14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1903. s LEWIS IS" FREE Murder Charge Against Him Dismissed DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACTS Police Detectives Accused of Concealing Evidence. DAMAGE SUIT TO BE BROUGHT On Charge of Illegal Imprisonment, Chief of Police Hunt and Detec tives Snow and Kerrigan Will Be Sued Shortly. Since Ed C LkjwIs, alias Jerry Leslie, charged with having shot and killed Max Calof June 22, has proved beyond all rea sonable doubt that he Is innocent of the charge, the police are severely censured for their treatment of the prisoner. District Attorney Manning: said in open court yesterday that the detectives had not 1-ad sufficient reason for bringing the defendant to trial. Instead of investi gating the story of defense offered by the prisoner, they attempted to conceal it and to convict him upon the Identification of the -witnesses -who had only seen the murderer in the dark. John F. Watts, attorney for the defense, announces that he -will bring a damage suit for $25,000 against Detectives Snow and Kerrigan and Chief of Police Hunt, together with their bondsmen. As a found ation for tho claim, of damages for il legal imprisonment. Attorney Watts charges that his client, Iewls, was un lawfully imprisoned for 17 days, during which time he was kept in shackles. This phase of the case was first brought to light by Attorney Watts, as he pre sented his opening argument He de scribed the police treatment of his client in terms which called forth from Judge Frazer, in astonished tones: "You don't really mean to say that this is truel" Case Against Lewis Dismissed. During the first day of his trial Lewis so completely proved his innocence that when the court was called to order yes terday morning. District Attorney Man ning arose and spoke as follows: "If the court please, when the evidence in this case was submitted to me sitting as a grand Jury, of course none of the evldonce that appeared on the part of the defendant was heard, and I was Informed last evening that the detectives that had charge of the case had knowledge from the defendant of the facts which he after words was put upon, trial to prove, and It seems they made no effort to find the facts In this case other than to secure the witnesses that appeared here in court, being the same witnesses that appeared before me, and, based upon that fact, I think I was justified in filing a true In formation; but it seems as though this flofendant has gone further than was nec essary In a case of this character and has proved himself innocent, and I desire at this time to ask your honor to dismiss this case." "Innocent," Says Judge. Judge Frazer in response said: "I think, myself, that there has been such a show ing here of an alibi on the part of this befe:uant that no jury would convict him, and while the evidence for the state was sufficient to Justify the District Attorney in filing the information, and ho was act ing, no doubt, upon a sufficient founda tion to bring this action and bring it to trial, still, the evidence for the state It self lacks a great deal of being conclusive; and In view of the fact that the alibi has een most conclusively proved, and there is no conclusive proof of the guilt of de fendant on the part of the state, I think the District Attorney has very properly fisked that this action be dismissed at this time. I am satisfied myself of the in nocence of this defendant. The motion will be allowed." In an interview with an Oregonlan re porter shortly after tho trial. Attorney Watts said: "I Bhall prepare the papers for a dam age suit at once. The manner in which my client was imprisoned, and abused is an outrage, and I believe I have Just grounds for tho suit. He was arrested about August 24. He told the detectives at -e time that he could prove that he was not in the city at the time of the murder. He told them of his visits in quest of work. He did not remember the names of the people that he had asked for work, but told them that if they would go with him to see the different farmers that he was sure they would bo able to recognize him. The detectives refused to go with him, or to make any effort to in vestigate his story. "The law provides that a prisoner must be brought immediately before the nearest committing magistrate and given a hear ing. Lewis was kept in the City Jail from August ?4, until October 10, and was not allowed a hearing or even allowed to see an attorney. I can prove by people who were confined In the Jail that several times ho asked for an attorney but was refused. Levis Kept In Shackles. "And he was kept in shackles," con tinued Mr. Watts. "The marks are still on his legs. For 17 days he was held In prison contrary to law, witi his feet chained to the floor. I was not called as his attorney until the day before he was taken to the County Jail, and at that lime I was told by an officer at the sta tion, whose store of human sympathy was somewhat larger than that of his brothers, that it was time the man was given a chance to defend himself. "Even after ie was taken to the County Jail he was not given a chance to prove his story of innocence. I told Sheriff Storey that Lewis wanted to go and see these people, but Mr. Storey answered that he would not run over the country with a murderer to find evidence to clear him. Storey said that it was better to hang three innocent men than to let one guilty one go free." "Before what magistrates should he have been taken?" tho attorney was usked. Municipal Judge Hogue, Justice Held or the District Attorney could have been called upon." said he; "but the police did not allow him any sort of a hearing. "When he was first arrested he was placed in the cold storage and kept there for three days. Griggs was then arrested, and Lewis was taken out of the cold storage, so that he would not be with Griggs. All of the time he was In Jail he was given only two meals a day, and very poor ones at that. -He was fed on a stew made of liver and onions, and he says he was frequently able to "pick a handful of cockroaches out of his plate whon it was brought to him." Chief Hunt was asked concerning the treatment of the prisoner, and seemed to j regard tho threatened .suit as one