City and County Officials Confer on Proposal; r Coortltonso Has Insufficient Space.

Mayor Strnon held a conference with County Judge Cleeton and Commission era Hart and Llghtner yesterday morn ing rclstlv to the us of th new Court house. A previous arrangement with ex County Judge Webster anil tha oil Com missioners had been made, whereby th city was to have had ample space In thla new building to house Ita police force and to provide space for the Mu nicipal Court and City Jail. However, conditions have changed considerably and It has been figured carefully by ex pert that, within (Ire years, the county will need every foot of the room for Its own us. Mayor Simon, however, felt that It might be possible for the County Court to permit the police to use the new building until such time as the city could provide room of Its own. and suggested this course. This met with te approval of the judge and Commissioners, and the Mayor told them he would turn the subject over to the health and police roromltte of th City Council, of which Mr. Lombard la chairman. Later In th day. the Mayor conferred with Mr. Lombard, after which Mr. Lom bard said that he bad decided to ask th Council to submit th proposed bond Issue, aa the best means of solving the problem. it was but a few days ago that Mayor Plmoa learned of the condition at the County Courthous.

Guilford, who has nearly finished serving his sentence of six months In the County Jail for having attempted to bribe H. O. Barton, one of the Jurors who tried W.

In which he tolls how and why he came to charge Deputy Dislrlct Atttorney Fltsgerald with con spiracy against Attorney Seneca. Fouts. tSullford's statement was signed In the presence of Ma wife and Arthur W. Cloa son. The confession Is: "To Tha Morning Oregon lan : I am writing to your paper nowln order that a stain may be taken from an Innocent party, or rather parties, and a wrong righted.

"I waa arrested last Spring and charred with bribery In the case of State v W.

Juror. This waa but a trumped-up defense, which my attorney. (Seeslln Campbell, of tlO Merchants Trust building. Portland, had persuaded me to use, sssurlng me that they would clear me. "I know now that their Interest In per suading me to use this defense was not my interest. They have worked stead fastly to protect Senoca Fouts and bare lied not only to the public, but to me.

Impli cating Mr. Fltxgerald or any member of the Idstrlct Attorney's office, or detec tive force In any conspiracy are false. They are entirely Innocent of any con nection In this matter other than In the due performance of their official duties.
