Scott, charged with attempted extortion, had its lute. linn on the 23rd of last February, when A. M. Gallagher, the prosecuting witness, received the fol lowing letter: ".Mr. Antone Galagher. "Sir: "You will on getting this draw 2f.d dollars and take the same home with you he sine It is all gold money, put it all in one package and leave It on top of one of the posts by the fourd next to that big tree .where you pas ture your horses. "He sure and do as you are told on the same day as you get this fo: von are watched all the time nnd If vou try lo spilt on us we will get you sure. Dave the money at the plate stated friday night Feb. 24 lit dark, mum Is the word Tor If this gets out we wont, leave enough of vou to hold a funeral over nor your building or your wife either. "now dont try to watch us nor try to get someone else to because yor wont know what hurt you If you do. just do as we tell you and then go hoine and dont tell nobody if '': want to live to a ripe old age." The envelope containing this letter addressed Mr. Gallagher by the nb k nanie of "Tony.'' Scott, who had previously been employed by Gullu glier cutting wood, was the only man. according to Gallapher. who ever called him "Tony." This circum stance, coupled with an Instinctive dislike for the man. led Gallagher to suspect Scott at once .Hid lie lost tio time In placing the case In the handr. of thu authorities for investigation. The Hero) Letter. Intent upon securing evidence that would convict Scott. Sam W. Stunner, then deputy sheriff, hit upon t lie plan to get the suspected man to write i. letter 111 order that the handwrlttiu theteof might be compared to the one received by Gallagher, which was writlen in lead pencil and (lis plaed pour education on part of the wilier. Sluriller succeeded In getting the tlesilfil letter, but tile ult'liril outcome lirl be told in the vertilt t of the jury. Ti proe tbat Scot: v. role the letter to Gallagher bv com High Grade parison with the one be wrote Stunner, the stute will place on the witness stund a handwriting expe-t who Is here from Portland. Scott positively denies having written the Gallagher letter or knowing anything whatever about the attempted extor tion. In carrying out his plan. Starm-r wrote a letter to Scott, representing himself as a sawmill man looking for workmen. He signed himself as "George Tonyson," using the capital letters G and T as appeared in the address to "Tony Gallagher." Scott sent bar a reply and the letters U and T which he wrote are exactly ol the same style as the ones appearing In the Gallagher letter. And In all other respects the handwriting of both letters appeared to have been written by the same hand. ' Con vinced that Scott was guilty, Starmur made an appointment with him by letter and then placed him under ar rest. Oilier Evidence. In writing a dictated letter at the sheriff's office, Scott spelled the word Oregon thus "Oreogoti," the way In which it was spelled on the Gullagher letter. To secure some admission from him as to his whereabouts whtn the Gallagher letter was written, the office pretended that they suspected him of a mail pouch robbery at Yon calla. In emphatically asserting h's Innocence of that crime, Scott un willingly admitted that he spent the night of February 23, the date of the Gallagher letter, at the Ifonie of bis niece, living about 500 yards east ol the Gallagher place. The stationery used In the Gallagher letter is of the same quality as samples of station ery secured the ottlcera at Scot Fa .home at Edenbower. ADVERTISED LETTERS.
