LOGGER KILLED AT ' DEER ISLAND PLANT llonry Sylvia, a logger aged about 30 years, vus instantly killed al the lM-er Island Logging Company's plant Thursday morning about 9 o' clock when a lug which wna nelng loaded on a logging truck struck htm. Sylvia was shipped out ot I'ortlund On Monday Feb. 2, and little wat known of hi in except that he claimed to be an experienced logger. . Ho went to work JiihI an hour before the fatal accident occurred. Sylvia was second loader und waa helping to load the logging truck. The second log placed on the truck hit the first log and caused It to roll off. When ll wus being again plaoed on the car, and being swung tnto place, Sylvia attempted to adjust something on or noar the log and was struck by the swinging log Just being loaded. His head was badly crushed and his death was instant. Coroner T. 8. White Is endeavoring to locate members of tho dead man's family. Several lettors found In his possession Indicate that he nas a brother and alHtcr, and a picture ot hi m Jn army uniform shows that he served lu the army. A dopbsit slip on a Washington bank dated several months ago, Is the best cluo to his identity and Mr White has wlrotf the bank for fur ther particulars und will hold the body until he has secured more defi nite Information. Among the man's personal rgocts were good'clothes, freshly laundered linen, a dlctiouery, and toilet ar ticles which showed that he was a nan accustomed to keeping himself clean and presenting a respectable appearance.

Campbell on the witness stand, swore that he was not the father of the child. He hd not seen Miss McTaggart from Jfay 1818 until August, 1919 when he waa dfs, charged, from the army he said ex cept at the time of the morrlage.

The letter was shown him as evidence, and while answering ques tions asked him by the district at torney, Campbell tore the incriminat ing letter In small pieces and stuffed them down his pants leg. The letter was missed and Campbell searched. He was forced to take off his panu and the bits of the letter were found und pasted together.

'This was denied by Mrj. Campbell and her mother.
