East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-04-23

This is the second day of the actual
trial of ]. p. McManus and the legal
battle for the life and liberty of the
Pilot Rock editor is now on in
earnest. Today the state has been
continuing the offering of evidence.
and as yesterday the witnesses for
the prosecution have been subjected
to severe cross-examination at the
hands Of Judge Fee, one of the coun-
sells for the defense.
Walter Hopper was the principal
witness of the forenoon, and the
cross-eSamination revealed some va
riations between the testimony given
by him at the coroner's inquest and
that given on direct examination dur
ing the trial.
As has been the case since the
start of the present case the court
room has been well filled and the
evidence is eagerly listened to by in
terested parties in the audience. Dur
ing the entire case thus far Mrs.
McManus has sat beside her husband
and today she was accompanied by
Mrs. l.. A. Esteb and another lady
friend.
Pullman Was Visited.
At the opening of court at 9 o'clock
this morning District Attorney
Phelps asked that the jury be taken
TO the Pullman saloon for the pur-
pose of examining the premises. OBJ
lection was raised by Judge Fee for
the defense on the ground that 1t
was not proper time to view the
premises The objection was over
ruled and an exception allowed.
II was then ordered by the court
that the sheriff order the Pullman
saloon cleared of all people and pre-
pared for the jury's inspection. Dep
uty Joe Blakeley was instructed to
accompany the jury along with the
bailiffs and to point out the premises
to them. Strict orders were given
that no one else be allowed to speak
to the Jury or point out any part Of
the premises to them.
Just as the jury was starting to
leave the court room the district at
torney asked that the defendant be
allowed to accompany the party. This
was granted, but the defendant did
not care to avail himself of the op-
portunity. A recess was then taken
while the Jury visited the Pullman.
Howard on Stand.
At 9:i5 the party returned and T.
F. Howard was called to the stand.
He had a diagram of the Pullman
saloon and It was admitted as evil
dence for the purpose of assisting
witnesses to explain distances. OBJ
jections were made by the defense
to the admission of the map, but they
were overruled. Howard was then
questioned regarding the dimensions
in the rear of the saloon. Numerous
objections being offered by the de-
fense, all of them being overruled.
On crOss-examination by Judge
Fee, Howard was closely quizzed re-
garding his measurements and the
distances in the saloon rear. He
said he had made the map at the in
stance Of the district attorney. Much
time was consumed by the cross-ex-
animation, but nothing new was de-
veloped.

New Suggestion.

The s'ready pistol problem is
yet unsolved. Laws that have
abated the evil to some extent
have from time to time been en-
acted, but DO means have yet been
found that would prevent the
carrying of>an unlawful gun. In
this connection, a unique resolu-
tion introduced at recent meet
ing of the Beech Island Farmers
club by prominent member of
this very oil organization is
worthy of notice. I he resolution,
which may be presented to the
next legislature, provides that the
owner of every gun be taxed IS
per year and pistol owners $40
per year, which money is to be-
used in equipping the schools
with military paraphernalia. If
all Of the shooting irons, guns and
pistols of every description what
ever, were taxed-and would that
every pistol could be taxed out of
existence-suffcien money would
be raised to equip every school
with frst-class arsenal.

ers are at work in this state. they
have visited Branchville, Maud

the past ten days. Who knows but

Some Advantage.

Many disadvantages arise from
being located at the end of q rail-
road track instead of being on q
trunk line, but, on the other hand,
there are some advantages. Just az
the wealthy northern people are
coming south in their palace cars
to escape the rigors of the winter,
80 are thevgreat army of "WearJ
Wlllies" trampirg their way to
the sunny south, or are making
the journey by stealing rides OIL
trains. AS these migratory human
beings always follow the main
lines, they often become nuiaances
in many of the towns and cities
along the route. 2ct as Edgefeld
is six miles from the main line
one seldom sees aLy real tramps
here, consequently our town is
never annoyed by their deprada-
tions or by having them beg their
daily bread.

woman,s Mission gasieties.

The Christmas season Ngalmost
at hand and it has beenMecided
that this year again the Christ.
mas Offering will go to China. Our
contributions from the Woman {
Mission Societies will be appro-
priated to the support of Mrs
John Lake, as at the last annual
meeting at Bold Spring, it was
agreed that we would attempt to
raise the salary of a foreign mis-
sionary. AS our association is sup
porting Rev. John Lake it was
thought appropriate that we adopt
Mrs. Lake also into our mission
ary family. The contributions
from Sunbeam societies will be
sent to the chapel at Ylngtak,
China. This added amount to be
raised will require larger gifts and
greater efforts.
Those societies which have not
yet received literature and envel-
opes for the Christmas Offering
and week of prayer in January
should order from, Mrs. A. L.
Cr1t chfeld, Spartanburg, at once,
and distribute envelopes to all
society members at next preaching
service, or as soon as convenient,
Try to observe at least one day in
January Of the week of prayer,
either at church or at the home of
member. At, this service the en-
velopes may be collected and con-
tents sent to Mrs. j. N. Cudd,
Spartanburg.
No society need be discouraged
if the contributions are small. If
each society will respond to this
even in small way, the aggregate
will amount to good sum, and
will help us to meet our aim for
foreign missions. Those who can
observe the whole week as a time
of prayer will find great benefit to
the work and themselves.
Yours in the work,
Mrs. j. LaMims,
Asso. Supt.
