SECURNG
OF
PANOS
JURY
SLOW
WORK
Veniremen Have Mostly Read of the
Case and Many Have Devlded
Opinions Capital Punishment It
Feature of Examination.
Spanos Will Deny His Confession but
State Will Make Fight for Its Admission.
Owing to tho importance of tho
ense considerable difficulty is being
experienced in the circuit court in
securing n jury to try the enso of tha
state vk. Miko Spanos. The trial
jury panel wns exhausted this mor
ning with only three men having a
ehnnco of retaining their scats. Sher
iff Jones wns instmcted lo summon
a now panel. At noon today the
state hnd used .1 of its hit peremp
tory challenges and the defense four
of its twelve.
The chief difficulty encountered
seems to be the wide knowledge of
the case gained through tho news
papers and an opposition to nn in
fliction of capitnl punishment. Tho
recent campaign seems to be respon
sible for a greater understanding of
this problem.
The enso against Spnnos was call
ed in tho circtjit court Monday nt
noon niul since then tho entire time
haH been devoted to securing n jury.
It may bo that it' complete jury will
not bo obtained until Kridny, which
by tho way Is hangman's day in Ore
gon. From questions hurled nt (he
veniremen by attorneys for tho de
fense it is very evident that SpnnoH
will repudiate his confession in court
claiming that it was obtained under
duress. Tho stato is prepared to off
set this, summoning many witnesses
to cover this point.
Miko Spanos, when he enmo into
court, nppearcd moro worn than nt
any time previous. lie suited very
infrequently and at all times mani
fested great interest in (lie proceed
ings in court. His wifo sat as near
him as Kssib!e mid took great in

TO CONTROL ESPEE
POKTI.AND, Dec. 12. It is re
ported mi good authority hero that
James J. Hill, of tho Northern l'a
oifio und Great Northern railroads,
is buying heavily into Southern Pa
cific stock in an effort to gain con
trol of that road. Hill, nt present,
has to get hold of but few mote
bhares to gain possession, it is stat
ed. .
The faet (lint Southern Patfific
common continued to uvernge 108
and closed today at 100, despite tho
break in (ho othor Ilarrimmi stocks,
on account of merger decisions prac
tically confirms HilPs activity,
Tlio amount of stock held by Hill
cannot bo approximated but it is
enough to Imvo caused Kuhn, Loch
and company to fight for control of
the company for ita Ilnrrimau clients.
Tho drop of 4 1-4 points in Union
Pncifio today, eou&ing Morgan to
bolster this stock to normal, also
indicates that Hill is playing S. P.
stock against tlio other roads.
