THE MORNING OREGONIA27 SAOTRD.AT, MAY 20; 1905. - - . WRANGLE IN TIE iUMELIN TRIAL Manning and Howell Exchange Words During Latter's Examination. WHV'-.W:: C. ELLIOTT QUIT Says Her- Was Imposed Upon by the Politicians and Was Forced to' Be . Responsible for His Incompetent Deputies. Judge Sears, three of the jurors who Are hearing the evidence against C. J3. Ruraelin, who is on trial for having: at tempted to bribe ex-City Engineer W. C. Elliott, nnd the attorneys look a hand in interrogating the witnesses yesterday afternoon. The state con rluded its case when George Scoggin. vho was Elliott's deputy had finished his testimony. Throughout the trial of Thursday and all day yesterday C E. S. Wood, attorney for the defense, punc tured the proceedings with his objec tions. There was a monotonous, "I ob ject to the question as Incompetent, ir relevant and not good testimony." but Just as often, almost, as the objections were made, would Judge Sears quietly repeat. "Same ruling." Once or twice during the proceed ngs the lawyers on both sides engaged In verbal tilts and once it grew so tor--ld that Judge Sears stated that unless he attorneys did not observe the rules if. the court, he would find a way to ouipel them to do so. There was also i lively exchange of sarcastic repartee nenrcen District Attorney John Man ning and George H. Howell, an ex siember of the Executive Board. Howell had been called by the defense and be came a bit muddled in attempting to Phew just what connection the City & Suburban Railway had with the ilnal letting of the Front-street bridge con tract. When Air. Manning was about in the middle of his cross-examination, he aid: Manning: and Howell Wrangle. "Mr. Howell, do you remember that vhen I had you in my office and after i had finished talking with you that r said that when I got through with you, that you ought to resign from the board ?" "No, sir." repljed the witness, "you never made any such a remark. A man of your caliber could not make a re mark of that kind to me. A man who would dismiss an indictment against Blazlcr'could not talk to me that way." "Nor a man who would dismiss, an in dictment against Mayor Williams," pneerlngly remarked District Attorney Manning. Howell was in the midst of a hot retort, when Judge Sears put a stop to the controversy by declaring with a show of dignity that the witness was under the protection of the court. Mr. Manning quickly apologized to the court and once more the cross-examination went on. The squalls between the attorneys and the grilling cross examination of Joseph Weber and George- Howell and the presence of I Senator Fulton helped to enliven the 1 day's proceedings. The visit of Senator Fulton and the fact that he took. a seat directly behind Councilman Rumelln and engaged in conversation with him beTore the eyes of the jury, caused considerable comment among those who recognized the Senator. Senator Fulton and Rumelin were in conversa tion for several minutes. It was broken up by District Attorney John Manning, who. on catching sight of Mr. Fulton, stepped over to where he sat and shook hands with him. There was some whis pered conversation between the Dis trict Attorney and the Senator. Shortly after this Mr. Fulton rose and left the courtroom. The most important witness of the day was. W. C Elliott. Rumelin's ac cuser. There was a stir and a craning of necks when Elliott took the stand. He was a most reluctant witness, not withstanding the fact tht it was upon the information he gave the District Attorney that Rumelln was charged with attempting bribery. The witness answered the questions put to him on direct examination in a voice so low that even Judge Sears had to repeated ly request nlm to talk louder. Even then his answers cpuld not be heard a half dozen yards from him. On cross examination by Attorney Wood, how ever, Elliott seemed to have found his voice, for his replies were audible. Mr. Manning, by the narJest and closest kind of questioning, brought the story of the alleged bribery offer from the witness. Mr. Manning paved the way for this story by saying: Q. I Rill ask you to state to tlin Jury in jour own way what connection you had with the defendant. Charles E. Rumelln. relative to a certain bid th8t was made by what waa known as the Taelfle Construction Company, of Bvcrctt. Wash., by J. J. Maney, manager of the Front-street bridee across Marquam Gulch. A. I do- not remember the exact dates as to -when, the blds were advertised, but I hap pened to meet with the Executive Board -when the bids were opened and they were referred to me. The bids were referred to the City Engineer. In fact. I tooJc the bids as Devlin handed them to me. I think on the 24th or June I took the bide down to the City En gineer's office. The next morning I began to -work on them, comparinc them, sotting them ready to make a. report on them. Mr. Rumelln called that morning. I think, two or three different times; I am not sure. Just about. I think, ten minute to 32 we started down the street. Mr. Rumelln. Mr. Scoggin and myoelf. and as wo walked down the street he asked me If there was anything wrong with that bid or if It was not a very low one. I ftatcd It wai, I thought, a. very low bid. I did not know what they had to pay for their pteel. Q. The court What bid? A. The Maney bid. He asked me If there was not fome way In which we could throw It out. i told him there was none, iff the reason there as nothing wrong: with the plan. Q. How- many times did ho call In your tjffiee to aek you if there wasn't ome way In which jou could knock thl bid out? A. Two or three times. Q. ."What did he ay to you each time he called relative- to this bid? A. He says: "la there something wrong with it?" I said: "No, there was not." Q. What le did he say? A. He said, could I not find ewmething wrens with it? I said, "No, the man bad submitted a bjd attached to my own plan, which save the dimension of the bridge." q. When did be come again to the office? A. I- do not' remember what time two or three "times that day. q. "Each time, he called, did he have a. con versation with you about the Maney bid? A.