16 THE SUNbAY OREGONIAN, POKTLAND, MAY 11, 1902. HOW WILEY AIDED, Tells Story of $10,000 Dia mond Robbery. STOOD OUTSIDE AND WATCHED Savage, He Say, Went in the,HteI and Came JJnck "With the Bootj True Joliniion's Part. Kelly Wiley told the story of the 110,000 diamond robbery at the trial of Charles and Frankle Savage, before Judge Frazer and a jury jesterdaj. He refused to ad mit that he was himself concerned In It, or got any of the plunder, although he pleaded guilty and nas sentenced to fle years In the penitentiary. "Wile said he pleaded guilty because of other things thi police had against him, concluding that the best thing to do was to dispose of every thlrg at once. In answer to ques tions, Vlle7 testified as follows: "I am 21 j ears old, and was born at Louisville. I know Savage and Frankle Savage. I -went to school .with Sayage. I came to Portland in August, 1901. Savage and I came together. I worked on the O. R. & N. Co.'s dining car between Port land and La Grande. I -was In the city on Sunday, No ember 17. 1 saw Savage at his home. I went there at 7:30 o'clock and we played cards Savage and his wife, Mrs. Bertha Glenn and I. "We plajed until 10.30 o'clock, when Savage said he had rheumatism, and he was going to see the head bellman at the Portland Ho tel, and find out if he could not get a job In the washroom. He said he did not want to hop bells any more. "We started out together for the hotel. Savage went In, and I walked around on the outside, up Morrison street, and on Yamhill street. I waited about 30 to 40 minutes, and then met Savage at Seventh and Morrison t-treets, and went with him to his house. He walked fast, and showed me a couple of plush boxes." "What did he Bay?" asked Attorney Spencer. "When he got to the house, he eaid: "That is not all. My partner got the rest of them.' Afterwaid he told me the de tectives were watching him and theTbell fcoys, and 1 didn't go to his house any more. I didn't see him again until jes terday." "State what took place at his house," asked Mr. Spencer. "He showed me breastpin?." "State how many there were." "There must have been 25 or 30." "What did you do after that?" "I stayed In Savage's house about 20 minutes. We then went to Mrs. True Johnson's, and had some beer, and sub sequently I went to a saloon." "Do you know If Mrs. Savage saw the diamonds?" "She didn't see them when I was there." "Were the diamonds paste or what?" "I don't know. I suppose they were diamonds." "Did he state the name of the party he had to cut up with?" "No." Being pressed for further particulars concerning what occurred at True John son's house, Wiley said: "Savage spoke of lealng the stuff ' there." Mr. Spencer asked: "Did you see him hand it over?" "No." Wiley answered. Wiley was next asked to give more de tails of the occurrence at the rooms of Mr. and (Mrs. Savage, and said that he remarked, on looking at the diamonds, "Gee! That is a whole lot," and asked Savage who his partner was, and Savage replied: "You don't know him. He don't come around the colored folks much." The witness further said he did not know where any stuff is now, and that he was a brother-in-law of Savage; also that he did not go out on his run the next morning because he was sick, and also for the reason that he Intended going away on account of little mishaps he had here. The cross-examination further developed that Wiley was arrested for burglary, and that the case was not pressed; also that he had lived In Denver for 12 years, work ing there constantly. He asserted posi tively that he jiever was In any trouble of a criminal nature in Colorado. Wiley said three informations were filed against him charging him with burglary, and that he pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing the diamonds in order to receive leniency and get one sentence for all of the offenses. He tcld about being placed In the sweat box, but said he did not help to steal the diamonds, and never got any of them. He clmply knew about It Wiley stated that Savage never told him that the fat boy of the bell gang was his partner in the crime. Mrs. True Johnson was the next Import ant witness She proved to be very intel ligent, and also showed an apparent wil lingness to tell all she knew about the case. She said, referring to the night of the robbery: "Savage and Wiley came to my house, and Saage told me he had Eome diamonds to keep for