E FULL CONFESSION
BEXJASriX J. GOB THE 3IAN WHO
ll', KlfiLED JPEVTTRE.
Victim Had "Worried Goe's Dogr and
Ihe.-Owrier of the Animal Shot in
Anger Clever Detective Worlc
CHEHALIS, Wash., Sept, 30. By clever
detective work the murderer of Edward
Mclntire has been run to earth, and he
now Tests In the Kalama County Jail,
having made a full confession of the
shooting. Benjamin X- Go Is the man
who was arrested Sunday evening for the
crime, and who has admitted that he is
the guilt' man. He was taken In custody
by -Sheriff Huntington at Winlock, a few
miles from the Patterson hopyard, at
Olequa, where the murder took place.
Detective Sam Simmons, of Portland, was
the leading spirit iri the forces that have
been working on the case. He arrived last
week and went quietly to "work. The one
fact rooie than any other that led to
Goe's arrest was the discovery of the
"bullet and the hole made by- one of the
shots fired by him the evening of the
murder. The detective and his assistants
surveyed the line of this shot, and found
that It could have come from nowhere
olse than Goe's doorway. With this evi
dence to support their suspicions, the au
thorities determined to arrest all the
members of the Goe family. This was
done. "Warrants were sworn out in Kelso,
and the whole family was corraled on
Sunday evening
Hovr the Detectives "Worked.
The.' were all subjected to a long cross
examination. Every member maintained
that Goe had not done the shooting; that
he had not left the house, and that he
had no pistol. The fact that Arthur .Gee,
his brother, was arrested, charged with
the same crime, and all of the others "were
in danger of being held for accomplices,
made the family exceedingly anxious to
clear up the matter. In the house from
which Goe fired was his brother's wife
and her daughter, Clara. Finally Detec
tive Simmons was introduced to Goe as a
disinterested friend. A long conversation
followed, in which Detective Simmons
Impressed upon Goe that the officers had
already evidence enough to convict him,
and. that the best thing he could do was to
confess. He asked to see his brother and
sister, which was granted. They held a
long conference, and finally Goe an
nounced that he was ready to see Prose
cuting Attorney McKenny. He then
made a complete confession, saying:
"I did the shooting. I am sorry for it.
I will plead guilty before the Judge, and
get over It sis soon as possible."
Goe's confession was complete, and
brought out the fact that his motive was
nothing more serious than the fact that
Mclntire and his companion, Toy, on their
"way home had molested Goe's dog. Mad
dened by this, he jumped out of bed,
grabbed his 38-caliber army revolver, and,
stepping to the door of his shanty, firea
two shots. One of these took instant er
feot on SIcIntire, and his companion,
Toy, narrowly escaped.
The circumstances leading up to the
shooting, according to Goe's confession
and Toy's story, are as follows:
Toy' Story.
Mclntire and Toy. who were employed
in John U. Hartley's logging camp, on
the Cowlitz River near Olequa, had spent
Sunday at Olequa and vicinity. On Sun
day evening Ihey visited the Patterson
hopyard,' "Where several hundred pickers
arc employed. One of the shanties had
been vacated by some pickers, and Leon
Dubeau. -a "well-known character in this
section and at Astoria. Or., b.ad, in com
pany with some companies, started a
blackjack game in the shanty, unknown to
the managers of the yard. The men spent
the evening playing blackjack and drink
ing. About midnight Toy and Mclntire
loft for home. As they passed through
the hoppickers village where the shanties
are a dog barked at them. Toy kicked the
dog, and Mclntire called to iiim to kill
it. Toy fired a shot, and Goe says that
"when he heard the noise he thought they
"wore shooting at his cabin or had shot
his dog, and "that something, possibly
gravel flying from where the bullet struck,
flew up against his shanty; that this
angered him. and that he hurried to the
door and fired two shots in the direction
of the men. One of these shots struck
Mclntire and passed entirely through his
body. He died from the effects of the
wound about 4 A. M. last Monday. Mc
Intire's father, who Is a well-known Co
lumbia River logger, took an immediate
