Newspaper Page Text12 THE MOItKTCNG OEEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 190& AFRAID HE'D BE LYNCHED "WHY WILMAMS BID 3OT SURREN DER SOONER. Did Not Want to Leave Toirn. Witli His Crime on His 'Mind Did Sot Meet Kerrigan. It developed yesterday that James "Will iams, alias (McDonald and Lee, who shot and killed George Hicks, alias "Cockney George," May 11, and who surrendered himself at the -County Jail, Monday night, would have done so sooner had he not been afraid of being lynched. That is what he says now. He has engaged Law yer John DItchburn to look after his case, and refused yesterday to discuss any of the details of the crime. "When Williams arrived at the jail to surrender himself, a stubby, bristling beard was growing over his face, his clothes were soiled, and his hands ap peared to be covered with coal dust, as if he "had been hiding In the hold of a steamer. His friends have given out the Information that he has been hiding In the brush on the East Side, and that he usually stole out after dark to buy food at the stores. From an inside source It was learned last night that the man who advised Williams to surrender himself to the au thorities Is William C. Morgan, formerly Marshal of East Portland, deputy Sheriff, and pugilist Morgan has been interested in the lumber business lately, and he and Williams have known each other for a long time. Tuesday Williams managed to send information to Morgan that he wanted to see him, and in the conference that followed asked for advice as to what course he ought to follow. Morgan is stated to have advised immediate surren der to the authorities, and to stand trial. Williams waited until it was dark enough befo're he ventured near the County Jail. After a shave and a wash yesterday, Williams looked more presentable, and in the course of the afternoon he made this statement to a friend who called: "I be came tired of hiding and did not wish to leave Portland with the matter hang ing over me, so I gave myself up to Jailer MtichelL. I have known him for a great many years. Was I sober when I had that difficulty with Hicks? Just as sober as I am now. I wish to say that I am not an ex-convict, as somebody has said. On consideration, I find I made a mis take when I stated Tuesday night that one night last week I passed Detective Kerrigan on one of the city bridges. It must have been another man altogether." Williams was called on by an Oregonian man, after strenuous objection on the part of Jailer Mitchell, who stated he "did not wish the poor man to be both ered." Ultimately, Lawyer Ditchburn consented to take the reporter Into Will iams' presence, and when the nature of the visit was explained, Williams said: "Acting on the advice of my lawyer, Ihave nothing to say, thank you, at present" Williams is a powerfully-built pleasant faced young man. It was learned yesterday that Win lams has the sum of $593 50 at his credit In a bank In this city. The first deposit was made February 4, 1901, and the sum of $11 was withdrawn last October. Another of Williams' friends made this statement: "Williams will plead self-defense. He and Hicks fought for nearly an hour with their fists, and Hicks left the room, re turning with something In his hand Williams could not see what it was. Hicks had a great habit of saying, when he got Into a passion, Til cut you,' and he said this on the occasion of the fight To pro tect himself, Williams fired. That's the story which will probably be told the jury-" Detective Kerrigan said yesterday that the .statement that he had met William? on one of the city bridges last week was not correct "If I had seen Williams, whom I know well, I would Instantly have placed him under arrest" said the detec tive. "Williams made a mistake when he says he saw me. I have no doubt he mistook me for a Mr. Bradshaw, a sales man. Mr. Bradshaw and myself are fre quently taken for each other. I never cross any of the bridges on foot; I always use the trolley cars. Mr. Bradshaw lives in Alblna." EDWARD SHIELDS IS BACK Has His Camera "With Him and Will Use It. Edward Shields, a well-known ex Portlander and now a resident of Chi cago, arrived yesterday dirtect from his new home, accompanied by Mrs. Shields, who is a daughter of Mrs. J. C. Butler, of Sunnyslde. They expect to spend the Summer here. In speaking of his fu ture plans last night Mr. Shields said: "I am simply here at this time seeking rest and to enjoy some of Portland's glo rious Summer weather. After my short visit to tho exnosition last Fall t turned to Chicago and became interested in we management of the Columbus, a new stock theater out on