The attempted defence was that
the deceased had abused the respond
ent and that the respondent was
afraid of the deceased. The defence
| put on a large number of witnesses
but the record will show what kind of
| purposes these witnesses were. AMI
even taking their evidence at it's face
value, it indicated only that there had
| been more or less trouble between the
| respondent and the deceased, and that
the respondent showed no fear of the
deceased. Evidence of the State show
! ed that the deceased had often as
sisted the respondent and befriended
him in many ways, that he had often
gone bail for the respondent and
helped him on occasions when the re-
spondent was arrested. and that the
respondent, though only a young man,
had bad criminal record.
"A perusal of the evidence will shon
that the killing was deliberate and
premeditated.
! THE evidence submitted by the re-
spondent strengthened the case OF the
State by showing a motive on the
part of the respondent.

Arguments were made Wednesday in
the law court on the motion for. new
trial in the case of State VS.. Michael ].
Mulkern, alias Michael j. Mulkerrin of
Portland. who was convicted of murder
in causing the death of his brother, Pat
rick j. Mulkern, at Portland July q last.
The attorneys for the respondent are ia
cob II. Berman, Harry E. Nixon and
Benjamin l.. Berman, all of Portland.
The contention of the respondent is that
the motion for a new trial should be sus-
tanned for the following reasons: First,
because the verdict is against the weight
of the evidence. Second, because the YER
dict is against the charge of the presiding
Justice Third, because justice demands
that a new trial should be granted.
Counsel for the respondent argued as
followsi As to the first proposition. Be
cause the verdict is against the weight of
the evidence" The evidence conclusiveiy
shows by the testimony of all the wit
nesses both for the defence and the pros
ecution that the respondent was at all
times in deathly fear of the deceased.
The evidence conclusively shows that the
deceased was a man described as over
go pounds; he was man of mature
years and a man of vicious character and
of a bad reputation for peacefulness in
the community where he lived. The re-
spondent was a boy. Is years old. stand
ing about five feet eight inches and
weighing about 40 pounds.
The evidence of the police officers con-
elusively shows that the mind of the re-
spondent was continually overcome by
threats, and actual physical violence ad-
ministered to him by the deceased.
The testimony of the officers in the case
show that on several occasions the re-
spondent had sought protection from the
hands of his brother at the police station,
and from the officers on the beat; that
on several occasions the deceased had
chased the respondent through the streets
with knives, bricks and revolvers, and
had actually chased him into the arms of
Police Officer OBrien, and on several
other occasions had chased him onto the
street cars and through the streets of the
city of Portland.
On the night of the alleged murder
about 10 or Is minutes before the actual
murder aforesaid officer Dingley testified
that he saw the respondent; that he was
excited, and that he asked Dingley for
protection; that he went off in frenzy,
and within Is minutes after that time the
alleged murder had been committed.
The testimony of the witnesses for the
respondent relating to the affairs of the
night of the alleged murder shows con-
clusively that the deceased had that night
attempted to assault Michael and had
chased him into store at the corner of
India and Middle streets in said Port
land, and had forced the respondent to

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-David
Belasco certainly has the courage
of his convictions, and little bit
more, when he offers Frances
Starr in 1.-THE Secret"
OF all the queer theatrical
dishes to set before an American
audience, this play of Henri Bern
STEMS is one Of the very queer
est. Its central figure Is Gabrielle
Jannelot, a woman who seems to
be all that Is good and unselfish
and Iovable. She has been hap
PLY married for twelve years;
her husband adOres her. She has
a friend, Henrietta Durand, to
whom she seems to be devotion
itself.
But all this is only a mask.
The real Gabrielle is a monster,
a fiend. She is obsessed by a
strange mania. She cannot bear
to see anyone whom she loves
happy, unless she is the author
of that happiness. She has secret
ly stirred up a bitter quarrel be-
tween her husband and his sis
ter. She has been responsible for
two tragedies in the life of Hen
riette, because she could not bear
to see any man make Henriette
happy.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-01-06

The climax OF her devilment is
reached when. after Henriette
has finally made a happy mar
riage, Gabrielle contrives to bring
under one roof, at her aunt's
summer home, the bridal couple
and former lover of Henriette's.
There Is awful trouble. Henri
cites happiness is completely
wrecked. Both the men are near
ly driven mad by the revelations
which come out when the storm
breaks. But, at last, the trouble
maker has over-reached herself.
Her own depraved moral nature Is
revealed, in all its hideousness, to
her friends, her husband-every
one.
Then she becomes a pitiable OBJ
ject, duplicating. pleading that
she always wanted to be good.
but was ruled by cruel impulses
stronger than herself. Loathing
finally gives way to pity in the
bosom of her husband. He first
devotes himself to reconciling
Henriette's deceived husband and
his heart-broken bride.
One reason why this unusual
study in morbid psychology is at
tracing very good houses to the
Belasco theater is, doubtless, the

BY GERTRUDE M. PRICE
HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. O. -
A great twentieth century temple
Is being built out here under the
clear, blue Southern California
skies that a modern Samson may
shatter IL to the ground.
A modern Delilah, DelfIah-like
only in beauty, has come all the
way from New York, from coast
TO coast, to be a spectator and a
participator!
To be more explicit the story
of Samson and Delilah, the Bibli-
cal story with all its dramatic
values and scenic spectacles, is
now in the process of being trans
ferred to the moving picture
screen.
Vivid scenes and striking eli
makes, in which the destruction
of the temple and the Staying of
the Philistines will be graphic
ally and realistically portrayed,
are now being made.
The production is staged by J..
Farrell Mcdonald at the big west
coast studios of the Universal
Film company. The scenario was
written by M. De La Parelle.
The role of Samson, the strong
man, is being interpreted by j.
Warren Kerrigan, whose popu-
larity as a movie" idol Is as far
famed as the photopIay itself. To
give added interest to the film,
Katherine Kerrigan. Jacks sister,
is playing opposite him in the
character of Delilah.
BY special arrangements, she
left the "Everywoman" company
in New York, with which she has
been playing for the last year, to
take this part in the one picture.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-01-06

After she has finished Il she will
return to New York and to the
company.
Real Building
To those who question the real
expense and work attached to the
production of a big picture play
like Samson and Delilah" this
picture. showing a scene in the
process Of construction, may be
very interesting.
Real carpenters, real nails,
real saws, real hammers and real
lumber-lots Of II - were being
used in the building OF the tenn
pie the day / visited the west
coast studios. I saw the men at
work just as you see them here.
Kerrigan and Director McDon-
aid both told me than there would
be something like 600 people used
in the picture for the big scenes.
They estimated the cost of pro-
ducing the temple scene, alone, at
about $4,000, and the cost of the
entire picture at $4,000.
They figured about a month
for the construction of buildings,
props and scenery for the picture.
and another month for produc-
ton. The completed picture will
be in four reels. The story will
follow the Biblical story quite
closely, being as accurate In cos
tuning and scenes as time,
thought and money can make
them.
