YREKA, Calif., Sept. 25.
When a woman bared
her heart on the witness
stand to save a man from
the noose and when friends
of the man came to tell of
his honorable conduct in
years gone by, a jury yester
day acquitted George D.
Howard of the murder of
Walter F. Vaughn at Duns
muir in June.
The outstanding feature
of the trial, which began in
the court of Superior Judge
Charles J. Luttrell, Monday,
was the testimony of Mrs.
May Austin, whose marri
age to a Dunsmuir man a
month before the killing of
Vaughn, came as a surprise
in the trial as she was sup
posed to have been Mrs.
Howard until she took the
witness stand.

Liquor Violations Re
vealed Today
Qraphle lesllmony that scores of
Klamuth residents have come to re
gard exlHtenco as one grand succes
sion of alCQwtlc ilnys was revealed
this morning from records at the
sheriff's office..
It was disclosed thai never before
in the history of the country
and. it
Is believed, In southern Oregon, has
the nine-month record of Klamath
county since January 1 Men ex
ceeded. On- hundred and fifty-five men
and women have sojourned in the
ounty pall since the first of the year
barged with violating one of the
disturbing array of prohibition "thou
shall nols."
Fifty-seven of Ibis number were
released from the county pail with
out paylng jlnes or taking Jail sen
tences for ono of the following rea
sons: 1. They wore not guilty.
2. Not sufficient evidence was se
cured to warrant prosecution.
3. They were tried and found not
guilty by jury.
Total fines assessed by Justico of
I he Peace It. B). Hunsaker and Act
ing Justice of the Peace Ed Kendall
aggregate 112,805 since January 1.
A large portion of this money was
not paid and the prisoners were
forced to serve out
a day in jail.
All told, liquor violators were fined
a total of 2303 days. The longest
jnll sentence was 250 days on a li
quor possession charge.
By far the most common liquor
charge In the imposing array of ar
rests and convictions since the first
of the year, is possession of intoxi
cating liquor.
Compared with Inst year's record
tne recoru ol arrests ana convictions
is especially noteworthy.
The scores of mere drunks that i
pour into police court every Monday
morning and In scattered hunches
throughout the week, are not con
sidered in the figures quoted above.
