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.

Painless Dentistry
Has been a much-abuse phrase. For a number of years unreliable and Incom
petent dentists have advertised painless extraction, etc., -when as "a matter of fact,
through gross Ignorance, they Inflicted 'needless torture. So many of these char
latans plied their vocation that tho public lost faith, and justly so, in the so
called painless dentistry.
Painless Dentistry Is Not a Myth
As -we can prove to your entire satisfaction. Repent discoveries made by us render
all dental operations ABSOLUTHLiT PAINL.ESS. "We have hundreds of testimon
