GOES ONTRIALIN WAIL THEFT GASE D'Autremont, Principal, Is Charged With Murder Jacksonville, Ore., May 2 (UP)— Hugh D'Autremont, alleged train dynamiter, went on trial for his life in circuit court here today. _'The dapper youth who was the ob- ject of an international search for more than three years, appeared to be in his usual good spirits as the session opened at 10 o'clock this morning. He still maintained his academic intereg in the procedure, for Hugh intends to become a lawyer it he is successful in his legal battle to escape the gallows or confinement in & federal prison. Four counts of first degree murder are against D'Autremont and his twin brothers, Ray and Roy. Hugh is being tried on only one but the vesult of it probably will determine the fate of all four counts. But even though the fight for life | is won, D,Autremont will not go free. It the state fails to hang him, fed- cral authorities will claim the pris- oner and the scene will be shifted to Portland for trial in the United States Court on charges of attempted robbery of a mail train. 1f Hugh is convicted at-the state trial here, the penalty is death by hanging. If he is freed here and is convicted at the subsequent federal trial, the maximum sentence will be 25 years in prison. The trial of Hugh D'Autremont brings to a climax one of the most noted crimes in the history of Ore- son, involving the murder of four men and the endangering of the lives of scores of others. On October 11, 1923, a Southern Pacific train left the little station of Siskiyou, near the Oregon-California line and rolled Into a death trap. Entering Siskiyou tunnel, a bore in the mountains half a mile long, it was held up. Three trainmen, resisting attack, were shot down in cold blood, A large charge of dynamite was placed | in the mail car, the car was wrecked and the mail clerk was killed. Authorities and special investiga- tors assumed at once that the crime was the work of amateurs. It was 100 bloody, they said, and the over- charge of cxplosive denoted a lack of experience. Had the train carried valuable loot, which {t didn't, it vould have been torn to shreds by the force of the blast. Suspicion did not fasten itself on the D'Autremonts until clothing be- longing to Hugh was found near the murder scenc. Posse members then learned that the brothers had left their Eugene home and were sup- | posed to have been in that part of Oregon. In the meantime they had Remaining close by their son as lthe trial got under way were the par- jents of the accused youth, Paul !D’Autremont, Eugene, Ore., barber, |and Mrs. Bell D'Autremont, a resi- dent of New Mexico. The parents had been separated but a common grief and the call of blood relationship brought them to- gether. They met here for the first itime in years when Hugh was re- |turnca here and lodged in the Jack- son county jail. Both mother and father express {confidence in the innocence of their son and Hugh has remained stead- |fast in his plea of being not guilty.

The mob had dwindled rapid- ly away from an estimated crowd of 5,000 which last night stormed the state penitentiary and several jails in centyal Arkansas. In the meantime, Lonnie Dixon, the negro boy, was being concealed by state officials who had earlier asked for aid from the Arkansas Na- tional Guard, but who were unable to obtain this ald because the guardsmen were needed in the flood areas. Dixon confessed to police yester- |day that he had slain Floella Mec- Donald after having lured her to the belfry of the First Presbyterian church here two weeks ago on & promise to show her the flooded city. jHe attacked her, he told police, and ;when the child threatened to scream, [struck her on the head with a brick. The girl's disappearance caused a |eity wide search since April 12 until {her body was discovered by Dixon’s father, the janitor at the church. |The boy exonerated his father in {his confession, police said.

Ec., etc. GAIN Chrysler leads—this time by the addition of invar steel strut pistons to that long list of engi- neeringand manufacturing achievements which has set ' the pace for the entire industry. Like 7-bearing crankshaft, oil filter, air cleaner, no-sides! sway springs, smaller wheels, 4-wheel hydraulic brakes, ' and countless other refinements which Chrysler pio- | neered, developed or perfected, this newest engineering | 2dvance — introduced more than a year ago in the Imperial “80” —is now included in all Chrysler six- cylinder cars. Invar steel has been used for years in the manufac.\ ture of scientific instruments, in balance wheels of | watches, pendulums of accurate clocks and in thermo- static metals and survey tapes, where extreme accuracy is required—an accuracy which varying temperatures cannot affect. After long effort Chrysler engineers successfully applied an alloy of the invar type to their pistons.} The invar strut piston developed by Chrysler is the only type of piston which combines the advantages of aluminum—light weight and high heat conductivity — with the valuable property of cast iron—low expansion under heat, Chrysler-developed invar strut pistons can be fitted to one-and-one-half thousandths clearance, as against a clearance of three-one-thousandths for pistons of ordi- nary manufacture. Uniform piston expansion with the cylinder bore minimizes the danger of oil dilution. The pistons being lighter in weight, permits the use of lighter reciprocating parts, giving smoother and quieter oper- ation, Their lightness, too, makes possible greater speed, as great as 300 to 400 revolutions per minute more thdn pistons of the ordinary type. Suchadvantages of smoother and better performance and longer motor life serve only to accentuate still further that manifest superiority which sprang into being with the introduction of the first Chrysler. No greater proof of the recognition of this Chrysler’s leadership can be offered than the irresistible tide of public endorsement which, within three years, has lifted Chrysler from 27th to 4th place in dollar volume of sales, Portland, Ind., says: “The action of my Mass,, says: kidneys seemed to get worse all the time, and the secretions pained in passage.
