WILL MOVE FOR CHANGE OF VENUE

The grand jury, which has for the
past three days been investigating the
charges against Edmund J. Bailey and
wife, returned a true bill against them
Wednesday morning at 10 O'Clock, In
dicating both Edmund J.. and Alya
Bailey for murder In the first degree.
The action OF the g,and jury will
cause both Of the Bailey's to be placed
on trial for their lives, the penalty for
murder In the first degree being
death. The outcome OF the trial will
likely be death or freedom for the
accused; it being very improbable,
from the circumstances which sur
round the case and the degree upon
which the Bailey's are indicted, that
a p~enitentiary sentence will be given.
An application will likely be made
for a change OF venue, which II grant,
ed, will take the Ease out Of the
county to be tried.
The defendants are represented by
attorneys Edmonston & Staliings
who, when asked about the probable
ity OF the case being taken out of tine
county for trial said that after inves-
tigating, as best they were able, the
feeling OF the public they thought 1t
best to apply for a change Of venue,

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE sTRoLLERs. TONIGHT.

Few musical comedies have enjoyed
the popularity of "The Strollers, -
which comes to the Keylor Grand to-
night. The book of this splendid Of
fering is the work of Harry B. Smith,
and was written when that prolific
writer was in the zenith of his fame.
The music is by that celebrated COM
poser of true melody, Ludwig Eng
lander When 1.-THE Strollers" was
first produced at the Knickerbocker
theater, New York, such notable ar
lists as Francis Wilson, Eddie Foy,
Irene Bentley and Marie George were
in the cast. Later it was presented
with Marguerite Sylvia as the star.
The company which will be seen at
the Keylor Grand is by no means the
least notable that has appeared in the
play, as Teddy Webb, Aida Hemmi,
Joseph w. Smith, Francis Carrier and
Frieda Wisher are among those promi-
nent in the cast.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-12-28
GIVE THE PEOPLE JUSTICE.

81 know Mr.. Reese. know his tao
tics. 1 could swallow them for 9
while, but they won't go any further.
We have to give the people Justice"
These are the ringing words of
Councilman Guy Bridges, spoken in
open council meeting, following up the
intimation that some of his associates
in the council were controlled by the
Warren Construction company.
What more do the people Of Walla
Walla want to convince them 1t is
time to make a stand for municipal
purity and oppose the corrupting in
f1uence of a greedy corporation? What
else is necessary to bring about pub
lie protest against the methods of the
company and the gross betrayal of
public Office by the bitulithic squad in
the city council?
The Indifference of the taxpayers
and property owners at this time
amounts to almost a crime. 1t is an
actual compromising of a felony, if the
charges of paving graft be true, and
there is every reason to believe there
is something doing" between the
paving company and the members of
the council it controls.
Whether that something amounts to
actual cash payment for disregarding
the peoples rights, or whether 1t
comes in the shape of campaign ex-
penses - either is corruption and
should not be tolerated. The sensa-
tional scene in the city council should
not be allowed to pass unnoticed. The
taxpayers should arise in their might
and demand an investfgation-call for
grand jury If necessary.
1--WE have to give the people JUS
tice"
Councilman Bridges declaration was
fearlessly and honestly made. He
knew what he was talking about.
There is little doubt that he knows
more. Mr.. Bridges is a conservative
business man-not a sensational poll
tician There is more back of that re-
mark than has been made public.
Get in, Mr.. Taxpayer, and help give
the people justice. Don't let Frank
Reese bump the head" of Council
man Tausick again, when the council
man is fighting for your interests.
