PORTLAND, June 12, (Special.)
That H. E. Roberts has, admitted to
certain persons he killed Donald
Stewart on the Whitehouse road on
the evening of March 29 was the
statement this morning of Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Fitzgerald in his open
ing statement to the jury.
Another bit of strong circumstant
ial evidence brought to light by Fitz
gerald in his statement was the recit
al of how Sheriff Stevens and his dep
uties found a piece- of leather from
the back of a pair of suspenders. The
piece exactly fits . the suspenders
found .on Roberts when he was arrest
ed, it is contended. This leather was
found in the abandoned house near
the scene of the crime, known as the
Old Jonathan Tice" house.
Link after link of circumstantial evi
dence was related. The attorney close
ly connected Roberts with the crime
also by the peculiar pump gun, gun
ads and buckshot. He said that gun
wads found on the ground at the
scene of the crime compare exactly
with wads found on Roberts when ar
rested. Buckshot taken from the
bodies of the victims also correspond
to buckshot found on Roberts, it is
said.
The state also will show, said the
district attorney, that the crime was
committeed on a bright moonlight
ight, that the auto lights added fur
ther light thereby, allowing the men
in the machine to get a good impres
sion of the man who did the shooting.
H. L. Taft, one of the students in the
auto remaining to tell the story, will
testify that he positively recognizes
Roberts as the man who did the shoot
ing. He testified to this before the
coroner's inquest, saying that the
moonlight and auto lights made it suf
ficiently light to easly discern the face
of the man and that man is- Roberts.
Evidence shows the students saw a
man standing in the road fully 100
fe'et before they passed him. As they
passed the gun was leveled upon
them, and they were commanded to
stop. One of the students said: "la
this a joke?" meaning the holdup. The
man replied: "This is no joke, it's a
holdup." Following this statement,
the three shots were fired, two of
which took effect in the heads of Don
ald Stewart and George Hastings.
The defense stated positively this
morning that it ' will rely upon the
plea of insanity. This question came
up when Attorney Fred Whitfield ask
ed the court to be allowed to make
the opening statement for Roberts
after the state rests its case. To this
request the state objected. It was
finally agreed that the defense should
state its theory, and make known the
details of the insanity plea later.
The mother, Mrs. Mary E. Pfeifer,
and stepfather of Roberts arrived this
morning. Judge Morrow stated he
would-send to jail anyone found tam
pering with the jury. It will not be
locked up.
