TMED TO BUY POISON
DETECTIVES MAKIXCrCASE AGAEfST
ELLSWORTH.
TIio- Chain Sot Yet Complete Tlie
- Grand Jury Indicts tlie
Prisoner.
Slowly the Unks In a chain of circum
stantial evidence, showing that the death
of Edith Ellsworth was due to poteen, ad
ministered by her husband, Walter E.
BllsworU), are being woven.
Yesterday was the time set for the ex
amination of Ellsworth in the municipal
court, but no preliminary hearing took
place, for the good reason that the grand
Jury had investigated the charge and
returned a true ihII, charging the prisoner
with murder in the first degree. K either
ISiluworth nor hjs attorney was prepared
for iiucli speedy action on part of the
grand Jury. It was anticipated that, in
order to make out a strong case against
the defendant, the prosecution would pre
sent all its evidence at the preliminary
examination, thus giving the defense a
knowledge of what the state would have"
to depend upon, and also an opportunity
to combat the proof so offered with such
testimony and statements as could be
secured. That this was not necessary is
a disappointment to the prisoner, and the
finding of an indictment against him and
his transfer to the county prison causes
Ellsworth to now realize more poignantly
the seriousness of the charge that con
fronts him.
The detectives have not yet discovered
where Ellsworth procured the strychnine,
but yet hope to secure information which
will complete the chain of evidence
a'gainst him. But, while not successful
in this effort, it will be shown that Ells
worth endeavored to buy a quantity of
strychnine in Portland, but was refused.
Mr. Clarence Illidge. a clerk in the drug
store of Humason & Streibig, will be an
Important witness in this regard. He will
testify that some time in January Ells
worth came Into the store one evening,
acting in a strangely nervous manner,
and, approaching the counter, said:
"I want some strychnine. I don't want
a whole bottle, but just a few grains."
Mr. Illidge took a good look at the
man, wondering at his peculiar manner,
and said:
"Sir, you cannot have it. I would not
sell a few grains of strychnine to my
best friend."
His demand for the poison denied, Ells
worth gave Mr. Illidge a furtive glance,
turned on his heel, and walked out the
store. After Ellsworth's arrest he was
fully identified by Illidge as the man who
had sought to secure strychnine from him.
The defense that Ellsworth will make
at his trial will be that his wife took Uie
poison herself, and thus carried out a
threat she had made at a previous time,
that sometime, when suffering from vio
lent headache attacks, she would make
way with herself. In substantiation of
this theory. Ellsworth will doubtless rely
upon the evidence of Mrs. F. H. Prehn,
Mrs. M. Richards and Mrs. Lucy East
man, all of whom were before the grand
jury on Tuesday to testify. "Whatever
these women may state upon the stand, it
will hardly be favorable to the prisoner,
only in so far that one of them did hear
Mrs. Ellsworth say on one occasion that,
when suffering from headache, she would
be tempted to take something if she had
It. None of the women believe for a
moment that Mrs. Ellsworth took the
poison herself, and ridicule the idea. Mrs.
Ellsworth was regarded as a lovable little
woman by those of her neighbors whom
she had met. They took a great liking
to her, and, knowing she suffered a great
deal of sorrow on account of her hus
band's treatment, they sympathized with
har.
The marital relations of Mr. and Mrs.
Ellsworth were not entirely pleasant.
Ellsworth was in the habit of deceiving
his wife regarding his mode of spending
evonings. To one or two of her new
found friends in Portland she confided
some of her troubles, and, up to the
dey of her death, the woman believed that
her husband was employed late at night
in newspaper work, and he would lament
the fact that his duties prevented his
spending his evenings with her. In nar
rating incidents of her married life, she
told that once in St. Louis, Ellsworth
remained away from her until late at
night for two weeks, giving as an excuse
that he was employed in some occupation
taking up so much of his time. Finally
she wont one night to the place he said
he was working, and found out he had
never been employed there.
The story told by Ellsworth regarding
his meeting with his wife and marriage,
does not agree with that related by Mrs.
Ellsworth to her frineds here. She said
her home was near Brooklyn, N. Y.t where
her mother lives. She ran away from
home and married Ellsworth, and had
not heard from her folks for several
years. She had never done any work in
hor life, excepting for a time at Caspar,
Dak., when she assisted her husband in
his ofllce while publishing a paper. When
they arrived in Portland she had about
$500 of her own, which was deposited in
a bank, but frequent drafts made upon it
reduced the amount to a very small sum.
