PORTLAND, Ore. Oct. 14.
4 The two boys, James Hawkins
and Harry Howard, who yester-
day accused ltlclinrd Holmberg
of murdering the Hill family,
near Portland,' In June, practl-
cally admitted today that they
faked up the story with a view
of getting the reward. Tle.
boys art being held at the conn-
ty jail and it may be possible
that they will be (lven a Bevere
sentence on the rock pile. Holm-
berg will probably be released
sometime this afternoon.
PORTLAND, Oct. 14. Accompan
ied by live investigators James Haw
kins, aged and Harry Howard,
lged 17, yesterday led the way from
t'otiiand to the deserted home of the
William II. Hill family, a mile south
)f Artlenwald and explained In de
tail how August Richard Holmberg,
who was arrested Wednesday at The
Dalles, entered the Hill bouse be
tween 2 and 4 a. in. on the morning
if June 9 and, they said, murdered
Mr. and Mrs. Hill and their two
children.
The boys guided the Investigators
for more than three hours pointing
out the places where they stopped
while on the way to the scene of the
crime and conlirmed In practically
'very detail the story of Holmberg's
alleged connection with the crime as
related yesterday morning before the
trip was made to Ardeuwald.
The boys, both hobos, were
brought to the city yesterday with
Holmberg from The Dalles and were
subjected to severe questioning at
the county jalL They met Holmberg
May 21 near a rooming house on
Front street and enjoyed his hospi
tality to the extent of a meal In a
cheap restaurant. They said Holm
berg had persuaded them to attempt
robbery In Portland and that they
had refused for fear of being caught.
Then, they said, he suggested that
they go into the country far from
vhere there was any police protec
tion. They consented to this and
vent with Holmberg to Ardenwald,
they said and stood outside the Hill
home while Holmberg went Inside
supposedly for the purpose of rob
hery. They declared they beard scream
ing in the house and a commotion,
hut were too frightened to Investi
gate or run from the scene until
Holmberg came out half an hour lat
er smeared with blood and told
them he had a big light and for them
to run for their lives. They then
related that they ran from the scene,
solng east on the county road, all the
rest of the night and all tho next
day, until they reached tho Sandy
river, near Troutdale, where they
camped for ten days and during
which time Holmberg, they said, held
them In his power by vicious threats.
The Investigators with the two
boys entered an automobile yester
day afternoon at 1 : 4 B o'clock and
rode to Ardenwald. The boys were
told to point out the course they
had taken and the house where they
mid Holmberg had taken them to
commit robbery.
The youths started south, appar
ently at sea regarding their where
abouts. They wandered about for
some time before coming to the
rountv road, which they snld they
recognized as the thoroughfare they
traversed the night or the murder.
Thev followed this road for a con
siderable distance beyond the Hill
house, not recognizing the little
shark as they passed. They soon
felt, however, that they had gone
too fnr and they retraced their steps
to the Hill house, which they de
clared was the place. No Imtlmatlon
had been given by the Investigators
that the shack was the house of
death, the boys pointing It out tnom
selves. They scrambled down over a pile
of wood which they said was there
the night Holmberg led (them to
the scene. They declared they had
stood on the pile and argued about
who would go into the house to com
mit the robbery. The boys said they
were badly frightened and both re
fused to enter and declared Holmberg
decided to go himself. They said
thev followed him to the back of
the bouse and waited wbll" Holm
berg went around to the front to
gain entrance.
Young Hawkins said he leaned
against a pole in the back yard and
Howard said he stood near the wlu-

NKW YOIIK WINS.
NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 14.
In the first game of the world's
series played here today, New
York won by a score of" 2 to 1.
So eager were persons to wit-
ness the opening game of the
series that hundreds of people
crowded before the ticket win-
dowa prior to midnight. When
the gates oiened 10,000 people
were lined In front, and It was
only with the greatest dltflcul-
ty that the "fans" were admit-
ted without accident. When
the last ticket was sold 5,000
people were still assembled on
the outside of the grounds
t unable to gain admittance.
Other than the crowd within the
grounds It is estimated that
over 6.000 people witnessed the
game from housetops, telephone
poles and other places of van-
tage.

Inside of which was Mrs. Hill and
the to children asleep.
As the hoys stood yesterday In the
places they said they had occupied
while the murder was committed,
they declared there was absolutely
no doubt about their story. They
said It was some time after Holm
berg left them in wnitlng at the rear
of the house before they heard any
commotion., The first they heard,
they declared,-was a heart-rending
scream which frightened them so
badly neither could speak or move.
They heard creaking of feet. They
said, as near as they could tell, Holm
berg was lu the house half an hour.
The next seen of Holmberg, they
said, was when he dashed wildly
from the house and said In an ex
cited voice, "Run as fast as you
ean." They said they ran and as
they proceeded down tho county road,
Holmberg told them he had had an
uwfu! fight but had been successful
in getting $L'5 In money.
Holmberg's clothes, the boys Bald,
were splattered with blood and his
hands were a gruesome crimson.
From the scene of the murder the
boys said they hurried all that niori
Ing and all the next day down the
road until they reached the Sandy
river, where they went into camp and
where Holmberg. they recited, at
tempted to wash the blood from his
clothes. He was unsuccessful, they
said, and exchanged clothes and
wrapped the bloody suit in a bundle
ho carried, declaring that the blood
stained suit was too good to throw
away,
The boys say they first susiwcted
Holmberg of murder about five days
'ifter tho Hill crime. Hawkins said
he was sent to Troutdale for supplies,
while Howard was held lu enmp and
threatened with death by Holmberg
If Hawkins did not return within an
hour At Troutdale Hawkins said
he heard talk of four persons having
been murdered In the night near Ar
denwald. and, he BUSeeted Holm
berg. Upon returning to the camp the
first question he asked was whether
Holmberg had murdered anybody
when he was in tho house. This so
Infuriated Holmberg. declared the
youths, that he threatened both hoys
with death if they mentioned It
again He told them repeatedly that
he would kill them on sight If either
tried to leave hiin or tried to tell
that he was the person guilty of the
Hill murder. He did not allow them
to see newspapers and always kept at
least one of the boys close to him
night and day. They boys Bay ho Is
a pervert of the worst type.