Wabash ave nue. It was a hard pull to put it on a successful basis, but Charles P. Elliott a very efficient showman, was at the mast and we succeeded. In addition to the arduous work connected with the theater I lectured several nights a week in the Chicago schools for the Dally News on 'A Trip Across the Continent and 'The Life of McKinley.' "Last Summer I manaced an amuse ment park for the street car company of jjes Moines, but the heat was something terrific and I made up my mind then to rmr t Wr 1BH - 1 W&L " "ilf ffifln " brew t. ''SfllHB Edvrard Shields. spend the coming Summer In Oregon, and I was happy when I was able to pack up and start on the journey that landed us in Portland yesterday. "I do not expect to be idle all Summer by any means. I brought my photo graphic and moving picture cameras and "will illustrate several new lectures for Eastern slide dealers. I finished a trip across the Continent when I was here last Fall, and over 200 sets of the slides have been sold. One of the new sets will be 'Where Rolls the Oregon.' which will deal chiefly with the Lewis and Claijc Fair. "I have arranged to compile a set on Yellowstone Park for the Northern Pa cific and will go through the park on my way East Ben Campbell, assistant traffic director of the Harriman lines, arranged with mebefore I left Chicago to gathor illustrations for his new coloni zation plan of populating the Pacific Northwest that was mentioned in Sun day's Oregonian. I noticed in that arti cle that he gives Harriman credit for t-a scheme; this is simply modesty on Campbell's part, for I know from per sonal association in the matter that the proposition originated with Mr. Camp bell himself. "I may take a hand In Summer amusements in Portland. I brought my moving picture camera and the same polyscope that I had at the exposition, with that end in View. I understand there has been no such entertainments since I ran illustrated concerts at Cable Park three years ago." An Interesting member of the party to arrive was Mr. Shields big red Irish setter. Flirt is her ladyship's name and she had the honor of taking first prize at the big dog show in Chicago in April. Flirt has posed in a number of pictures and several Chicago papers have extend ed her space under the caption, "A Fa mous Dog Model." In addition to all this, she has acquired quite a reputation as a traveler, having been, 14 times across the continent and in every state in the Union. READY FOR OCCUPANCY. Officials Will Move Into Castora Hoase Saturday. The last finishing touches are being given to the new Custom-House building in tho form of ornamental iron work on the doqrs of the appraiser's storeroom, which occupies the Seventh-street front of the building, which is the rear. There is a covered platform there, but no en trance, and the floor is over four feet above the platform. Goods are got Into the storeroom by means of traveling cranes, which run out at the doors over the platform. If one can jump up four feet he can get Into the building on the east side, but It will be better to go around to the front on North Park street There an entrance through archways leads to a spacious courtyard, and thence Into the building. Men were busy yesterday finishing the work of cleaning windows, and others distributing the made-up carpets among the various rooms. The building has been dried out and is quite warm and comfort able. One of the elevators Is running and there was an air of bustle and prepara tion yfor receiving the- occupants visible everywhere. The signs painted on the glass doors to the various offices Inform one as to which are to be occupied by the Collector of Customs, his special deputy, the Customs Inspector, the Collector of Internal Reve nue, the Deputy Collector, and clerks. Local Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers, the United States Treasury agents. United States Surveyor-General, and forecast of fice; and away up on the fractional fourth story the Hydrographer's office and the Bureau of Animal Industry. The large rooms with lofty ceilings at the north and south ends of the third story. Intended for the United States Courts, will probably be occupied by the United States Engineers and their forces. Captain Langfitt has plans prepared for the alteration of these rooms, and if the omnibus bill now before Congress, carry ing appropriations for such purposes, is passed, the changes will be made and the engineers will remove there. No furniture has been distributed among the various offices yet, but the various officials Intend to move in on Saturday, and then furniture old and new will be scattered all around.