Mrs. Ellsworth also told her friends that
her husband said, when things got in
shape, he would spend all his evenings
with her at home, but he never did. Y.'hen
he went into the illusion business, and
became a partner in "Pharaoh's Daugh
ter," she was greatly disgusted and re
fused ever to go near the place where
the exhibition was given. Some little time
before her death Mrs. Ellsworth made
up her mind, through the explanations
h continually gave, that her husband
was deceiving her. and she was more or
less worried on this account.
Chief Miiito, of the police department,
and the detectives are still working on
the case, in the hone of llnding where
ISllsworth purchased the strychnine. With
this end In view, & number of druggists
and proscription clerks have called at
the central station to see the prisoner in
order to identify him as one to whom the
poison was sold, but, so far, none have
been able to do so.
THE TRIP NOT A SUCCESS
The Snlcm Visitors lleturn. Ilonie
3Iucli Disgusted.
The members of the Portland Bureau
of Transportation and the Chamber of
Csmmerce who went to Salem Tuesday
evening on a special train, returned home
a hugely disgusted crowd.
Thuir appearance on the floor of the
etate capitol. urging the passage of Booth
bvs portage road bill, was as happy in
its results as waving a red flag in front
of a wild bull. The crowd was regarded
a & lot of Portland schemers, on whom
the legislature jumped with both feet.
It was said that the visitors wanted the
bill passed to make money out of it.
The Boothby bill was made a special or
der for 7:3 o'clock, but a combination
was made and a lot of other bills were
gives precedence. The Portland talent
was scattered all over the house, and,
every time one of them would get a
member up to ask consideration of the
special order, the opposition woukl shy
a parlimentary brick at him. The delega
tion retired in disgust, and, reaching the
station, found the special train would
be delayed on account of some kind of
an accident to the engine. This made the
crowd all the hotter, and it was not un
til nearly 11 o'clock that a start for
home was made. They reached Portland
at 1 A. M.. found all the cars stopped, and
carriages had to be hired in order to reach
their, respective homes. To cap the cli
max, "when the business men got up yes
terday morning, looked ever their paper,
and .found the Bootbby bill was not only
snowed under but most of the Multno
xaeh vdoleatIon had voted against It,
they were seized with a second edition of
disgust and went down town "wondering
who was to blame for getting up the
special excursion to Salem, and how to
get even on the originator of the scheme.
A 'FENCE" LOCATED.
And Tvo Receiver of Stolen Goods
Under Arrest.
The detectives' room at the central po
lice station, last night, presented the ap
pearance of a sample room for a general
supply establishment. There was a great
lot of carpenter tools, stacks of sheets,
bedclothlng and underwear, stolen from
clotheslines; an assortment of watches,
valuable rings, opera-glasses, loose stones
and charms, all presumably stolen prop
erty, captured at a Third-street "fence"
kept by Abraham B. Burger, and at his
residence, 271 Ankeny street, over which
his wife, Sarah, presides and calls herself
cashier for ner husband.
For many weeks past complaint has
been made almost daily of petty thieveries,
the victims generally being carpenters,
who went to their shops in the morning
only to And all their tcols gone; house
wives, who had their week's washing dis
appear from the clothesline, and other
persons who lad lost clothing, jewelry
and other articles in seme mysterious way.
Chief Minto, rome days ago, perfected a
plan by which recovery of the stolen
goods would be made possible, and, de
tailing detectives Hclsapple, Day, Grif
fin and Simmons, they were put in charge
of the case. The second-hand store at GCVi
Third street, conducted by Burger, came
under suspicion, and yesterday a warrant
was issued to search not only these prem
ises, but also the residence of the proprie
tor, on Ankeny street. Detective Day
watched the store while the others raid
ed the Ankeny-street plant, and he had
the satisfaction of seeing Burger, who
some way got a tip, removing a quantity
of goods from his store, throwing tools
and other articles out of the rear window.
He was evidently ins-pired with a sud
den desire to get rid of some of his stock
at a dead loss, rather than have it found
In his possession.
