STOCKS we're
in A TUMULT
(By Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, Dec. 2-The price
movement of stocks underwent some
violent mutilations today and the
course of the market gave abundant
evidence of a revival of something
like animation in speculation. The
market was highly speculative
throughout to a degree that has not
been approached since the crisis in
financial affairs, While prices were
declining in the morning, assertions
were current with equal positiveness
that the market was discounting an
expected bad influx in prices from
the tenor of the presidential mes
sage. Bonds were irregular in SYM
pathy with stocks, but decidedly
more active and showed large absorp-
tion.

MURDER
HORRIBLE CRIME COMMITTED
ON LONELY RANCH IN
OREGON.
(By Associated Press }

SALEM, Ore, Dec. 2.-News of
the murder of four persons on a
ranch near MacLeay reached here to-
day The bodies of Mrs. Casteel, her
daughter and son, and that of the
foreman of the ranch, a man named
Montgomery, were discovered burn
ed in the ruins of their abode in what
is known as the Hurst ranch. Just
how they were killed will probably
never be known owing to the char
red condition of the bodies, but from
the fact that shotgun and blood
stained hatchet were found near the
place, it is surmised that those were
in the slaughter. From the evidence
at hand it seems the killing was done
by tramps bent on robbery, who af-
terwards fired the house to give an
impression that the victims were ac-
cidently burned to death.

Bradley Jury Locked
Up for the Night

WASHINGTON, Dec. Judge
Orlando Powers made his appeal for
the life of Mrs. Bradley and it was
a masterpiece in the way of elocu-
tionary effort The court was crowd
ed, there being a good many women
present. AS the counsel proceeded,
there was much weeping and Sob
bing. Judge Powers was preceded by
Attorney Hoover for the defense.
Powers spoke of the former good
character of the woman, and said
that no fair minded man could bring
in a verdict of guilty. He dwelt up
on her great love for Brown, and
answered the prosecutions question
as to why she did not leave him by
saying that he had hypnotized-he
and where could she go in leaving
the side of the man for whom she
had given her all. She did not in
tend to murder Brown; she had gone
to his room for the purpose of ending
her own miserable existence. and he
had sought to prevent her. In the
struggle, the weapon was discharged
and Brown was shot.
The lawyer asked the jury not tc
find the defendant guilty but to send
her back to her invalid father, and tc
her four children.
