formed Christmas by NJ. E. Bilyeu
ianitor at the Linn county court house
and Edward Hilliard, Of this city
They obtained 40 pounds of honey
from big maple tree which stands
on the bank of the Calapooia river IN
Albanys Chautauqua park.
Hilliard discovered the tree last
spring, bur it was necessary to deface
the tree and perhaps kill it to get the
honey. the bees were not disturbed
Recently when the Oregon Electric
freight line was surveyed across the
corner of Chautauqua park it was DIS
covered thar the tree was in the right
of way and would have to be cut
down. so Bilyeu and Hilliard took the
honey Wednesday
The deposit of honey was about 20
feet above the ground. From the large
amount of empty comb in the tree
Pilveu estimates that had they taken
the honey in the summer before the
hees began to use it as a food supply
for the winter, they would have Cd

severe gruelling when she resumed

Earl Rogers again led the attack for
The Eddie defense, introducing a letter
rurporting to have been written by

after Bddie's arrest The letter was
the central point around which the

hear from You. have gained nine
pounds since seeing you, and feel fine.

The dandy job" was the point of
Rogers attack. Addressing the wit
ness, the defense demanded.
What did you mean by the state
ment that you had dandy job, when
you told moment ago that you had
no job on October 81"
There was a long pause, after Mrs.
Phelps whispered: 'I can't answer
that question"
Rogers insisted, but the girl refused
to reply.
Rogers then strobe between the Wit
ness and the jury box, grinning wide
ly
by a dandy job did you not mean
you had dandy job testifying agamsr
Guy Eddie?" he demanded.
Il meant nothing of the kind" the
girl snapped, glaring back at the at
torney When pressed for an explana-
tion of the statement she declared that
she did not known what she meant
She also refused to tell why she did
not explain to her husband the nature

After dwelling further on the let
ter, Rogers approached the witness

ters, too"
1t was announced today that Eddie

fense.
