Schleve Murdered a Friend From Aroltudh for His Uloney. ST. HELENS, July 2. August Schleve killed Joseph Shulkowski on December 2C, 1901. The murder was a cold-blooded one. Shulkowski had been but recently dis charged as a member of a regiment which served In the Philippines. In August, Shulkowski, with his savings, amounting to about 5390 or more, represented by a certificate of deposit In the First Nation al Bank of Portland, came North and set alcd upon a claim near St. Helens. He spent "Christmas in St Helens, and the next day started home on the Bunker Hill road. He bad visited the Schleve family and bade them good-bye at 10 o'clock. The road he took to his claim was a lonely one and not often traveled. He had traveled about seven miles along the highway through the hills, when he was shot from ambush by August Schleve. The murderer left the house after the departure of his friend, and going by a circuitous route on horseback, ho secret ed himself In the -underbrush, and when Shulkowski came along, he shot tho lat ter. He rifled the dead roanls pockets of his cash-and took his Watch, which he bid in some moss in a stump on the road some distance away. The watch was afterward found and assisted In building up a chain of circumstantial evidence which established Schlfeve's guilt and re sulted In conviction. Shulkowskl's body was found by some miners .on their way to work on December 27. The body had been dragged from the road) into the1 brush, about 80'fcet distant. The -deceased man's coat had been re moved and placed over his face. A few days later a 32-20 Winchester rifle cart ridge shell was picked up near the scehe. Afterward It was proved that the shell was fired from a gun owned by Schleve. December 2S, 1901, Sch'leve was arrested, charged with tho murder of his country man. January 4 he was taken to Port land .for safekeeping and to ward off any possible attempt that might be contem- Jlated to deliver him from the County all at St, Helens. He was confined there until May 14, when he was brought to St Helens for trlak The trial occupied about 15 aays. The murderer was convicted May 25. and sentenced May 31. The Jury deliberated but a few hours. Court was convened on Sunday mornlnjr to receive the verdict of guilty of first-degree mur der. , The. verdict had but little effect upon the defendant His father and sister were wrth Run. His sister cried a little. Upon taking their leave, the father and sister kissed the doqmed man. Schleve laughed carelessly, and said the he would get a new trial. He was defended by W. T. Vaughn, of Portland. While confined in the Multnomah Coun ty Jail the murderer was quiet and stoi cal. He never had anything to say. and when placed in tho sweatbox he gave lit tle or" no Information as to the murder. At his trial he tried to establish an alibi by showing that he returned to the house and ate dinner at 12 o'clock with the re mainder of the family. The prosecution showed that members of the family va ried In their statements as to the time Aujust Schleve came homo that day. .During-his Incarceration the murderer showed not the least remorse for his das tardly crime. Since ho was a little boy his mother has been an Inmate of the Oregon Insane Asylum, and it is general ly supposed that Schleve inherited vicious, insane tendencies.
