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

Attorney ami the Grand Jury the
whole truth no matter who II helped
or who It hurt
In a conversation had with me later
I ascertained from him that he had
made a Clean breast of the whole mat
tcr in Mr Heney ami the Grand Jury
How he had been Importuned to make
such certain false statements hs un
fortunate consent, ami who were l he
guilty parties ami the truth about the
entire transaction.
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.
