Several steward collectors are kept busy for
aging in adjacent bays and shores to secure
appetlzing edibles. From a day and nights
raid by the food hunters they will bring back
a load of minnows, shrimps, mussels, crabs,
marine worms, small soft CLAIMS and beach fleas.
The latter form a favOrite dish for the lesser
fish, and are largely consumed. These are OBJ
tanned in novel way. The collector secures
them by spreading a sheet on the beach at night
and placing on it a lantern. Thousands of the
feas are attracted by the light. Then the sheet
is picked up by the corners and the beach heas
are empted into buckets. The whole collec-
ton is fed carefully to the fishes, in order that
there may not be an unnecessary amount of
food left unconsumed which would have to be
removed to prevent injecting the water The

Occasionally some of the specimens brought
out to be photographed display symptoms of
sickness. These may have possibly received a
shock inside their quarters, such as a boy hit

to dart suddenly and to strike on some corner

day of Roosevelt's visit here THAT he
did not smother child born to her, and
that he never put an infants body in
the Schanno ditch.
Following some unlmportant testi-
mony by various witnesses, mostly for
the purpose of corroborating other testi-
mony, the state in an attempt to i'm
peach the witness Wesley Boyd, placed
upon the stand Isaac Hayes, Grant
Wise, Ed Nandever, and John w.
Morgan Each swore that he knew
Wesley Boyd's reputation for truth and
veracity in the community, and that it
was bad. Counsel for the defense then
placed upon the stand Sheriff Grant,
who did not know the reputation of Mr..
Boyd, good or bad. He was followed by
George Donald, j. d. Cornett, Mr.. Hardy
and II. II. Schott. all OF whom stated
that so far as they knew, the reputation
of Mr.. Boyd for veracity was good.
This closed the testimony OF both
sides. a few minutes recess was taken,
and then the attorney for the state
began his argument, promptly at $40.
The court allowed three hours for the
argument, the time to be divided be-
tween the attorneys for the state and
defense. The instructions 10 the jury
were brief, and the jury retired at II 10
to consider the testimony and render
their verdict

Smith was not in the room at the time
the second examination was made.
Frank Clark testified to overhearing a
conversation in Barton's store, in which
Blanche McCallum asked for money to
take her to Portland, and in which she
stated that she had previously given
birth to child, and that the birth was
premature, brought about by the use of
medicine. Leroy Barton corroborated
him in part.
Bill higgins, by whom the defense
tried to prove an abb for the defend
ant. swore as he did in the preliminary
hearing, and denied ever having been in
a room at the Kangaroo house with
Blanche McCallum and Willard Boyd.
Wesley Boyd, father of the defendant,
stated that his son was at home with
him on the ranch in the Natchez valley
at the time the prosecuting witness says
he was with her, at the birth of her first
child. He accounted for the Young
mans whereabouts for each half dav
during the week in question. When
| asked by the prosecuting attorney il he
did not attend school meeting on one
OF the days he had testified he and his
son were at work on the farm, he replied
that he did not, and that he had not at
| tended school meeting for three years.
Evidence was later introduced which
proved that both he and his wife did at
tend the meeting in question, and that
| they stayed at the schoolhouse for two
or three hours.
John Clark, Ray de Layman ard -
MCGEE, all young boys, admitted they
were Boyd's friends, and stated that
they saw him on the street near the
Yakima National bank at the hour that
| the prosecuting witness swore he was
| with her in the kangaroo house.
Mrs. Wesley Boyd was put upon the
stand to prove his presence at home at
the time he is said to have been in this
city.
Mrs. Mamie Garrett, sister of the de-
| fendant, swore that she took the eighth
grade examination at the time Blanche
McCallnm did, and on one of the nights
slept with her. She saw nothing to in
dictate that the girl was pregnant. That
was Just week prior to the time the
child is said to have been born.
Drs. Burns and Crompton were exam
ined in regard to the hydrostatic test
referred to above, and in regard to the
probability OF an unattended child
being born and living from , till IL

The defendant, Willard Bovd. took the
stand, and denied positively that lie

times she alleged, or at the time
her first child was born; said he was

BOYD ADMITTED TO BAIL:
BONDS PLACED AT $4,000
Court Overruled the Objection of the
Prosecuting Attorney-0nIy
Question was Amount.

In the superior court this morning
after a number of equity cases had beer
set for trial, Attorney Snively asked that
his client Willard Boyd. be released from
custody on bail. Prosecuting Attorney
Parker objected. but the court ruled
that in the event of hung jury in a
murder trial the defendant was entitled
to bail, the only question being the
amount of the bond. lie placed Boyd's
bond at $4,000.
The father of the defendant is en-
gagged in securing the signatures to the
bond today, and Mr.. Snively states that
it vii be filed and Boyd released before

The end of the bitterly contested trial
of Willard Boyd on the charge of MUIR
der in the superior court last week was
a surprise to large majority of the
people who heard the evidence in the
case. Opinion as to the guilt or in
nocence of the accused was very much
divided, but neither those who accepted
the theory the state attempted to prove
nor those who believed Boyd innocent
looked for disagreement. The former
looked for a verdict of murder in the
first degree, while the latter We're
equally confident that the jury would
acquit the defendant. The whole case
seemed to hinge upon the identity of the
infant found in the Schanno ditch in
June last. If the jury believed that this
child and the child born to Blanche Nc
Calum in the Kangaroo lodging house
on the afternoon of May 25th, 1908,
We're one and the same, then no one
could understand how, in view of the

with the facts alleged in the informa-
ton.
1t was reported to Judge Rudkin in
the afternoon Friday that there was lit
tie chance for an agreement, and the
jury were instructed to endeavor to
Do ctan if
the Judge holding that they mad not de-
liberated a sufficient length of time to
warrant disagreement. The jury then
asked for further instructions. They
wanted to know if it was necessary for
the state to establish whether the child
found in the Schanno ditch was the one
PENDANT, and whether it was necessary
to show that the child was a male. The
court stated that it was necessary for
the state to show beyond a reasonable
doubt that the child alleged to have
been killed by the prisoner was a male
child. He said that as far as he could

lum did not look at the child after it
was born and that she did not know its
sex.
The jury again retired and continued
discussing and balloting upon the case.
Judge Rudkin was compelled to go to
Pasco on the ll:l7 train to conduct a
term of court; late in the evening he
sent word that unless they were able
to agree by 10 o'clock he would dismiss
the jury. At that time, no word having
come from the jury room, the Judge, at
torneys, defendant and a few Others filed
into the court room, and Judge Rudkin
took his place.

Prosecuting Attorney Parker: "Of

in view of the testimony that was
offered, but l think the position of
the state is now stronger one than
it was before the trial was held.

reason, in my opinion, to look for
that as a result. don't think
the state made a case, and l be-
lieve that the testimony of the de-
tense demolished that of the pros