The visit to the Ankeny-street branch
of the "fence" was a surprise party to
Mrs. Burger, but she could only look on
in stupid amazement, as the officers went
through the place, unearthing quantities
of stolen goods. Some of the tools re
covered are the property of Crandall &
Cobb, carpenters, but there is still a large
miscellaneous lot that is not yet identi
fied. Among the lot of stolen goods is
one pair of pearl opera-glasses, with the
word "Nellie" engraved between the tubes;
one set of dental tools; a physician's
pocketcase of instruments; one gold watch;
one open-face silver watch; one ladles'
gold watch; one pair broad-band gold
bracelets; a star and crescent scarfpin;
diamond rings, and a lot of loose opals
and other stones. There is also a quan
tity of bedclozhing and underwear, some
of which Is marked.
When Burger and his wife were taken
into custody and esccrted to the central
station, they became very uncommuni
cative. The woman was placed In charge
of Matron Burke,, while her husband was
given quarters on the same floor, but in
the other end of the building. They re
tained Stott, Boise & Stout as attorneys,
and their examination In the municipal
court will possibly take place today. Judge
Smith fixed their bonds at $1300.
About 9:30 Burger and wife furnished
bonds of $1500 each, and were discharged
from custody, to appear before the police
court today for examination.
o
TO HELP INDIAN WOMEN
Dr. Kara Organizes nn Orepron Soci
ety in Portland.
Dr. Jinda Ram, of Punjab, India, who is
here in the interest of the women of his
country, was given a reception yesterday
afternon by Dr. Mary A. Thompson, at
her residence, 42S Sixth street. Quite a
number of ladies and gentlemen inter
ested in Dr. Rain's mission assembled to
hear him lay his case before them.
The doctor spoke of the causes which led
him to attempt the work, and of the ne
cessity of a strictly nonsectarian primary
educational system for his people. After
some consideration of the subject, it was
decided to organize an association to be
known as the "Oregon Society for the
Education and Liberation of the Women
of India." The following are the officers
elected: President, Dr. Frances A. Cady;
first vice-president, Mrs. C. Dunlap; sec
ond vice-president, Mrs. R. F. Burrell;
secretary. Mr. William H. Galvani; treas
urer. Dr. Mary A. Thompson. All present
have signed the roll, and it was decided to
keep the list open for the reception of
charter members until some future date.
The following is the prospectus of the
organization:
"The object of the society is fully ex
plained in its name. It is international
and nonsectarian; the world is its coun
try: truth and humanity its religion. It
recognizes the fact that in the dawn of
the 20th century there exists upon the
face of the globe an untold number of
women who are, to all Intents and pur
poses, slaves; and that they live in their
bondage of ignorance right under the
shadow of our modern civilization. That
these women, who descended from a race
which led in all ancient wisdom and en
lightenment, should be brought back to
something of the pristine glory of their
ancestors, by education, and that this
blot of their subjugation be removed from
the banner of our advanced civilization,
are the objects of this society.
"To the women of all enlightened coun
tries we especially appeal. To men who
have the common cause of humanity at
heart; to leaders in all the different lines
of philanthropic work, we come in search
for co-operation and assistance. We do not
ask you to bolster up a creed or main
tain a religious sect. We ask no aid for
the support of priests, or for missionary
propagandism; we go deeper down to the
root principle education; and believe that
in giving knowledge to India's women we
give them freedom and religion.
"Our object is tremendous and daring;
our plan of work, simple. We wish to an
nex orco-operate with all similar societies
working for the cause of women. We
wish to enlist members from every coun
try on the globe who will earnestly com
bine in supporting kindergarten teachers
for the coming women of India.
"We have no fanatical views or aims;
we would work slowly but surely, taking
very young female children and educating
them as future teachers for their sisters.
"Enough has been said; this prospectus
will complete itself in your own minds.
Help us, and in doing so strike one more
blow for universal freedom."
The next meeting will be held on next
Saturday, at 18S Sixth street, at 3 o'clock
P. M.

The Century War Book, In portfolio

A IEW CM DOG LAW
OVOfERS TO PAY LICENSE FOR
FULL, XOT HALF, A YEAR. "
Street Railvray Franchise Amended
An Old East Portland
-BUI Paid.
