HE DAILY GUAR o- EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY EVENING JUNE 13, 1907 Vol. 31 No 132 EUGENE ATTORNEY CAMPBELL PLEADS FOR SCHMITZ San Francisco, June 13. Lawyer Tamp!", in closing his address to the Jury ln the Scnmltz case today' cited incident after incident from the testimony of Former Police Coramls ,loner Keagan, the object being to 8n0w that Reagan was not In any of bis acts controlled by the mayor. One of his strongly urgent argu mpnts was this: "if these French restaurants were immoral places they had no right un der the law to exist, and having no rieht under the law to exist, there could be no threat to do them unlaw ful injury." .. Campbell conienueu iuui mc ac tion taken against the French restau rants was not that the mayor made an attempt to hold them up, but was crusade against the immorality at tending their conduct of their up stairs business, and that no legal rights were attacked; that when the mavor said to Reagan: "If these places are doing an Im moral business, you ought to shut them up," he merely expressed a sen timent and desire wholly creditable and wholly In keeping with his dutv. j Yesterday was an ear-burning day for Mayor Schmitz. Seated at the counsel table before the altar In the Jewish synagogue on Bush street, he heard Abe Huef, his former political friend, philosopher and guide, prac tically cull him a perjurer to the jury, and with that same burning he listened to a scathing denunciation I of himself at the hands of Special Prosecutor Hiram Johnson I And if there was balm for scourg led feelings In the speech that closed i the day, the speech of his own attor jney, Mr. Barrett, he took no open i heed. Indeed, during most of the iwo nours ana twenty-five minutes that Mr. Barrett was speaking, the mayor was either glancing over news papers or burled deep in typewritten page3 of testimony. But no word of the prosecutor's address escaped his sensative ears. From two acres of land, on which peach trees are planted, a Milton man will get $1,100 for strawberries.

The former governor smiling- ly held out his hand, saying: "How are you, Orchard?" Orchard broke down com- pletely. He said: "I am ashamed to look at yon, sir; I am ashamed to fr speak to you." The governor reassured him In a few kindly words and Orchard said: "I'm thankful that I didn't kill you, and am spared the thought of that crime."

After withstand ing with marvelous strength a week's examination t tint was one prolonged confession of crime Orchard today broke down for a few moments and wept like a child. Ills unnerving came with the story of his conversion and confession and the mention of King David ns a murderer, the llibli cnl figure which Is supposed to be Orchard's later guide. The defense had given a solemn tone to the scene preceding the meeting between Or chard and Detecelve Mcl'arland, to whom he confessed, by showing that Orchard was first Illegally brought to the penitentiary and thrust Into almost solitary confinement. Then came the story of David and Uriah. Orchard faltered and tried to hold back his tears, but lost in the strug gle. He burled his fnco in his hand, kerchief, but the questions went on mercilessly as before, and It was full three minutes before the answers were coming In the old sure tones. The defense tried to show that Me Pnrland had played a disreputable I part in the Molly McGulros prosecu jtion, and that he had promised Or J chard immunity. Orchard told of his j conversion, and that when in the pen itentiary he thought over bis past life. He testified today that ho wns a Mnson when he lived In Cunadn. At the afternoon session Orchard testified that he promised that if I 4M m J Stevo Adams was arrested and put In the same cell with him he would try to get him to make a confession. In the course of Mb testimony Orchard said: "It has always been the talk among Haywood, Moyer and others of the Western Federation that If nny one coughed up anything about the federation It wouldn't bo good for them. , . i YoKs-Kx'iinilimtlon Completed. The cross-examination of Orchard was completed at 2:30. He has been ln the stand nine days and under cross-examination for 28 hours. Rich ardson nnuouueed that he desired to later lay the foundation for impeach ment of his testimony. Richardson announced that ho bad betweon 160 and 200 witnesses to call for the defense, and said bis im peachment examination would not take up more than thirty minutes. Attorney Hawley asked that he be allowed to take up one question of the direct examination and said bo desired to postpone the redirect ex amination until the defense laid lta foundation for impeachment. Hawley took up thu planting of the bomb at Judge Godnrd's gate. The bomb itself was produced and Iden tified by Orchard. The defense de clined to cross-examine the witness on this subject ,and Orchard left the stand at 2:38. ELECTRIC CARS COLLIDE WITH FATAL RESULTS TiellliiKham, Wash., Juno 13.

Deputy Shorlff Hammond is up In tho Cnscade mountains, 70 or 75 miles away, after Sam Hnndsnker, a young man residing at Natron, who Is charged with being an accomplice of Harold Penrce, who is now ln the county jail, having confessed to the robbery of Uriah Gail at Natron on the night, of May 29. The Guard has been nware for sev eral days of the fact that Handsaker was wanted in connection with the robbery, but on request of Sheriff Fisk has heretofore kept It quiet so that there would be no possible chance of Handsaker getting informa tion that the deputy had started after him. Now that time enough hns ex pired for the deputy to reach his des tination in tho mountains where Handsaker is supposed to have gone after cattle, nnd it being probable that he hns started home with his prisoner by this time, there is no dan ger In printing the news. Immediately after the robbery oc curred these two young men were suspected of the crime from the fact that footprints wore traced from Onrl's house to the home of Hand saker. As Htaled ln the Guard yes terday, Pcarco was shadowed nnd fi nally tho man detailed to watch him secured n confession. His nrrest fol lowed and Deputy Sheriff Hammond was sent after Handsaker. Both young men nre about 22 years old nnd are well connected. Handsaker bolng a member of one of tho best known families In tho coun ty, and is married. SAL.ICM ri AYS IIKItF.
