granted general amnesty "in re-

ted in ireland prior to the opera
ton Of the truce last July" it was
announced today. The release OF
prisoners will begin at once. 4
The text of the proclamation,
which was issued by Winston
Churchill, secretary for the colon
les, reads:
"The king has been pleased, at
the moment when the provisional
Irish government is due to take
office to grant general amnesty
with respect to all offenses COM
mitted in Ireland from political
motives prior to the operation OF
the truce July II, last.
"The release of the prisoners to
which amnesty applies, will begin
forthwith.
SIT is the kings confident hope
that this act of oblivion will aid
in powerfully establishing rela-
tions of friendship and good will
between the people of Great Brit
ain and Ireland"
Figures given out in Dublin last
night, in anticipation of the ainy
nesty proclamation, showed that
1910 persons who probably would
come under the classification OF

Testimony In
Osborne Case
Closes Today

Testimony in the $4,000 damage
suit brought by M. S. Ramp
against &. G. Osborne as the re-
suit Of an automobile accident
July 2 at the intersection of the
Brooks-Mt. Angel road and Pa
cific highway, ended this morn
ing in the circuit court, and at
torneys for Osborne, the Oregon
Rubber company, alleged employ
er Of Osborne, and Homer Ross,
alleged owner of the car which
Osborne at the time was driving,
filing motion for directed ver-
dict on practically the same
grounds that their motion for nom
suit was filed yesterday.
Judge Percy Kelly overruled the
motion with practically the same
reasons for oyerruling the motion
for dnon-suit, except that he enter
ed into prolonged argument
with Conner, of McMinnville, rep
resent,ng Ross, over the condi-
tional sales contract which in
volved the ownership of the ma
chimes
Conner in asking for a directed
verdict based his statements on
the agreement between Osborne
and Ross wherein Osborne was to
take the car if he could not find
a purchaser and, second, that
while Ross might be the owner
Osborne was in unlawful posses
sion of it at the time of the acei-
dent. Judge Kelly Immediately
called attention to the conflicting
statements and said that under a
conditional sales contract the sell
Ter was usually the acknowledged
possessor of the article until the
last payment had been made.
The technical questions of the
case are so involved that it is es-
timated that it will take the at
torneys for the defense and plain
tiff five hours to present their ar
guments for requested in
structions from court to jury,
there being three suits involved,
that of M. S. Ramp, his wife, Mel
lie Ramp and his son, Robert
Malcolm Ramp, naming all three
of the defendants in each COM
plant.
Attorneys in the case state that
lit will be tomorrow night at the
earliest before a verdict can be
returned by the jury.
