THE MORNING OEEGOXJLAJf, TUESDAY MAY 8, 1900. SMS SISTER CARRIED IMS Creffield Made Second Holy Roller Rendezvous at Camp in Lincoln County, , SPELL CALLS OLD VICTIMS Husband, nobbed of Wife, Follows With Revolver and, Though En able to Hill, Frightens the 'Prophet" Away. CORVALLIS, Or.. May 7. ( Special. V It Is not an over-statement of the fact to ay that the news of the death In 6attle this morning of CreffleM was re ceived here with universal satisfaction. With him removed, there will be no "Holy Rollerism," here or elsewhere. IXiring the time Creffield was In the Penitentiary, every one of his former vic tims foreswore their belief In him and treated him and his so-called doctrines with contempt. Immediately after his release last December, activity began nmong his former followers, most of whom repaired to the late camp near Waldport. Among those who went was AIlss Mitchell, a girl of 19. whose brother is now in Jail in Seattle for the slaying of Creffleld. She Is still with such of the Rollers as have tarried in the vicinity of the seaside camp. Miss Mitchell was one of the most vio lent nf the victimn of Creffleld during the Summer and Fall of 1903. when the Roll ers made their first pyrotechnic appear ance in this city, in which they attracted notice all over the world. At the time so many of the victims were sent to the State Insane Asylum as crazed, Miss Mitchell was 'sent to the Boys- and Girls' Home at Portland. She was then about 16 years of age, and an intelligent and very amiable young woman. After be fng released from the Portland Home, she was sent East by her people, and there remained until recently. Mitchell Girl the Messenger. It was Miss Mitchell that acted as a go-between in carrying messages from Creffleld, after his release from the Pen itentiary, to his former wife in this city, who secured a divorce after Creffleld's commitment to prison. The former Mrs. Creffleld had given up all Ideas concern ing Rollerism and was living a quiet, peaceful life with her parents in this city. She was always an amiable and eminent ly respectable young woman, of more than ordinary intelligence. The name of Creffleld and the former doctrines are understood to have become hateful to her until after Creffleld's release. Anticipating trouble after Creffleld's re turn' to liberty, the mail was kept under surveillance with the expectation that the bogus .prophet would attempt to communi cate with his former wife and other vic tims of his diabolical teachings. Creffleld, then in California, induced Miss Mitchell, then at Oregon City, to come to Corvallis, bearing messages that resulted in a re vival of former practices, and ultimately in the remarriage with the divorced wife ,to iC'reffleld. which took place in Scattlo '.n February or March. Induced Brother to Kill. This using of his sister for the per nicious purposes of his foul nature Is one of: the influences that aroused young Mitchell to the retribution he visited upon I HIS Uimuing. There was. also, another influence. Mrs. B.'E. Starr, of Portland, is another sister of Creffleld's slayer. She is the woman, whose illicit relations with Cref ;flld led to his commitment to the Peni tentiary to serve a two-year sentence. Like the others, she had foresworn Cref fleld and his doctrines, and was residing quietly with her husband in Portland. A week ago last Sunday Mrs. Starr ar rived here on her way to join Creffield and the other Rollers, then supposed to be camped near Waldport., From Cor vallis she made her way, traveling most tf the time afoot, to Alsra, a distance of 30 miles. Creffleld had, however, disap peared from Waldport by the time she reached Alsea.- Tn leaving her family in Portland Mrs. Starr deserted a 7-months-old babe and other children. This was another influ ence which, with the knowledge that the law could not reach Creffleld's case. In duced young Mitchell to seek redress. All who know the young man here hold him In the very highest esteem. The wrongs that he has suffered at the hands of Cref field cannot be measured, nor adequately depicted. The same Is true of other homes across which his shadow has fallen. Cast a Powerful Spell. That Creffleld's so-called religion was a cloak for the basest practices is not doubted. That a sort of occult power.' hypnotic or otherwise, enabled him to exercise powerful control over his female followers. Is universally believed here. The day that Creffield recently passed . through Benton County