DICKENSON AND SON GO

Murderers of Hindu Sentenced-'-Sinclair Gets Six

Judge Mcfirldo passed sentonee
Tuesday on J. M. Dlckonson and his
aon William Dickenson, convicted last
Saturday of murder In the aecond de
gree on a charge of killing Harnan
Singh, a Hindu, near Boring, laHt Oc-to1)i-r.
Tho young man faced the crowd
ed courtroom and protested his Inno
cence, exclaiming "My conHdence la
clear, though my liberty la taken."
There wan a dramatic scene In
court when Walter Sinclair stood up
to be sentenced. Sinclair pleaded
guilty Monday and was not tried along
with Dickenson and his two aons, and
Karl Haiisler and John Riley. Judge
Mcllrlde stated that ho was inclined
to he lenient with Sinclair, though

vears In the penitentiary, while J. M
Dickenson and William Dlckenaon
were sentenced to life Imprisonment
When Riley and Ransier and John
' Dickenson stood up to receive sen
:tence. they were given a measure of

however, that If they atrayed from the
right path, sentence would be Imme
diately enforced. Ransier and Riley
were recommended to the mercy of
the court by the Jury, and young Dlok-
lenson's mother Interceded for him.
The three paroled prisoners are mere
boys. Dickenson waa charged to take
care of bis mother, who broke down
and sobbed audibly when her huaband
and aon William were sent to the peni
tentiary for life.
In passing sentence Judge McBrlde
took occasion to say that Hindus are
not wanted In thla country, and are

eral disposition on the part of some
people to Impose upon the timid and
nonreslstlng such as Hindus are, and
he complimented the Jury In returning
what he considers a very discriminat
ing verdict.
The case went to the Jury Friday
afternoon and court remained In ses
sion until 2 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, but no agreement was reached
until 5 o'clock when the Jury returned
a Bealed verdict. The conviction of
Dickenson and his son for murder In
the second degree occasioned no sur-

prise, but the belief was general that
the other men would be acquitted
The evidence was very conclusive,
showing that the five men, with Wal
ter Sinclair' and Vernon Hawes, were
angered because two Hindus had been
employed In Jarl & Pagh Bros. Lum
ber mill. The Hindus were living in
a little cabin near the mill at Boring
and after tbey had been there two
daya, the seven men went to Bandy
and drank more or less beer and then
returned to the mill and In the dark
ness fired shot after shot into the
cabin, one of the bullets from the rifle
of William Dickenson hitting Harnan
Singh, whose death resulted several
days later in a Portland hospital. The
crime was committed on the night of
