WILL REVISE ALL RATES.
spokane's Triumph Means Terminal
Rates for All Interior Towns.

Spokane's Triumph Means Terminal
Rates for All Interior Towns.
The Oregon Sunday Journal says
If the outcome CT the Spokane freight
rate hearing:
Should the interstate commerce
commission decide the Spokane rate
case favorable to the petition of the
complainants, and put in the termi-
nal rates asked by Spokane, or any
considerable concession in that di-
rection, a general demand from in
terror points will be precipitated for
similar concessions. Advices from
Butte are that the Montana railway
commission will Immediately bring
suit against the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern for terminal
rates.
1t is said Helena, Missoula, Butte
and all interior points, as well as
Walla Walla and other towns now
within the Spokane zone, will be en-
titled to rate concessions equal to any
that may be granted to Spokane, and
present freight tariffs in the interior
will be riddled before the fight is
over. The Spokane zone" 200 miles
in diameter, in which Spokane Job
bers are now supreme through spe-
cial faTors of the railroad companies.
will be entirely obliterated in the
struggle.
The entire fabric of freight tariffs
on the Pacific slope and throughout
the intermountain region will have to
he readjusted and rates from Pacific
ocean distributing points to the in
terror will come in for radical re-
ductions, should a new basis of rates
from Chicago to Spokane and inter-
mediate points be granted.
When Commissioner Prouty left
Portland after the hearing was con.
cluded he said:
1T is very probable that we will
be ready to hear arguments of coun-
sci in this case the last week in June
at Washington. Should 1t not be ar.
ranged for that time, the arguments
will be put off until the last week in
September. In either event the COM
mission will not reach a decision be-
fore some time in October"
Briefs are being prepared by at
torneys for each railroad concerned
and also ty counsel for the Port
land chamber of commerce and the
attorneys for Spokane. All will ex-
change briefs between this date and
the opening of the final arguments.

Manus while his vlcti. not
looking. The motive 70. me
he held to be his dislike q vc-
Carly and that the killing -
signed he said would be show
evidence regarding the pure e y

In summing up his statemen Sep
Phelps maintained that the evld Q
would show that the killing Q
without justification or excuse AID
that by reason of his act McManus
became guilty of murder in the first
degree and would be still guilty even
if 1t should be shown that Estes was
the man he sought.
For the Defense
In commencing his opening state
ment for the defense Colonel Raley
declared that the state and also the
parties interested in the case through
being relatives of the deceased were
to be congratulated upon the jury
that had been selected. He then
dwelt upon the seriousness of the
case and the duties of the jurors. He
declared that from the findings of
the iury there is no appeal for
which reason utmost care should be
taken. He said the jury was en-
titled to full, fair and complete
statement of the case for each side
and that for the defense nothing
would be withheld. Some of the
claims made by the state were new
to him. That Estes was killed by
McManus he freely admitted, but he
held that the deed was neither de-
liberate nor malicious.
JustifiabIe Homicide.
After defining the various degrees
of murder the counsel called atten-
ton to the fact that If a man killed
another for the purpose of prevent
Ing the commission of felony the
act is 1ustifiable homicide. This he
maintained to be the status of the
McManus case and he drew a picture
of the scene in the back room of the
Pullman saloon to show that Just
prior to the shooting Estes had at
tempted to run his hand in the pock-
ct of McManus for the purpose of
robbing him. Thereupon the latter
had struck him with his left arm
knocking him partly over and draw
ing his pistol fired Immediately strik-
ing him in the right side. That Es-
ties had been knocked over by Nc
Manus he declared was substan-
tiated by the course of the bullet,

Opening Statements.
II was i0:35 this morning when
the jury was sworn in by Clerk Frank
Sailing and a short recess was then
taken before proceeding with the
case. Immediately after court re-
convened District Attorney Phelps
took the floor for the opening state
ment for the prosecution.
"Gentlemen of the jury" said he,
at now becomes my duty to make a
brief statement OF what testimony
vii, be brought out by the state. In
III IL -
the state is merely to present the
facts as they are and / will try not
to overstate anything, for this is too
serious an affair"
Continuing Mr.. Phelps declared
that one of the chief features in the
case would be the fact that Robert
Estes was killed; that McManus kill
ed him and that for the deed he has
been charged with murder in the first
degree. He defined first degree muir
der as being deliberate, premeditated
and with malice. He then gave a de-
tailed recital of the events which led
up to the killing of Estes and the cir
cumstances of the killing as he held
the evidence to show.
In his recital Of the case the dis
trict attorney told of McManus' visit
to Pendleton on February s, having
arrived about noon from Pilot Rock,
being accompanied by his wife. Also
his previous visits were told of. On
one occasion he had been taken to
the Idle Hour lodging house by a
man named McCarty and there rob-
bed, according to the story of Nc
Manus. McCarty had been arrested
but released because McManus
would not appear against him. A
few days after that occurrence Nc
Manus again visited Pendleton and
while in the city was in the Nolte
saloon when Bob Estes passed
through. Seeing him pass McManus
is said to have exclaimed. There
goes the s. of b. that robbed
me-" But he was told by the bar
tender that he was mistaken and
that 1t was Estes who had Just passed
instead of McCarty. At this Nc
manus apologized to Estes when he
returned from the rear of the .sa-
loon.
Mistaken Identity Claimed.
That in killing Estes, McManus
again mistook him for McCarty, was
claimed by the district attorney, who
claimed the evidence would show
that he had slain the wrong man.
But even were such not the case he
declared he would be still guilty OF
first degree murder. He described
the position of Estes before the urinal
in the rear Of the Pullman tsaloon,
and explained the shooting as hav-