him. I took some from Mrs. Savage, and hid them under the bed. She gave me some more he had tied up in his handkerchief. She said: 'Don't let Kelly know about the rings in the handkerchief,' and I put them away, so he could not see them. She said that Kelly had given Savage the most of It Savage said: 'True, I will give you a valuable present for keeping the dia monds,' and he also remarked, 'You haven't seen me tonight True.' " Mrs. Johnson said she asked Savage how he got In Lrowenthal's room, and he told Hlr that he took a key out of the janitor's coat pocket, which was hanging In the hasement and opened the trunk with a hook used to lift trunks. Savage told her Kelly Wiley did not do anything. He only ctood outside and watched, and he (Sav age) could hae done the job himself, and Wiley did not deserve anything. The witness, continuing, said: "At the time Mrs. Savage turned the package over I did not know what It contained. I looked the next morning In the handkerchief, and found It contained rings, and the box con tained breastpins and brooches, and stick pins.' Mrs. Johnson explained that she hid the diamonds in a pillow, and afterward In the towl of a large lamp, which Mrs. Savage remarked, "was a right good proposition." Mrs. Johnson stated that the Savages visited her frequently for several days. They were alarmed that they were being watched, and were afraid that Kelly Wiley would enter the place at night through the window and steal the diamonds. Savage Anally Ipft for Denver, on the pretense that he was going to visit his sick mother, but did not take any of the stolen property with him. Mrs. Johnson a few days later took the train for Omaha, where she was arrested, taking some of the diamonds with her. She left the rest of them in the lamp. Mrs. Savage fol lowed later, and the supposition is that 6he obtained the diamonds which were left In the lamp, although there was no evi dence" to that effect Mrs. Bertha Glenn testified regarding the meeting at the house of the Savages and the card game, and other witnesses were examined concerning matters of minor Im portance. The trial will be continued Monday. The man with whom Savage di vided the plunder has not yet been located. WILL OT GET 12,000 ESTATE. Claim 'of Christina Engrer to Henry TVlIson's Property Fails.

A motion to dissolve the Injunction Is sued In the State Circuit Court restrain ing the widening of the Macadam road was argued yesterday before Judge Bears, and "was taken under advisement In the petition asking for an injunction. Judge Cake and County Commissioners Showers and Mack were named as the de fendants, and the petition was served only on Judge Cake. Charles H. Carey, attorney for the Port land Driving Assbclation, which has been advocating the improvement of the road. appeared as special counsel for the de fendants. Mr. Carey nrgued that the County Judge Is one of three members of the court If the members of the court are to be served, all three should be served. He said the County Judge does Tint rflnrpcpnt tho ritHoT ftum Vila nrtlrm j alone in pounty matters would not bind the court, nor the county. The statute, he asserted, seems to Indicate that the Clerk having custody of the records and proceedings of tho court Is the proper person to be served, and not the members of the court Mr. Carey also urged that the county is a necessary party to such a proceeding, and has not been made such in the petition, and that the county Is served by service on the clerk. W. L. Brewster, attorney for the petl- J tloners, argued that sen ice upon the County Judge as the head or presiding officer of the County Court Is sufficient and concerning the point that the county must be made a. party contended that the courts have not Dositlvelv so he'd, and j that the County Judge and Commission ers, in their legal capacity, represented 1 the county. Mr. Brewster read some au thorities.' In his petition he sets up that j the starting point of the road is Indef initely described: and, further, that it is not the intention" to relocate part of the I road, as It is impossible to do so. These ana otner points were argued on both sides by counsel. t-M-r-i-i-i-i-i-H-H-i-i-i-i-H-i-H-i-H-i' 'i-H j-m-h-h-m i"!i-:-M-i..:..:..H..K..isT.T,H.:-i"H"i"r":-i-:"i :! i 'M-m-m : 1 ? 1 Our Bargain Sale - j Francisco, will not get the estate left by 1 Henry Wilson, deceased, valued at about $12,000.