on his way to the Waldport camp a wife and daughter in a Corvallis home left on the same train on which he and Mi's. Creffleld took passage at Wren, 16 miles west of Cor vallis. ' Finding that the husband and father in this home had discovered their flight and was on the same train, the wife and daughter left the train l Blodgett, and traveled afoot via Summit, Toledo, Yaqulna and other points, down the beach to a point beyond Waldport. cover- ' ing a distance of 70 or SO miles. The hus band, who was Louis Hartley, followed them. Gun Would Not Work. At Newport Hartley purchased a re volver ana ammunition and went gun ning for Creffield. The account is that . he pot In reach of the man and that he napped his gun five times at the prophet, but the gun failed to fire because the cartridges were rimfire, while the weapon cm central Are. The knowledge that outraged husbands or other relatives would not tolerate the resumption of Rollerism at the Waldport camp is believed to have put Creffleld to flight to save hte life. He did not come out from Waldport the same way that he went In. Hi means and route or leav lnr there are unknown here. His wife massed through here and Albany a week ago today, alone, and went thence through I'ortlHnd to Seattle. Another home that has been terrihly outraged Is that of Victor Hurt, whose sufferings as a result of Creffleld's teach incs and practices cannot be told in words. His wife, two daughters and son were all at oin time In the asylum. One of his daughters i Mrs. Crefflrld. k - Defiance to Injured Father. It is ststed that when in San Francisco, shortly after his release from the peni tentiary, Creffield wrote Mr. Hurt: "I have my foot on your neck now, and I t Intend to keep it there." L . Since his release from the penitentiary Creffield taught Ms followers that he was 1 the risen Chrit. his rising being his I einerfnce from prison and his death be 1 Ing his captivity there. He also claimed I that it was his curse that destroyed San EDMUND (JOSHUA) CREFFIELD WHO WAS KILLED IN SEATTLE AND SCENE OF THE SHOOTING I- 1 J T jfvj t 'i'v 1 I ei 4 - - -i A ml :?f$ i 1 i i;!'fM jr4k. 1 I lW ill i ... ....-a-iiMri'jieMKaiefciW.i- i I '. .f r, i- -. -iifa-i - ... .-i I- in) '"" HBST AVEXV'E SEATTLE.

The sensational rise of Creffield into notoriety was in the Summer of 1603. when he began holding Holy Roller meet ings in Corvallis. On account of the noise made in their worship, the author ities pent them out of town. Then they went into camp a few miles south of town, where their peculiar practices were i carried on for a period of six weeks. After that they occupied the Hurt house, where, by the burning of furniture, wear ing apparel and other unnatural rlte6 they became conspicuous all over Christen dom. Among other signs of the wide publicity given them was the receipt here of a copy of the Scot, published at Ed inburgh, containing a two-column story of their doings. Antics of the Rollers. At the time of the furniture burning, a sign conspicuously displayed was t the garden gate, put there by Creffield. was: "Positively no admittance except on God's business." In their worshin, the Rollers rolled on the floor, groaned, screamed, prayed, shouted and otherwise gave evidence of great bodily and mental agitation. Creffield was tarred and feathered by Corvalllsites on the night of January 4, 1904. A companion named Brooks, former ly a Salvation Army officer, underwent the process with him. Twenty men were engaged in the affair, which took place under the light of a Winter moon near the Corvallis sawmill. At the time, Cref fleld and Brooks were occupying a houfe across the v illamette from Corvallis, along with eight or ten young women. The house was forced open by the White Caps and the two men were brought across the river Into Benton County, where the tar and feathers was applied. Both men disappeared and noth ing was known of either thereafter until one day Creffleld was found under the house of Mr. Hurt. The bogus prophet's body was entirely nude, and his frame a mass of skin and bones. That happened July 30, 1904. Creffield was .being searched for at that time by the Portland officers on a charge of adultery. It was supposed that he had been hidden under the Hurt house for a period of four months, during Which time re naa Deen red clandestinely by Rollers. He was discovered by accident by a small boy. and was taken to Port land, where he was tried and sent to the penitentiary.

