BOSS INDICTED
'LAST OF ROAD . HOUSES' NOW
DOOMED BY GRAND JURY
- INDlCTjMENT
GOVERNOR WEST HAD EYE ON PLACE
Erickson's Place, Which Has Been
Mecca of Portland Joy-Riders
for Months, is Hit By
Authorities
What is generally referred to as
"the last of the Portland road
hourses'' is now believed to be doom
ed, following the indictment and ar
rest of its proprietor, August Erick
son. The Clackamas county grand
jury, which has been investigating
the place known as "The Clackamas
Tavern,'' for some days, based its in
dictment upon the new state law,
passed by the last session of the leg
islature, which prohibits the sale of
liquor outside of incorporated towns.
The indictment was placed in Judge
Campbell's hands late Saturday after
noon, but the bench warrant was not
issued until early Monday morning.
Sheriff Mass at once went to the
tavern and placed Erickson under ar
rest. Bail was et at $500, and Erick
son procured this and returned to re
sort late Monday afternoon.
When former Sheriff Stevens, of
Multnomah county, started his cru
sade upon the Linton road resorts,
and when Governor West took up his
spectacular campaign against other
places, including the Milwaukie Tav
ern, it was generally believed tan
Erickson's place had but a few days
to last. Its remoteness from centers
of population, however, and the fact
that it was conducted with a reason
able amount of quietness and de
corum, left it untouched until the be
coming effective of the law passed by
the last session of the legislaure.
Within the month a number of
things combined to bring the place
under the scrutiny of officials of the
county. Early in the month Japanese
waiters employed in the resort com
plained to Sheriff Mass that they
were not getting their money. One
of them said he bad loaned the pro
prietor $200, and that ha could not get
it back. About ten days ago further
trouble over financial matter arose
between the Japanese servants and
Erickson, and Sheriff Mass went out
to the place to investigate the-tttss.
At this time the grand jury was al
ready investigating the resort, so
Sheriff Mass took no action, beyond
advising the servants to keep a strict
accounting of all money they took in.
The night following this the Japan
ese voluntarily brought in to the
sheriff's office $147.20, which they
said was the money collected from
customers during the previous night.
The sheriff held the money over night
for safe-keeping, and the next day re
turned it to the waiters, advising
them to settle with the proprietor and
end their disputes.
Some two or three nights after this,
when Governor,, West came to Oregon
City -to U u. the "rioting" situa
tion in th-J mills, he talked with
Sheriff Mt-ssiToout the Clackamas
Tavern, and asked him why it was al
lowed to run. Mr. Mass told the gov
ernor that he had turned over to the

place, and was expecting action by
the inquisitors at any time. The gov
ernor replied that it was not neces
sary for the grand jury to act, as un
der the new law liquor could not legal
ly be sold outside of an incorporated
town. The sheriff answered that he
knew that, and added that if the
grand jury did not return an indict
ment, he would take action himself as
soon as he could secure new evidence.

GRAND JURY SEES NO GUILT !N
USE OF REVOLVER BY t . I
HOME. PHONE MAN
OSWEGO RIOTING CASE RECALLED
Man of Many Aliases Again Liable to
Arrest Upon Charge of Break
ing From State Peniten
tiary at Rawlins
In the opinion oj the Clackamas
county grand jury J. C. Ainsberry,
alias C. L. Armsbery, and also known
"W. W. Warren" and "Bert Lawson,'
is not guilty of assault with a deadly
weapon, and the inquisitors have re
turned a not true bill in his case. Un
der this ruling Ainsberry is now re
leased from, the $1,000 cash bond put
up for him by the Home Telephone
company, it is liable to arrest at any
time as a fugitive from the state pen
itentiary at Rawlins, Wyoming, anl
also as a fugitive and parole breaker
from San Quentin penitentiary, Cali
fornia. .
Ainsberry, whose record is picturs
que in the extreme, was arrested at
Oswego, May 19, for shooting Fred
Ream, of Willamette, in the groin in
the course of a riot between union
linemen and men in the employ of
the Home Telephone company. When
arraigned he pleaded that he had shot
only in self-defense, and was bound
over in $1,$00 cash bail to await the
action of the grand jury. The bail
was put up in cash, but Ainsberry re
fused to permit the court accept it,
saying that he might be re-arrested
at any time as a fugitive from Cali
fornia, admitting that he had broken
his parole from San Quentin. He was
then locked up.
A day or so later he was released
on habeas corpus proceeding, brought
in his behalf by J. E. Hedges. He then
went to his home in Lents, the Home
Telephone company putting up $1,030
cash bail for him on the charge grow
ing out of the rioting. At his home
he was arrested by Archie Leonard,
assistant chief special agent of the
Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navi
gation company, on the charge of be
ing an escaped convict from - the
Wyoming penitentiary at Rawlins,
where he had been sentenced to a
three-year term for .robbing box-cars
at Cheyenne, and from whence he
had escaped with two other convicts
45 days later. Ainsberry admitted
the charge, and also volunteered the
information that he had also been
confined in the Nevada penitentiary.
He was locked in the couny jail in
Portland following this arrest
While in the custody of Sheriff
Tom Word, Ainsberry was taken to
Salem to see Governor West, as a re
quest for his extradition had been
made by the Wyoming authorities.
Governor West refused to release the
prisoner, saying that he thought he
ought to be held to answer to the
more serious charge of using a deadly
weapon. To the governor Ainsberry
admitted his criminal career, but said
that since he had married he was try
ing to reform. Taken back to Port
land by Sheriff Word, Ainsberry was
habeas corpus 3d out again, and then

3 YEARS IN JAIL
NEW YORK, June 23. Porter
Charlton, who the supreme court of
the United States recently decided
must be returned to Italy to be tried
for the murder of his wife, completed
his third year as a prisoner in the
Hudson county jail in New Jersey.
Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton was
murdered in Italy in the early part
of June, 1910. The body, having been
put into a trunk and thrown into
Lake Como, was soon found, but not
until Charlton had fled and was on
the sea bound for New York. He ar
rived here on June 22, 1910, and with
in an hour after his arrest he con
fessed to the Hoboken police that he
was guilty of the crime charged
against him.
. Charlton was promptly committed
to the Hudson county jail. He has
been there ever since, while his fam
ily and counsel have exhausted every
means known to the law to prevent
his extradition to Italy. Two weeks
ago the last hope was lost when the
supreme court decided that the con
fessed murderer must be surrendered
to the Italian authorities.
It is expected that within another
month young Charlton will be on his
way back to Italy in the custody of
the Italian police. Even had he not
confessed his crime, it is believed that
the young nJan would have little
chances of escaping conviction, as
under the Italian system a prisoner is
supposed to be guilty until proved in
nocent. There is no death penality in
Italy, and if Charlton is convicted he
will probably get a sentence of twen
ty years in prison, ten of them in sol
itary confinement.
