SO. All the Folks and Jeromes in tn
r-ni.ed States could have secured con-
vietion Of George Mitchell for the mur-
der of Holy Roller Crefield, says Dis
triet Attorney John Manning, who was
s1bpoenaed to the trial as a witness
for the defense.
"The real reason why George Mitch
ell was acquitted. 50 quickly" said
District Attorney Manning, "was be-
cause there was not a man in all King
county who did not know why Mitchell
killed Crefield, or enough about the
ca ses to make him a safe man for the
defense to have On the jury.
"Public sentiment in Seattle was
unanimous for acquittal. Every man,
woman and child I talked with wanted
to see him acquitted, and the only dis
senting exprr ssion I heard while in
Seattle was in the district attorney g
Office. Macintosh and Miller did the
best they could They tried hard, but
didn't stand a ghost of show Of con-
victing. No man could have done it,
no matter what his eloquence or abil'
ity. The fact is there were not enough
people in Seattle who favored convic-
uion to make up jury.
"There was more or less of psychic
phenomena in the situation" says the
Mulhnomah prosecutor, "aDd even had
the iuvmen been disposed to look at
the matter without predisposition tc
acquit, they would undoubtedly have
been influenced by the large courtroom
crowded with people, all anxious fol

this, Mr. Manning thinks, would have
acquitted the man, if the jury had ac
tually BEEN on the fence in the frst
place. As it was. though, says he
Mitchell was acquitted before he came
to trial
"The readiness with which Mitchell
was acquitte1 and the power of public
sentiment in bringing it about, is the ex
act antithesis in all respects to the eel

at The Dalles and convicted about two
years ago for the murder of Alma Nes.
bith and her mother. Williams was
convicted absolutely on circumstamtial
evidence, and the line between proba

dim. Williams was seen to drive into
the woods with the women and to come
back without them. He said they af
terward went east. The corpus delict
or evidence of the crime consisted o.
two tiny tufts of hair, which the de
fcnse contended was horse hair, and ;
piece of bloody gunnysack. which tn,

President Pleads Hazers' Cause.

The president yesterday made pub.
lie letter urging upon congress mod.
itication of the law against hazing at
the naval academy. Unless congress
shall promptly amend the existing law
against haZing, which makes manda-
tory the dismissal Of any midshipman
found guilty of any form Of hazing,
the secretary Of the navy may be
forced to dismiss 33 midshipmen from
the naval academy within the next
month, in addition TO eight who have
already suffered this penalty and the
three whose cases are awaiting action
by the department The president
points out that, in some instances, IT
is manfestly unjust to subject "A mid.
shipman convicted Of hazing to dis
missal from the academy, as frequent.
ly the punishment is quite dlspropor.
tionate TO the offense committed He
suggests that it Is an error to try a
midshipman accused of hazing by
courtmartial. His idea is that the
power to deal with such cases ought
TO be lodged In some administrative
officer or body to deal summarly with
the cases
The president was induced TO take
up the subject with the committees of
congress by reason OF facts submitted
to him In the John Paul Miller case.
He pardoned young Miller, because he
felt that his dismissal from the acad.
envy would be greater injustice than
the midshipman had committed on the
