When this report of tbe smellzer arson case closed yesterday, defendant Was defining bia mental condition soon after be was in Hurst's office, when he becran to lose consciousness.

Frank De Puo, the lawyer and notary at Bllverlou before whom confession was made at liifltanco of Bagley, recalled: Bagley dictated sec tions relating to policy; Smellzer dic tated balance; bo was laboring under considerable excitement. Q. What Is your opinion as to hid responsibility for his acts under that condition of mind? Objected to. Sustained, Numerous other questions were asked and objec tions sustained. Attorney Cook of Silverten: Did Bagley ask you to watch Bmeltzer whllo ho went to watercloset? Ob jected to. Sustained. Hicks In re buttal: Day ho met defendant was a lino one; were heayy fogs in moun tains; might have been that morning. Bagley recalled: Never said that any man would for (200 swear he saw Smeltzer burn the barn. Three hours were limit for argument, Mr. McCain waiving the openiug and allowing de fense two hours. The caso then pro ceeded to argument at 8 o'clock. Wm. Holmes opened tho case for the defence with a speech of an iiour. Ho was followed by District Attornoy Mc Cain, and Judge Bouham closed. The jury was out a few minutes and re turned on a verdtot of not guilty. It was a very tlokllsh cise.'uud Bouham k Holmes received many compliments for skilful management of the same. Tho confession was a foolish thing fur any man to make, but lie wus un doubtedly wrought upou when In a weak stato of mind, by tho detectives, or tho insurance company.

In order to start the good work, I would suggest, thut the school districts located along the lino of the mail route leading from Argenty to Sulem, meet early enough lu the duy appointed for their school meeting (Mirch 5th) to al low time for the discussion of making a good road. A proposition will be sent to each district, asking them to contribute money or work to a company or person that will enter into a contract to make one mile of good gravelled road begin ning at a point iu the above named road, know as the Garden Road, where tbe electric cars cross on their way to the fair grounds, thence east half a mile, the other half mile to be made to cover the worst places where the road crosses the swales terminating at R. L. Swartz. If a mile of good road bo made os suggested It will be a great benefit to a large community. Waiiken Cranston. Mr. Cranston is vice president of tbe county road convention and his sug gestion should be acted upon. IN BOUTJI SALEM. As tbo people of South Salem have determined that they will not incorpor ate by themselves, und will not unite with tbo, city, (In fact that is the last thing they would do), and us the main road to the cemetery is nothing short of a dangerous quagmire, there should be some movement made to get It Im proved. For a mile aud a half thh main county thoroughfare runs be tween residences iiud there Is probablj not such a street iu Oregon that runs through such a thickly settled and widely Improved part of u city for such a distance und is in uuch a condi tion. The condition of illyli street ana Liberty street thut parallel south Com mercial is nearly us bad. It is so bad that all kinds of vehicle are now run on tbo grass bermeon each side aud cut ting that all up. Teams with wood are also cutting ucross the school house square and spoiling it, us well us other squares. As tho abutting property can not be taxed unless it Is incorporated, tho abutting property should not be called upou to build this street or streets. The Journal hopes some way can be found to Improve that road. There should bo some action, we do not know Just what. Wo are heart and soul for a change in that road. It is a disgrace to the community and should be one of the first county rouds to bv repaired und made a creditable boule vard. Who will come forward with u suggestion. Great Shoe Bale.
