obtained new trial after being con-
victed and sentenced to nine years in
the penitentiary Miss Matthews had
been called to the stand when she fir
ed. "He disgraced me. ruined my
health and deprived me of school
privileges" she stated after killing
him; but he will never ruin another
GIRL
Crosslin was on trial charged with
a criminal assault on Miss Matthews.
The jury had been selected and the
girl was called as the first witness.
AS she took the stand she turned
and fired at the defendant who was
sitting across the table from her.
Crosslin crumpled to the floor and
died almost instantly A deputy sher-
iff snatched the pistol from tho girl q
hand and carried her from the court
room to the sheriff's office. Cross
lin had been tried once before on the
same charge, but the case was re-
nanded to the court of appeals be-
cause a woman was on the grand
jury which indicted him. Then the
jury reindicted him. The offense was
alleged to have been committed at
Miss Matthews home in Waco year
ago. Her father and brother were
here attending the trial. Crosslin
was married, has several children

The 'Fitful Fourteen" and the Pen
dleton spirit known of old and also
manifested in slightly different form
towards Portland on certain recent is
sues were discussed both seriously and
in jocular mood by Edgar B. Piper,
editor OF the Oregonian, at the forum
luncheon by the Commercial associa-
,tion today. The speaker paid his COM
pliments to Senator Rltner, who pre-
sided, and called attention to the fact
that the number fourteen has at times
been found unfortunate. He praised
the local senator's work as legislator,
however, and declared Umatllla coun-
" would make no mistake in bringing
about his reelection.
During his address Mr.. Piper refer
red to the fact Portland and Eastern
Oregon have been historical allies in
the past and intimated that should
this ancient friendship be permanently
disturbed the results might be un-
pleasant for Eastern Oregon.
Other speakers at the luncheon to-
day included Phil Metschan, proprie-
tor of the Imperial hotel. l.. II. Wheel

and Donald Sterling, managing editor
Of the oregon Journal. All the visit
ors are returning to Portland from

es Umatilla, Morrow. Gillian and

representative of this district consists
of Principal Elmer Goodwin of the
Milton High school; Supt. Howard

lathletcs at Whitman, has been secur-
ed to officiate in the district games
