PROVE BREEN A UAH.
Story of Brittain Child Being Held at
Tollgate In Fale,
In regard to the settlement of the
truth or falsehood of the notorious
convict Breen, who claimed to have
knowledge of the Whereabouts of Ce
cil Brittain, the Walla Walla Union'
says: :
In order to convince the parents of
Cecil Brittain, who waa lost at Toll
gate July IS, 1906, that his stories are
merely the vaporlngs of a "dope
fiend," wl(hout any foundation what
ever, It was decided yesterday to give
James Breen- a ' final opportunity to
show what he knows about the where
abouts of the boy, whom he claims he
can return to Mr. and Mrs. Brittain If
given a final opportunity. . t
Breen will be taken to Tollgate In
an automobile, chained to the guards
from the prison who will accompany
Mm, so there will be absolutely no
tinnce of escape. Captain Smith, of
the penitentiary guards,. Mrs. Brittain.
and another officer from the prison
will make the trip, and expect to re
turn about o'clock tomorrow eve-
miMi , , . I . .....
It Is thought that after Breen ar
rives at the Tollgate he will hedge and
admit that he knows nothing of the
boy, Or will, on the other hand, tell a
story about the boy having been taken
Into the fastnesses of the mountains.
In case he makes good his word and
returns the lad he will be given his
freedom If not, he will be doomed to
end the remainder of his days In the
penitentiary. .
Sheriff Till Taylor of Umatilla
county, held a conference with Depu
ty Sheriff Painter of Walla Walla
yesterday and Painter said that noth
ing came of the trip to the mountains.
While he had not heard the details of
Rreen's tale when the party arrived at
the Tollgate, he said in substance that
the convict put on another of his
smooth lies about the party having the
boy moving out of the country.
