Port Merger Opposed

Although sentiment aroused in other
parts of the state seem to have ended
the proposed move to pass bill in the
legislature for merging into one port
all communities bordering on the
Columbia river, Hood River men have
been made wary, and any further
effort to arouse sentiment for the mer.

posed to such a move, which they say
may result in heavy tax from Hood
River without commensurate returns.

WEBSTER GUILTY
IN FIRST DECREE
OF BOYS MURDER
Jury Is: Out But 80 Minutes.
Defendant Takes Verdict
Without Emotion.
GETS SENTENCE LATER
Wife and Daughter-in-Law
In Court But Display No
Sympathy.

Charles Ross Webster wac found
guilty in the first degree of the
murder of Richard Duvall, on June
7, by a jury in Criminal Division
No. /. yesterday afternoon. The
jury was out but thirty minutes.
Webster was remanded to Jail to
await sentence.
Webster faced the court stoically
with the same blank stare he has
displayed during the trial. when the
jury filed back into the COURTROOM.
He accepted the verdict without
emotion or the least tremor of an
eyelid.
1t is expected that Justice Gould
will call Webster before him in
about a week for sentence.
Examine Revolver.
One of the jurymen interrupted
Attorney Smith at one juncture to
ask permission to examine the re-
volver which was used to kill Duvall
and which Webster yesterday de-
clared went off accidentally"
Justice Gould also asked to see the
revolver. They all found that 1t
stuck and it was decidedly improb-
able that it slipped off, as Webster
declared.
The defense admitted that Web
ster had lied. but tried to prove
that his lies were lies OF a diseased
mind.
Mrs. Webster. the defendant :
wife. whom he left three years ago
together with her daughter-in-law
and the ,attet's sIiftie.siri. were IN
the courtroom yesterday morning
but they showed no emotion when
the defendant stood before the jury

BILLY DANSEY'S TOYS, UNTOUCHED,
WAIT ON HIS HOME PARLOR FLOOR
by BEATRICE JACKSON.

Hammonton, N, J.. Oct. 30,-Mrs.
mother of the little boy who mystic
riously disappeared from his home
on the morning of October s, is one
of the bravest little women I ever saw.
She is young. fair slender. of me-
dunn height. Her eyes are saddened
and tired. but still brave and still
Billy.
| She is stunned. yet she waits and
| hopes. and will do so until the last
vestige of hope is gone. believing
with that wonderful intuition Of
mother-love. that her little baby is
somewhere on the continent.
She prays man. times a day for
his safety and well-being and speedy
return to her arms.
She is Just keeping up by sheer
strength of will power. for she never
! sleeps.
| She does not remove her clothing
at night. lest she rest too well. for
even at night she waits for him.
night after night, keeps vigil, hoping
and praying.
/ When / spoke words of comfort and
encouragement. she smiled. a wan.
sad little smile wrung from the
depths of her broken heart.
Billy's toys are scattered in the
little parlor just as he left them.
when clad in a faded little blue
suit, black shoes and stockings,
brown sweater and his daddy's base
ball cap. he went to play out-of-
doors and never came back.
The little home had just been set
tied when Billy disappeared.
The Danseys had only lived there
month.
What a happy little home it was
when Billy laughed and played
about: but what a sad and desoiate
little home now!
Mr.. Dansey, too, is firm I'm the
belief that Billy has been kidnapped.
that he Is held alive somewhere. and
he treasures his wife and helps keep
her courage up by telling her that
their baby is being well treated.
The thought of harm to her baby
would surely break the brave. sweet
spirit of that poor, heart-broken.
crushed little mother. who still hopes
and can only sit and wait.
