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

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

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.

It was then that Stanford discov
ered what he thought was a strik
ing resemblance between tho garden
er and the description sent out by
tho LouIbvIUo police. 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. Ho said his brothor-In-lnw
followed him to Amorlca and
In December and appeared in Louis
ville. Aftor a number of fights with
Arnold he fled to Now Orleans.
Is Well Educated.
Wendllng Is about 27 yenrs of
tage. Ho was born In Franco and
served In tho French army, In whlcn
ho Is said to hare held n commission.
, After leaving tho army ho went to
Alsace, whero ho Is said to have
worked p.b a laborer. 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

his time to tho search. Ho took an
active part In tho quest for tho girl