-' TA -sir; I think he did, each time. Q;- What conversation did you have with him "then, if any, in regard to the Maney bldi" A." The conversation going down the street was kwlth. reference to- this bridge. .Xwhat was that conversation? A..', Well. Mr. Ruroelin asked me if I could not' .find something wrong with it.' We con tinues! down etreet until we got to Morrison rtreeU Mr. Rumelln asked me to Mop there fora moment, he wanted to speak to me. 1 Mopped at the southeast corner of Fifth and Morrison streets, and Mr. Scoggin walked on across the street. Mr. Rumelln aeked me cvr again If I would not do this If I would aoLJhave that bid thrown cut, make a recom mendation to Tiave It thrown out; thafthere would1 be $5098 dlflert-Ece between that and the next bid; he would get sae a shire of the amount. .... Q. Did he say anything. to you. about if you did- not .knock it out be would set someone else to do it? A. He stated that the certificate of deposit was not a certified check; he could have it declared as such by certain partle. Q. Who was that party? A. He would have the City Attorney o that. Q. And then what did you do? A. I lmply told him I would not do any thing of that kind; I wasn't going to do it. .When Attorney Wood took the witness ih hand his cross-examination was in the line of Impeachment. To the question asked by Mr. Wood as to what was the occasion of his (Elliott's) resigning from office. Elliott replied: "The principal reason was I got dis gusted with the office. I thought some thing of resigning when I was In there flirce months. I felt I was being imposed upon by the politicians to a certain ex tent. I was having incompetent men forced upon me, and other things. I was being held responsible for their acts, when I had nothing to say about -who they were, through the newspapers. I got thor oughly disgusted with the office." Scoggin Supports Elliott. ' George Scoggin followed Elliott on the stand. His testimony substantiated that given by his former chief. His examina tion by the state was brief, and when he was turned over to the attorney for the defense Mr. Wood followed the same line of Impeachment. Attorney Wood .went over the details leading up to the expos ure of the Tanner-Creek sewer. Scoggin admitted that he had been forced to re sign along with his chief, Elliott, on ac count of the action of the City Council. When Attorney Wood asked the witness if he "forged the names of Elliott. Chand ler and Rlner to the certificates of ac ceptance," Scoggin replied: "I did not forge the names of anybody to the certificates. I signed the names of the City Engineer and the Surveyor, but I did not forge them." "Did you forge the name of Rlner?" as'ked Mr. Wood. "I certainly did not," was the quick rejoinder. The first witness called by the defense was William Flledner, a member of the Executive Board. Mr. Fliedner could not throw much light on the case, and his examination developed nothing of much importance, and not much time was wasted in his examination. Joseph Weber, another member was next called. Attor ney Wood asked him if Rumelin had ever talked to him concerning the Maney bid. Weber stated that he had not. nor had anyone else. When the District Attorney came to cross-examine him, Weber got "badly tangled up. and the combined effort of the court and the District Attorney could not get him straightened out. Mr. Manning did eet him to admit that in all the time he had served as a member of the board that no other contractor had ever been given back his contract and his certificate of deposit. The Maney case was the only one he could remember. The witness explained that this was done on the strength of a letter that Maney had written, and which was read before the board. Weber would not admit that any one -had interested themselves In Maney's behalf. Boise Too 111 lo Attend. At the conclusion of Weber's testimony Attorney Wood called for Whitney L Boise. Mr. Boise was not present. A telephone message had been received from Mr. Boise during the morning stating that he was confined to his bed. An attempt was made to have Mr. Boise's testimony taken Thursday evening, but the attorney for the defense refused to permit him to testify because what he would testify re ferred to the records of the board meet ings. Mr. Wood had previously objected to the admission of the original proceed ings of the board as evidence, demanding that certified copies be offered. For a while Attorney Wood seemed to have forgotten all this. Mr. Boise had ex plained to the court that the reason he wished to testify was because he was 111. and was almost at a point where it would be necessary for him to take to his bed. Mr. Wood was informed of Mr. Boise's condition In the morning, but this did not prevent him from requesting that a bench warrant be sworn out for Mr. Boise. Judge Sears objected to doing this. His Honor ordered his bailiff to telephone for Mr. Boise. Judge Sears answered the tele phone, and when he returned he explained to the attorney for the defense that Mr. Boise was too ill to appear. Mr. Wood then withdrew his demand. Executive Board Appears. Several other members of the Executive Board who had been summoned to appear as witnesses for the defense were also absent. Deputy Haney suggested to Mr. Wood that he order bench warrants for the entire board. T1I do that," fired back the attorney for the defense, "if it is necessary." It was not necessary, for some one tele phoned to the board, which