STOCKTON, Cal, March 31.-The
general opinion of lawyers is that the

than manslaughter verdict and has a
good chance for hung jury or acquit-

not discovered a motive and cannot
prove that the woman gave McVicar

prove this by circumstantial evidence.
There will probably be no dispute of
the fact that the woman put McVicar
in the trunk The defense will claim
that the woman had no reason for
wishing McVicar out of the way, that
the poisoning was either accidental or
a case of suicide, that the wOman's
fear of prosecution caused her to at
tempt to dispose of the body. Mrs.

of acquittal. 1t is known positively

PLAN To DIVERT THE SALMON INTO THE WALLA WALA

but it was reported at the time that the
project was not feasible, owing to the
high range of mountains separating the
two streams.
In view of the fact that the COM

ernment for permission to divert a
part of the Salmon into the Walla
Walla it seems that a practical route
was discovered which will permit OF
the proposed project being considered
an engineering possibility.

they can tap 4 3e headwaters of Salmon
