Roseburg, Oregon ed in his cell at Oregon City yester day. Harvey declares be was ap proached by a detective named Mit chell, who took him to the office of the two attorneys and that he there signed a wHtten agreement to pay the attorneys $20,000 for his defense by them should he be arrested on a charge of murder. Harvey declared that he was frightened by seeing detectives and Shelrffa In the woods about his home aud that while the circumstances of his consulting a lawyer might seem strauge, under the conditions and the state of mind In which he was in, he did not think he acted strangely. "It Is quite true that W. H. Abel and myself signed a contract for Harvey's defeusc," said Mr. Bower man last night. "The circumstances are these: Some days after the mur der Mr. Abel called me Into his of- nee and there 1 was Introduced to Mr. Harvey. He told me that he feared he might be arrested and that he had been informed this was to be the case. 1 told him that I did not care to; handle homicide cases and that were 1 to do so my fee woum db a mgn one. He seemed willing to agree to this. Thereupon ue signea a contract tor $20,000. $2,OOII Fee Derided On. "At that time I informed him that he could cancel the contract at any time and that If In the meantime 1 did any work for him he could pay me for that. However, the sum of 20,000 was to pay the whole ex pense or his defense. "Harvey came to see me some days later and, at' his request, the contract was canceled. It was torn up at that time, I believe. 1 am not going to defend Mr. Harvey, whoe attorney is C. M. Idleman At no time did Harvey do or say anything In my presence that would lead me to believe he was guilty In his statement Harvey tells that a detective named Mitchell came to him and told him that he was under suspicion and that he was about to be arrested. -Thereupon, he says, he came to Portland with Mitchell and consulted Mr. Abel at his office. He continued: Contract Is Destroyed, There Mr. Bowerman joined us. and I was told If I expected the firm to defend me I would have to sign a contract to give them $20,000 This in my confused state of mind I agreed to do. However, upon re turning home and talking the case over with my wife. I decided that-1 had mad,e a mistake, and a few days later she and I went to Mr. Abel's office and I told the lawyer I wish ed to rescind the contract. He said that would be satisfactory to him and tne paper was torn Into bits in my presence. - "I admit flie fact that I employed a lawyer before I was accused or suspected and it may seem strange but under the circumstances I do not think I acted strangely. I was told by Mitchell that 1 was suspected or the crime and that the woods were filled with officers and this naturally contused me. "1 do not deny that I passed the Hill home the morning of the crime. I had been to Potrlnnd to see a Rose Festival parade. I had to pass the Hill place to get to my house. I ave passed It thousands of times. There can be nothing suspicious in that. 'I desire to correct some state ments that have been made in regard to my family. Daniel Harvey, my brother, and my mother, Mary Ann Bunnell (she was married a second time) were found dead in our home Milwaukie in June, 1890. It was said that my brother killed my moth er and committed suicide." Prisoner Not Morose. Tho prisoner seems to be little concerned regarding his predicament. He saya he realizes that he will ave to remain In Jail, but is not wor rying because he Is confident of ae- ulttal. He has his meals sent to him from a restaurant, and spends his time chatting with three other prisoners who are with him In a ble cell. Harvey gave the sheriff a check for $10 Immediately after his ar rest with which to buy meals. Justice of the Pence Samson said yesterday at Oregon City that the lawyers virtually had agreed to have he perlimlnary hearing next Tues day. Sheriff Maas Bays he will In troduce only enough evidence to hold the prisoner to the grand Jury. Mr. Anei, mentioned In connect on with Mr. Bowerman. made the fol lowing statement, regarding the event preceding the contract: ' know nothing whatever about Mr. Harvey that would be detriment al to blm. He consulted me last summer some time after the Hill murder and said that detectives and deputy sheriffs and othen; persons were constantly at his place running over his land and following him around and making accusations gnlnBt him. He declared he was entirely innocent of the charge but it seemea as tnough the officers were so eager to earn the large reward offered that they were going to try to make him trouble. He told me that It the officers had him arrested he would like to have me defend him. As 1 had been in the state but a short time I suggested that we call tome other attorney Into the case in the event an arrest was made and alter conferring we called In Jay FOR OPEN SHOP English Cotton Mills be so Conducted Hereafter.
