M PRICE CORNER 6TH AND MAIN STREET OREGON CITY, OREGON 4 MR. CROSS EXPLAINS. Oregon City, Or., May 29, 1906. Editor Enterprise: Mr. Brownell in his canvass of the County for re-election, in partial ex planation of the indictment against him for subornation of perjury in the United States Courts at Portland, now pending and awaiting trial, persists in the statement that in more or less measure I am responsible for his In dictment. I have hitherto refrained from making any explanations or an swers to his oft repeated charges, as some matters connected with the in dictment which came to me through confidential and friendly sources, were of such a nature that any open state ment by me. as friend and attorney, might be construed as a breach of professional propriety. But all facts connected with the indictment must come to the public sooner or later, and I now take the responsibility of stating my entire relation to the crim inal charge. Let me promise, by saying that 1 did not know that the examination of charges against Mr. Brownell were going on before the I'nited States Grand Jury up to the time my atten tion was attracted to it as I shall soon state. I never have spoken a word nor written a letter to Mr. Heney in my life time, nor sought in any manner to influence the District At torney or Grand Jury in any investi gation against Mr. Brownell or any one else; unless my professional and friendly advice to Fred Slevers, In the evening after his first day's ap pearance as a witness before the U. S. Grand Jury, makes me in some way responsible. Now I give the facts and I have abundant evidence at hand to prove their entire accuracy. On the evening in question at about 8:00 p. m., Mr. Fred Slevers. who is my neighbor, at Gladstone, came to my home and asked for a private in terview, and my advice, as to how best to extricate himself from a dangerous position into which he had unfortu nately gotten himself in his testimony before the 0. S. Grand Jury that day. His statement was that a few days before this, without full reflection and being exceedingly anxious to please an old friend and employer, he had promised Henry Meldrum and Mr Brownell t make certain statements before the Grand Jury tending to ex-1 onerate Mr. Brownell from criminal liability in the land fraud Investlga-1 twins then in progress, ami especially 1 he was asked to make representation as to how certain affidavits connected with the survey were sworn to. 1 1 do not need to go Into detail here. Suffice It to say he was Importuned to make false statements and In an un guarded moment he consented to make them anil he did He had been before the Grand Jury all day and in his own language he said. "I have had a hell of a time." "That man Heney has been on my neck all day." "And the Grand Jury have been lacking away at me too," "They know I have not been telling the truth and 1 know It too," "I have always tried to be an honest man and keep my word and tell -the truth anil it grinds me to think that I consented to make these statements and have gotten myself Into this trouble." Now my vital connection with the indictment came about Just here. Fred says: "Heney would not let me go to day, and I have to gii back to-morrow at ten o'clock and go on the stand again, and I want you to tell mo what to do to get myself out of this trouble for I am afraid I shall be Indicted." Much more was said but this was the puriort of It all. U I did anybody any harm or In Jury It was done at this point for I admit that my advice to Fred was very nearly in exact language as follows: "Fred, you have I ii led liitn it ureal mistake but there is only one thing to do. and that Is when you go hack In the morning, tell the whole truth and let the consequences lie what they may I submit that I could not. nor dare I tell him unythlng else and If this advice of mine to a young man whom I have known for more than thirty years, and who came to me In his d 1st rcs, was in anyway rcs,mnsl ble for the Indictment against Brown ell. I accept the responsibility with whatever consequences may follow. Fred was in gront trouble over the Condition in which he found himself, but his manhood came to the front, and he left me stating that lie would go down next day and tell the District OFFICIAL BALLOT Continued from page 7 PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Vote Yes or No 302 303 Yes For constitutional amendment for the Initiative and referendum on local, special, and municipal laws and parts of laws.

This no doubt, with other evidence in the MisHcsslon of the Grand Jury had something fo do with the luillrt un lit of Senator lirownell; but I sub mit that the responsibility for the In dlctment does not rest with me but with those who to shield themselves would Insist on such a grevloiis sncrl lice on the part of an over generous friend. And I submit also that In all fairness this friend, and he certainly proved himself a friend, ought not now to lie railed a "half-breed," nor held up to I shame In Clackamas county. He MP jUlBly Is entitled to our sympathy and pity, but never to abuse. II E. CROSS Unknown Friends.
