OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1008. GORDON E. HAYES ATTORNEY AT LAW Phone Main 62. Probate Practic a Specialty SIDELIGHTS THROWN ON OREGON POLITICS (Continued From Page 1.) received from members of the Oregon delegation. I at once conferred with Senator Mitchell, whom I told I could only convince Burns of my Innocence from all suspicions by surrendering this correspondence. Senator Mitchell advised me to turn over to Durns all such correspondence and since then I have given the Government all of the assistance I could in that direc tion. For this I do not expect any con sideration from the Government, which has no case against me. Why, a jury of Chinamen would acquit me on the spot and they don't know anything about land frauds, either. "At the session of 1903, Fulton and his friends thought I was entitled to something and decided to give me the District Attorneyship. I was given to understand that Hall was willing that I should have the office. Fulton had told me that the position was to be used to assist In securing his election to the United states Senate. But after Stelwer voted for Fulton I don't believe Hall ever expected that I would be appointed his successor. "Yes, I probably wrote a letter to Mitchell In 1902, indorsing Hall, but I was writing letters for nearly every body then, even tried one time to get something for Mrs. Woodcock." Brownell's letter to Mitchell, April 2, 1902, was Introduced by the defense. In that letter Brownell said he had concluded that after looking over the situation in Multnomah County he had decided that it would be better for Hall to be retained in his position, as it would be more satisfactory to Mitch ell and to the party than to have a new man named. Brownell further testified that the first intimation he had that the Government had him un der suspicion was late in the fall of 1902, before he was elected President of the Senate, when he was so advised in . a conversation with Jonathan Bourne, Jr., Mr. Gates, of Washington County, and W. P. Keady. The scheme at that time, testified Brownell, was to get him to recommend Mr. Gates as successor to Henry Meldrum, United States Surveyor-General for Oregon. At that time Bourne told Brownell that Greene had told Gates that Brownell had at one time improperly used his notarial seal in acknowledg ing some survey applications. The following letter was offered as evidence in the Hall case, but was re jected, because it did not relate to the case at bar. The letter.however, coming from Mr. Brownell to Senator Mitchell, throws some interesting sidelights on Oregon politics, and it is produced: Oregon City, Or., Oct. 28, 1903. Hon. John H. Mitchell, U. S. Sen ate, Washington, D. C My Dear Sir and Friend: As I told you at the time, I knew that Hall would try to make it appear that I had some connection with Meldrum and Wagner in some things that occurred in the Surveyor General's office; He called me to see him yesterday, the grand jury being in session, and threatened me, of course claiming that Hitchcock and over. If Fulton had done what he ought to have done, I would have had the plice when he weut back to take his oath of office. Hall has boon given all opportunity to work every conceiva ble string against me that he could and now 1 believe that Fulton knew It and has expected him to do it and has stood in with him. You must re member that uuless Campbell gets this place I am at the end of my string so far as reorganizing Clackamas County. You must remember that my present strength in this county for renominatlon is based upon mv com bination with Dlmlck for County Judge, bchuebel lor chairman of the county central commltee in place of J. U. Sincerely regretting that you havo become Involved In thin trouble, and I am sure you have not been guilty of anything for which you should bo Indicted, I am, sincerely your friend, , (Sinned) JOHN H. MITCH HL.L,, P. S. As yet, as per request con tained In your telegram, I have not shown any of your letters to Fulton. CAPTAIN LARKIN3 13 DEAD.

