GHOST OF MAN HE KILLED HAUNTS PITCHER

Haunted by the ghost of the
man he killed with a fast ball,
Casey Hagerman, bought from the
Denver club by the Boston Red
Sox,. is afraid to let himself out,
for fear he will kill another.
1t was in the last game of the
Central leagues 1909 season that
Hagerman killed a player. Hag-
erman, pitching for Grand Rapids,
was wild and one of the batsmen
failed to get away from the ball.
He was hit over the heart and
dropped dead.
Hagerman would have retired
from baseball but Jack Hendricks
became manager of Denver and he
signed him. 1t was not until the
middle of this season that he re-
gained his nerve. Then he be-
came a terror to Western league
batsmen, striking out man after
man. President Taylor of the
Red Sox bought him for $4,000.
Before Hagerman Joined the
new team, he had the misfortune
to hit Stem of Sioux City. 1t was
believed Stem would die, but ne
recovered.
Hagerman's nerve was gone for

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. DIR.
Owen Ryan shot and killed his wife
at their home this morning and then
committed suicide by shooting him
self through the heart. His two sons
were upstairs at the time of the trag-
edy. DR.. Ryan had been acting
queerly Of late, and his wife and
sons had been consulting a friend
with the view of having DR.. Ryan
removed to an asylum.
The murder and suicide occurred
just as the couple were about to
partalSe of the morning meal. Their
two sons were dressing in an up
stairs room. c. D. Ryan, the older
boy, grabbed a shotgun and rushed
downstairs. He was Mortified to see
his mother lying at the foot of the
stairs, a gaping wound in her head.
His father lay across a dining room
chair with bullet through his heart.
DR.. Ryan and family moved to
Los Angeles from Springfield, ILL.,,
two months ago, and purchased a
handsome house on South Fowler
street, fashionable residence dis
trict.
A week ago Mrs. Ryan complained
that the physician was acting queer
ly. AS no improvement was noticed
in his condition, Mrs. Ryan and her
sons yesterday consulted a friend
relative to having her husband COM
mitted to an asylum. In some un-
explained manner DR.. Ryan learned
of his wife's intentions, and chided
her about the matter at the break
fast table. Mrs. Ryan attempted to
leave the room, but was intercepted
by her husband at the foot of the
stairs. He held 38-calibre revolv-
er in his hand. Taking deliberate
aim, he fired. The bullet penetrated
the brain. Mrs. Ryan died without
a gasp Ryan returned to the din
ing room, sat down in a chair and
ended his own life.

Richmond can tell you where he is"
If the witness is brought in, it is
probable that Henry Beattie will not
be summoned to the stand today.
Besides Beattie, resuming the
stand, strengthened the contention OF
the defense that the blood spots on
the gun were not caused by the pris-
oner's handling, by stating that he
had handled the gun after the trag-
edy, when his hands were covered
with blood, as result of having
driven the automobile. At this
point Smith was again called to the
telephone, returning shortly after
ward to confer with his client.
Douglas cross-examination then
began and the effect of his testimony
was utterly ruined when responding
to one of the prosecutors questions,
he declared heatedly:
''If I had known the turn this case
has taken I would have eliminated
the blood spots and would not have
carried the detectives to the scene OF
the murder. l would have destroyed
evidence that was to be used against
my brother" '"
The witness also admitted having
carried a message from the defend
ant to Beulah Binford, in which
Henry told the girl to not forget him
1t is rumored, however, that Smith
has discovered and will summon as
his witness a man who was motoring
along the Midlothian turnpike with a
party of joy riders on the night OF
the tragedy 1t is believed that the
defense will seek to prove that the
car which the states witnesses said
they saw standing beside the road was
not Beattie's but that of the joy.
riders.
Examination of Beattie's automo-
/ bile this afternoon by experts brought
to light a few strands of Mrs. Beat

