PORTLAND, Or, Feb. Q, Special.-The

on the morning Of December 25. 1887. He

ham was murdered.
"Dr. G. H. Wheeler testified that the
character OF the wound would have been
different had the deceased received the In.
juries from which he died. by a fall He
thinks the wound was produced by blow.
Under the testimony adduced, believe
that am called upon to hold the prison.
ers to answer before the grand jury.
There may be other testimony that will
prove the prisoners innocence, and hope
there is. The order Of this court is that
defendants be held TO appear before the
grand jury without bail"
Considerable doubt exists in the minds
of the police whether they can convict the
defendants of this cnarRe.
