TO ARGUE APPEAL CASE
Attorneys Attempting to Secure New
Trial for SpanOs and Seymour
on Murder Charge.

Medford, July 12.-City Attorney
R. B. McCabe and Hugh De Almond
left last night for Salem to argue
the Spanos and Seymour appeal be-
fore the supreme court.
According to Mr.. McCabe there is
strong likelihood that Prosecuting
Attorney E. E. Kelly will have the
retrial of this murder case in a short
time.
1T is generally admitted" said
Mr.. McCabe, that the most extreme
third degree methods were used
against both Spanos and Seymour
Mike was kept in the Polly cell alone
for ten days, his rations were re-
duced according to Jail inmates, and
then he was told that Seymour had
been arrested and made a confession
duplicating Mike. This was untrue
and the methods were barborous.
When they forced Mike to make this
confession they arrested Seymour
and went through the same proceed
ing, allowed him no preliminary ex-
animation for eight days, turned out
the lights and made such weird OBJ.
servations as Hold up your hands,
See the blood running down. ETC.
According to Mr.. McCabe, former
Prosecuting Attorney Mulkey admits
that the methods used by formel
Sheriff Jones and certain newspaper
men were unjustified and liable tt
bring about new trial.
Spanos and Seymour were convict
ed of murder in the first degree bu
the sentence of death was postponed
by the filing of appeal to the supreme
court. They were convicted of tn,
murder of George Dedaskalous, fel
low Greek, nearly a year ago.

IN DIVORCE COURT.
Several Cases Heard by Judge Cal.
kins Saturday.

Mail Tribune: This was divorce
day in the circuit court at Jackson
Vile and five cases were disposed of
before noon.
No appearance was entered on be-
half of any of the defendants, all
the plaintiffs claiming on the ground
of desertion. The incorporating de-
PENDANTS were represented by the
state in the person of the district at
torney, and the witnesses were sub
jected to searching cross-examina-
tion by that officer and by Judge
Calkins.
Three male parties to the matri-
monial contract claimed more than
years abandonment of the home on
the part of the so-called better half,
while two women claimed willful de-
sertion on the part of the husband.
Two of the marriages were child
less. In all of them there was no
real or personal property involved.
One marriage, the result of matri-
monial agency ad, failed utterly of
domestic happiness after a month of
married life. In this case the papers
filed by the attorney for the plain
tiff somewhat confused the name of
defendant and the court was unable
to determine just who the plaintiff
wanted a divorce from. The decree
in this case was held up until the
plaintiff could correct the tangle of
names to the satisfaction of the
court.
The plaintiffs in the following
cases were awarded DEGREES except
in the White case, which was held
up:
Edmund D. White VS.. Ethel D.
White.
Helen E. Curtis VS.. William c. Cur
tbs.
Martin Carlson VS.. Matte Carlson.
Mona V. Dunlap VS.. Wilford Dun
lap.
James A. Reese VS.. Maggie. Reese.
Judge Calkins issued a call for the
grand jury for July IS, upon the re-
quest of District Attorney Kelly, and
the grand jury will in all probability
be convened for one day to relieve
the Jail of four or five bound over
prisoners who are anxious to enter
pleas of guilty and take their SEN
tences.

MEDFORD MAKES A BIG HIT
Continued from Page One.)

He was heartily applauded and as an
encore sang comic song, Alone,
Alone" which was a button burster.
Again recalled, he gave the delight
full dialect recitation, Little Batiste."
The duet, Calm as the Night"
(GoetzD, by Mr.. and Mrs. George An
drews, was a number that was of the
highest order. This was followed
by the chorus in Kipling's "Reces-
sional' Emusic by Schneiker), which
was beautifully rendered.
The program closed with a para
phrase of Kentucky Home" by the
Page Theatre Orchestra, the singers
from Medford joining in the chorus
of the beloved song.
If there were any numbers on the
program which the people of Ashland
did not insist upon having repeated
it was not because they did not enjoy
and appreciate them, but because
they feared to impose upon the Med
ford people who had so kindly fur
nished the Chautauqua such a de-
lightful afternoon.
Great credit is to be given to Sec
retary Ware of the Medford CONNER
cial Club, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Andrews,
and to the ladies of the Greater Med
f I'd Club for the success of the af-
fair, and they have laid the people
of Ashland under a lasting obliga-
ton
At the close of the program the
Chautauqua salute was given, fol-
lowed by the salutation, What the
matter with Medford?" "She's all
right" who's all right?" Med
ford!" Which compliment was heart
lily returned in like manner by the
Medford contingent.
During the program President Bill
lings introduced Col. George w. Balm
to the audience, who spoke very
briefly and touchingly of this, prob
ably his last visit to Ashland. He
gave the following original verses
composed on the spur of the mo-
ment:
Its been my lot this land to roam
Ger every state 'twixt oceans foam
But still my heart clings to its home
Kentucky.
"Tve travelled the prairies of the
west,
I've seen each section at it's best,
There's nothing like my native nest
Kentucky.
'No matter through what states
pass,
No matter how the people class,
To me there's only one blue grass,
Kentucky.
when my wanderings here are o'eI
And my spirit seeks the golden
shore,
Then keep my dust forever more,
Kentucky"
Continuing, Colonel Balm said: "If
l could not live in Kentucky, then,

these healthful lines of latitude
where soil is so productive, where !
find the climax of Gods handiwork