Sent to Corvallis by Salvation Army, He Attracted Followers, Who Became Insane, Edwin Creffield. self-styled Joshua, and leader of the "Bride of Christ Church," whose members were nick named Holy Rollers, a convict and teacher of one of the most bestial forms of faith, is thought by many to have received his just deserts when he was shot and killed yesterday in Seat tle by George Mitchell, brother of one of the fanatic's victims. The news of his death, in quarters where he was best known, was generally received gladly and probably very few expres sions of sympathy were entertained by those who knew of the practices of the Holy Rollers. During his short career as a 'Joshua," all too long for those who were affected by his fanaticism, ne passed through a strenuous existence. Creffield was born in Sweden about 33 years ago, and is said to have had wealthy and well-educated parents. He deserted from the German army and came to America. He joined the Salva tion Army when he came to Portland and soon after was sent to Falem and Corvallis. While there Creffield met one named Mercer and the two organ ized what they called the "Bride ot Christ Church." Mercer soon withdrew from the so- called church and left it In the hands of Creffield. who soon collected almost 100 members. He dubbed himself Joshua and made his followers believe that he would develop into a second Elijah. His campmeetings attracted ad verse criticism and his teachings, part of which was spiritual love, were uni versally condemned. Finally a number of irate citizens of Corvallis, whose wives and daughters had been attract ed to the Holy Rolling community, raided the Beach house, where Creffield and h's followers were quartered. Cref field tried to escape but was captured and given a coat of tar and feathers. and warned to leave that section of the country. Creffleld returned to Corval lis the following morning, where the tar and feathers were scraped from his body by friends. Creffield then went to Albany, where he married Maud Hurt. The Creffields then came to Port land and visited at the home of B. E Starr. Starr, who had left Corvallis to get his w-ife away from the evil in fluences of Creffield. filed a charge against the fanatic. Creffield escaped but was captured by Detective Hart- man July 28, 1904, while In hiding under the house of Mrs. O. V. Hurt at Corvallis. He. was returned to Portland and was brought to trial. His fanaticism developed itself in court as it has done at the camp- meetings. Refusing the services of lawyer and with a Bible in his hands he quoted scripture in his defense and harangued the jury on the justness of his religion. A jury returned a verdict of guilty, and Creffield was sentenced to two years In the penitentiary. e made no plea for mercy, saying only that be. like Christ, was mlsunder stood. His sentence was commuted and last February he was released. Again working up fanatical enthu siasm among a few of his followers, he took tnem to Waldport, where he again tried to carry on his practices. He was given to understand, however, by the residents there that his camp would not be tolerated and from a lack of food he was forced to give on and fled wtth his wife to Seattle whrre he was followed by Mitchell and killed. One of the most harmful results of Creffield's teachings was the, insanity caused to a number of his followers. Mrs. O. V. Hurt was committed to the insane asylum. Mrs. Starr's young sis ter, Estner, and sister also of -George Mitchell, was a victim of Creffield. She was turned over to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society and later sent to relatives in Indiana.

Wash., May 7. (Special.) A subject now being investigated by the Attorney-General ratses the question as to whether the Elks and ' other orders that pay sick benefits are exempt from the provisions of the general insurance laws of the state relating to fraternal beneficiary societies.

"God only knows the days and nights of anxiety and mental agony that have been suffered because of the work of that man Creffleld." said O. V. Hurt, of Corvallis. who was in Portland last night on his way to Seattle to look after his daughter. Mrs. Maud Creffleld. and George Mitchell, who shot Creffield yes terday morning. "Peaceful, happy families have been broken up, virtuous women have been led astray, children have been turned against parents and wivea against hus bands, through some strange, unaccount able power this man Creffleld exerted. Those who were wronged tried every pos sible means to protect themselves from a renewal of his detestable practices. Fathers and husbands and brothers have tried to control themselves while their loved ones were being led astray. The law could afford no protection, no rem edy, and I am not one who will say that Mitchell did wrong in taking the matter into his own hands." Mr. Hurt left last night for Seattle, and as soon as he arrives there will se cure the aid of the best lawyers In that city to defend Mitchell against whatever charge may be brought against him. He says if the case were to be tried here In Oregon, where the work of Creffleld has been carried on. he would have no concern whatever as to the outcome, but he Is not sure that a Seattle Jury can be made to understand the extreme prov ocation under which Mitchrll took the life of the "holy roller" leader. Mr. Hurt is a merchant at Corvallis, where he is highly esteemed by all the people. He has a family consisting of a wife, a grown son and daughter and a younger daughter in her teens. Before Creffleld appeared at Corvallis happiness reigned unbroken In the fam ily. The .mother was deeply devoted to her husband and children. The daughter was a quiet, home-loving girl and the son an industrious, intelligent. steady young man. As soon as Creffleld gained his hypnotic power they lost all love for home and friends and cared for naught but to do his bidding. They came and went at his command. For days at a time they lay prostrate upon the floor of their own home, refusing all food and Joining him in continuous prayer. When Creffleld's immoral practices were discovered he was sent to the peniten tiary, the wife and two older children to the asylum and the younger daughter to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, but as soon as they were released it became evident that Creffield still exerted his I power. The older daughter went to Se attle and married the author of all this trouble and the mother announced her faith In his perfection his divinity. Un der circumstances such as these Hurt cannot condemn the act of Mitchell. I cannot account for the power Cref field exerted," said Mr. Hurt last night. 'except upon the theory of hypnotism. My family believes he is divine, and they assert that although dead he will rise again in three days. The least I can hope, is that they will recover from the spell which he threw over them." Mr. Hurt says that Creffleld was a very highly educated man, having been trained in Germany for priesthood In the Catholic church. Few could hold their own with htm in argumentation.

