.OREGON CITY, Nov. 2. To W. S.
U'Ren, Sir: In the current edition
of the Courier you ask me a number
of questions, which I am to answer
before election day to your satisfac
tion and to the satisfaction of every
voter. As far as this concerns Mr.
Noyer's questions, I would have an
swered long ago, only the fact that
I have more common sense than cer
tain men who advised me from re
plying. If you insist I will answer
both you and Mr. Noyer's questions,
but after election let us consider the
matter closed.'
You wish to know first why I did
not make a public answer to thosa
questions which Mr. Noyer asked me
through the Courier. Because, as I
said, I had too much common sense
for such a course. One of your near
est friends' and some of his friends,
who are' also my friends, implored
me not to publish an answer. I great
ly desired to reply and also wrote an
answer but desisted, for what will a
man not do to harm others?
Secondly, you wish to know why 1
withdrew from the active campaign
shortly after the publication of Noy
er's questions, and why I have not
gone to the political meetings with
the other candidates since that time.
I withdrew from the active cam
paign because I was too busy with my
private affairs. I frequently told my
companions in the race that I could
not possibly spend so much of my
time campaigning as I had too much
other work to attend to, and secondly
I withdrew and did not reply because
I had grave suspicions that Mr. Noy
er was not the real author of those
questions but only a tool in the hands
of some man or men, .and thus my

EVIDENCE QUOTED BY HIM AS PROOF
Prosecutor Asserts that He Was Ask
ed to Have Suspect Indicted
Without Any
Proof
District Attorney Tongue, who is a
candidate for re-election, at a Repub
lican meeting in Woodmen Hall Sat
urday evening, scored Sheriff Mass,
also a candidate for re-election and ,
Private Detective L. L. Levings, who
assisted the sheriff in trying to find
tne Hill murderer. The speaker said
that the sheriif had criticised him in
public addresses and otherwise iu
connection wuli the prosecution of an
alleged suspect, and that he felt it
his duty to give the facts.
"I never would have uttered a word
against Mr. Mass," said the speaker,
"if he had not made charges agaiast
me.. Now that he has I consider it
my duty to myself and my constitu
ents to tell the whole story.
Mr. Tongue spoke for about two
hours, and defined Tiis attitude in the
murder probe by reading from the
record. He said that Mass and Lev
ings had not played fair with him
they had tried to fasten the crime
upon a man without having the evi
dence, and that the Bheriff had been
prompted throughout by a desire to
make capital that would aid him in
re-election and put the blame for not
finding the STayer and having him con
victed upon the district attorney.
The speaker intimated that the
sheriff and Levings were more inter
ested in obtaining the reward oSeied
for the capture of the murderer than
anything else. He recited how hs
had been asked by Mass to go to Lev
ings' office in Portland, and when he
arrived there the detective had told
him plainly that the grand jury want
ed to indict a certain man. He said
Mass even told BTm unress that man
was convicEed he (Tongue) would not