! the right hand seat. This was the

Is the legal contest being waged
by the city against the Portland, Eu-
gene & Eastern Railroad company
for the forfeiture of its franchise in
reality but battle between the Hill
and Hartman lines for supremacy
in the city, with the former employ
ing the council to make its fight on
the latter? 'itF-
Go and ask that question Of the
masses, and you will receive almost
any kim of answer you desire.
They realize that the railroad germ
Is in the air, and each one has his
diagnosis for the case, and seldom
is 1t that they agree. u
But go and ask those close to the
railroad situation in the city-those
close enough to observe the under
current, and you will receive but one
reply, and that is that It is not only
the beginning of fight between the
two roads for supremacy in the city
but beginning of fight for su-
premacy in the Willamette valley
and that Salem is destined to be the
greatest battlefield Of the fight.
This Is What They Say.
The Oregon Electric, say these OBJ
servers of the railroad situation in
the city and the valley, is not only
planning to net the valley with cleo
trio lines, but has already taken q
step in that direction by placing
agents in the field to purchase a right
Of way to Albany. This extension is
hVt n thpnod thAwy In, fhn rai
road web which the Hi system pur-
poses TO weave In the Willamette
valley.
Realizing the vast Importance of
the valley and the millions of dollars
to be reaped from it in passenger and
freight traffic, the Hartman sys-
TEN, they say, is planning to COM
bat the move of the Hill lines by
building number of lines in the
valley, and probably will electrify
the west line, and the first skirmish
of that battle, they say, is now talk
ing places over franchises in the
city.
The Situation.
The Oregon Electric owns a fran
chise on Front street. The s. p. also
owns one, but 1t will expire next
month. The forfeiture suit filed in
the circuit court against the Port
land, Eugene & Eastern involves a
franchise owned by that company on
the same street.
Evidently realizing that the coun-
Gil was adverse to a renewal IL the
franchise, or believing that 1t was,
the s. P. made arrangements to turn
its track on the street over to the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern, on con-
dition that 1t might be used by the

San Francisco, Sept. How i'm
prisonment in the state penitentiary
sometimes works to the detriment and
not the reform of a young man, is
seen here today in the arrest of John
Raymond Hope, 20, who only yester-
day completed a two-year term at San
Quentin prison on charge of assault
with a deadly weapon.
Hope was given s. and a suit of
clothes with which to make his new
start in the world After a fruitless
days search for work he spent his
money for liquor and was caught in
the act of stealing $50 from r. NJ.
Robertson, who invited him to share
his lodgings.
Policemen who arrested Hope on
the first offense say he should have
been handled by the juvenile court
rather than sent to the penitentiary.

S. P. for switching and other pur-
popses Hardly had this fact be-.
come known before an agitation,
having as its source the Hill people.
so 1t is said, was started against the
Portland. Eugene & Eastern, With
the result that the council repealed
the ordinance granting the fran
chise to the company, and a suit has
been commenced In the circuit court
for its forfeiture. So urgent seems
the necessity Of having this fran
chlse declared forfeited that special
counsel has been employed by the
city to assist the city attorney.
Franchise Valuable to s. p.
The present track of the S. P. on
Front street Is used for switching
purposes, and the use of the fran
chise OF the Portland, Eugene &
, Eastern would be valuable for the
same purpose. It might even mean
more than that, for should the s. P.
electrify its west line IL might serve
as connection with the road in this
city. The Salem, Falls City & West
ern is friendly to. IL not controlled
by the S. P. The line to be built
from Dallas to Toledo, 1t is said, is
an s. P. project, and connecting these
up, and connecting the Salem, Falls
City & Western with the company's
line here the Portland, Eugene &
Eastern franchise. either on Front
or Center street might be of immense
value.
Oregon Electric Awake.
80 ,,aI,,o kLn nArA
land, Eugene G. Eastern franchise
may be to the S. p, the fact that It
is interested in 1t is sufficient reason
for the Oregon Electric to fight It.
1t is said by those conversant with
the situation that the fine italian
hand of the Hill management is now
seen in the fight made in the courts
on the Portland, Eugene & Eastern,
and that 1t will be seen until the
last tribunal Is reached. It Is said
that should the S. p ask for a re-
newal OF its franchise, that the same
hand will be seen at work in the
council pulling wires, and that a re-
newal will not be granted.
May Retaliate.
Before long, 1t is said, the s. P.
may become tired of the battle
waged upon It, and retallate by con-
testing the right of the oregon Elec-
tries franchise on Front stret. When
this franchise was granted the ac-
ceptance was to be filed In 80 days,
but 1t was not filed for three months.
and It is said that this may be
ground for having 1t declared null
and void.
