NOT GUILTY OF KILLING JAS.FOSS
So Derides Jury Amid the Acclamations
of Ills Friends Ities A pain
at Home.
It took the jury ouly au hour to
oome to a deoisiou iu the oase of
Frank Riea, and when it came into
the court room aud the foreman of
this body stepped forward and an
nounced a verdict of "not guilty" the
spectators broke into applause aud
crowded forward to shake the band of
the niau who had been on triul for
his life.
The evidence tu the oiiso, apart from
that of Perkins, which was contradic
tory and insufficient, iu no way tend
ed to implicate Keis.
The trial waa watched with mucn
interest by tbe residents of this sec
tion aud many of tbe witnesses who
had been summoned to The J 'alios to
appear iu tbe case waited to bear the
words prououueed wblcli made Kies a
free niau.
The plea of Messrs. W. II. Wilson of
The Dalles aud A. A. Jayue of this
city for tbe accuse I's life was a strong
one aud left no room for doubt lu the
miud of the jurors. Tbe chug went to
the jury at 3:.'10 an shortly before 5
o'clock it rendered its verdict.
Ries oauie to this city on tbe b"at
Saturday aud was the recipient of
much congratulation liy nis many
friends bete. His mother and bis
brother accompauied him aud they all
left for their home in the Mount Hood
settlement iu tbe afternoon. Much
sympathy is expressod for the family
as it has oost them about ail they pos
sess In defense of this unfortunate
member of their family.
The testimony as given in the case
is as follows:
At the opening of the Circuit court
Wednesday morning, Frank Kies was
brought to trial charged with the
murder of Jailing Foss, whose charred
remains were found May VI, 1U05, in

ly oocupied by tbe selection of a jury,
the requisite uumber being secured
shortly before noon, as follows:
W. II. MoAtee, Joseph Means, C.
S. Magee, S. A. Kisiner.W. II. 8harp,
W. H. (Jlurk, K. N. lleuson, George

A. U. Oillis and W. II. 11. Dufur.
Tbe statements of opposing counsel
were heard upon reconvening at 2 p.
in., the brevity of each making it pos
sible for the taking of testimony to
commence during the afternoou. Up
to adjournment 11 witnesses had been
examined by tbe state, wltrr less than
half dozen to follow.
The court room was tilled with spec
tators awaiting Judge Kradshaw'a
appearance at the opeuiug of the trial.
liotb the accused ami tne muruerea
man are farmers who had resided a
uumber of years in the Mount Hood
settlement. They were neighbors,
both bachelors, each living alone in
his cabin near the Mount Hood road,
and each living tbe more or lues iso
lated life of ranchers iu that sparsely
settled section, lioth were well re
garded in tbe community.
The defendant was brought into
oourt by Sherilf Soxtou aud given a
seat near his counsel, W. II. Wilson,
of this city, and A. A. Jayne, of Hood
River. At the other end of tbe table
as Distriot Attorney Frank Menefee
and his assistant, Fred W. Wilson.
Ail attention was given to the defend
ant as be made bis way through the
court room with his guards. His
manner was composed and tbe rest
less roving of his eyes alone evidenced
any nervousness Uiut he tuny haveielt.
During the selet Lion of the jury the
prisoner watched tbe movement of his
counsel and the jurymen as they
were oaLhd and examined them with
eareful attention. Otherwise, his de
meanor was calm aud uurultled.
In tbe oboice of jurymen, 18 names
were drawn from the box. Six of
these were peremptorially challenged,
two by the state aud four by counsel
for the defendant. No juror was ex
cused for cause. Katber singularly,
the jurybox contained but the 18
names drawn, no special venire being
necessary. The jury, without excep
tion, is oom posed of farmers, no oue
of whom has ever bad personal ac
quaintance with the defendant.

witness of the afternoou was l. IN.
Knight, a faun r living a half mile
from the Ft" cabin, lie testilied
that on the uight of May 11, Fosb
came to bis place, between 0 aud 7
o'clock, and lulmved in a very strange
and threatening manner; that be was
armed with u club, and became so
violent in bis talk aud abuse that
Knight sent bis wife and children in
doors, aud tiu.Uly, fearing a personal
attack froml os,be went to the house
and secured bis gun and ordered
Foss to go away at once. This hi did,
spying that K ight bad been spared
only on account of bis little girl,
Lena, aud that be (ross) was only
living for revenge upon his enemies
anyway.
This incident took place ouly about
three bours o tore Foss is alledged to
have been killed. The witness also
testified that about one hour and a
half afteward Riea came to bis place
and reported a similar attack now
Foss. recount, in if the same violence
aud threats that had been used toward
Knigbt. Tbe two men talked the
matter over aud expressed the com-
mou opinion of both tbat the time
had come when Foss must leave the
community or violence would be
done.
Tbe witness testified that at tbl
time Ries remarked tbat be had a
mind to get bis gun and make Foes
retract what he had said or shoot him.
Shoitly afterwards Kies left tbe
Knight place. It was also brought
out in the testimony that Foss had
been examined for bis sanity more
than once, and that tlio first time, be
waa allowed to return home upon tbe
promise of Knigbt to watch over him
and report to tbe authorities should
he show any signs of mental disorder.
A the 0 o'clock adjournment Knight
wag still on tbe stand. It wag appar
ent in tbe courtroom tbat tbe dofeutl
aut had many warm frionda in attend
ance ou the trial who were watching
with aolioltude the testimony.
Thursday mornintr when tbe case
opened aud 70 witnesses appeared,

