
General Harington and General
Charpy, the latter the French

London, Oct. 11. (By Associ

of the Near Eastern tangle has
apparently been reached on the
basis ot the surrender-of eastern
Thrace to the Turks with proper
safeguards for the christian
minorities and the neutrality of
the Dardanelles.
A convention putting into ef
fect an armistice between the
Kemalists and the Greeks was
signed by the delegates at Mudan
ia late last night. The news
brought great relief here, where
there was considerable anxiety
lest the Turks remain recalcitrant
despite the newly declared unity
of the allies.
While the fragmentary dis
patches from the scene of the con

ally, it Is believed that Ismet

did so under orders from the An

terms had previously been for

Turks Delay Acceptance
The Kemalists had been given
until 5 o'clock yesterday after
noon to accept or reject the allied
proposals, and the reason for the
delay is not known unless last
minute changes ln the original
document were found necessary.
It is assumed, however, that the
armistice, as concluded, cor
responds closely to the allies'
terms, the main points of which
provided for evacuation of Thrace
within .15 days and complete
transfer of the civil administra
tion to the Turks inan additional
month; delegation of new neutral
zones along the Dardanelles and
Bosphorus by mixed military
commissions and non-occupation
of Thrace by Turkish military
forces until a peace treaty Is
signed.
