and landed in the n ty jail by Sheriff
Shntt. were given a pieiin.innry hearing
in Justice Williams' court Friday last.
Ti'ey attracted considerable attention
when being marched a'ong the street in
ehack'es, and the court room was
crowded with spectators.
They appeared before the court in a
very downcast an I thoughtful mood,
and from the luxuriant growth of black
beard on their face, it was evident that
the many razors that they carried had
been but little used.
While the tropical climate of the
county jail had had the effect of caus
ing the tourists from far away Italy to
shed two or three suits of clothes, still
they were fait ly well clad.
Joe Rosa, who appears to b9 the lead
er, was placed on the stand, lie could
nnderstand but little Fnglish. The
town was searched for a dago language
artist, but no interpreter could be found.
To the complaint, Joe Rosa answered
in bad English for himself and com
panions, sayinir that they were not
guilty.
Deputy District Attorney Woodson
called Reginald Horbern to the stand
for the prosecution.
Horbern told a straight story and
identified each of the Italians as the
men who held him up.
Horbern who claims to be from Boise,
Idaho, said that he first saw the Italians
at Umatilla, and the next time be saw
them was at Irrigon, where they were
all sidetracked. The facts as to the
robbery as told by Horbern were about
the same as published in last week's
Gazette.
The plunder carried by tbe Italians
was introduced in the court room. It
consisted of several revolvers, nnmer-i

The statement that one of the men
carried drafts on a New York bank for
$550 was a mistake as was proven by
close investigation. The supposed
drafts were only receipts for drafts that
