PORTLAND TaCOM A RoAD. NeWS
comes from Washington that Senator
Mitchell haa introduced a bill for ex
tending the time of the Washington
Bridge Company to construct and
malntaiu a bridge across the Colombia
river at Vancouver. The bill provides
that work shall oommenoe on the
bridge within two years from June 24,
1895, and completed within two years
from that date. The original act for
the building of this briige was passed
In 1890, but the time within which the
work was to be completed bed elapsed,
and the bridcre ie In an unfinished
condition. The Introduction of this
new bill asking an extension of time
would indicate that the road from
Portland to Puget sound, on the oppo
site side of the river, is so be finished
within the next few yean.
Finer Whits Child. An Item has
been going the rounds of the state
press that Mrs. Warren, the first white
child born in Oregon, and one of the
eurvivorsof the Whitman massacre,
was recently married to Wm. Coon
ran, and that the couple have moved
from Brownsville, Oregon, to San Jose,
California, Mrs. Warren being 60 years
old at the lime ot ner marriage. Tbe
Brownevillo Times says this it false.
Mrs. Elisa Warren, who is the first
white child born west of tbe Kooky
mountains, is still residing on her
farm near Brownsville, and is not mar
ried, and as far as can be ascertained
is not contemplating anything of tbe
sort. Tbe Mrs. Warren wno was mar
ried was a resident of MoMinnville,
and Mr. Cochran resided in Browns
ville, but have removed to Ban Jose,
California.
, The Btato Xjuoci. The biennial
meeting of the Republican State
League of Oregon was held in Port
land last Tuesday, and was attended
bv 29 delecates from Columbia oounty.
There were present from all parts of
tbe state 1136 delegates. At this meet
ins: tbe election of officers for the en
suing two years took place, and Judge
O. H. Carey, of Portland, waa eieoted
president i Claud Gatch, Salem, vice
president I L. A, MoMsry, Portland,
J. R. Wilson, Jacksonville, and W. H
Moore, Mora, were eieoted as an exec
utive committee. Fourteen delegates
were elected to attend the meeting of
the National League to be held at Mil
waukee, Wit., this spring. Among
the number selected were Judge Mo
Bride, of Oregon City; Judge Taylor,
of Astoria; and Geo, W. Patterson, of
Hillsboro. The meeting was most
harmonious throughout and great en
thusiasm prevailed. The 29 delegates
from Columbia county voted as a unit
on every proposition except for vioe-
presiaent, and on that ballot they
were divided between Gatoh of Marion,
and Yates, of Washington. The con
vention adjourned at 10 o'clock Tues
day evening.
The Oldest Marrmd Couple. Sev
eral papers in this state have been lay
ing olaims to having in their towns
tbe eldest married eouple in the state,
that is, the couple who have been mar
ried tbe longest. The couple claim
ing the honor have been married 61
years. Portland now comes to the
front with a couple who have been
married 63 years on the 12th of this
month. They are Mr. and Mrs. Isaac
Barnes, who were married in England,
January 12, 1833, when tbey were each
about 20 years old. Tbey are both in
good health and bid fair to live for
many years. They have two sons
living here, a grandson, a greatgrand
son, to say nothing of aeveral grand
daughters, one at least of whom is a
young woman grown. They are very
likely to live to see great great grand
children. Mr. Barnea' father waa an
offloer in the British army, and was
wounded at the buttle of Waterloo,
from the effects of which he died
many years after. Probably but for
this wound he might have been living
yet. It la now in order for some one
to produoe a couple who have been
man and wife fur more than 63 years.
TWO MURDERERS EXECUTED
Montgomery and Asimus Pay
the Death Penalty.
Tbe Former Makes a Confession of
the Triple Murder for Wbloh
He Was ConvtotedV
A t.MiT. Or., Jan. 8L This morning at
7 o'clock. Lloyd Montgomery, the self-confused
murdorer of his father, mother snd
Daniel MoKsrcbsr, paid ths penalty of his
erlms by death on the gsllows. Tbe prls
oner exhibited considerable pluck, and did
not flinch upon ths scaffold. The execution
took plaes, as required by law, in sn en
closure In the Jail yard, and in the presence
of about SO people, there being, in addition
to the 12 sleotora, a number of newspaper
reporters, physicians, sheriffs of other
counties, ministers of ths gospel snd a few
other cltlsens, Tbe execution was per
formed with precision snd perfect order.
Last night ssveral ministers and members
of tbe Salvation Amy called on Mont
gomery and converted with bun. Tbey
prayed with blm and uraed blm to confeu
his sins and tall the whole truth. "I have
told the truth," be said. "I did not kill
my father and mother. When I made that
confession my wind was not clear, and I
was scared Into It. I did not have a fair
trial, and was rushed tbroogb to tbe gal
lows before I realised my situation. I had
never been away from borne, and old not
know what to do or say. But It la all over,
and I will die liks a man. Tbe people and
ths newspapers have condemned me. but
Ood knows I am Innocent, and I am not
afraid to meet him. I think bs will forglvs
my tins, and I will be out of my troubles."
Hs said hs waa not sleepy, and preferred
to talk to bis Jailers, visitors and fellow
prisoner on this, bis lost night on earth.
Hs was much pleated with a new suit of
elothlng furnlsbsd by Sheriff McFeron,
snd instated on putting them en at once.
He admired their fit and seemed very
proud of tbem. Hs rebsarsed tbe atory of
killing McKercber after ths latter bad
killed his parents. A notioeabls feature of
bit conversation, wss that hs spoke of ths
kllllns In an off-hand, reckless way. "Ufa
Is uncertain," bs remarked to a reporter.
"Mow, you might die yet before I do,"
meanwhile eating an apple with evident
relish.