The meeting of the common council yes
terday was rather a tame affair, no busi
ness of importance being transacted. All
the members were present, except Presi
dent Malone, who is supposed to be at
Salem, awaiting the final action o the leg
islature on the charter bill.
Mr. Jones introduced an ordinance
amending the ordinance providing for li
censing dogs. It provides that no licenses
shall be issued for less than one year. It
has heretofore been the custom to allow
persons "to take out licenses after March
1 for half a year. As these licenses are
issued to persons who have made payment
for the first half of the year. It has been
complained that this is not just toward
persons who have paid license for the full
year. The ordinance was passed under
suspension of the rules; and so those who
have been smuggling their dogs through,
hoping to get off with half a year's li
cense, will be left.
TO AMEND A FRANCHISE.
An ordnance was Introduced to amend
the ordinance granting a franchise to the
Transcontinental Street Hallway Com
pany (the old Third-street line), now a part
of the City & Suburban system. Mr.
Rumelin stated that the approach to
the steel bridge was scon to be moved
from the lower end of Third street onto
the grounds of the Terminal Company,
between Third street and the company's
roundhouse, and the object of the amend
ment to the franchise was to enable the
railway company to extend its track across
the sidewalk so as to connect with
the approach in its new location. The or
dinance was passed under suspension of
the rules.
AN OLD BILL PAID.
The special light and water committee
reported that it had been negotiating
with the Edison General Electric Com
pany to accept the face value of its bill
for extra poles, wire, etc., furnished for
the light plant of the former city of East
Portland, in full payment of its claim; but
the city attorney had reported in effect
that the claim must be paid, so the com
mittee felt that it was obliged to recom
mend the payment of the bill of $2970, with
.interest to date, the total being $3742.
under the proper head, an ordinance was
passed, appropriating this amount out
of the general fund, to pay the bill. This
is one of the least of the expenses in
curred by indulging In the luxury of con
solidation. Mr. Monks, by request, introduced an
ordinance providing for the licensing of
chimney-sweeps, and placing their license
at $23 per quarter. For violation of the
ordinance, a penalty of from $10 to $50
fine, or imprisonment for from 5 to 50
days, Is provided. The license was thought
rather heavy for such a humble and use
ful calling, but the chimney-sweeps de
sired it. Referred to the license commit
tee. GRADES ESTABLISHED.
The greater part of the time of the ses
sion was occupied in reading and passing,
under suspension of the rules, ordinances
establishing the grade of the following
streets in University Park: Hurst street,
Edwards, Hunt, Vincent, Fowler, Foss,
Wayland, Danna, Adriatic, Fiske, Strat
ton, Newman, Dwight and Woclsey
streets, and Chautauqua boulevard.
MUST MAKE ITS OWN REPAIRS.
The committee on health and police re
ported back a communication from the
Oregon Fertilizer Company, in regard to
repairs needed by the garbage crematory,
recommending that it be placed on file, as
it had already notified Messrs. Hobkirk
& Mackenzie to make tho repairs at once.
Adopted.
The committee on parks reported that
one of the elk in the City Park had be
come vicious, and it was necessary to get
rid of him or build a separate inclosure
for him. It had received an offer of $T0
for the animal and had sold it. The ac
tion of the committee in the matter was
approved.
The same committee reported that it
had contracted with Robert Collier & Co.
to furnish 160 iron posts to put around the
plaza blocks, for the sum of $600.
A resolution was introduced by Mr. Ter
williger, giving notice to the Cable Rail
way Company that, unless It operated its
line on Alder street, the franchise would
be forfeited. Mr. Mcffett thought this
was rather harsh. He said the company
was giving most excellent service, and
had been at great expense, and was going
to extend its lines, etc. .He did not think
it was very essential that the Alder-street
line should be operated at present. He
moved that the resolution be referred to
the committee on streets. Carried.
TRAINING THE CHILDREN
Last Day's Session of the Sundny
School Convention.
The second and last day's session of
the Multnomah county Sunday school
convention opened yesterday morning at
9 o'clock, with devotional services con
ducted by Mr. C. A Nutley, in the tem
porary' absence of Rev. Mr. Boyd. Fol
lowing came the reports from the exe
cutive committee, read by C. A. Nutley,
chairman.
