Hell No Penitentiary The Almighty's scheme of punishment differs entirely 'from that in vogue in Oregon, according to the Rev. Billy ' Sunday, who as chief devil chaser is a recognized authority upon hell and its penalties. Here the idea of reformation of the sinner has largely replaced that of punishing him, but according to Mr. Sunday, fire and brimstone continue to make existence miserable for the damned in the hopeless hereafter. Rev. Sunday is very much in earnest about it, too. We read in the Portland papers of his Hurrying his words with mac-hiuc-gun rapidity, not stopping cveu while his audience thundered its applause; lie hammered the pulpit, stood on it, lay on it; stamped about the platform, whirled agiley around on one leg the other poised at about the level of his neek, jumped, gesticulated, executed a home plate slide across the entire width of the platform, and wounil up, standing with one foot on a chair and the oilier alongside of the Bible on the ranting desk, with hand upraised, appealing to men. But to get back to hell, a subject everyone should be inter ested in, because most people are more or less frequently consigned there, this prison of eternity has little in common with the penitentiary of today, for according to Mr. Sunday, hell isn't fitted up as a modern club-house. Evidently gambling, merrawanna smoking, baseball games and radio concerts are tabooed. lie says : God didn't make hell for you to be comfortable in. Penalties, my friends were not made to conform to tlio comforts of tho criminal. No! No! That isn't It at all! You think you might he happy In a "llell whore they had carpola on the floor, electric lights, electric fans, water and lemonade, Icy lemonade that you suck through a straw, liavo the daily papers anil periodicals. Well, It Isn't filled up that way, take it from me. The Rev. Sunday is a firm believer in the orthodox hell, the best description of which, reads; Hell is ft bolting, seething bottomless pit Where poor damned sinners forovor sit. And broil, and stew nnd bake and fry, Gnawed by the worms Ihat never die! It is from this fate that Billy Sunday is trying to save Portland, including Mayor Baker and the Oregonian, and we hope they put up money enough at least for their own salvation. OPPRESSION JUSTIFICATION FOR BREAK (Continued tmrn Page One.) i fired Into the cell he occupied, and asked that the jury be shown the marks on and about the door frame made by these shots. Mood Thirsty Guard The defense further contended that one of the "bull pen" guards "has a mania for taking human II fo both In and out of the prison and that this guard did without cause at one time shoot and kill one James Ogle, a convict con fined to (he "bull pen." Also that the convicts In general were in fear of their live at tho hands of this guard. The contention was made such treatment of prisoners Is a viola tion of constitution of the the state and of the United States. Hearing out the Intimation that .self defense would be the answer to the charge of killing Guard Sweeney was a portion of the re. quest asking that the Jury be particularly shown tho lock on the front gat- of the prison, the for mer location of the stairs leading to guard tower No. 1, thru which the escaping convicts went ovei'j the walls with a view to establish incr tho inmosKihillNr nf pi-finlne- from the orison without kitllnL'f prison one or more guards. i -it I'ri-mi Hull I'en After an exteu.fjd conference In tho judge's chambers between the opposing attorneys and Judge Percy It. Kelly, Judge Kelly allow ed the request of the defense over the protest of the prosecution. The contention of the state was that such a defense as outlined by .Mr. King was not admissible in1 court Inasmuch as an attempt to escape from prison Is classified as a crime by statute In Oregon. Dis trict Attorney Carson contended that the recognition of such a plea by the court would open the way der Is necessary for escape with "Justification." The state also contended that the request of the defense, If grant ed, would inject an lrrevalent issue into the case, and that the present or condition of the "bull pen" had no valid bearing upon the com mission of the crime with which Murray Is charged. In all, ten aped no points bearing out these op jections were submitted by , the state. No sooner had the selection of the jurymen been completed yes terday afternoon and the jury sworn in than sentimental women led by the example set by Mur ray's sister began to flock around the defendant. The court was at ease and the Judge and attorneys were conferring over the program of