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

Mr. Crawford’s able ami impassioned
plea, the jury which went out at 10 P. M.

Mr. Jeffries iu his conduct oi the case
showed skill and force. Both his open

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

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

Supt. Weston has struck w hat he has
been tunneling after for the last two
years on the Summit Gold Mine ledge,
at the head of Aldiouse. At a depth of
435 feet the picks opened a rich ledge of
quartz on the 23d of last month and the
miners are into it now eight feet but
there is no sign of getting through. This
means a chlorination plant in the All-
liuuse country, which will be a good
thing for Koutliern Oregon. Mr. Weston
has pursued this prospect with great pa
tience and perseverance, in spite of ad
verse criticism and unfriendly comment,

he deserves. This mine is almost under

Fleater Wasn't Crazy.
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.”
