You know I was afraid that he would lose his job, as they don’t allow liquor at the club. “When I insisted that we go home and said, ‘Joe, I don’t want you to get pickled,’ he struck me. “Somehow or other, when I fell, my hand rested on a large butcher knife used to cut bread.

Catch Fish in Buckets; Millions Swarm River By United Press PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 17— A smelt run was in full progress today in the Lewis*River, a Washington tributary to the Columbia. Millions upon millions of the little fish struggled upstream to their spawning grounds while fishermen with buckets and seins captured them by the thousand for food. Tons of smelt were being sent to Portland, from where box car loads were shipped into a dozen States. Although they command a price of only 3 cents a pound or less wholesale, the ease with which they can be caught makes them worth catching. The smelt is a lover of the sea. He spends most of his time there, but like the old salt he turns shoreward for family life and spawns in fresh water. Each spring, as a rule, the smelt pick the same stream. But occasionally, they pass up old grounds. This year, for example, the Cowlitz River, a Columbia tributary, was spurned because a pulp mill had been built along its shores. But the fish smarmed in the Lewis by millions. Later in the year they will reach the Sandy, just outside Portland. -

TWO MURDER VICTIMS BACK IN HOME CITY Officers at Lafayette Without Clews in Hunt for Slayers. INQUEST IN PROGRESS Dead Men’s Superior and Finders of Bodies Witnesses Today. By Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Feb. 17.—Two bullet riddled, battered bodies were brought home here early today—those of Deputy Sheriffs John P Grove and Wallace McClure. Eleven days ago they left here with two prisoners for the Indiana reformatory, never to return in life. While this city and Tippecanoe County mourns for the officers, a man hunt for John Burns and Samuel Baxter, the prisoners who killed the deputies, is being conducted on a nation-wide scale. Not since the search for Marty Durkin. Chicago's notorious “sheik bandit," has there been a hunt to compare with the present one. There were no clews today. Coroner Begins Inquiry An Inquest is being held today at Williamsport in the officers’ deaths. Sheriff C. E. Johnston Is a witness, as are Charles Abdill, R. V. Cork and Fred Oakwood, who found the bodies on Abdill’s farm, near Foster, Warren County, Thursday forenoon. Coroner Van Hamilton of Warren County announced after an autopsy held at Williamsport Thursday afternoon that there were two bullet wounds in Grove’s back under the left shoulder. McClure had been shot once through the back on the left and there were four bullet holes in his right arm. The back of his hpad was crushed. Bodies Lay on Robe When found, the left arm of Grove was clasped half way around Wallace, hi 6; right arm Wretched by his tide. The dead lav on a horsehide robe taken from the car in which the four started for the reformatory, Feb. 7. x It was only by chance that the ghastly find by Abdill and Iris companions was not made by school children, as they walk along the path within sight of the spot.

SLACK CASE IN COURT

Will Hear Oral Arguments in Suit Today. Oral argument on motions in the quo warranto suit brought by Ira M. Holmes against Mayor L. Ert Slack will be heard in Circuit Court at 2| p. m., Monday, by Judge Harry 0.1 Chamberlin. The hour was set to- j day following the filing of a demurrer in the case by Joseph L. Hogue, former city controller, who. like Holmes, is a contender for the mayorship. Hogue is co-defendant in the Holmes suit. Thursday attorneys for the mayor filed a motion to strike out from the Holmes suit the pai-agraphs charging conspiracy. The paragraphs allege that Slack plotted with Police Chief Claude M. Worley and John W. Holtzman, now corporation counsel, to have the mayor’s office declared vacant. Motion of Slack’s attorneys is based on the grounds that the conspiracy paragraphs have nothing to do with Holmes’ claim to office. The Supreme Court today set hearing on Hogue’s quo warranto suit against Slack for Thursday at 10 a. m. Hogue seeks the office on the ground that Duvall never took office, and that, as the late Mayor Shank’s city controller, succeeded to ’the office on Shank’s death. 14 DIE IN SHIP BLAST Cargo of Petroleum Explodes; Fishermen Save Twenty-one.

Foreman Reports Hopeless Deadlock, After Long Deliberation. By United Press OTTAWA, 111., Feb. 17.—Tire jury deliberating the case of Harry A. Hill, alleged matricide, was dismissed today by Judge A. Davis, whe4x they were unable to reach a verdict after nearly sixty hours deliberation. M -Judge Davis called the jury into court at 11:10 a. m. and asked H. D. Weeks, foreman, if they had been able to reach a verdict. Weeks said they were deadlocked liopelessy and a verdict seemed impossible. Other jurors then were questioned as to whether they thought a verdict could be reached and all replied in the negative.

Heilner’s experiment. “It has long been my view that only the white shark and the Barracuda will attack a white swimmer," Heilner said on leaving his home here. “Opinions vary, however, and most persons believe any kind of shark will attack a white man. Within a few weeks I hope to prove my theory correct.” While in the tropics Heilner also will attempt to bring to the surface several cannon believed to have been lost by the pirate, John Teach, otherwise known as “Blackbeard.” Several years ago Heilner detected the cannon on a coral reef In forty feet of water.

