such confession to the Daily News reporter.
Even under the most approved methods OF
sweating prisoners the police were una
bic to get anything from the woman which
might have implicated either herself or
Diggs in the murder.
Fake Must Not He Considered.
In giving his decision Police Judge
Crawford referred to the alleged con-
fession," saying:
"Mr Wilkinson's alleged confession
must not be considered agsinst Diggs, in
that he was not present at the time 1t
was said to have been secured. The con-
fession, II it be considered at all, would
only show the concern of Mrs Wheeler
for her murdered husband. The rela-
tions between Diggs and Mrs. Wheeler
have been shown and some probable mo-
tive established but aside from the facts
that Diggs" shoes seemed to have fitted
into tracks found near the scene of the
murder and that Diggs had friendly
conversation with Wheeler at the Nliliard
hotel there is not scintilla of evidence
to warrant me binding the defendants
over TO the district COURT
When the decision was announced
friends Of the accused attempted dem
onstrAtion. which was quickly suppressed
by the police.
Movements of Diggs.
The testimony regarding the movements
of Diess on the evening Of February q was
confusing at the best. Mr.. Garrell said he
went to church at Twenty-fourth and
Grant streets, arriving at the house OF wor-
shin about time for service, which was
o'clock. He said Diggs had not been
away from the place more than once then
for fifteen minutes, since o'clock. The
body OF Wheeler was found at 7:D by
George Welch and was then warm. Mrs.
Garrell was sadly mixed regarding her
recollection of time. Her testimony was
OF no value. Guy Stevens, garbage hauler'
! said he saw Diggs at Thirteenth and Leav-
enworth streets a few minutes after
O'Clock that evening. Several witnesses
! testified Dlggs called at the Millard hotel
engine room on. the afternoon Of the day
before the murder. One said Diggs and
Wheeler held a friendly conversation for
half an hour.
! Among the interested spectators In the
court were Miss Ira Wheeler, sister OF the
murdered man. and C. L. shamp. secretary
| OF the local union OF stationary firemen.
! Two detectives of the city jail went on
the stand and tried to establish a connec-
| ton between the shoes Diggs wore on the
evening Of February % and shoe prints
found in the soil near the spot where
wheeler's body was found. When asked
| to produce the shoes for evidence they were
unable 10 say where the shoes were. The
other witnesses merely testified as TO the
! finding Of the body and their acquaintance
with Diggs and Mrs. Wheeler.
In the main the evidence was substan-
TALLY the same as published in The Bee
at the time of the murder.
Digs Out on Bond,
After being released by the police Judge
James Diggs muttered a few uncompli-
mentary remarks in the direction OF Steve
Maloney, one of the plain clothes squad at
the city jail, for which offense Maloney
arrested Diggs on the charge OF disorderly
conduct. Diggs was Immediately released
on a cash bond. Maloney was one Of the
| witnesses against Diggs.

If press reports are true, Senator
John NJ. Gearin will not be in any
hurry hereafter to urge a special ses-
sion of the Dragon Legislature. A
dispatch from Washington says that
after Senator Gearin had joined with
Senator Fulton in sending tele-
graphic message to Governor Cham
berlain urging an extra session Of the
Legislature TO make an appropriation
for theSan Francisco sufferers, friends
called his attention to the possibility
that If such a session were called it
would have the power to elect United
States Senator, and, being Republi-
can body, would probably terminate
Gearin's official term. 1t is said that
the Democratic Senator almost fell
over himself in his haste to send a
second dispatch, asking the Governor
to disregard the former message.
The Senator has been compelled to
hear many joking references to the
matter from his colleagues.

is 1T WORTH THE MONEY?

The primary nominating election
law was tried for the first time last
Friday. As a measure conceived in
the interests OF the people as against
the bosses, it did not receive the sup
port that it should have received. OF
the 1920 voters in Yamhill county.
only about 1900 cast their ballots.
The lack Of contesting candidates on
the Democratic ticket may account
for the indifference displayed by the
members of that party; but such was
not the case with the Republican
ticket
Whether better men have been
selected as candidates to fill the various
state, district and county Offices, than
would have been selected by the old
convention method is for the people TO
decide. Whether the benefits derived
from the law are at all commensurate
with the outlay, is also left to the
judgment Of the people. The cost has
been enormous. In this county the
account that must be paid
from the public funds will amount to
not less than sl2OO -McMinnville
Register.
