TRIAL FOR LIFE

Staying Millionaire

NEW YORK. April 23.-Baroness
Anesia Louise De Massey was placed
On trial today for the murder of Gus
tav Simon, the millionaire shirt manu-
facturer, who was shot dead in his Of
flee last November.
The baroness was attended in court
by two attaches of the French consufs
office and represented by Attorney
Charles Lebarbler.
It is said the defense will be a case
of mistaken identity, but the prose-
cution contends the woman and Simon
had q dispute over wages due her.
1t is alleged the woman had given
up her place and returned to Simon
for money she claimed was due. An
argument followed and the woman
fired three times, one bullet entering
the lungs causing death at the hospital
after Simon had accused the baroness
of being his slayer.
There is much mystery in the wom-
ans history. She claims her husband
was poisoned in France by a secret en-
envy. 1t is said she lived here 10 years
seeking the assassin and is suspected
there is some connection between this
and the killing of Simon.

TO HAVE NEW DEPOT.
PendIeton May Receive One if Elevator
Can Be Moved.

PENDLETON, April 23.-The East
Oregonian says: If Pendleton will in
some way secure the removal of the
Pacific Coast elevator which now
stands opposite the o. r. & n. passen-
ger depot, there is a possibility that a
new depot will be erected here by the
company.
This is not official but it is sug-
gested by officials of the company that
this elevator building is an undesirable
object in the o. r. & n. yards and
that as long as it is in position there
the company will not be willing to
make extensive improvements.
The elevator is not now used as
an elevator, but is used solely as a
stable and it is believed that If prop
er showing were made to the ele-
vator company that the building
would be removed to some more ap-
propriate place.