About midnight he aaksd for some en
velopes. He seated himself atstmall table
snd wrote two letters to bis relatives st
Brownsville. Tbe scratching of hi pen
over tbe paper was the only sound to bs
beard. The watchers, oat of respect to bis
feelings In writing a but msesage to the
remnant of bis broken family, remained
perfectly quiet. Presently hs finished, and
some of ths visiting sheriffs asked him lo
play his violin. He did so, and played
"Horns, Sweet Horns." Thsre was not a
tremor in bis bead as bs drew tbe bow
across ths strings. The spectacle waa ons
not soon to bs forgotten. A youthful mur
derer, within a few hours to meet a misera
ble death on ths gsllows, sat quietly playing
the fiddle with as much on concern as if he
were seated by his own chimney corner,
He plsyed a few other selection ; gradually
ths music grew lower, snd hs fell asleep In
hit chair. Hit otUmate ahook him and
waked him up, and suggested that he lie
down, which be old, snd wss soon sound
asleep, and did not awaken until 4:30 A.
M., and then hs had to be shaken abarply
before be waked up.
Sheriff McFeron told him that be had
only a few hours mors to live, and that, If
hs had any requests to make, hs would do
anything he could for him. Hs aaksd to
ses a model of tbe trap upon wbloh be wss
to stand, which was shown him and Its
workings explained. He asked li a great
crowd would be present to see him hanged,
but was told that there would be only a
few. He said be wanted a prayer offered
for hla, and tbat he desired te say a few
words on ths scaffold. Hs was assured
that an opportunity would be offered.
Tbe sherift told blm the hour the execu
tion would take place, and admonished
him to tell the simple truth. During tbe
next hour Lloyd listened attentively to
earnest talks from Bev. J. M. Bbulae. of
the Methodist Episcopal church at Shedd;
Bev. J. E. Snyder, pastor ot tbe First
Presbyterian church at Brownsville, and
Bev. Klley Little, paster of the United
Presbyterian church of Albany. Ha said
be had placed bis reliance In Ood, and
wanted prayer tatd for him at the last.
Ha exhibited tvtry Indication of alncerlty,
butstili adhered to his story. Hs also con
verted with hit cellmate, young Fox, and
bit nttghbor, Joseph Hume, of Browns
ville. Tbey talked to blm until nearly 6
o'clock, and urged him not to go to bit
Maker with a lis upon bit lipt , but to tell
thttrath.
Montgomery was vsry much Impressed
with what Mr. Hume said. After a very
earnest entreaty, the doomed man burst
out crying and said he would confess all.
I am guilty," bs said; "I killed them all,
IwUl write it out."
Hs then wrote out the following state
ment: '
"I did it, I am guilty. O God, have
mercy on me. Take me as I am, a poor
sinner. I am sorry for what I have dons.
God, do hare mercy on my poor soul ; for
my sske, do, and forgive all my sins, each
and every ons ot tbem, and forgive those
who sin against me. Oh, God, help the
precious souls to tee ths way of life for my
sake. Do help them and guide them
through this tits."
The condemned man was then led to ths
scaffold and ths sxeautlon followed imme
diately after Montgomery bad been given
urns to offer prayer. ,
Charles Aslmua Hanged.
Kalama, Jan. 81. Cherlee Asimus, who
murdered James Greenwood Beptember 21,
last, disd on ths gallows this morning. Hs
slept fairly well laat sight, but woke up
some four or Ave times, and asked ths
guard what time It was. Hs said ha was
glad the time was so nesr, and wanted to
get up early so hs would be ready.
Last night hs spoke of his brother In
Utah several tlroee, saying, "My brother Is
big man, but bs baa a small heart."
Charles claim that wheo hi brother lived
In Portland, and had alokness and daath In
his family, hs furnished money to pay the
bills to ths amount of 2S0, but when this
trouble cams hla brother had no money for
him, and did not come to see him.
Tbe condemned man aroae and dressed
about 7 o'olook, ats a light breakfast with
about bis usual relish. Hs seemed brighter
and mors composed than he bad for sey
eral days. At sxactly 0:80 a. m. Asimus
cams out of bis cell and walked between
two deputy sheriffs up the steps of the scaf
fold, Aa soon as hs was In position on ths
drop bs oommsnctd talking In a hesitating,
disconnected manner. His words were :
"1 must die: I sm all riant; ths sheriff
he good man; one bed man, I must die.
I'm sll right."
While hs wss saying this the deputies
were strspping bis legs and arms and ad-
Justing the noose. Sheriff Watson touched
the lever st9:82a, m.and tbe body dropped
nine feet. The doctors reported bis pulse
tbe first minute, 107; second, 80; third, 68;
and then no further pulae was discernable.
Hswas pronounced dead at 9:89 and cut
down at 9.47. ;
Every detail patted off In ths tmootlicat
possible manner. About thirty people wit
nessed ths sxecutlon, mostly, sheriffs, doc
tors snd newspaper men. Among the sher
iffs attending were)
Gaston, of Thurston, Carpenter of Lewie,
Oolwell of Mason, and Sheriff Doan, of Co
lumbia county, Oregon, and Deputy
Sprasne, of Portland,
Sheriff Watson wat besieged with appli
cation! for admltsion, but hs issued Invita
tions only to sheriffs, a few lawyers, doo
tors, newspaper men and county officials,
and refused many other, thinking that
noli executions should be private, HI'
course Is approved by a majority of tbe peo
ple. Tbe execution was in direct contrast
to tbat of George Day, who was baageil In
the sams courtyard In June, 1802, for the
mnrder of a young man named Charles
Beebe. At Day's execution people from all
over tba county were present, tbe ocoasion
being mads a seml-bollday by tbe country
people, tbe hillside overlooking the court
bouse, yard and gallows being black with
lbs assembled inront.
