LOOKS DARK FOR L0GSD0N X'ncle of Slletz Buck Accused of Crime Tells of Taking Away Guns and of Hearing Nephew Admit Killing White. Testtfytn that his wife persuafled him to conceal during: the Coroner's inquest some of the facts in his possession con cerning the murder of Grover Cleveland White, a Siletx Indian, Georce Wilbur, an uncle by mnrriasre of Carl Logsdon, the Indian youth accused of the crime. Kave Important testimony in the trial of Ixigrsdon in the FediTal Court yesterday afternoon. Wilbur's testimony, which was a sur prise to the defense, changes the charac ter of the evidence in the case from wholly circumstantial to semi-direct. White, a youth of 2X was found dead by the roadside near London's house on the Sdletz Reservation In Lincoln County, July ?4. 1S. with a bullet wound through his chest. According to the testimony Ktven by Indians at the Coroner's in quest and before the (rrand Jury, Logsdon was th. last one seen with White while the latter was alive. In the early part of the trial yesterday this evidence was produced by the Government and an at tempt waa made to prove that the bullet wound was made by a rifle shot. Peter Muggins and Ned Evans testified to hav ing Ken Logsdon and White drinking by the road July 23 and to having observed a nne in lx-gsaon s possession. Wilbur was the last witness of the afternoon. His wife and Logsdon's mother are sisters and Wilbur and his wit. lived in' a tent near the Logsdon home. He testified that on the night of . u. moroer jars. Ltogsdon called to him ; to oocD. in tl house because of trouble. Mrs. Logsdon, he said, gave him a rifle and asked him to take it away. He did so, he says, and secured two other guns from her. Then he put young Logsdon to bed. The Indian was In an intoxicated condition and when aroused said: "That you, Grover? What you doing here? I thought I killed you." Wilbur testified tbat the next morning Young Logsdon told him he believed Grover White 'would be found dead down by the road. When asked why he thought that. Wilbur says Logsdon remarked that he had seen White, Bvans and Mug gins drinking down there and believed W hite might have been killed. Wilbur says he advised his nephew not to talk that way, as he might be accused of the murder if Wrhite had been killed. Wilbur testified that his wife had per suaded him to say nothing of these occur rences at the Coroner's inquest. In this case Peter Muggins, one of the witnesses yesterday, was for anlme under suspicion of having committed the mur der. He had had trouble with White some time prior to the crime when both were drunk. On the day of the shooting . he went to Toledo to get some whisky that was coming to him by express from Portland and testified to drinking with friends on the way home. He told of being in company with Evans and of seeing Logsdon and White sitting by the road drinking. Muggins said he and Evans went on to the latter's house and stopped at the gate and had another big drink. From then on he remembered nothing until the next morning, when he awoke In Evans' house and asked for the whisky bottle. He said he was drunk all next day. Muggins, on cross-examination, denied that he had been in the habit of carrying a revolver or that he had one with him the day of the murder. He also denied having made threats against White and insisted that they were good friends at the time of the murder. Logsdon 1s a youth of about 21 or 23 years of age. and is being tried on a charge of premeditated murder. Better Car Service to Oregon Electric People. The Portland Railway. Light & Power Company has placed cars In service to run from the west entrance of the old Madison-street bridge, on Front and Madison streets, to First and Burnside streets. The signs on these cars will read "Oregon Electric Railway Depot." This new service will be greatly appre ciated by patrons of the electric line, as it will bring car service within one block of the Front and Jefferson-street depot. Passengers boarding these cars at Front and Madison streets will be transferred to any line In the city. THREE MAY BE FAGINS SLEUTHS XAB SUPPOSED PICK POCKETS ON CAR. Men Canght In Evident Attempt to Jostle Crowds and Booked as Vagrants. Suspected of being members of the band of Eastern pickpockets who have been operating freely here during tne Rose Festival, three young men of re fined appearance and well-clad were ar rested by the police last night and placed In the City Jail after they had been frus trated in what was believed to be an at tempt to "go through" a number of crowded streetcars on Morrison street. Detectives Tichnor and Howell and Pa trolman J.' F. Manion from the central station, San Francisco, who is here on special duty this week, made the arrests. The men were seen to Jump on and off several cars at the west approach to the Morrison-street bridge last night after the parade when people were returning to the East Side In throngs. The detectives and patrolman followed, and after board ing a Mount Tabor car the suspects were seen in what their captors terms an at tempt to Jostle the passengers. The men were at once taken into custody. They gave the names of John Williams, age 28: Charles Fisher, age 26, and Edward Burdette, age 29. The suspects were unable to give a satisfactory account of themselves and made a few admissions which satisfied Captain Baty and his assistants that the retention of the men was advisable. Bur dette had 303.10 In cash In his pocket and each of the other men had more than JSO. They are believed to be from New York: City. They were booked for vagrancy. AUTO EXPLODES IN CROWD Machine Catches Fire Just After Pa rade Passes.

Clemson. sec retary of the ClarkeClemson Realty Company, who resides at 819 Lovejoy street. Mr. Clemson was accompanied by his wife and a friend. AH were .badly frightened, but escaped without injury. The blaze of gasoline, was quickly put out by a hand fire-extinguisher obtained by some quick-witted bystander from a store nearby. Some one rang in a fire alflrm. several companies responded, and a large crowd conecieu. rne accident was explained by an automobile expert In the crowd, who made an examination of the machine and who said that Mr. Clemson had failed to shut ore the gasoline which "back fired" when he started up again. The machine was partially wrecked and the party was forced to call a livery car to proceed on its way home. The damage was not great and repairs will rjrohahlv cost only $200.