of the needless attacks made against his office. "Yes," he replied, "we did have chains on his feet. At first we had him in a cell. It is vers' unpleasant there, and ho asked to be removed to better quarters. I told him that the Jail was not safe, and that he must be chained if ho was removed. Ho consented to that, and said ho pre ferred the chains to the cell, and I would prefer it myself. Tho chains were loose, and allowed him to walk about." "Was he ever refused tho privilege of seeing an attorney?" tho Chief was asked. "Ho was not," the Chief replied prompt ly. "No prisoner in this jail was ever refused tho privilege of seeing an attorney. We are always glad to have a prisoner get an attorney, and glad to allow a friend to see him. When we know that some one who may be able to help a prisoner wants to seo him, we are glad to admit him. Frequently some one who has no Interest other than curiosity wants to ba admitted to the jail. Then wo gen erally refuse." GAME WARDEN ABEOAD. Travels Through State Searching for Violators of tho Law. State Game and Forestry Warden J. W. Baker was in the city yesterday, on his return from a visit to The Dalles, -Pendleton and other points in Eastern Oregon, the first time he has been there in his official capacity. He says that in all the localities ho visited tho people take an interest in the game laws and generally evince a desire to render all possible assistance in enforcing them. The principal violations of the law in that section of late have been the shoot ing of wild geese, which havo been swarming there in thousands, on thef Islands and sandbars along the rivers,' which are their places of "resting, or roosts," as defined by the law. There has been some of this unlawful shooting going on during tho past week or two, and Mr. Baker was requested to look into the matter and put a stop to it. He has given the offenders warning, and has ap pointed a deputy at The Dalles and an other at Arlington to attend to violators of tho law. There havo been some violations of the law at Pendleton In the way of ille gal catching of salmon in the river there by gaffing them, and Deputy Warden A. W. Nye has, by the assistance of a Jus tice of the Peace, put an effectual stop to this. One old offender, who, after being duly warned by Deputy Nye, per sisted In gaffing salmon, was arrested and fined $50 and, after lying in jail a few days, paid his fine and was released. Another old offender, though a young man, was arrested and fine $50, but sen tence was suspended and he was allowed to go at large on promise of good be havlor These cases, the people of Pen dleton informed Warden Baker, have produced a good effect In checking further violation of the law. He has now under investigation several cases of alleged vio lation of the game law in connection with deer-shooting, but finds it very difficult to secure information, as neighbors al most invariably refuse to testify against one another, and the small allowance for deputies, $2500 a year for six deputies, does not go far. It was not till July last that Warden Baker assumed the duties of his office, and it took some time to get deputies selected and everything in order for do ing business. He did not desire to be too harsh at the start, as there Is much Ignorance in regard to the game laws, owing to no appropriation having been made for printing copies for distribution. He Is now having copies of a synopsis of these laws printed) and will distribute them broadcast. Since Warden Baker has assumed of fice there have been 11 arrests and ten convictions for violation of the game laws, six persons having been convicted for unlawfully killing upland birds, of whom five were arrested by himself. DANGEROUS TO HEALTH AEMED MEN TO THE BESCTJE. Sheriff Storey and His Deputies Re store Order in County Jail. Sheriff Storey, hatless and breathless, runnlrfg from tho sheriff's office and to the entrance leading to the County Jail, followed by Deputy Herman Schnei der at lightning speed, revolver in hand, and Deputies Daniels and Kelly also on the run, was tho scene witnessed by people In the vicinity of the Courthouse yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. George McClain rushed to aid the officers should occasion require and Chief Deputy James Stott remained in the office to guard the safe. The spectators, wondering what it was all about, grew excited and the Court house clerk3 grew nervous. Fears of an explosion of dynamite filled the minds of some and a fusllade of shots was mo mentarily expected to be heard. The pre vailing opinion of course was that a wholesale Jail delivery was being at tempted and that a desperate battle might be one of the consequences was antici pated. Several minutes passed and then the Sheriff and his deputies marched quietly up the stairs leading from the Jail and up the Courthouse steps and back to their desks in tho office without saying a word. Sheriff Storey pufTed a cigar leisurely and nodded to friends as he passed; Dep uty Schneider smiled as is his usual wont and looked happy: Penumbra Kelly stopped for a second on his way through the hallway to pass a remark to an old country friend about the Oregon weather, and Mr. Daniels walked by without seem ing to notice that everybody was anx iously waitlngio know what it was all about. The spectators were silent, because they all seemed to think a startling announce ment was due from the other side, but nono came. After the officers had all quietly resumed their several desks and chairs without having vouchsafed to state what had caused tho sudden descent to the Jail, a man In the crowd remarked that he guessed it was a sort of a prac tice monthly drill such as they have In the public schools. Another fellow said he guessed it was a false elarm and the crowd readily as sented that it was either one or tho other of these two things. A reporter happened along and was be sieged for an explanation as a person who certainly had heard. A tru6ty in the County Jail was en gaged In dusting the walls, etc, when he accidentally touched an electric button, which sounds an alarm in the Sheriffs office for a jail break or serious disturb, ance among the prisoners. The rest has been told. WHO'S TOUR TAILOR?

