David Kiniry was placed on prelim- inary examination to-day before Pouce, Judge George Samuels on a charge murdering Policeman James H. Smlzh\ November 27, 1903. | This enigmatical criminal smilingly watched the coils of circumstantial evi- dence woven In court to-day. He smiled when Police Judge Mortimer Smith, brother of the murdered patrolman, i faced him from the witness stand. He smiled and joked when clinching bits of evidence filtered from the witnesses as strong points in the case were unfold- ed, He was keenly intent, however, and his sharp eyes saw everything that went on. Identification of the slain poiiceman was given by his brother and the story of the shooting was developed. District Attorney John J. Allen assisted Prose- cuting Attorney Leach. After Judge Smith, Policeman John Cockerton told about finding Policeman Smith wound- ed on the steps of the Palmer resi- dence. He also related how he found Goldstein’s body and a pistol near it. Detective Kyte explained a diagram of the locality which he made. Reeves Baker explained how he found | Patrolman Smith, from whose hand he | took a pistol.

That watch, the police say, they will prove belonged to Kiniry. Testimony concerning Policeman Smith's condition when he was taken to the Receiving Hospital was given | | by Dr. O. D. Hamlin, who gave a re- markably clear narrative. This, to- report upon the autopsy, forms strong points in the case. Dr. George G. Reinle corroborated Dr Hamlin. Dr. J. M. Kane and Dr. . E. Curdts gave evidence upon the ( sldstein autopsy, which was also strong in support of the prosecution’s theory. Dwight L. Strong, Miss Daisy No- lan, Charles and Fred Kutz, brothers, who heard the shots, added to the record. | The two bicycles used by the bur- glars were taken into the courtroom, while W. F.

Allen, a deputy United States Marshal from Fiute, Cal., and his brother-in-law, Raymond Walters, were shot and se- riously wounded by Harry Burris, a bartender, in a transfer office at Fourth street and Broadway here late this aft- ernoon. Burris then ran t¢ his room in a lodging-house, a block and a half distant, and blew out his own brains. The enforced attentions of Burris upon Mrs. Allen and an attempt by him to extort money from her are said to have caused the shooting. Allen and his wife came here from Kern Countv this morning and were at the transfer office arranging to have their trunks sent to their rooms when Burris entered and uttering an oath opened fire upon Allen with a revolver. Burris fired two shots, one of which took effect in Allen's neck, inflicting a serious wound. Allen then drew his re- volver and returned the fire, but missed Burris. At this juncture Raymond Walters, a brother of Mrs. Allen, en- tered the office,. and Burris turned on him and fired one shot, which also took effect in his neck. Burris then fled from the building, pursued by officers, and committed suicide before they could arrest him. The wounded men were removed to a hospital. where their wounds were treated. Neither man was pronounced dangerously injured. Burris was living with his wife at the hotel where he killed himself. He had known the Al- | len family about two years. — LACK OF RAIN CAUSES ALARM Spectal Diapatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash.,, Dec. 8.—Wheat conditions in Eastern Washington and Oregon are engaging serious attention. Lack of rain and cold weather have combined to injure the winter grain and unless there 1s a change for the better the crop of winter wheat is going to suffer. At least that is the opimion of those who recently.wisited inci- pal growing sections. Se far tl Tain- fall has been very light and from all indications it is thought that the com- ing winter will be a severe ane. This threatens to freeze out greater portions of the winter grain sown. The ground is very dry and the wheat has not ab- sorbed enough moisture to sprout.. leav- ing it exposed to the frost. 'In this State not more than two-thirds and in Oregon not mere than one-half of the usual average of winter wheat isin the ground this season. Farmers are verv hak- ing preparations to resow most of the ! fields in the spring. as it is not believed that the wheat now in the ground will withstand the prospective dry and eold winter. A good rain just now, followed giving the wheat a chance to sprout, would mean thou- sands of dollars to the farmers while a severe freeze would mean a praetical loss of every field of winter wheat in Oregon. —_—————— BANQUET GIV IN HONOR OF A CONGRESSMAN-ELECT Duncan E.
