(Continued on Page 8.) lor the two acres desired to be con demned $70C per acre, and consid ered the damage to the remaining part of the property nothing, but In stead a benefit. He stated that he had had an interview with Woolver ton in the late winter of 1910 and "Woolverton remonstrated with him because he was selling his lots too low. Woolverton said that there was something coming up In the locality which would greatly enhance the val ue of property, and that the only that that has happened Is the pro jected railroad. At the time of this Interview the Pacific & Eastern peo ple were about to survey or had just commenced surveying and Gerlg bad probably commenced his negotiations with Phlpps. 7. D. Heard stated that he has been In the valley six years and has bought and sold real estate here for the past three or four years, and that ho lias an Interest in Siskiyou Heights, tn the same locality as the land Bought to be condemned. He con siders $800 an acre for the upland (1.15 acres) a top price. He consid ers that this land would be availa ble, without the railroad at best, for residences of poor, cheap, laboring class. He would give not to exceed 4200 for the C5-100 of an acre in the creek bottom and considers this a Taney prtoe. H. G. Wortman testified that ho lias been in the valley for many years and that he would not give over f 500 per acre for the land In question, both upland and lowland. Ho con siders the tract west of the railroad would be benefited rather than dam aged by the same. His reasons wore that It would make warehouse prop erty, and aa such it would bo more valuable tbau it possibly could be for ny other purpose, and that the rail road will make it more marketable and enable them to get a higher price. W. C. Green states that ho Is In terested In the Imporlal addition cast of Bear creek on the south side of Main street and that ho Is familiar with the locality, and has been over tbo land in suit. Ho would not give ovor $500 per aero for the upland, although ho can conceive that prop er worked and with good luck 11000 an aero might be realized on It. Ho would not gIvo anything for the low land, Does not consider the lands east and west of tho railroad would bo damaged, rathe. benefited, Considers tbo-whole propcrt." at hrt a low class residence district. Ho also stated that .ho thought the lands ou both sides of the railroad Imme ditely contiguous to It would be made Into warehouse property. Mose Barkdull stated that ho was born and always lived In the valley. ' He has been in tne real estate busl- ness for nine years and has sold city lots in Porter's addition, Queen Anne , addition and the Imperlr.1 addition. J He believes that the property In ques tion would not do worm more man $200 a lot for the hlsh land and does not consider the low land of any value whatever. F. E. Merrick, a director of tho Medford National bank, etated that he has lived in the valley flvo years and that he owns town lots on the east side of the creek on the south side of Main street, and that he would give not to exceed $500 per acre for the upland and not over $100 for all of the creek bottom sought to be condemned. He stated further that ho considers that the advent of tbo railroad would Improve the strip between the rail road and Bear creek by bringing It into the market as warehouse.proper ty, which would make it much more valuable In any ovent than It would be for any other purpose. He be lieves that without the railroad this land would be used for farming or cheap residence district. Considers that the land east of the railroad, be ing the remainder of tho Pbipps tract, would be doubled or trebled in value by the advent of the railroad. Takes Into consideration the fact that the whole of this land is much lower than the Queen Anno or Porter additions or the land immediately across the creek on the West Side. Believes that the above mentioned additions, which have been platted for n year or more, being more desirable residence prop erty, must be disposed of before any market could be bad at any reason able figure for any of the Phlpps property. This Ib on the basis of no railroad. Ho believes that, with the railroad there, tho wholo of this prop erty would be moro quickly brought Into the market and could be dispos ed of at much higher prices. Ho stated in conclusion that If the land were his that he would donato the right of way and give a bonus of $1000, and consider that ho was be ing much benefited thereby. J. S. Howard, who has lived In the valley fifty years and who has bought and sold Medford and Rogue River valley property off and on for years, stated that he Is familiar with the land In question and considers the upland worth at tho rate of not to exceed $500 per acre, He would not give anything for the lowland without the railroad there. Ho con siders that tho land west of the rail road would bo benefited by being jnado warehouse property. Ho stated that he considers that tho land east of the railroad would also be benefit ed, and does not think that any of tho Phlpps addition is desirable residence property, too low. Tho railroad be ing there might bring It Into tho mar ket for sale as low class residence property. As It Is now, he would rather use the property as farm land and grow alfalfa on It, and that ho thinks that Is tho best ubo for It with out the railroad. Would have been jlnd to give the right of way freo if tho land had been his. William Angle stated ho would givo not to exceed $500 per aero for tho upland. Figures that It might be worth this price using It for cheap residence district. Thinks It Is too low and too near the creek to over become high-class residence property. He considers the damage of overflow quite serious. He stated that the bottom land, 65-100 of an acre, worthless. It is under water practically half tho rainy season. Ho himself, years ago, saw that whole pleco washed out in half a day, and thinks that it would be safer and moro secure from washout if tho railroad were there. Ho also thinks the railroad would mnko ware house property of It, which would be more valuable than It over could become as residence property or for any other use, and would not consid er it as desirable for cheap residences as the land actually sought to bo con demned by the railroad. He concluded that if he were In Phlpps' place he would gladly give the right of way and consider that ho was receiving substantial benefits. The railway was represented by Robert G. Smith, Attorneys Beckwith and Wlthington, and the defense by Gus Newbury, H. D. Norton and O. C. Boggs. WENDLING ARRESTED. (Com-'nued from papa 1) "From there I went to Vallejo, Cal. I worked at odd Jobs wherever I could find anything to do. I did not murder the little girl in Louisville." Wendllng Is Cool. After hours of questioning Wend llng, calm and cool, faced his In qulstors ut police headquarters, de nying any connection with the killing of Alma Kellner. Ho freely admitted that he was Joseph Wendllng and had been janitor of the St. John school In Louisville. Ho talked free ly of his arrest and his flight. The police traced Wendllng through correspondence with AHco Miller of Vallejo. Wendllng worked as a gardener In Vallejo In the employ of Charles Wldemann. Tho Wldomanns moved and Naval Constructor Saunders took the house. Wendllng was retained as gardener. Shortly after tho Saunders family occupied their homo a burglary was committed. Two oth ers followed. Chief Stanford of tho Vallejo pollco suspected Wendllng.

Ho communi cated with Captain Carney of Louis ville. Wendllng went to San Francisco and tho local pollco wore asked to Join the search . Wendllng fled from San Francisco, but returned and was located at a house In Third street Wendllng at first denied his Iden tity, and It was not until tho bullot wound and tattoo marks woro found that he confessed that ho was Wendllng, Wondllng says Lena Wendllng Is ' Madeline Arnold, the girl whom ho married desplto her parontB' objec tion In Franco.

Whether Loua Wendllng, with whom ho lived In Loulsvillo Is Mndollne Arnold, tho pollco have not been able to ascer tain. Wendllng Is said to bo well edu cated, speaking sovoral 'languages, and is from a wealthy family. Since It was discovered r.ftor the arrest of Mrs. Wendllng that tho for mer janitor bad fled, tho pollco have been constantly searching for him. Captain Carney of tho Loulsvillo force dropped his other work to fol low Wendllng. Fred Fohr, Alma Kellner's uncle, has devoted much of his time to tho search. Ho took an active part In tho quest for tho girl before her body was found. Ho, with tho Kellners, offered a reward of $6000 for the arrest of Wendllng. PARSON HEADS ASSOCIATION.
