mind. During the momentary alb

from bed, climbed out of the window
and leaped from the fire escape.
A nurse in another hospital who

that as he alighted on the ground he
sprang to his feet, and with the
crouch that characterizes football
players when sprinting with the ball,
Dimmick ran fully five hundred feet
before dropping exhausted. The dis
tance he fell was not great and he
suffered no bodily injury but in his
weakened condition he was unable
to stand the shock. He was dead

HickoX. HickoX summoned Night
Marshal Lewis and together the Off

A MODERN CAVE
DWELLER FOUND

A modern cave dweller has been
discovered near this city according
to city and county officers whose at
tention has been called to the man.
For the past three years, according
to their story man apparently
thoroughly civilized, has been makins
a cave near Pilot Rock junction,
three miles west of Pendletou, his
home and has eked out an existence
with his gun. According 90 Chief Of
Police Gurdane. this singular indi-
vdual came into the city last week
with Il large number Of coyote hides
which he sold to Jimmie HaCke,t.
The chief declares he has been told
many times of this man and his bar
barrie manner of living but had dis
credited the stories until recently
when he verified them 1t is said
that the man has fixed up the cave
with few modern improvements and
has a good gun and a revolver with
which he hunts cnv"tss and other var
mints and that he is an expert
marksman. Apparently he does not
care for human companiorship and
never comes to the city except to sell
his hides and purchase a few meager
supplies.

OP|ONATED JUROR

Judge So Rules In McNa-
mara Case
Holds That Ncnireman Mckcefe's
Opinion Regarding Dynamite Does
Not Iisqualify Him.

Hall of Records, Los Angeles, Calf.
Oct 23.-(Bulletin)- ruling on
the objection raised by the Mcnamara
defense to Venireman Mckee, who
declared his belief that the Times
building was destroyed by dynamite,
which would require conclusive evil
dence to remove Judge Bordwen to-
day caused CONSERVATION among the
attorneys for the defense when he
handed down his decision. in which
he held that this belief on the part
of venireman, gained from reading
newspaper accounts alone, was not
sufficient TO disqualify one from jury
duty
This is the first decision adverse to
the defense that Judge Bordwell has
handed down since the trial started
twelve days ago. IN rendering the
opinion, the court said:
, "As long as juror says his opin-
ion does not go to guilt, or innocence,
Of the defendant and he says that such
an opinion will not bias him in reach
ing a verdict, this court has no dis
cretion but to hold that the juror is
qualified"
The challenges Of both Veniremen
Robinson and Mcintosh were allowed
and they were dismissed.
Attorneys Darrow and Scott both
made strong argument against the
ruling and so bitter was Attorney
Scotrs disappointment that he open
" charged Judge Bordwell with him
self being biased and was in turn Sc
yerely rehuked by the court They
finally submitted to the decision and
resumed the work of examining more
veniremen.
This means that the defense will
have to peremptorilu challenge Nc
Noe and conserve its challenges for
others like him.
The defense tried hard to get
Judge Bordwell to reconsider his rul-
ing in the Mckee case, but the only
concession they could get was hat
If they could product authorities that
would show he was wrong he would
reopen the case.
William oliver was first venireman
examined afterward by Attorney Dar-
row. when the tedious task of quail
Tying more jurors TO fill the eight
empty seats, started.

Japan Neutral.

san Francisco, oct 23.-Japan has
decided to keep its hands off in the
Chinese revolution, according to dis
patches received here from Toxic.
This assurance, that Japan won't har-
rass the revolutionists under the pre-
text of protecting Jap interests, will
do much toward making the rebels
more confident.
Japan has been mobilizing a large
force on the Manchurian frontier, for
military tactics"
The dispatches state that the Jap
anese war minister. comforting with
the cabinet, decided upon a neutral
stand.
A reported application of the Man
chu government for a five million
dollar loan, is said TO be under con-
sideration by the minister of finances.
A clash between 1900 rebels and i'm
perialist troops at Quong Shue Hupeh
province resulted in a complete rout
OF the government forces, says an

Boston. Mass, Oct 23-Determined
TO spare no one, no expense or no en-
ergy in their efforts to save the neck
of Rev. Clarence Virgil Richeson, now
held prisoner on a charge of having
murdered nineteen year old Avis Lin
nell in order to remove her as an OBJ
stacle to his approaching wedding to
an hcirsss, friends of Moses Edmands,
father Of the accused preachers fl
ancee, declare today that a former
su.tOr of the dead girl was responsible
for her physical condition and gave
her the drug hat caused her death
and the arrest of Richeson.
Inspector Of Police Dugan today
declares that he has now completed
a chain of circumstantial evidence
which will undoubtedly convict the
minister of the crime. He says that
the evidence tends to prove that the
minister found it necessary to rid
himself of the young girl and that he
was crazy about money, which it is
claimed led him to become engaged
to Miss Violet Edmands, who is heir
to half a million dollars ana whose
father is a millionaire
Richeson is more composed today
and talks readily on any subject save
the one which most vitally effects
him-that Of the murder charge.
Strenuous efforts are being made by
him and his friends to frame up an
alibi.
1t is claimed by some of his friends
that Richeson is prepared to produce
the cyanide potassium which he pur-
chased from Druggist Hahn and which
1t is alleged he gave to Miss L.innell
should it contain the same amount
that the druggist sold him it will
strongly favor his contention of inno-
cence, unless it develops that the
package had been ,ampered with or
substituted with another.
The Edmands family is busily en-
gagged in returning to their friends
wedding presents and recalling more
than one thousand wedding invita-
uons for the marriage of their daugh-
ter to the accused minister, which was
to have occurred October 81.
Reverend Richeson, pastor of the
lmmanuel Baptist church of Cam
bridge, shows little indication out
Wardly of depravity or criminality
which would be expected in a man
charged with such an awful crime as
IS placed against his name today.
He is thirty-five years old. over six
