JURY SELECTED FOR
ROBBINS MURDER TRIAL

Hood River, ore. Sept. 9.-Twelve
men have been selected to decide
whether young George Robbins is
guilty of the brutal murder Of Mrs,
Emallne Castoe in his fathers cab
in, June 26, and before the night is
over part of the prosecutions evil
dence against the prisoner will be in
the hands of the jury. Late this af-
ternoon the jury panel was completed,
and after viewing the scene of the
murder a night hearing was decided
upon to eXpediate the trial
Robbins, Sr., was the first witness
called against his son. His testimony
mainly related to the discovery of his
aged housekeeper cold in death, after
answering a decoy telephone message,
said by the prosecution to have been
sent him by his son.
Prosecutors Statement BombshelI.
District Attorney Wilson'S opening
statement to the jury was a bomb
shell in the camp of the defense. the
general outline of the prosecutors
case starting with promised testimony
new, not only to the defense, but to
citizens here who have followed the
case closely.
Il shall show" said the District At
torney that on the day of the MUIR
der young Robbins said he intended
to visit Mrs. Castoe to get from her
money belonging to him she had in
her keeping. His object, he said, was
to get sufficient money to go to Port
land to see about buying a moving
picture show"
Following this statement District
Attorney Wilson gave a general re-
view of the evidence in his possession
which, with the exception of the new
'eature cited, has appeared in The
Oregonian. This was remarked by
Attorney Jayne, counsel for the de-
ense, who limited that the Oregonian's
recount of the murder and clews
seemed authoritative.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local appliances, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an lnflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachlan Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con-
diton, hearing will be destroyed forever {:
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an lnflamed condi.
tion Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

spread liberal movement that the
name Of the Young Turk party is
popularly given. For years they
carried on their agitation, cease
lessly, fearlesslv, with boundless
self-sacrifce. AT length. in July
of last year, they forced the sultan
to respect the constitution and to
convene parliament. This body |
held its first meeting December IL,
1908, and with it came into power
a ministry which was supposed
10 represent in large measure the
reform ideas of the Young Turks.
But the victory of the Young Turks
was not complete. In the Turkish
army were many soldiers who chung
o the old regime and these troops
and demanded a new
ministry. Their demand was
granted and Abdul Hamid, glad OF
he chance, pardoned the mutine-
RS. But many Turkish soldiers
IRE in sympathy with the Young
Turks. II is these progressive
roops who surrounded CONSTANT
iople and forced the sultan to re-
ire.
