REYNOLDS ON
TRIAL FORL|FE
Murderer Of Ge6PgeH ePbert
Faces Portland Court

Sitting between his young son and
daughter. apart from his wife. who
was the cause of his crime, Charles
Reynolds, formerly of Freewater. mur-
derer of George Hibbins or Herbert,
as he was known here. sits today on
trial for his life in Portland.
The story of the murder is we'll
known to people of this city Herbert
as he was known here, was leader of
the band in this city for some time.
When the Zinn musical company was
here last spring he left this city as a
member of the orchestra and went to
Portland. While there he was found
jim the hallway of the Reynolds home
with Mrs. Reynolds, by her husband
The couple were just leaving for the
city park. Reynolds drew his gun and
fired several shots, mortally wound
ing Hibbins, who died the next day at
the Good Samaritan hospital in Port
land.
In his dying statement Hibbins de-
clared he had known the woman but
regard to some verses she wished set
to music. Mrs. Reynolds at first cor
roborated this statement but later con-
fessed to having known him for more
than year and that they had been H.
innate for several months. Two let
ters found upon the dead man seemed
to show the truth of the confession.
One was a passionate love letter and
the other was letter arranging for
their flight together Mrs. Reynolds
said Hibbins ante-mOrtem statement
was made solely to protect her ard
that it was not true.
Hibbins was brought TO this city for
burial and Reynolds was at once
locked up for the crime. He said Hib-
bins had ruined his home and what he
to escape but calmly awaited arrest.
When Mrs Reynolds made her confess
sion and went to see him, lie expressed
no surprise or emotion.
Emotional Insanity Defense.
Today he is or. trial for murGering
home and alienated his wife's affec-
tions from him. Yesterday he sat be-
tween his children, behind the bar in
the circuit court in Portland and list
ened calmly to the questioning of the
jurors who are to decide whether or
not he is worthy of death for his crime.
Weeping behind a heavy VEIL Mrs.
Lulu Reynolds. wife of the accused
mar, mother of his children and con-
fesSed lover of the, dead mar for
taking whose life her husband is being
.ried, sat apart from her children and
their father. She was subpoenaed by
the defense and it is thought she Will
be called as a witness in behalf OF her
accused husband. The two children,
Eta, aged 49, and Harry, aged II, will
testify in behalf of the murderer. BY
their testimony it is expected to prove
he fact that the visits of Hibbins- to
the Reynolds home were frequent, and
that they had told their father of them
Emotional insanity is to be the plea
of the defense, in part. So much was
told yesterday by John F. Logan. at
torney for he defense, when he queS-
toned the jurors. Other defense will
be used also, he says, but this he did
not tlivulge. More than, likely it Will
be justification under the Oregon law.
The prosecution is being conducted
by Deputy District Attorney h b.

Mr.. West said this morning that AS
SCISSOR Griffin had informed him that he
had conferred today With the board ana
that they expected to be able 10 com
plete il this week.
No reply mas as yet been received
from the Potomac Electric and Power
Company 10 the assessor S question ask
ing whether they had included the value
of their meters and conduits IN their an
nual statements for taxation. Mr. Crlf-
fin Is becoming restlve under the delay,
and is inclined 70 regard IL as taCit ad-
mission that tnis property has escaped
taxation. He said unless he received
an answer today that he would go per-
sOnally and make an investigation.
Assessor Griffin IS wondering why Con-
gress specifically excepted the tracks Of
the street railway companies from tax
alton as real estate. He holds that If
they are to continue exempt. the tax on
gross earnings should be increased 80
per cent. Commissioner West said today
that the Commissioners would renew
tneir recommendation to Congress 70
have this increase enacted into law.

the army and navy, thus enabling 1t to

with the Associated Press correspond
emit, said that the department of finance
was now confident that after 1910
Japan's financial position will be such
as to enable the government to under
take the work of development on a
large scale.
The progressive party is preparing
for an active campaign in the diet, in
opposition to the governments policy to
restrict emigration to America and
Canada. It is improbable however.
that it will succeed in mastering suf-

companies nor of others, who sympa-

APPEAL TO TAFT.
Railroads win Ask for Modification
of Kaw Bridge Order.

Awaiting the arrival home of Sec
rotary of War Taft. who Is now
abroad. attorneys for the railroads
which have bridges crossing the Kan
sas river at Kansas City, Kansas, hope
to prevail upon that official 50 that it
Will not be necessary for ten Of the
railroad bridges to be entirely re-
modeled and constructed with but one
middle pier instead OF the two as the
order at present stands. Secretary
Taft is expected to return to washing
ton on or about the 18th of Decem-
Der and the objections of the railroads
interested will be imm ediately set be-
tore him. The order to remove all
but one pier was made on the as
sumption that the flood waters of the
kaw was obstructed by the presence
of the extra piers and forced on to
the adjoining bottoms. ~
Inc United States court has de-
clared the Kaw a navigable stream
and though the railroads first fought
that the secretary of war will SO
modify the decree that two piers may
be permitted to stand.
The attempt which was made by
the Wyandotte county drainage board
to secure a modification of the de-
Ing the width of the channel OF the
Kansas at 500 feet, yesterday after
noon, resulted in failure
Judge Keplinger desired the modi-
hcatton in order that the drainage
board might, whenever 1t saw it, in
crease the width of the river and also
asked that the consent feature which
was entered in the decree when
handed down, be removed. The drain
age board consented first to fixing the
width at 500 feet but when 1t talked
of appealing to the circuit court of ap-
peals 1t found that act of consent as
expressed by them would probably
seriously interfere with securing a
hearing from the higher court. They
believed II this was eliminated from
the papers when they went up to the
circuit court of appeals that the case
would be successfully fought to a con-
clusion.
Both of these requests for modiflca-
tons of the October decree were de-
MED by the court.
The drainage board states that they
will appeal to the higher court not
withstanding though this Is not en-
tirely certain.

Rice Han at waslburn Practically Destroyed by

William M. Gibson and a number Of
play folk at the ellis, the Century,
the Majestic and other smaller places.
The fight for Sunday closing has been
waged by Judge Wallace for several
weeks. He recently ordered the the
atrical managers to close on Sunday.
They refused to do SO and secured a
temporary injunction preventing his
interference with their performances.
The federal court dissolved this injunc-
ton and Judge Wallace sought the in
dictments to force compliance. It is his
intention to have the managers and
players indicted each week, and to ar
rest them and place them under indi-
vidual bond. As it is not likely that
any manager will care to continually
furnish bonds for the players so as to
release them to fill engagements else
where the court believes that the the
alter men finally will respect his wish
and discontinue Sunday performances.
The Sunday law has previously been
upheld.
