of E. E. Lyons occupied the entire
time of the circuit court today. The
entire forenoon was consumed in se-
curing a jury, large number be-
ang rejected for various reasons.
finally about noon the jury was
completed and sworn, and 10 the af-
ternqon the trial began. The at
torneys for the prosecution and for
the defense made very brief prelim-
anary statements outlining the case
to the jury, after which the taking
of testimony began. The evidence
was very much the same as has
been published in the papers.
Thesaged and infrm father and
mother of Lyons were brought into
court and their testimony taken.
1t was touching sight when Mrs.
Lyons was brought in on pillows
and for the first time since the trag.
edy, saw her son. Tears stood in
many eyes besides those Of the
prisoner and his mother. Her tes-
aamony was mostly on the point Of
her interference with the officer.
She stoutly denied having attempt
ed TO prevent the sheriff from per-
forming his duty, but says she was
asking the sheriff for what crime he
was arresting her son when the shot
was fired

it is proposed to locate mammoth

Nothing definite has been given

Salem, Or, March 3.-In or

Warden E. A. Mcpherson last Sun
day night clim bed over the wall
went through the shops and climb
out again. He scaled the wall where
Tracy and Merrill crossed it last
summer.
i This feat on the part of the war.
den was accomplished at the risk OF
his life, for if he bad been discov.
cred by one of the guards be would
very probably have been instantly
shot. As result of this test Gov
ernor Chamberlain today asked for
the resignation of the two wall
guards, I. E. Hammersley and D..
J. Ferree, on the ground that they
had neglected their duty, to the Sc
rious peril Of the safety Of the pris-
on.
Mcpherson is the new second
warden appointed about a month
ago. He has believed for several
days that the wall guards were not
vigilant, and declared his belief
that he could safely scale the wall
at night. He made known his in
tentions to the guard inside the
wall, Simpson, and about IL o.
clock at night, Sunday, he went a.
round to the nnrth side Of the en-.
closure, put ladder against the
wall, climbed up, and then trans
ferred his ladder and clim bed down
the other side. He went all through |
the shops and the yard, and then
climbed back on the wall. He went |
into one of the guardhouses and
took the guards hat and overcoat,
and then LEFT the wall and went
back to the Office. Here he locked
up the clothing he had taken, and