procedure. Mrs. Nettie Sherman of Jeffer son was the twelfth juror select ed, and her final acceptance com. pleted the exhaustion . of the sec ond jury venire called for the case. Her name was the last of the fifty special veniremen left in the box. As it was sworn in the jury consists of three women and nine men. The other two wo men are Mrs. Maggie Ramsey of Silverton and Mrs. Bertha M. King of Sublimity. The nine men are Theo. Mlnden of East Stayton, Homer P. Cleve land of Liberty, L. P. Judson of Salom Heights. Harry B. Carpenter of Llvesley, Adolph Bom beck of Salem, Adam Burns of Salem, George Karrell of Brooks, Edward H. Hummel of Liberty ond Jacob Bingman of Gervais. Three prospective jurors were excused from service during the afternoon session on pleas of de fects In their hen ring, and four wore dismissed by the court for cause when It was established that .bin-j iiau jpi jiiiihi-1 cu UJM1I1UII ilO ! tfl rhn mni-fts t Via r IU they did not "feel that they could lay aside and consider the case lm- partially. ed in the break by the accused convicts, since boyhood, had de termlned ideas as to what should be done to Murray, and said so. "I know what I would do to those fellows who go around murdering good people," Herron said In reply to a question by the defense, Walter Skclton, whose house was robbed by trusties who escaped from tho prison, George A. Miller and Charles Epptey were others excused for having preconceived opinions. John W. Gamble, who had serv cd six years as a guard at the prison and who was employed there at the time of the famous Tracey- Morrill break In 1302, was remov ed from the jury box by pe renin tory challenge of the defense, but George Kan-ell, whose brother, b rank Farrell, was one of the guards killed by Tracey and Mer rill in their escape, was allowed to remain on the Uiry. 1 Judge Kelly's ruring to allow the jury to be Shown the "bull pen1 and other portions of the peniten tiary not actually involved as the setting and scene of the Murray lclley- lilos escape from that In stltutlon was made during a con Terence of the attorneys with the court, and only over the strenuous protest of the state. The prosecu tlon contended that only those por tions of the prison which figured in the actual break of the prison. ors should be shown to the jury but the court overruled the con tention. LLOYD'S FATE IN HANDS OF TRIAL JURY (Cont'Mietf from Page One.) tated murder, the state's testimony had been to the effect that the crime had been committed In an attempted robbery. Lloyd ndmltted freely the cir cumstances of the time prcceed- Theo. Herren, who said he had Ing and following the killing of to any convict to break and mur-known Lute Savage, guard wound Jiaun, but declared that he had no recollection of what happened he twecn the time Baun stopped the car because of engine trouble be yond Buena Vista and a later per lod when he found himself alone In the car between Albany and Sa lem driving north on the Pacific highway, - He denied part and ad mltted part of the confession In troduced by Francis V. Galloway, district attorney of Wasco county, who was one of the leading wit n esses for the state. Under cross examination Lloyd talked freely regarding all occur rences except the immediate time of tho crime. He recounted read ily the many places In Oregon and Idaho that he had lived since childhood and declared he had had no serious spells of Illness or suf fered any bad Injuries. He denied flatly, however, that he had ad mitted the details of the killing of Baun In his confession to District Attorney Galloway, or during the trip from The Dalles to Portland, or before the Polk county grand jury which Indicted him. Of the IS witnesses Introduced by the stato that of Mr. Galloway seemed moat effective as directly connecting Lloyd with the crime. His testimony consisted of the eading of Lloyd's responses to questions asked him by Mr. Gallo way on .September 3, the day fol lowing his capture at The Dalles. This had been taken down in short hand by a stenographer and trans cribeuShy typewriter. Defense At torney Harconibe objected stren uously to its introduction as evi dence but he was overruled. During Mr. Galloway's testi mony, Lloyd, who had remained ery composed throughout the rial, showed evidence of emotion nd his face became very red. According to Lloyd's answer. read by Mr. Galloway, ho had shot Baun when the latter was prepar- ng to re-enter the car after work- ng on the engine. Ho then declar ed he had driven away toward Al- bany without examining the body. 11. XV. Kelloy and James D. Mc- Cluakoy. O. W. It.
