MAE MORGAN WILL NOT
HANG FOR YORK MURDER

In view OF the fact that Governor
Oswald West is quoted al saying
that there will be no more hangings
In Oregon as long as he Ia governor
OF this state. Mike Morgan will not
hang for the murder of John e.
York In Grants Pass; that 10 Morgan
will not hang II Governor West has
been quoted correctly. Morgan was
found guilty OF murder In the frst
degree and sentenced to hang Jan
uary next. He is now at Salem
waiting execution.
Governor West recently commuted
to life Imprisonment the murderer
Webb, and Webb is now In the peni-
tentiary running" a newspaper.
The governor gives as his reason
for not allowing an execution that
such a method is. In his opinion,
"a relic OF barbarous and medieval
ages and not In accordance with the
enlightened spirit OF the twentieth
century"

REPRESENTS INVESTMENT OF
OVER Sixty THOUSAND
TESTING OUT THE PLANT
Capacity Sufficient to Supply City
-Four Times the Present
Population.

In Grants Pass within the next
two weeks gas will be turned on In
the mains Of the Oregon Gas and
Electric company when, 1t is claimed
it will cut cost of lighting practically
one half. In an interview Saturday
with Thomas d. Pitch, engineer and
general manager for the company,
that gentleman had this to say to
The Courier:
For the size of the plant there Is
nothing on the coast any better; In
fact, l debut II there is any as good.
That is not only my opinion, but
1t is the opinion of several gas men
who have looked the plant over care
fully. If Grants Pass should wake
up some morning and find itself just
four times its present size, It would
not cause us one moments trouble
or loss of time. We have spared
nothing In making the plant the best
there is.
'"The plant has cost the company
more than $50. 900 and is not practi-
cally completed. Originally 1t was
planned to spend around $4,000,
but we have tried to make It the best
that can be built for Its size and the
cost has run up.
"All we now have to do Ia to test
things out and heat up the generator.
There are over 10000 hre bricks In
II. We have two Of these, one for
emergency purposes, and II takes
about a week to heat one of them In
starting up. Our daily capacity will
be $50. 200 cubic feet Of gas, and we
will be ready to deliver gas not later
than two weeks from today.
I'VE have rented the store build
ing on North Sixth street. formerly
occupied by the Gibson garage, and
IL four or Ave days will have II in
shape, and on hand a good supply OF
all kinds Of gas appliances. such as
ranges, water heaters. and arc lamps.
I'VE are not In the hardware bust
ness, and do not wish to In any way
interfere with their business, but
we handle all these goods at their
absolute cost to us-that is without
cent profit. We do this because
we know people have stoves now and
the additional expense caused by
putting In gas VIC try to make as
light as possible.
81 might say that our gas plant
here is practically as large as the
one at Medford, which supplies gas
for both Medford and Ashland. The
plant burns oil exclusively as do all
plants on the coast"

Is This True?

LOS ANGELES, Dec. Ito the
mystery already surrounding the Nc
Namara trial came sudden sensa-
tion in the courtroom today. Judge
Bordwell had finished qualifying the
18th venire when District Attorney
Fredericks arose and said:
your honor, an important devel-
opment makes II necessary TO ask
for a continuance OF this case until
2 o'clock this afternoon. The peo-
pie have not before asked for any
time, but right now II is imperative
that we have II. Public interest de-
mands that we be given until
o'clock before we 80 on with the
lawsuit"
Darrow made no objection, and
the continuance was ordered.
When Fredericks was asked what
the adjournment meant, he bristled
angrlly and said "If the matter
was so important that ] would not
confide the reason TO the court, you
can hardly expect that will let any
one else know"
Rumor Immediately got busy and
a report that more important arrests
in connection with the Franklin Uri'
berry case we're imminent were circu'
lated. II was very plain from the
serious conferences between counsel
for the defense that they placed a
serious construction on the develop
ments In The courtroom. sns thsi

OPERA HOUSE WILL
BE SUFFICIENTLY WARMED

Manager Tom Fuson Of the Grants
Pass opera house asks the Courier to
state that no more chilly sensations
will be the lot Of the patrons OF the
house hereafter as a result OF In
sufficient heating.
During the hours that the Third
Degree" was under way last Friday
evening those who we're to care for
the heating became so much absorbed
in the play that they neglected their
duty Mr.. Fuson says II will per-
sonally look after the heating here
after, and no one need lear another
cold room"

they we're prepared for any eventu-
ality.
Later there was report circu-
lated that today's developments
might reruit in one OF the sworn
Jurors in the case being eliminated.
Il was impossible 10 get any state
ment from anyone In this ccnnec-
tIon, although some OF thote who cir
culated the rumor had no heeItancy
in naming the individual that they
shoushs wss eouesrnsl. s't

spent socially and In solving the
mysteries OF a muslcal-term game.
A large number Of names we're en-
rolled as members OF the club.

with the rest. He wont go free. Prob
ably he will plead guilty to the In
dictment charging him with explod-
ing dynamiting at the Baker Iron
Works and be sentenced for that"
The scene was intensely dramatic
as the'pleas of the two men were en-
tered. t
Outside the attorneys in the room
not single soul but Judge Bordwell
had had any intimation of what was
coming. Men and women sat bolt
uprightran painful pause followed.
Judge Bordwell quickly announced
that he would impose sentence at 10
O'Clock next Tuesday morning, which
curiously enough, is election day.
The same procedure was then gone
through with John ]. Mcnamara.
Although he was actually in India
ma at the time the dynamite was
placed under the Llewellyn Iron
Works, he was an accessory before
the fact and therefore his plea was
entered as that of principal in be-
ing guilty of having actually
placed the dynamite. He, like his
brother, was impassive. It was
plain that both of them had realized
that the end had come and that they
had made up their minds that they
would accept the developments as
"all in the days work"
There was a slight hesitancy In
the courtroom, and then Judge Bord-
we'll remanded the two prisoners to
the custody of the sheriff. AS they
were led out of the room, District
Attorney Fredericks was hurriedly
surrounded by a group of friends,
none of whom was quite as enthusi-
astic as was Mrs. Fredericks, a beau
tiful woman. She congratulated her
husband heartily on the outcome Of
the case which meant so much to
him. Others crowded about to ring
his hand, but the veteran prosecutor
refused to be carried away with his
success.
II have simply won another mur-
der case was all he cared to say
Crowd About barrow.
Clarence Darrow and his assist
ants were surrounded with a crowd
who wanted the real reason. The
chief counsel for the defense had
plainly suffered the hardest blow in
his entire career. The deep lines on
his face were accentuated by pallor
like a man In death agonies. He had
little to say, although he promised
that he would make a formal state
ment later IN the DAY.
Atterth courtroom Lad been
cleared, Judge Bordwell sent for the
members of the Jury and dismissed
them.
Judge Bordwell was well pleased.
1T is a great load off my mind"
he said. There has been a great
deal that was trying in this entire
case"
Is This True?
LOS ANGELES, Dec. In his
confession James B. Mcnamara said:
II put the dynamite under the
Times, and 1t must have hit a gas
main because the terrible explosion
which followed scared me more than
II did anyone else. was the most
surprised man that ever lived as /
had not expected any great damage
would be done"