Committee on Coast Defenses, Unit ed States Senate, Washington, D. C, Nov. 2, 1903, Hon. George C. Brownell, Attorney at Law, Oregon City, Or. My Dear Friend Brownell: I am this morning In receipt of your three letters, one dated Oregon City, Octo ber 20, but mail marked October 28; the next of date October 27, and the other without date, but mailed the same date, October 28, consequently I am unable to say which of the latter two was written first' Now, my friend, I am perfectly as tounded and grieved beyond expres sion not at you, I do not mean this, but at the man who has threatened you and driven you to do what you have done in the way of giving letters. I am writing you now in absolute confi dence. What he has done, if brought to the attention of the Department, would not only prevent his reappoint ment, but would result In his removal most unceremoniously. No prosecut ing officer, whether he has a case or has not, against any man, has any right to agree to withhold the prosecu tion, the consideration being an In dorsement for him for reappointment. As I say, I am amazed beyond expres sion that he would do a thing of that kind and but for your positive state ment to the contrary, I should not be lieve it. You are, however, I am sure, absolutely wrong in regard to Fulton. Ever since he came here in frequent talks I have had with him he has ear nestly adhered to his intention to sup port Campbell for the place as he promised you he would do before leav ing. I cannot believe that he told Hall that Campbell was to be appoint ed. Upon the contrary, my dear friend, and now I am going to tell you Oregon City, Wednesday, at 2 p. n. OREGON PIONEER OF 1845. F. Newman, Former Oregon City Hotel Man, Passes Away. B. F. Newman, one of Oregon's old est pioneers, who died in Portland a few days ago, was born In Lee County Iowa, in 1840. When he was five years old he came to Oregon with his parents, the Newmans coming In party of thirty families. They located at The Dalles, but the Newmnns moved to Salem soon after, where they settled on a donation land claim Mr. Newman's father was killed by the Indians, and. upon his death, B. F Newman and his mother moved to Oregon City in the early 70s. The deceased had five brothers, and two sisters, of whom G. W Newman, of Los Angeles County. Cal.. Is left. B. F. Newman married Miss Ella J Hawkins In 1874, and thore were born to them five daughters and two sons. Of these the following survive hlra: E. Newman, Mrs. Joseph SloBsen, Mrs. C. Gasnell, and Miss Maty Newman, all of Portland; Mrs. Ethel Davis, of Forest Grove, and Mrs. J. Donnelly, of Sacramento, Cal. Mr. Newman was In the hotel bus! ness In Oregon City In the early days and had a wide acquaintance among the early settlers. He moved to Port land in 1892, where he had since lived. His remains were interred in River view Cemetery beside those of his wife in the family plot. Miss Isobel Nourse. Miss Isobel Nourse died at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon at her home In this city. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the manse of ,the First Presby- terlnn Phnrph Rev D A Thnmnson. j something; you told it yourself and I of gen,,,!, officiating. Miss Nourse was born in Milroy, Pa., and at the Green were pressing him to this. He I wiii tell vou when you did It. as I gave me to understand, after I told j heard of it shortly afterward from two him that I was in no way connected j different sources. You remember, my and in no way to blame, that even if I was not, the fact of my being in dicted would destroy my - political chances, as The Oregonian would mag nify it. I am now satisfied that Ful ton has known about this all along, as dear friend, when you took a little too much beer for a few days some time before we left. While under its influ ence you did some talking that you would not have done but for the beer. Two different men with whom you the night he went away to Washing- talked of politics and various sundry ton I cautioned him about informing J things, came to me and asked me if Han anoui tne arrangements to giveit was true that Campbell was to be this place to Campbell. If Fulton had I appointed. I told them I had heard done as I asked him to do, Hall would nothing of the matter. They then not now be pressing me, as I had told told me you na(j gai(j that was to be Hall that day that I had released Ful- r the outcome of the whole business, ton so far as I was concerned. I ex-1 wnich I denied most emphatically. I plained all this to Fulton and he said am sure you are wrong In blaming Ful to me that he would simply tell Hall ton, at least I believe you are, be that he did not know what the dele- cause from the very first, in all our gatlon was going to do and could not talks from the time I returned to Or tell until they met in Washington. Hall egon last summer up to the present now tells me that Fulton told him time Fulton has stood squarely and that Campbell was to be appointed and I solidly for you personally, or, in the I was to have the divison of his sal-1 event you did not want it, then for ary. ' He finally said to me that if I j whoever you might wish to have the was going to give him a letter to you j place. As the matter now stands I and to Fulton Indorsing him as United States District Attorney, that he would stop any proceedings against me, and as an evidence of the value of his ser vices, tel's me that he would have am at a loss to know, from all your letters taken together, notwithstand ing all that has taken place, if it is still your wish if we cannot agree upon you or Moreland, that we should unite trouble with Hitchcock and Greene, ; jn agreeing upon Campbell, or whether age of one and one-half years went with her parents to Wisconsin, where she lived practically all her life. She came to Oregon City about two years ago. and since then has made one visit to Wisconsin. She is mourned by a large circle of friends. Miss Nourse was a sister of Mrs. J. Robert Lands borough, wife of the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Miss Theresa Hedke. Theresa Hedke. aged 25 years, died Monday at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Hedke, 115 Eighteenth Street. She had been ill several years. Deceased came here with her parents about seven years ago from Chicago. The funeral was held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon from the Ger man Lutheran Church, Rev. W. R. Kraxberger officiating, as they were very anxious to have an indictment brought in against Mel drum, Wagner and myself. Therefore I wrote him such a letter, indorsing him to you and Fulton both, for U. S. District Attorney. F. C. Baker, who you really desire that we should ask the reappointment of Hall. I want to do in this matter just what is for your interest and that which will protect you and help you in every possible way. I think you have been treated is chairman of the state committee, shamefully In this matter by Hall, and advised me to do this and said he would see you and Fulton and insist that I did right in doing it. Now, my dear friend, it is up to you and Fulton to say whether I am going to suffer as at present advised, I tell yon I do not feel very much like asking his re appointment. Let me hear from you fully and plainly upon receipt of this letter as to just precisely what you any more in order to let Hall hold think should be done. Phone 22 Res. Phone 2633 Geo. W.
