The chnrire wns tho outgrowth of a scene in Worthinirton's room in the Nnsh lintel Inst Friday nicht. The accused did not strike Mr. Mitchell, hut ore- vented Iimii from tiKine the phone. There has been n business dispute between the two men for a iona time. Mitchell claims that Worthineton owes him 200 for ninkim fish sereons last slimmer nnd that he asked nun repciitedlv cither for a settlement or . to hand him over the papers showing who still owed Worthimrton for the screens. The two met on tho street Fridav hiulit and Mitchell asked Wortliimr ton to show the papers. Worthinaton said he would do so if Mitchell would come up to the room. As thev enter ed the room Mitchell elnuns Worth ineton locked tho door savinc some thing like "Now this screen business will bo settled." and fearififf that Worthimrton. who is a lunch' vouncer man, intended to assault him. he rush ed over the phono to summon .lames . Bell, landlord of the hotel. Mitchell' further claims that Worthimrton tried to push him nwav from the phone but that he mannsred for a time to 'linn? on nnd keep the receiver down. - Later Mitchell claimed he reached , the phone aaain. Mr. Bell nnswerinsr. lie asked him to lmrrv no to the room; and savs; that Worthinsrto;! hearing this unlocked the door and let liiin out On his wav down stairs ha met Bell coming up and hurriedly told him of the trouble. t - Bell's testimony corroborated in that he- stated that there was pro longed ringing- of the room phone in the hotel office, which finnllv stopped. Then a short time later the' phone rang agnin two short taps, and that when he answered Mitchell asked him to come up.' .On 'his wav up he met Mitchell coming down. .: Worthington on the stand denied Mitchell's story of whnt occurred in the room and testified that he did not force him from 4he phone, lie ad mitted, however, that he had locked the door, i' . " Asked bv one of the inrors whv he lind locked the door Worthington re plied: "So as to be sure that the best man would leave the room." This re ply, members of the iurv sav. cinched the case in their minds, and influenc- ed greatly their reaching the verdict of guilty. : - ; - - - Vred Farm, 211 years old, of Central Point, son of Mr. and Mrs. K. K, Far ra, who has been serving in the Tin ted Stales liavv the past 18 months, and with his ship has visited France nnd .other parts of Europe in the past six months, took part in the sinking of a German U-boat. A recent issue of the Xew York Times describes the exploit as follows: . The presentation to the destrover Stringham vestenlav bv the Hrostlinn government of a giant loving cup nnd a silken American flag, the latter tho work of a croup of Brazilian girls, disclosed for the first time the fact that in August. 191S. the Stringhnm destroyed a Herman IMioet which for two hours prior to the niiearaiice of the Stringhnm had beeu shelling the Brazilian liner I'beraba. Tho Uber- aba had on hoard n large number of passengers, nmoiig them 112 Amer ican bluejackets, en route to Brnxil to ioin the American fleet in South At lantic waters. .'.'. The St rim-ham immediately bead ed for the submarine, which succeeded in submerging iust before tho de- trover overhauled her. The Strmg- hnm dropped 17 depth honilis. nnd a few minutes Inter the sea thereabout was covered with a great patch of oil and much debris. There was no doubt as to the fate of the U-boat. : The Stringhnm which is one of the new' destroyers, on August 8, last, was one of the vessels convoviw n fleet of troop ships to Europe. When off Ilatteras the destroyer received a wireless call for help. The call was in Portuguese, and, after much trou ble, the destrover managed to get the position of the steamer, and. detach ing herself from tho convoy steamed full speed to the scene of the trouble. When the Stringhnm got within sig naling distance of- the I'beraba. the captain of the ship signaled that a small craft, with a sail some miles away was a German submarine, which for more than two hours had been shelling his shin. . - . j Yesterday the Brazilian government officially thanked the officers bt"1 loving cup was the gift of the govern ment and was presented bv Mr. Pier hiero. the consul general of Brazil at this port. The silk American flag, made bv the girls of Brazil, was pre sented bv Captain Morara of the Bra zilian navy. RESIGNS OFFICE TO ENTER PRIME LIFE Harold McDonald as the famed speed. cop of Medford Is but a mem- ory, a bitter one to many, and Is no longer a deputy sheriff of Jackson county, having resigned the office the latter part of last, week and left for Portland to locate permanently In that city and follow some other oc- : cupatlon. His resignation was the direct out come of his shooting , and ., badly wounding Harrison RIggs, the fore man Of the Frink orchard, a week ago" last Monday night. It was gen erally recognized after this sensation al episode that In view of the state of public opinion McDonald s usefulness as an officer In Jackson county was at an end. . It was also feared that after the shooting attempts by Mc Donald to make arrests for speeding, bootlegging or other offenses would meet with resistance and might be fraught with tragic results. ' It Is known that this was the view of -County Prosecutor Roberts, the county court and Sheriff Terrlll, and that If McDonald did not resign his resignation would be forced. Mc Donald's relatives also strongly coun seled the young man to resign and give up the police business altogeth er. McDonald was for a time obdur . ate in his Intention to remain on the Job, as he declared that he feared no one and disliked to be put in the atti tude of running away. " But he returned the middle of last week from Trail wherq he had been visiting his parents, and after a con ference with the couhty authorities finally banded in his resignation and departed for Portland.. He had not been oh duty since the night Rlggs was. shot. : . " ' ,' .. NE WYORIv. SInrch 25. With 140,1?
