Perry was em paneled Saturday and herded together by the bailiff Sunday. «Monday mor ning the (nal began J. W. Wbiteot Me<l- ford assisting Prosecuting Attorney Jef fries «nd Judge Caauford assisted by Will Merritt, acting for the defense The following citizens were selected as jurors: W. C. Wilson, N. D. Bristow, I Walter Jordan, R. M Robinson, T. S Uundv. J. H. Hickox. J. M. Mansfield Fre<! Miller, S. E Isbam, R W. Rog ers. M. E Stockbridge and W. B. York, j The case w ill lie an expensive one, ai large number of witnesses having been , suminonv«! from along the boundary | line (»etween Oregon and California. The evidence will be like that ot the Durrant case, entirely circumstantial, and nearly five months elapsed between the time of the niurdei and the arrest of the ac cused. The body of Chas. Perry was found in an old well at a deserted stage station known aa Bain’s an I Ibis spot is 75 ya rile across the line in Curry county and hall a mile north of the California boundary. The theory of the prosecution is tliat Melson and Perry were traveling togeth er in the wilderness near Bain’s station and that Melson shot Perry and dragged his Is^ly to the well where it was after wards found Melson sold Perry's watth for |4 to W. B. Eddings who took care ol stage horses not far from Bain’s station, Melson asserting that he had bought the watch for |25 in Portland. Melson after ward state«I that Perry had given him thtY watch a* a parting gift. The de fense maintained this latter statement in its rebuttal. During the trial which was well-atten dvd, Melson sat between his attorneys apparently indifferent to evidence or the clashing of prosecution and defense over points cl law. He is not adesj»eia’e- looking man, but one of rather dull com prehension, judging from his demeanor since his imprisonment. There was no break in the chain of strong circumstantial evidence which wouud about the accused, and in spite of Mr. Crawford’s able ami impassioned plea, the jury which went out at 10 P. M. returned a verdict of “guilty of murder in the first degree” al 1 A. M. Wednesday morning Judge Hanna being called up to receive it. Mr. Jeffries iu his conduct oi the case showed skill and force. Both his open ing and closing addresses for the prose cution exhibited a thorough knowledge of the matter in hand. Melson gave no outer sign of mental excitement when the verdict was made known. He held his hands up for depu ty Fallen to put oh the manacles, with out a tremor or a "Hmch. The verdict gives genera1 satisfaction to those who heard the evidence. The jurv on first ballot stood 10 to 2 the 2 being for the second degree. On second ballot it stood 11 to 1, and finally all jurors agreed. Judge 1 lamia will pass sentence Friday. Melson enticed Perry to the isolated $pot at B.tin’s station, using as a bait tlie tale that he, Melson, hud a placer mine which paid 25 to 50 cents lo the pan, and while both were in bed, shot I’erry through the body with a 41 cali ber Colt revolver and after tying stones to the murdered man’s feet threw the body into the old well. He told 4 different tales as to what had l»ecome of Perry, saying that he had gone in various directions A cartridge was found near the well exactly fitting Melson's pistol and the dent made in it by the hammer also fitted exactly, the [»oint of the hammer having been filed of! by someone and making a mark on the cartridge peculiarly its own.

Fiester, the wife murderer has “given himself away.” He has never been cra zy, but has been playing his keepers for lo these .many months, making them lift him around and teed him with a spoon like a baby. When his suns were in jail be was caught talking to the younger one, John, in a very rational manner and he has been keeping an ac count of the (light ol time with a pencil which he had hidden on the rafter of the jail corridor. When Deputy Fallen found him out he set the breakfast on the ta ble and told him to get up ami eat it or starve and the old man got up ami de voured it in short order. He say h he was advised to play crazy by one Connors, who spent a few months in jail with him. Experts said blester was crazy and wouldn’t live a month, but the old man is stout and hearty as ever he was. Thin shows the value of “expert testimony” in such cases. Fiester has been removed to steel cells where he will he more secure. One reas on the supreme court has not pushed his ease is that he was reported insane. He told Mr. Fallin yesterday “Well you hadn’t ought lo kick ; you've had a goal thing out of it.” Most of us would not consider the <lirty job any “good thing.” CALHOUN BROS. 200,000 TREES FOR SALE — CONSISTING OF — APPLE, PEAR, PEACH, PLUM, PRUNE, CHERRY, APRI COT, NECTARINE AL MOND, CHESTNUT, shadk and O rnamentai .
