Defense Springs Surprise in
Convict's Trial By Asking
for Acquittal on Grounds of
Mistreatment and Persecu
tion Claim Break Justified
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 8. In keeping
with the surprises and thrills which
have marked his entire career of
crime the defense of Tom Murray, al
leged leader of the three convicts who
shot their way out of the Oregon pris
on August 12, killing two guards, did
the unexpected again in outlining
their case yesterday afternoon.
j Instead of banlng his case upon ex
tenuating circumstances and seeking
a verdict leas severe than first de
gree murder, as had been intimated
' in his opening statements and gener
ally anticipated, Will R. King, chief
counsel for the defense, told the jury
that he expected to present evidence
substantiating an acquittal on the
ground that Murray was so mistreated
and persecuted during his confine
ment in the prison as to place his life
in jeopadry, and to justify him In
seeking to escape even at the cost of
taking human life to secure his lib
erty. In describing to the jury the various
degrees of murder and the verdicts
they were authorized by law to find,
the defense attorney explained that
there were extenuating circumstances
which, if not justifying ncquittal
would amply support a finding of
guilty of second degree murder or
manslaughter.
State's Case Presented
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 8. Wlth the
foundation laid for its case and the
death of John Sweeny, guard at the
penitentiary, at the hands of mur
derers established, the testimony of
doctors who examined his body after
death and by the county coroner, the
state today commenced to weave the
web of evidence by which It hopes to
pin the murder upon him around
Tom Murray, nlleged leader of the
three convicts who shot their way out
of the prison on the evening of Aug
ust 12 when Sweeny was killed.
Yesterday the state in its statement
of the case nlleged that It would
prove that Murray had In his posses
sion at the lime of the break and up
until he was captured at Centralia a
S 0 caliber revolver taken from the
arsenal of the prison and that this
wns the only gun of this caliber taken
by the convicts stolen from the
arsenal. The bullet extracted from
Sweeny's head following his death, a
32-20 caliber shot, was also Intro
duced. This morning the state Introduced
over the protest of the defense X-ray
photographs of the bullet before it
was extracted from Sweeny's head,
and plnced on the stand, Dr. Q. B.

fied the markings on the bullet

Christy Mathewson Passes
Away Suddenly at Saranac

Death Laid to Gassing in
France World Series Stars
Pay Tribute.
SARANAC LAKE, N. V., Oct. 8.
(A. P.) Christy Mathewson, one of
the greatest pitchers of all time, is
dead in his mountain camp.
A hero of the World war as well
as of the diamond on which he was
the first big college star, he died late
last night of tuberculosis and pneu
monia, the result of being gassed
while a captain1 in the chemical war
fare service in France. The end came
while his buddies in the American
Legion were holding their annual
convention In Omaha and while Wal
ter Johnson, his greatest contempor
ary, was being hailed as the hero in
a world's series, such as Mathewson
had been in the past.
"Big Six," as he was known be
cause of his stature, battled Inter
Christy Mathewson
mittently with tuberculosis for six
years. He went to France in 1918
after three years as manager of the
Cincinnati Reds. Returning as coach
of the New York. Giants, with whom
he had played for seventeen seasons,
he was taken seriously ill in 120 and
retired to Sarnnac Lake.
Knd Is Vnexieete1
The battle for health apparently
won In 11)23, he became president und
part owner of the Boston Braves. He
caught cold on the spring training
trip of the Braves and was forced to
return to his camp. Less than n
month ago his physician reported
that he was holding his own. The
end came rapidly and unexpectedly.
His wife, who had nursed him dur
ing the years of his illness, wuh at his
bedside. The only child, Christy
Mathewson, Jr., Is at college.
Funeral services will be held at
Lewlstnwn, Pa., Sntutdny. His body
will he taken from Saranac Lake to
night. llw Matty's zeal for his country's
aid led to the illness that ended his
career prematurely at 45 is explained
by Mrs. Mathewson. i
"Me had Influenza In France," she
sntfl. "Besides, as assistant gas offi
cer to the 28th dlvlxlon he demon
strated lethal gas shells and Inhaled
much of the gas. When he came back
the first severe cold he developed
settled Into a cough he could not
shake off." , .

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 8. (A. P.)
Testimony In the inter-state com
merce commission hearing here on
railroad development switched from
Oregon to California today as Direc
tor Charles Mahnffie took up the
application of the Southern Pacific
for extentiions in northern California
after the Hill roads completed their
case in behalf of their proposed ex-
iciiNiun iruin Dana 10 jviamain f ans.
The Southern Pacific's case was be
gun after Director Mahaffle refused
the request of that railroad that the
Oregon public service commission
should put in Its testimony before
the Southern Pacific produced its
witnesses.
J, 1 Shaughnessy of Carson City,

from Klamath Falls to Alturas, Cal.

Robert JS..ttlruhorn, builder of the
Oregon-California and Eastern rail
road In the southern part of Oregon,
spoke In support of extending his
lines from Spraguo river to Silver
hike and also to Lukevlew, Bonanza
and Williamson river. He told of his
struggles to finance this undertaking.
"1 was attending a big railroad
mass meeting at Bend In 19-15, when
a delegation of leading citizens from
Klamath Falls came and asked me to
go down there and study their trans
portation needs," said Strahorn. "I
went to Klamath Falls, made a care
ful survey of the situation and
planned a line from there to Bend
and to Lakevlew. From the moment
It was found the Klamath Project
might be a success the lumbermen of
Bend began to oppose It.
"Mr. Shevlln, of the great 8hevltn
Hlxon company repeatedly told me
personally that they could not stand
for the southern extension of the rail
road," said Mr. Strahorn.
Bend Threatened , .
"Friends who were In business at
Bend at the time were threatened
that If they continued to favor
building a railroad south they would
suffer."
He said that about this time the
chambers of commerce of the state
took a vote on the desirability of
building his proposed Klamath Falls-Bend-Lukeview
railroad und every
chamber of commerce In Oregon fa
vored it but Bend.
The story of Klamath Falls' co
operation was told. A $300,000 bond
lNsue was voted and given him, right
of way to Sprugue river was promised
as well as a terminal site In Klamath
Kails and certain needed municipal
franchises.
"Only one half of the right of way
was furnished and the same amount
of the terminal site given," Strahorn
said, "and some of the franchises are
lacking. I am not complaining about
Klamath Falls because the people
there attempted to do more than they
could, but It made me shoulder more
troubles. Rather than let the entire
project fall, and the people lose their
$300,000 bond issue, 1 had to carry
on. 1 then strained my credit to the ,
very utmost nnd virtually mortgaged
my home in Spokane to take the road
up the Sprague river."
He declared that before he started
his new work, he consulted With the
