WILL FILE CHARGES St. RaynerCase to Go to Bar Association. DISTRICT ATTORNEY, COMPLAINANT Chance of Transcript of McDaxiIel Evidence "Will Be Brought Be fore Grievance Committee. IXstrlct Attorney Chamberlain will file charges against Henry St. Bayner, at torney, with the grievance committee of the Bar Association, because of the change made in the transcript of testi mony in the Prank E. McDanlel case after it had left the hands of the official court reporter, changes, it is asserted, by which important evidence against Mc Xtanlel was omitted. The McDanlel case was tried for, the state by B. E. Sewall, as District At torney, assisted by B. B. Glltner. Mr. Chamberlain was not familiar with the testimony except in a general way, and upon the receipt of the bill of exceptions, which is a voluminous document, he read the matter through carefully so as to ascertain the points to be presented to the Supreme Court "by his opponent as grounds for an appeal. This occupied con siderable time, and the task was finished without anything occurring to excite sus picion that the record was anything but what it purported to be. The McDanlel trial was reported by Miss I. M. Morden, and she it was who extended the testimony and objections contained in the bill of exceptions from the stenographic notes taken at the trial. Miss Morden has an office In the Chamber of Commerce building. Several weeks ago .she received a call from another young woman stenographer who is employed by a lawyer in the same building, who re quested and obtained the loan of a black carbon sheet for a typewriter. The sheet was returned after having been used and Miss Morden upon upon, carelessly holding It "up to the light noticed the words, "evi dence of Dr. M. McXauchlan." Examin ing further she read that the evidence re lated to the statements made by Frank ' E. McDanlel to Chief of Police McLauch lan. The discovery occasioned surprise as she was certain the carbon sheet when it left her possession was perfectly new, and after thinking things over for a short time. Miss Morden concluded to notify the District Attorney of the discovery and ascertain what it meant. Mr. Chamberlain, on being shown the carbon sheet, proceeded to compare the testimony of Chief McLauchlan in the bill of exceptions with the notes in the possession of Miss Morden with the re sult that the following question and an swer were found to be missing: Part of Transcript 251islng. "Q. Please state what ie said." "A. I asked him what time he got up in the morning and he said about 6 o'clock; that when he was dressing Clay (Morse) got up at the same time and when b.e was dressing he said, 'Clay, do you know what time I got home last night?' and Clay said, 'No, and McDanlel's answer was, '"Well it don't make any differ ence. " "Upon discovering this omission, the bill of exceptions was carefully inspected and It was seen that two sheets containing part of the evidence of Chief McLauchlan had been removed, and two others sub stituted in their place, which read the same as the originals, only that this ques tion and answer were left out. The sub stituted sheets were spaced the same as the rest of the work, and made to cor respond in detail In every manner so that nothing unusual would be noticed. Sheets "Written for St. Bayner. The young woman who borrowed the black carbon sheet from Miss Morden freely admitted having written the two sheets lor Mr. St Bayner, contending, however, that she was entirely innocent in the transaction. She explained that Mr. St, Bayner called at the office where Bho is employed one afternoon late and after stating that Miss Parker, who usually did his work, was sick, requested her to perform some services for him. The further statement was made that as she always used purple paper, and Mr. St. Bayner desired black, she borrowed a black carbon paper and ribbons, and Mr. St. Bayner showed her how the spac ing should be, and where the first word should bo at the beginning of each sheet, and the last word upon each sheet. Oth erwise he read from the sheets which he held in his hand, what he wished writ ten, and came back several times, upon different days to have the work done over again. The sheets were written four times before they were satisfactory. St. Rayner Rot Here. Mr. "St Bayner is not in the city, and therefore could not be seen to obtain his statement concerning the affair. "When interogated by the District Attorney con cerning the matter, it is ald he at first asserted that the bill of exceptions when delivered by him to the District Attorney was Just as it was when he received it from the official Teporter, but afterwards acknowledged that two new sheets were put in in place of two sheets that were torn by being caught in the top of his roll-top desk, and that the omission of the qeustlon and answer was inadventent. Important Facts Omitted. The time when McDanlel reached his gom Qajthe njght of the murder of Clara Plain gray at $4.25 and $5.00 pair. Mottled gray at $4.50, $5.00 to ?S.E0 pair. Fitch is an important feature in the case. They were seen to part at 11 o'clock. He said he went straight home. There was evidence at the first trial by Chief McLauchlan that Clay Morse admitted at the police station that the conversation here referred to between him and McDanlel occurred, but Morse's ver sion of it was that McDanlel asked him if he noticed what time he came home and on his saying, "No," McDanlel said, "Well, never mind, don't say anything about It" At the trial, McDanlel and Morse de nied having made such statements at the police station. "Why McDanlel's attorney should desire this question and answer