(ZlttttPB IDENTIFIES REV. M Jack Parrott Swears That Gar diner Preacher Is the Offender. SAYS WOMAN WITH HIM IS NOT WIFE Gives Sensational Testimony at Hearing In Roseburg. ROSEBURG, Ore., Nov. 23. The Iron grip of the law fastened Itself more securely around Rev. George "Clark," of Gardiner, In 'Justice Long's court, when Jack Parrott, a recent arrival at Gardiner, positively and emphatically Identified the min ister as Rev. George q. Summers, who is wanted at Throckmorton, Texas, on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. With equal posltiveness, Parrott declared the woman with whom the minister was living at Gardiner and the moth er of two children, is an acquaint ance of his boyhood days and not the woman and mother of three chil dren whom he knew as Summers' wife in Throckmorton, where he, himself, lived for many years before coming to Oregon. "It is Impossible for the Almighty God to make two different men ex actly like Rev. Summers," declared Parrott, on the witness stand; "and It is more Impossible in the case of the woman at Gardiner whom he calls his wife." Besides Parrott's statement, there was Introduced in evidence a periodical published by a riPB Moines detective bureau, con taining a picture of the accused man, together with a personal description that tallied to the most minute de tail. The article said, however, that Summers was wanted on two char ges, Instead of one charge, of ob taining money under false pretenses, and that he would probably be ac companied by a blonde woman. The "Mrs. Clark" at Gardiner is a blonde. District Attorney Brown a"so in troduced In evidence a telegram stat ing that the sheriff of Throckmorton county, Texas, J. C. Sherlock, was now en route to Salem, Oregon, arm ed with requisition papers. He is accompanied by Judge Massie, also of Throckmorton, whom Parrott says is the father of the woman liv ing with the minister at Gardiner. The two men are expected to reach Roseburg next Sunday. In order to get their testimony, Justice Long continued the examination over until Monday. Parrott's Story. Parrott stated that he was em ployed by the Gardiner Mill Com pany, although he claimed Throck morton as hjs home. He said he first met Rev. Summers in Throckmorton In the fall of 1902, and that on num erous occasions, afterwards he had either heard him preach or engaged with him in personal conversation. His first meeting with the minister occurred at the house of his (Par rott's) uncle, whoso wife, ho said, Is a sister of the woman living with "Clark" at Gardiner. This woman at Gardiner, Parrott said, ho has known since he was 8 years of age Her maiden name Is Bessie Massey At a church at Gardiner one evening, Parrott said he saw Summers and in stantly recognized him. The minis ter evidently recognized Parrott. too. because as the witness testified, ho stared at him constantly throughout the service. "When I heard his voice in pray er," declared Parrott, "I heard the same voice that I knew at Throck morton. When I saw his" walk and met that peculiar look in his eyes, then I was sure ho was the man. It Is Impossible for me to be mis taken. His so-called wife I recogniz ed as quickly as I did him, and she is not the woman that I knew as his wifo In Texas. In that state he had three children, the ages ranging from 21 to 8 years; at Gardiner ho has two children, one 3 years of age and the other about one-half as old." Parrott then wont into details about his correspondence with his uncle In Texas, which led up to the GLARK AS WANTED IN TEXAS ii )) JDDN D'S PLAN Rockefeller TestiTes That He Did Not Conceive the Scheme. (By Associated Press.! NEW YORK, Nov. 23. John D. Rockefeller testified today that he did not conceive the plan of the for mation of the original Standard Oil Trust In 1882. "I am sorry to say I did not," said Rockefeller, "I cannot c"alm any credit for that as Mr. Flakier and S. C. Dodd conceived It." During the examination, Rockefeller said the oil business is hazardous "even up to the present time." This statement will afford Attorney Kellog for the government an opportunity to examine Rockefeller on the conduct of the company since 1882. It had been understood that Rockefeller would not be examined on the details since that time, but Mr. Kellog main tains that Rockefeller's gratuitous statement that the business Is hazard ous "up to the present time" opens up to him the whole period of Standard Oil's history. KILLS DIG PEARS AT 80. Old Mim Gets a 250-Pounder, nnd AVnnts n Few More. OIL CITY, Pa., Nov. 21. Capt. J. M. Gayetty, of this city, who is nearly eighty years old, returned home today from a week's hunting trip In Forest county, bringing with him a 250-pound black bear, which he killed near Marlenvllle. After a few days rest the veteran hunter will return to the wilds of Forest county for two weeks' hunt and promises to slay at least two more bears. Valuable Matter Removed From Belgrade In Prepara tion For Raid. (By Associated Press.) BELGRADE, Nov. 23. Seventeen carloads of matter from the ar chives of trie National Bank were to-! day removed from this city to the fort at Nlsh. This step was taken because the government fears that Austria will make a raid on Bel grade, the capital. It is rumored that the government will also be moved to Nlsh. telegram to Sheriff Fenton for the, minister's arrest. On cross-examina tion by Attorney Cardwell his story did not vary In the slightest pai ticular. , He denied that he was actuated in this case by the reward of $200 offer ed for the minister, and in response 'o one question said that he knew )t no Rev. Summers while In TexaF other than the man now on trial. Parrott's demeanor while on the itand was one of absolute confidence, and he told his story without a hitch. The effect of his damaging state ments was not apparent on the de fendant at first, but as his testimony progressed gradually the accused man became very nervous and seemed re lieved when the ordeal was over. Before continuing the hearing, Justice Long ruled on the copy of the Throckmorton indictment, to which objection was made by Attor ney Micolll, of tho defense, Wednes day, on the ground that It should bear the certificate of tho Governor of Texas In order to make It admls sable as evidence. Tho court denied the objection. i FEAR ATTACK , r! Y a 1 it ! H 2 Di nUulltln i LOS ANGELES MYSTERY UNSOLVED ; Identity of Young Woman Whose Dismembered Body Was Found On Railroad Track Cannot Be Estab lished. fRv Associated Press ) LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23. The po lice and detectives are endeavoring to fathom the mystery of the death and Identity of the body of the young woman whose decapited and dlsmem- jbered remains were found on the Strenuous Canpaign Being Made For Control of Tues- day Night's Meeting. The municipal campaign that has been In progress In North Bend lor the past ten days, has been growing Intensity and today reached a red hot state, indicating that the caucus to be held there tomorrow night will be one of the warmest the town has ever seen. There has been little change In the lineup since the re sume of the situation was printed In The Times the other daj. About the only new developments are told" In the following letter from a num ber of North Bend citizens: Editor Times, Two new candidates for the office of councilman have arisen in North Bend, who promise to make a very strenuous fight still more exciting. These men, F. W. Bode and Tom James, are running Independently of each other and of any faction simply because so many of their friends have asked them to enter the flght. The realization Is growing that the fu ture of this progressive little city largely depends on the quality of the men elected for the next term, the matter of Valuable franchises, water works and, more particularly, the first bond issue, being instant and requiring men of sound judgment, proven business ability and unpre judiced minds to hand.e them, there is also a growing dislike for factional politics for the secret meetings where a few interested parties get together and nominate a ticket and foist it on the people ready made, and this dislike Is a most pleasing evidence of civic wideawakeness and progression, it being difficult to credit that men so nominated are chosen for their personal beauty or disinterested qualities. The spontaneous uprlsal of these two candidates Is most prom ising for they are men in intimate dally contact with the people, acti vely engaged In business and very far removed from the distasteful type of street-corner politicians.
