L09 Angolos, Cal., Nov. 4. Disrict
Attorney John D. Fredericks virtually
admitted today that Ortie E. McMani
gal, self-confessed dynamiter, has boon
liborated for good and is now fleeing
to some hiding place, where he will be
saf from the enemies he bolieves are
following him.
McManigal left the county jail late
yestordoy with Dotective Malcolm Mc
Laren, Later McLaren reappeared
alone. The authorities were all very re
ticent, and would not give out any
thing definite regarding McManigal, as
they say they want to "five him a run
ning start."
Indictments Dismissed.
It will not be nocossary for McMani
gal to be in court when the dynamite
indictments against him are dismissed.
Fredericks was evasive when first
questioned today and when asked di
rectly when McManigal would be back
in jail, if he was to come back, said:
"In a few days or a fow weeks."
A second later he was asked point
blank: "Will McManigal be backl"
Fredericks replied: "We may change
our minds. I am not making any pro
dictions." 1
Unwilling to Talk.
The district aitornoy denied that he
know whore McManigal is at present,
and when pressed, said: "What's the
uso of talking about itt He is far out
of the country, and it would not be hu
mane and just to tell where he is."
"Is a detective with McManigaM"
-was the next question.
Fredericks said: "There was," but
whon askod if it was one of his own
detectives, he said: "Stop the pump."

FLEEING TO

Shows What Can be
Done in Short Time
in Fruit
Monday afternoon L. H. Roberts,
president and manager of the Sunset
Fruit company, invited s Capital Jour
nal representative to take a rido out
to the company's big fruit ranch, and
see what It had been doing in the way j
na its holdimrs. The Journal
man was open for rides, and, in com-j
pany with Secretary Bynon, of the Sa
lem Commercial club; Mr. Quinn, man
ager of the fruit canning company, and
Mr. Martin, ho boarded Mr. Roberts'
auto, and was soon whirl! out to .the
Sunset Fruit Farm, and to the biggest,
and at least one of the best loganber
ry farms In the slate.
Mr. Roberts came to Oregon on a
visit four years ago, and was so Im
pressed with what he saw that he re
turned a year later, and, after going
over the valley thoroughly, coucluded
that the conditions and opportunities at
and around Salem were about the best,
and so located here. A little more than
two years ago he purchased the tract
now known as the Sunset Fruit firm,
and began work on it.

UNHID r-BKSS UBASID WIBI.
Kieff, Russia, Nov. 4. Lawyers for
both ' prosecution and defense in the
Mendel Beilis case today declared that
they thought a verdict would be reach
ed Saturday.
The chief prosecutor seemed surpris
ed at the suggestion from a correspond
ent that a strong case had not boon
made out against Beilis. He said he
considered it very strong indeed and
expected a conviction. Beilis' counsel,
questioned afterward, admittod that
they thought it likely the prosecutor
was right. A conviction would be im
possible in any moro civilized country,
of course, they said, but with a jury
whose members probably understood
little of the testimony and most of
whom had made up their minds in ad
vance, it was just as well to expect the
worst.
Under Russian law, Beilis cannot be
hanged for murder, but he can be sent
to Siberia for life.
RASPBERRIES OF A FINE
PEN HERE
E
C. A. Lytle, of 077 North Fifteenth
street, yesterday afternoon brought to
The Capital Journal office well-loaded
stems from his raspberry and blackber
ry vines to show what can be produced
in the late fall months in the Willam
ette valley. The fruit was nearly all
ripe and was as Bweet and wholosome
as that gathered in July and August.
Mr. Lytle says they are varieties which
grow-in the winter months as well as in
the Bummer. Last summer a couple of
rows of raspberries furnished enough
fruit for the Lytle family and Boveral
of the neighbors.
Mr. Lytle also has an apple tree
which is blossoming right now.

nhow a much greater vote than yestor-

Ward 1, 210; Ward 2, 370; Ward 3,

It will be seen from this that up to

There is only one thing that is at all
certain about the olection, and that is
that one side is going to be badly dis

Washington, Nov. 4. The story cir- ,