omitted from the record can only be conjectured. DROWNED IN BULL RUN. Fate of & Horseman "Who Tried to Ford the Bivcr. Shepard Gould, 18 years of age, who lived with his parents near Gresham, was drowned in Bull Bun Hirer near its junction with Sandy Blver, seven miles below the headworks, last Saturday after noon about 6 o'clock. Ho was going on horseback from his .home to spend Sunday with his sister. who lives at Bramhall's mill, two miles east of Bull Bun Blver. At the Sandy Biver bridge, on the pipe line road, ho met Mr. Pullen, his brother-in-law, who was going to Gresham, and learned that the latter had just crossed Bull Bun Blver by wading and jumping from rock to rock on a rapid, as is occasionally done when the river is as low as it is at present. Young Gould decided to fora the river on his horse in order to avoid traveling the longer route by way of the county bridge. As he was an excellent horseman, those who saw him ride toward the river, a quarter of a mil away, had no fears for his safety. "When he failed to arrive at the mill, his relatives became alarmed, and at once began searching for him. .His father found his horse grazing near the river on Monday morning, and then the worst was feared. Messrs. Phelps and Moulton hegan a search in the stream, and soon found the lifeless body of the young man In the water, lodged among the rocks of a rapid a short distance below the place where it is supposed he tried to f ford the river. It was evident that Gould had ridden his horse Into deep water and that he had been thrown from the saddle and drowned. Mr. Maupln, the pipe line inspector, had the body brought to his house at the bridge, and he and his family did all they could to assist the relatives in taking the body to Gresham. The young man was a great favorite, and his sad death will bring grief to many. CASE OF CAPTAIN HEARN. Grand Jury Investigated Yesterday State of Sailor Controversy. The grand jury yesterday investigated the charge of criminal libel against Cap tain S. B. Hearn, of the British ship Gen ista, preferred by John Grant, the sailor boarding-house man, the case having been sent from Justice Vreeland's court. "No return was made yesterday, but It Is expected that one will be made today. The Genista is lying at Astoria with a full crew and ready to go to sea as soon as disposition shall be made of Captain Hearn's case. The Or ealla is also lying at Astoria, but she lacks a full crew. She is in no hurry to get away, for her cap tain and some of her crew are needed as witnesses in cases before the courts over seamen here. "Yes, the ships are still at Astoria," said "W. J. Burns, of Balfour, Guthrie & Co., last night, "and they Eeem likely to stay there some time, as long as present conditions as to obtaining seamen here continue. News of this cannot fall to reach shipping Interests generally, and will certainly cause a bad impression of the port. The present condition of the local wheat market Is very much aggra vated by lack of tonnage, and there Is every prospect that warehouses here will be blockaded before relief can be had. It will therefore come home to everyone interested in the wheat industry that everything that is done to hamper the coming and going of ships will soon make itself felt. Every device Is worked to harass and delay ships that do not take sailors through a certain channel, and it has effect on the business of the port." COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Quo Vadis? The F.

Fred. Phillips, who fitted out the schooner General McPherson for Kotze bue Sound in Portland, three years ago, was in the city yesterday, having re turned from Wardner, Idaho, where he has been engaged In mining. He has probably the honor of prospecting nearer the North Pole than any other adven turer, as he spent one Summer and a Winter among the Jade Mountains, on the Koo Wak River, 250 miles inland from Kotzebue Sound. He and-hls part ty left the General MoPherson in charge of Captain Neilsen and made their way up the river with much labor, as the stream Is rapid and the boat had to be hauled over many rapids by the men, who waded to their hips at times, In the ice-cold water. They found colors every where, but not in paying quantities, and he feels sure that gold abounds in the region and will be discovered dome day. "The only way to prospect that re gion," he said, "Is to -go prepared for a three years' siege. Several small boats should be towed by a steam launch, and food should be taken in on the first trip. The provisions should not consist largely of bacon, and very little salt should ac company the outfit, as scurvy should be guarded against. Fruit and grain foods should form the bulk of the supply. "The region along the Koo .Wak is In habited only by a few Eskimos, who are now rapidly dying off from scurvy. They had plenty of fresh meat so long as they were only armed with bows and arrows, but when they procured long-range rifles from the white traders on the coast they quickly exterminated the moose and the cariboo, not having sense enough to spare the does or the young. "The General McPherson venture Acost me $8500 in cash. I purchased the craft In San Diego, Cal., for 54500, and brought her here 'to. load. The people with whom I-left the vessel at TCotzebue Sound sold off the cargo on the Alaskan coast, and never 'gave me a cent of 'the proceeds, while wages of the crew and other bills accumulated" uptll the vessel was libelled at Seattle. In my absence the schooner wap taken to St Michael, where the goods were exchanged for a cargo of whisky, which was brought across Behring Sea and sold to the Russian Eskimos."