FALSE TEETHF0R DOGS Canine Surgeon Tells of Imitation Paws for Pets. London Post. Dogs and cats can now be fitted with false teeth, wooden legs, imitation paws and glass eyes. This development ol modern surRlcal science is described by Professor Hobday, of Kensington, one of the foremost veterinary surgeons, in his book on canine and feline surgery. The author expresses the hope that his volume may advance "the applica tion of modern surgical principles for the benefit of the suffering animal world." Pictures of the operating theater and table, the apparatus for administering anesthetics and the various instruments used In operating are given, and later in the book there are photographs from life of dogs and cats which have been treat ed surgically. In one picture a Blenheim spaniel is shown, sitting proudly behind his false leg and imitation paw, while the next picture shows the dog wearing his false limb and looking prouder than ever. - Further on is a pet fox terrier with a beautifully made artificial limb of silver and vulcanite, with a flexible Joint and a false paw. This latter is the most ex pensive form of false limb. Others may be had made of leather, with a wooden stump, and a half-crown limb, the cheap est of all, is made entirely of leather. In the chapter on operations on the mouth several accounts are given in cases In which dogs have been fitted successfully with false teeth. There is a picture illustrative of an aged dog with a set of artificial teeth, which it has shown In the most approved fashion be fore the photographer's lens, and the picture of an aged collie shows how its lost teeth were replaced with gold by American bridge work. Realistic glass eyes for eats and dogs are depicted elsewhere with a photograph of a valuable cat thus fitted on the loft side of Its face, the two eyes looking as much, alike as could be wished. There is also a pug dog with a false eye of vulcanite, and two pictures of a Japan- ese spaniel before and after the substl tution of the glass eye. Professor Hobday also tells how meat skewers, hat pins, stick pins, needles, nails, tacks, beads, stone, corks, coins, rubber or wooden balls, etc., have been removed successfully from the bodies of dogs and cats which had swallowed them. One of the. pictures in this section is of a sheep dog, which recovered after an operation in which the hard composi tion of a cricket ball was removed from Its stomach. The author relates how he once found a valuable diamond collar stud in a dog's body, the owner of the stud having missed It and suspected the dog of hav ing swallowed it. Making Xew York Impregnable. Technical World Magazine. Very new and modern are the almost automatic and entirely impregnable coast-defense forts. So modern, indeed, that the- installation of comparatively few of them his been completed, But so com plete is the confidence of all the experts in their inviolability that $50,000,000 is to be spent at once by the United States alone In the perfection of its coast defense. Of this amount at least one million will be expended at Forts Hamilton and Schuy ler, guarding the harbor of New York. In coast-defense work the first necessity is to be always prepared for attack never to be caught napping. With this idea In view, small ships of a new type and great speed are being built for scout ing purposes. Telephone systems, sup plementing the telegraph, are being biuit along the whole coastline, each station connected with the nearest fortress. Coast guards and lookouts are being furnished with portable searchlights; and each ob server will cary with him a portable tele phone, the receiver clamped to his ear. so that he nay be in constant touch with the officer in command of the fire control station. More remarkable still is the flying 'periscope,' a scientific combin ation of telescope and camera, which will automatically take snapshots showing the details of everything on land and water within a distance of 10 or even 30 miles. In practice it has been found possible to locate a target five or six "miles away, make the necessary calculations, aim and fire a gun, and drop a shot exactly on the specified spot, all within three or four minutei.