The regular discussions for the fore
noon were now taken up, being opened
by Rev. G. E. Hawes, who presented the
topic, "The Young People's Societies and
the Sabbath School." The speaker enum
erated the various auxiliary societies now
employed in connection with the work
of the Sunday school, and brought out
the necessity for united action on the part
of these auxiliary efforts. The one pur
pose to be gained is the religious enlighten
ment of the Sunday-school pupil and the
Inculcation of sound religious conviction.
The address was excellent and delivered
with force. Rev. W. P. Miller, W. B.
Chase, W. Holt and others took part In an
animated supplemental discussion. The
thought was brought out that all these
auxiliary soclaties are helpful in the work
if properly directed and united.
In line with the same thought was an
interesting paper from Mrs. W. D. Pal
mer, state superintendent of junior so
cieties, on "The Junior Societies and the
Sabbath School." She pointed out the
particular place these organizations have
in the Sunday-school work and demon
strated their importance. Supplemental
discussion followed her paper.
Rev. G. A. Blair, of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, was introduced and
he discussed the subject, "The Teacher
Among the Scholars During the AVeek."
He declared that a teacher should be a
man or woman thoroughly in earnest and
soundly converted. They are to command
respect everywhere, inside and outside
the Sunday rchool. They are to be
models of tenderness, models of upright
ness, politeness, and examples in the
community. As far as possible they are
to become acquainted with the children
whose lives they are to make better.
W. B. Chase started the discussion by say
ing that a teacher ought to be a strong
man or woman, whom the pupil will re
spect and honor. At the age of 12 to
16 a boy expects to see power in a teacher
and he ought to find it. C. A Nutley fol
lowed in the same line. There were about
20 speakers on this subject, and "the in
corrigible boy" received especial attention,
and a great many remedies were suggest
ed for reaching and curing him. Rev.
E. A. Holdridge varied the discussion by
saying he had heard the discussion with
interest, but had heard nothing of the in
corrigible girl of about 14, whom he had
found as difficult to handle as the boy.
Rev. C. H. Curtis read his paper on
"The Most Important Duties of the Su
perintendent." Mr. Curtis having been in
the Sunday-school wcrk lor a number of
years, his paper commanded close atten-

tion. He sugested consecration to God,
research and careful preparation for the
work. A number of the delegates spoke
on the subject, each having; suggestion in
the matter of visitations anr reclaiming
absent children. V. B. Chase thought a
superintendent should be a strong man,
one capable of being tender and also able
to quell a riot.
After the discussion the savory smell of
hot coffee came up from the basement of
the church, when Rev. Dr. Wilmot Whit
field, pastor of the church, announced that
the ladies had prepared a spread below,
and Invited the delegates below to en
joy it.
Over an hour was spent taking the fine
lunch spread in the basement of the
church, during which the delegates got
acquainted with each other. At 1:30 the
convention was called to order, when a
prayer and conference meeting was led
by Marion M. Meyers. This was follow
ed by an exposition of "A Working
School." Rev. H. F. Wallace opened the
discussion on the best methods of conduct
ing a Sunday school. F. S. Aiken, super
intendent of Grace Sunday school, fol
lowed with suggestions along the same
line. Rev. E. A. Holdridge discussed
"The Teacher Teaching." He defined
clearly the requirements of a successful
teacher, one of which is that he or she
should be endowed with spiritual strength.
His address was full of vigor and receiv
ed close attention. Several of the dele
gates followed with supplementary sug
gestions. Mrs. Holder at this time gave an inter
esting account of her efforts in pioneer
work on East Twenty-eighth and East An
keny streets, where she a year ago start
ed a Sunday school in her own house with
eight children. It has now increased to
40, and an average attendance of 35. She
had worked without help.
Rev. Thomas Boyd delivered the final
address of the aftemcon on "Know the
Results." He urged a careful Investigation
as to the number of children coming in
to the churcnes as a result of Sunday
school work. He also made an eloquent
appeal for practical results from the labor
expended.
The report of the finance committee was
now read, which recommended sending
a circular letter to all the Sunday schools
in the county asking them for financial as
sistance in earning on the work of the
Sunday school. The report was adopted.
Rev. W. P. Millar, of the committee on
resolutions, presented resolutions thank