Free A rlf 'orr I "- If the business men, those whose whole sale houses are In the neighborhood of Ash and Front streets, were to be asked, "where is the unhealthlest and most odor iferous spot in the city of Portland," they would without a moment's hesita tion say, "at the foot of Ash street." This is not a distinction that these busi ness men are proud of, for they have grown tired of wearing clothespins on their noses and paying doctor bills for illnesses which they say come from breathing the unhealthy odors which fill the air, and which they eay como from the Portland Fish Company. They have stood for thestomach-dlsturblng and nau seating smells until they are tired, and they have appealed to Dr. H. B. Blers dorf, the City Health Officer. According to several of the business men; tho fish packing concern is a menace to public health, and they have been trying almost two years to stir tho Health Department into activity. Dr. Blersdorf, so he stated yesterday, has called upon tho fish-packers and they have repeatedly promised to clean the place up and get rid of tho stench that haunts the neighborhood. The campaign against tho fish concern has reached an acute stage, and Dr. Blers dorf, when he starts legal action against the Portland Packing Company, will summon the business men whose places of business stand close to tho fish houso as witnesses. J. F. Mcehan,. one of the proprietors of the packing company, stoutly maintains that tho odors which have sickened everybody that; passed Ash and Front streets do not como from his store, but that the stench rises from the broken sewer which enters the river under tho O. R. & N. docks, in the rear of his packing house. He admits that where fish is packed, smoked and salted Is not a perfume factory, yet at the same time he places the blame for the reeking odors that taint the atmosphere upon the city and Its neglect of the city sewer. In a measure his protest Is right, for the backwater underneath the rotten docks which extend from Ash street to An keny contain a most wonderful collection of dead cats, rats, dogs, broken boxes, garbage, discarded clothing and other flotsam and jetsam. A part of this un wholesome and vile collection was washed into this place when the river was high and the rest has been deposited by tho variaus business houses on. the water front. Broken pieces of timber and boxes cover the surface of the stagnant water, which, when it is disturbed, sends up odors that no human nostril can stand. This happens as often as a vessel ap proaches the O. R. & N. dock, and then there is a rush to close all windows In the wholesale houses along that strip of the water front Sickness among tho em ployes Is also frequent, and the blame Is divided between the neglected river and the fish-house. Dr. BIer3dorf was not prepared to say yesterday just what action would be taken against the Portland Packing Company, but he Intimated that when he had completed his list of witnesses ho would swear out a warrant against tho concern, charging It with maintaining a public nuisance within the city limits. Several managers of the big concerns aro very wroth over what they term the at titude of the Health Department When they were told that Dr. Blersdorf was willing to prosecute the fish com pany, they expressed their willingness to enter court and testify to the discom fort to which they havo been subjected for tho past two years. "I know," said Mr. Mechan, "that odors from a fish-packing house aro not pleas ant but what are we to do? I keep my place as clean as a packing-house of this sort can be kept Where fish are handled there are always bound to be disagree able odors. We keep them down as much as possible by the use of chloride of lime, which In itself Is not a most pleasing odor for sensitive olfactory nerves. My place of business Is being blamed for something that comes from the big sewer which is broken. In tho morning the stench which rises is worse than at any other time of the day, and when the wind is blowing In shore, even we have to close the wlndovs In the rear of our store. I would be glad to take tho offi cers through my place. It's open for in spection at any time." ' DEFEATED BUT UNDISMAYED. Multnomah Club Football Eleven Re turns From California Trip. George McMillan and his football crew returned home yesterday morning, and, although they failed to score in either of tho two games played In California, the pigskin-chasers were far from being a discouraged lot Captain McMillan feels that considering the heavy handicap un der which his eleven was placed, he was lucky In that both Berkeley and Stanford did not make higher scores against the Multnomah boys. Although decisively beaten, McMillan and' the rest of the players have nothing but praise for the splendid way In which they were cared for by the fraternities In both universities. The California students gave the visiting eleven a right royal time, and nothing was too good for them. Captain McMillan has also a word of praise for the members of his team, and he thinks, considering everything, that they acquitted themselves remarkably well. There will be no let-up In the work of the eleven, for the next game on the schedule is with the Albany College team on Saturday on the Multnomah grounds. He Is also endeavoring to arrange for a meeting with the University of Nevada. The Nevada eleven played Stanford to a standstill and defeated Berkeley. If the date Is made, the game will be played November 21, and It will be the last be fore the annual game between Multnomah and the University of Oregqn. GUADALAJARA POTTERY.