of his witnessea with dispatch and the
orosa examination given them by the
defense was brief. Notwithstanding
this expedition few were prepared to
hear tbe prosecuting attorney's an
nouncement that the state would rest
its case.
Fifteen witnesses in all, most of them
neighbors of Foss and Reis, bad given
their testimony and accounted for
their whereabouts and movements on
the night when Fobs lost his life.
Among these tbe stories of J. N.
Kniaht and Ueorge Perkins stood forth
aa chief evidence upon which the state
built its case.
Ueorge Perklus is the sole person
who claims absolute know ledge that
Kiet committed tbe atrocious deed
for which he is being tried, and alleg
es that knowledge came to him from
the lips of tbe accused man. He tes
tified that on tbe night of the murder
he and his wife bad retired, when
several ritle shota were beard, tbe
sound coming from bis neighbor Foss'
premises. A hired farmhaud iu the
adjoining room also heard the shots.
Perkins said he then arose, dressed
and proceeded to the Foss cabin, uear
the door of which he met Ries, com
ing out with a gun in hia hand. Keis
told him be bad killed Foss, but that
Perkins was to say nothing about it,
and after some threatening talk from
Reis, Perkins says be returned to his
borne aud speut the night in ranch fear
of the consequences to himself and
Ries.
This Is substantially tbe story told
by Perkins at the Coroner's inquest
at tbe time of the murder. Cross-ex-amiutlou
failed to shake his testi
mony materially.
Forty two witnesses were heard for
the defendant, 15 of whom were re
called, making a total of f7 called to
the stand in behalf of Ries. About
30 of these witnesses testillel as to the
good reputation of tbe defendant and
pronouuoed him a quiet, peaceable
and law abiding citizen. Many of
these witnesses wore prominent resi
dent of Hood River. Stweral wit
nessos were called who testilied that
Fobs bad become a violent and turbu
lent resident of tbe valley aud tbat he
had oome to be looked upon as a dan
gerotiB factor in tbe commnlty. They
testified tbat he had been known to
threaten the lives of neighbors and
persons with whom be had picked
Quarrels in many Instances.
Several of his neighbors testified
that Kies was known to have no gun
and tbat no member of the Ries fam
ily waa possessed of any firearms.
This testimony was corroborated by
Mrs. Ries, tbe mother of the defend
aut, and ber three sons.
Mre. Mary Riggs, a widow, residing
near Fobs' claim, waa called to the
stand, and testilied tbat on the after
noon of May 11, Foss oame to her
bouse, alarming her very much by bis
violent and apparent auger against
her. He was aimed with a club, and
after abusing her and her neighbors
to some extent, told ber tbat if she
did not promise to marry him at once
be sb uld kill Her. blie Dually luduced
him to go away, after which she never
saw him again.
Mrs. Riggs also testified that that
evening about 9 o'clock Frank Ries
came to her place with a seeder wbioh
he had brought from J. N. Knight's
place, aud told ber of meeting Fuss
on tbe road near Knight's house, and
of his wild aud abusive talk. Reis
did not borrow ber gun, as be had
tieen aocused of doing, said Mrs
Riggs. Tbe weapon had remained in
a closet unused for many months until
Called for by the county officers, at
the iuauest. She bad placed the seed-
et brought by Ries that night in the
same closet, and that the two articles
covered wiht dust remained there un
disturbed until taken out together by
the Sheriff at the time of Kies' arrest.
In this connection. Robert Leasure,
of Mount Hood testified concerning
the only ammunition furnished by
himself which Mrs. Kiggs had evei
bad for ber gun. consisting of ten
shells, five of which are still iu ber
possession, the remaining five being
accounted for. These shells were the
same size as those found in the ruins
of the Foss cabin.
Frank Ries took the stand and said
in his own behalf that on tbe evening
of the murder, he testified that he
bad worked ou bis farm 1 11 that day
and at 6 o'clock bad his supper, after

