AWAY t Affidavit Filed Telling Strange Story of Confession by an Unknown Pronounced Only a Ruse to Gain Time. WHAT THE AFFIDAVIT SAYS. That Walton 4" prove Officer Neloa was shot by a man other than himself. That this man visited Walton's moth er and told her the whole toty, threat enlnc to kill her U oae revealed it. That the man shot Officer Nelson be cause of an old grudge. That the man ix&a a criminal, thrlo convicted of crimes, 'who escaped, sen tence, by being proven Insane. That he pro in lied to eurrendr himself to save Walton If Kelson died, and re fused to do so It the officer lived. That all this -was told to Mrs. Walton In an Interview with the man who did the shooting. That Mrs. Walton Is 111 in Dubuque, la., cannot get hero to testify, wherefore Walton prays for a continu ance of the case until the next term of court. Attorneys In the office of. District At torney Manning -were dumbfounded at noon yesterday -when served with an af fidavit by Henry St. Bayner, attorney for Charles W. Walton, charged with high way robbery and assault with Intent to lcill. The affidavit prayed for a contln; uance of the case until the next term of court, to enable the defendant to have Important witnesses present at the hear ing, and sets forth a startling1 story, which the defendant says can be substantiated at the trial if the continuance Is granted, The trial was set for this morning, the hearing of the assault charge to follow on Monday. In the affidavit Charles W. Walton seta forth an Interesting state of affairs. At torney St. Bayner smiled knowingly when it was served. The District Attorney and his deputies are between two fires and do not know which way to turn It is a Question with them whether the affidavit is a barefaced attempt to gain time or whether there is really something of fact in the story told. If It Is fact, the case against Walton has received a death blow. Walton first sets forth that he is but 17 years of age and reviews the crimes with which he is charged in the indict ment. After the preliminaries, he says Story About Mysterious Two. On or about September 16, two certain men who refused to communicate their names to her, sought and obtained an Interview with Carrie B. Walton, In the City q Portland, and there and then Informed, declared and con fessed to her that one of them was the man who, on the evening of September 1, assaulted and shot Policeman Ole kelson on a street car returning: from Willamette Heights, on T street, vihlUt In the vicinity of a certain gulch in the City of Portland; that he shot two times with a certain Smith & Wesson revolver, which he then and there showed to the said -Carrie B. Walton; that at the time of the shooting he was disguised with a certain acarf, which was pinned about his face, which be then and there showed my mother also; that as he jumped off the car he brushed against & young man who was in the act of getting on the car, and in so doing struck his own face against the side of the car, causing a slight wound on h!n forehead. These men also stated that the one of them who shot Policeman Ole Kelson did so partly because some time previous thereto he had had an altercation with the said Officer Ole Kelson, and that the said officer had then and there struck him In the face. This man declared he was a criminal, and had been three times con victed of crimes, and had been found Insane on trial and committed to the Insane asylum, from which he was paroled about eight months previous to the shooting of Officer Kelson. He further stated that he did not want me to suffer for what he had done; that If Officer Kelson died from his wounds, he would surren der himself to the authorities to save me from the consequences of his act: that he telephoned to the Good Samaritan Hospital when Officer Kelson was there, asking permission to see and talk to the wounded officer, and that this per mUslon was denied him, he being told that Officer Kelson was in such a condition that no person was allowed to see and talk with him, and that this man was then and there unable to ascertain the officer's condition. This man and his companion exhibited two revolvers to my mother at this time, eta ting that. It she or any one else through her agency should tell of their visit or communicate In any way with other person or persons In such a manner that detectives, policemen or other officers should be furnished with a clew to their Identity, she would have to take the con sequences, intimating that she would be mur dered by them. Important Witness Is III. The affidavit then sets forth that Mrs. Walton returned to her home in San Francisco on September 23; that on Oc tober 3 she received a letter from her mother, residing In Dubuqe, la., stating that her father was dying and not ex pected to live more than a week, and that. Mrs. Walton immediately left her home in San Francisco to journey to her father's bedside. It states that after ar riving inDubuque. Mrs. Walton was her self taken ill, and that at the present time she Is unable to leave her bed and Jour nay to Portland to appear as a witness in the trial of her son, her testimony In rerard to the facts stated la the affida vit being deemed by the defendant of the utmost importance. Condemned as a Ruse. "The affidavit is one of the most foolish things I ever saw," said Chief Deputy Moser yesterday afternoon. "I do not think it will be considered by the court." "It Is extremely foolish and nothing but a ruse to gain time," said Deputy Haney. "I would not be surprised if the court reprimanded the attorney for the defense for filing such a document." The affidavit will be tiled this morning at an early hour, and Mr. St. Rayner will go Into court and, on the strength of It, attempt to get the case continued until the next term of court. The District At torney was made aware of the affidavit at noon yesterday. Later an addition to it was filed to cover important legal points. Miss Roosevelt In Yellow. New York Evening Press.
