Seattle Tomorrow

Several Corvallisites leave to.
morrow and next day for Seattle
to be witnesses in the trial of
George Mitchell, the slayer of
Cref6eld. The trial is set for Mon
day morning, and promises to be
memorable legal battle. The sub
poening of the Corvallis witnesses
was done by Sheriff Burnett yes
terday. On the list is, o. v. Hurt,
Miss May Hurt, Mrs. B. E. Starr.
E. H. Baldwin, E. R. Bryson,
Sheriff Burnett, and Lewis Hartley.
Others who will appear as witness
es are B. E. Starr, District Attor-
ney Manning, and the superb =
tendent and other attaches of the
Boys and Girls home of Portland.
These witnesses are 20 in number,
all being for the defense. For the
prosecution, but one witness will be
summoned, towit, Maud Hurt, who
has been held ever since the shoot.
ing by the Seattle authorities to
give testimony. Mr.. Bryson and
Mr.. Burnett will not go unless
wired for later.
Lawyers for both the prosecution
and defense have been in Corvallis
to gather evidence. Mr.. Morris
the most renowned criminal lawyer
! perhaps in Washington was here
several weeks ago, familiarizing
himself with the circumstances in
cident to Cref6eld's career, and Sc
lecting matter for use in defending
young Mitchell. Tuesday, Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Miller of
Seattle, was in Corvallis on a SIM
liar errand in behalf of the prosecu.
ton. He was but half day in
town, and is understood to have
found little here to encourage his
side of the case. He sad in private
that everybody he met in Corvallis
was prompt to declare that Cref-
field ought to have been killed long
BEFORE" adding that he never saw
such Una nimity of sentiment.
The trial will attract great dea1
of attention. The battle to save
the life of Mitchell will be all that
legal talent and human intelligence
can muster. One of the lawyers
for the defense is an Oregon boy
Silas Shipley, who is graduate O
Pacific University at Forest Grove
and is said to be one of the most eff
fective advocates in the country.
Belief is pretty general that The
jury will find justification for Mitch
ell's act, and that the boy will no
be subjected to severe punishment
There are, in fact, many who an
ticipate an acquittal.

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece

lambs should nevergo And Mary
sat her quickly down and tears
streamed from her eyes; she never
found the lamb because she did not
advertise. And Mary had broth.

he sat him down and smoked a
pipe and watched the open door,
And as the people passed along and
did not stop to buy, John still sat
and smoked his pipe and blinked
his sleepy eye. And so the sheriff
closed him out, but still he fingered
near, and Mary came to drop with
him sympathetic tear. How is
it sister, can you tell, why other
merchants here sell all their goods
so readily and thrive from year to
year?" Remembering her own
bad luck the little maid replies:
"These other fellows get there,
John because they advertise.