ENVIOUS APPLE
BUYERS KNOCK
THEY DID NOT BID HIGH ENOUGH
Wanted Hood River Fruit, and lie
cause They Didn't Get It Try
"Sour Grapes" Racket
The following editorial appears in
the current issue of the Fruit man's
Uuide, published in New York oity:
Kue & Hat Mold are certainly mak
ing hay while the sun shines with tbeir
Oregon apple deal. Car after car is
coming into them from the Hood
U ver section and is being disposed
of to tboso who make a specialty of
the fancy fruit trade at prices that,
to say the least, are fancy too.
lucre has been a good doal of ma
licious knocking of the Oregon fruit,
partaking of the uature of the critl-
oism of the fox who remarked : "These
grapes are spelt with au I. Asa
matter of fact, tbe Oregon apple that
Rue & Hatfield have been receiving
have proved to lie as beautiful speci
mens as a man would wish to see iu a
day's walk. The prices paid for them
have shown conclusively that the
quality and pack have Leeu all tbat
oould be desired."
Inquiry at ti e oilice ot the Fruit
Growers' Union in regard to the
above artie'e developed the faot tbat
several New York firms that have
failed to bid high enough to get any
of the Hood River product have beeu
misrepresenting the quality of the ap
ples giowu here and this fact having
oome to the atteution of the paper al
ready mentioned by a letter published
by the directors of the Fruit Urowers
Union repudiating the statements of
those disgruntled firms, it has pub
lished the facts of the case.
In speakiug of this matter. Mana
ger Shepnrd said : "The faot is that
never iu the history of tbe frultbusl
ness in Hood River has such a flue
pack of nppleB loft this oountry as
this year. We have paid particular
atteution to this matter and bava
made it a point to grade the alzes so
that apples of oue size only get In a
box. In addition to thia we have
made a rigid standard of quality and
variety. So much 1b thia the case that
when our label appears on the outside
of a box no dealer questions tbe
linility of the fruit inside. 1 do not
hesitate to say that three car
loads of apples which were shipped
from hoie by the Fruit Urowers Un
i. n were nrnbnblv the finest that ever
entered New York oity. Tbe rest of
the shipment has also been of the
highest standard and any attempt to
injure the the reputation of the Hood
River fruit can easily be frustrated by
exhibiting it to the buyer."
llie ahipplug season lor apples la
gradually drawing to a close and indi
cations are tbat there will be between
&), (XX) and 70, (XX) boxes shipped from
this point this season.
Reports from eastern sources are to
the effect that the supply of apples so
far is moderate and tbe demand ac
tive, especially for the fancy stock
from Oregon, with prioea ruliug high.
Oregon Kpitzenburgs are quoted in
New York at tl.M per box, which la
50 cents iu advance of any other prioe
given, and Newtowns at C3.&0. Chi
cago dealers are complaining because
they are unable to get any of the Hood
River product which is the most con
vincing evidence iu the world that
there is always a good demand for the
best.
NO APPLES FOR
THE CIDER MILL
In the bygone days when you were
young and therefore happy did you
ever go out to the barn, select a long
straw and inserting It through the
bunghole of tbe cider barrel suck ci
der until you thought you would ex
plode? If you didn't you don't know
anything about the joys of childhood.
The (juicier man had a drink ot ol
der the other day very good oldor it
was too at the Hood River Older Mill
ot M. L. Kmry & Uou, and while do
ing so elicited the information tbat
this new industry iu our city is likely
to close down on accouut of the short
age of apples.
Tbe mill has a capaoity or about iu
barrels of elder a day, but ao far the
I total output lias only beeu 45 barrels.
I 'l'l... 1 k,. . il.ni.nil
There has been such a good demand
for Hood River apples of all descrip
tions this year tbat it has not paid
fruit ranchers to haul thoir product
to the cider mill.
Mr. Kmry and bin son have put 13,-
000 into this enterprise and the ma
chinery is up-to-date in every partic
ular. The apples are emptied into
large trough where they are washed
clean of the spray used while the fruit
is growing. Au endless belt then
takes them up to the grinder from
which they drop down into receiving
boards and are placed under the hy
draulic press. What this press does
to these ground up apples is quite
sufficient, for when they emerge they
are dryer than the city of Hood River
and a canary bird would not De a Die
to wot his whistle on them. As the
cider oomos from the press it runs off
into barrels aud is ready for consump
tion. The mill and apparatus oost
ttiOO.
It is the intention to make vinegar
of the cider made by this Unit as it
brings a better price and the demand
for cider is not very strong. Ihey
will also make some apple butter, for
which there is a good demand at a
profitable prion, as most of this com
modity consumed iu the western ooun
try is shipped iu from Ohio and In
diana. I.acli of armies this year baa not
discouraged Mr. Emry, however, and
be says that iu a year or two De ex
pects to have enough fruit during the
apple season to keep the mill going
full blast.