interest in the matter, and secured the
services of Detective Sam Simmons, of
Portland. in unraveling the mystery.
Sheriff Huntington, of Cowlitz Counts',
and Prosecuting Attorney McKenny also
took an active interest in the work, and
together -with local assistance at Olequa
it was soon determined that Goe knew
something about the shooting. A bullet,
which must have been fired by Mcln
tire's murderer, was found imbedded in
a blinding at a point in .range and oppo
site the scene of the murder. By draw
ing a line It became possible to determine
from the angle at which the buyet en
tered the shanty the point from which
it had been fired.
Suspicion was at once fastened on Goe,
and his every move since that time has
been watched. He seemed quite anxious
to converse with different people regard
ing the murder ever since It happened,
and is said to have told conflicting stories.
He quit picking hops a day or two earlier
than It was expected that the pickers
would, and returned to "Winlock. Various
circumstances seemed to satisfy the of
ficers that no doubt could exist as to his
guilt, and yesterday Mclntlre's father and
Detective Simmons came up to "Winlock.
Sheriff Huntington came up here. and.
securing the assistance of Deputy Sheriff
James Matson, returned to Winlock,
whore the arrest followed last night.
Goe is about 23 years of age. He Is a
Kentuckian and was in the volunteer serv
ice in the Philippines. He came to this
section about six months ago. Goe has
two brothers living in Winlock, both of
whom bear good reputations, and, -until
this unfortunate affair, Goe has thus far
borne a good reputation In this county.
He was taken to Kalama, where he was
lodged In jail.
Detective Simmons, -who helped ferret
out the mystery, is the man who effected
the arrest and conviction of Martin Stick
el. who was hanged at Kalama last Win
ter for the murder of an aged couple near
Castfe Rock, and also has to his credit
the arrest and conviction of Manuel Gates,
of Pacific County, who was recently sent
to the penitentiary for the murder of
CaDtain Beeson.
Defective Sam Simmons and the father
of the murdered man returned to Portland
yesterday morning ond confirmed the
news of the arrest of the murderer of
Edward Mclntyre. "We had worked up
as complete a case against Benjamin
Goe as could have been done under the
circumstances," said Mr Simmons. "We
had found the two cartridges of his pis
tol that he had thrown away after firing
the shots. We hdd the testimony of peo
ple who said that two minutes before
there were no people in that neighbor
hood and that all -was quiet. We had
surveyed the direction of the bullet that
was Imbedded in a board across the street.
The great value of this was the fact that
the street -vras curved, and the house of
Goe was the only one from which such
a shot could have been fired. With this
evidence, although conclusive, we could
never have convicted him. So -we resorted
to. stategy, arrested all his relatives and
separated them until we gave them a
rigorous examination. The fact that they
"were all charged with being accomplices
in the crime preyed upon them and the
guHiy man so that he was Induced to
confess. The story that Edward Mcln
tyre was intoxicated the night he was
killed was cot true. The facts as I found
them were that his companion was under
the influence of liquor and that Mc
lntyre was assisting him home.)

has there been such a yield of prunes in
the orchards of the Cow Creek country

prunes. Trouble is met with in securing
workmen enough to aid in gathering
and caring for the crop. This is true over
all parts of Josephine County and South
ern Oregon.

this drier started up, as It was previously
Intended not to operate the plant this
season. The other drier here is crowded
to its utmost capacity day and night

Holding- for Higher Prices.
INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Sept. 30. The

has stored 3000 bales of this year's hops.

the amount stored at this place last year.

price, which they expect to come about
as soon as samples taken East show that
the crop Is of a good quality and with
out mold. As far as can be learned hard
ly a box of hops was lost from bad
weather or the mold. Old residents report
that the past season has been the best for
hopplcklng for 30 years.