COmN, MARSH TRIAL MOVES ARE STUDIED BY STATE, IN WAKE OF JACKSON VERDICT Battle on Governor Is Ended With Order by Judge to Jury Directing Acquittal; Concealment Evidence Weak. APPEAL POSSIBILITY IS DISCUSSED 'Lot of Thinking Necessary’ in Order to Determine Action, Admits Remy; Little Hope Held for Reversal of Case. Prosecutors .today scanned the evidence in the trial oE Governor Ed Jackson, who was acquitted Thursday afternoon in Criminal Court on a technicality, in order to determine whether his co-defendants, George V. Coffin, county Republican chairman, and Robert I. Marsh, former Klan attorney and law partner of Jackson, will be tried on similar charges. Jackson’s acquittal came through a directed verdict by Special Judge Charles M. McCabe after defense attorneys presented a motion to take the case from the jury when the State rested its case Thursday morning. The directed verdict was based on insufficient evidence to show concealment. Jackson was on trial for having attempted to bribe former Governor Warren T. McCray. He was alleged to have offered McCray SIO,OOO and promised him acquittal in Indiana courts if he appointed James E. McDonald county prosecutor in 1923.

Prosecutor William H. Remy said it. will he necessary that a “lot of thinking be done” before a decision to try Coffin or Marsh is reached. He said he and Special Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson will confer soon on this and the possibility of an appeal. It was not considered likely that an appeal will be taken because Jackson has been acquitted by a jury and the only reversal that might be obtained would be one against the court’s directions to the jury. Nor was It believed Marsh or Coffin will be tried unless the State is successful in uncovering additional evidence pointing to concealment. Judge Directs Acquittal. The acquittal was on instruction of Special Judge Charles M. McCabe. It came a few minutes after he sustained a defense motion asking a directed verdict of not guilty. Lack of even “one scintilla” of evidence in support of concealment of the alleged bribe offer caused the court to sustain the motion for the fourth reason presented by defense counsel: "That there is no evidence of the alleged acts of concealment alleged In the indictment or of any of such acts, and, therefore, the evidence is insufficient to prove defendant guilty of the offense charged.” After Judge McCabe had sustained the motion and defense attorneys had submitted a form for the jury’s verdict. Special Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson sought to have the reason for the acquittal Incorporated in the verdict. “No,” Defense Attorney Clyde E. Jones contended. “It' should be ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty’.” No Concealment Shown Seeing Johnson’s eagerness to have it made clear Jackson's acquittal was on the purely technical grounds of no evidence of concealment rather than for lack of evidence to support of commission of the offense itself, McCabe said: “There can be no misunderstanding the reason for this verdict, Mr. Johnson. It is solely on the grounds that there is no legal evidence of that essential element of the crime —concealment.” The usual Criminal Court verdict blank was procured—a small slip of paper the size of a bank check—and handed over to Bailiff Clarence Clegg. Clegg handed the blank to Jury Foreman Ira A. Minnick, whose election as foreman was accomplished immediately after the court’s ruling, and Minnick signed the slip. Court Is Adjourned It was passed around the jury box, each juror reading its brief contents. Then it was passed back to Court Clerk William Kaiser, who read: “We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty as charged in the indictment.” There was not the faintest sign of a demonstration. To preserve the quiet, persons who arose to go out were waved back Into their seats. Then Judge McCabe expressed the court’s gratitude for the jury’s serv-

ice given “at a sacrifice of your liberty.” Addressing defense and State counsel he thanked them for their courtesy and consideration. At a nod from the judge, Bailiff Clegg rapped once on the bench and proclaimed: “Court stands adjourned.” Sheriff Omer Hawkins, desiring to be first to congratulate Jackson, was just back of his chair. He extended his hand and wheeled the executive around to face an aisle full of his friends. Governor Thanks Jury Smiling and thaixking them Jackson turned around to find ten of the twelve jurymen already had left the box. To Samuel H. Colbert, the Negro on the jury, the Governor accorded a warm haiidshakc and then bestowed another upon Juryman Ivan Fowler. In company with his brother, James Jackson, superintendent of the Indiana School for Feeble Minded Youths, at Ft. Wayne, and his son-in-law, Dr. Norman Beatty, the Governor was led by Deputy Sheriff Ollie Mays toward the ante-room door back of the courtroom. In the ante-room, twelve excused jurors were putting on their overcoats, joking in evident relief and with the anticipation of dinner at home. The Governor preferred his hand all around but exclamations were guarded and there was no sign of congratulations or back-slapping. Courtroom Is Crowded From 2 p. m., when court was to have reconvened, until 4 p. m., when Judge McCabe made his appearance, a crowded courtroom buzzed with anticipation. McCabe was in the law office of Bingham & Bingham, 1501 New City Trust Bldg, examining court findings which had been cited to him in the morning arguments on the motion. Jackson and Jones strolled up and down the corridor, the Governor puffing the black cigar that has been his diversion at virtually every recess during the trial. He was In an openly optimistic mood, but settled down with an at* tentive expression as Judge McCabe discussed technicalities of court findings in five law volumes placed on the bench. Judge Sums Up Findings He summed up his findings by saying: “I have decided in all sincerity to fulfill my obligations to the constitution and the laws of the State. “As I see it, there is nothing a scintilla of evidence in this case in support of the charge of concealment. “When I re-examined the evidence and the law I did so with an open mind, not wishing tp follow my previous opinions. “It Is my judgment that the motion must be sustained.” Near the close of his ruling the court opened fire on the Ku-Klux Klan. “It isn’-t necessary to refer to the fact that the representations alleged in the indictment shouldn’t have been especially considered by a man in the position of McCray,” he said. “McCray was influential and was holding tl)e highest office in the State. Klan Is Assailed “The allegations contained in the Indictment are an indictment against all the people of the State of Indiana in that the Indictment charges an intelligent man could believe the Ku-Klux could influence court verdicts. “I am fully aware of the slime and disgrace that has been brought on the State by that organization. I have talked of it and thought of it in this way ever since that organization first started and I still say it. There is nothing more regrettable In the history of the State and it has resulted in the disgrace of the State of Indiana.” Jackson’s attorney, immediately after said Jackson had Aat