was in ses sion, and its members lost no time jn ap pearing at court. Just as they were filing Into the courtroom, Mayor Williams bringing up the rear. "Attorney Wood sud DISTRICT ATTORNEY T denly remembered that he had a. witness who wished to leave town, and he called him to the stand. He was Charles S. Blehler. a. civil engineer from Tacoma. Mr. Blehler testified as an expert. He testified that lie had made a bid on tho Front-street bridge, and that he had. since Kb had been brought to the city, made estimates of what It trould cost to build the bridge. From these estimates, when he had compared them to those made by the Pacific Construction Com pany, of Everett. Wash., through J. J. Maney, he had figured that Maney would have lost money. Mr. Manning drew an admission from him that the charges for extras on the Front-street bridge were exorbitant. The cross-examination of Weber and George Howell seemed to throw some new light on the case. Howoll admitted that he had voted for the return of the cer tificate of deposit to Maney, and gave as his reason that he understood that the City & Suburban Railway Company, which held the franchise on Front street, had threatened to throw up this franchise In case all the bids were thrown out and tney were readvertised. At this time the witness explained the two street railways had been merged, that the City & Sub urban Company held the franchise over Front street and the Portland Railway people, held the franchise over First street. This gave the company both fran chises, and as they could use the First street bridge, they were willing to drop the Front-street franchise and thereby save something like J20.0GO. which was the assessment which the City & Suburban would have to pay for the building of this structure. Mr. Manning attempted to draw from the witness whether he knew that the Pacific Construction Company, of California, and the City & Suburban were one and the same people. Mr. Howell stated that he did not know whether they .were fh catno r nni it .i,ti. 'Howell was trying to explain the part mai tne jty & suburban threat had to do with the action of the board in letting Maney off that he became tangled up. Judge Erazer and three of the jurors plied the witness with questions, but the wit ness left the stand with the puzzle still unsolved. City Auditor a Witness. City Auditor T. C. Devlin was the first witness called during the morning. Mr. Devlin explained the transactions of the board and how it came to let Maney off. He was subjected to a rigid examination by both sides, especially as to the fact that he had closed his office at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of June 25. Mr. Wood tried to prove that Mr. Devlin had closed nis office at that hour. Rodney L. Glisan .was also called. Both Mr. Devlin and Glisan testified that, so far as they knew, no on was approached by Rumelin in an effort to have Maney's bid set aside. WILLIAMS ONEAST SIDE His Friends Say Major Is Gaining Strength There Constantly. Mayor Williams' supporters think they will carry the four East Side wards and say that there has been a manifest swing ing in his direction ever since the prima ries were held, especially In the past week. They aver that the Tanner-Creek scan dal has taken on a new aspect since the conviction of R. M. Rlner, the contractor, which has put a different phase on the question on the East Side; also the fact that the Mayor has caused the sewer to be completed at the cost of the bonds men. There are two big sewer contracts to be let on the East Side within the next year the Inington and the Brooklyn and the manner in which Mayor Williams acted on the Tanner-Creek sewer, his friends thlnt- hoe Mowt .

At Woodlawn and In the district of many gravel pits, the people feel that Mayor Williams is their friend. At his visit there several weeks ago, before the primaries, he met the people and made a frank and effective talk. He and City At torney McNary promised that measures would be taken forthwltn to put a stop to the gravel-pit nuisance. At the close of ha- meeting nearly the entire audience gathered about the Mayor, anxious to take him by the hand. At the meeting of the propcYty-owners and residents of the East Twenty-olghth-street district, a few weeks ago, he was introduced as the 'next Mayor of Port land." The meeting was called to con sider the matter of fire protection. Mayor Williams then gave another frank talk, explaining the difficulties and lack of money, and was heartily thanked by the entire audience. His supporters say that In his talks at Woodlawn and at East Twenty-eightn street he was able to show the people that he understood their needs and was anxious to afford them belief as soon as possible. liincman lias Bad Fall.

HEARING IN COURT TODAY Theater Contends Tliat Council May Uevokc Its License Only Through an Ordinance, and Gets Out Injunction. The Police Department of the City of Portland, its head and all its agents, were served with an injunction at 10 o'clock list night, prohibiting inter ference with the Orp'neum Theater for selling ' liquor without a license. The temporary Injunction was Issued by Judge Sears, and will be argued this afternoon. At 10 o'clock last night Deputy Sher iff Moreiand entered the central police station and asked Captain Moore, in command of the first night relief, for Chief Hunt. He was told that the Chief was at his residence and had retired. Deputy Moreiand then stated that he had a temporary injunction from the court of Judge Sears, restraining the Portland Police Department, and all Its agents, from interfering- with the Or pheum Theater for selling liquor with out a-license. In the absence of Chief Hunt, the injunction was served upon Captain Moore, bis representative. It will also be served upon the Chief at an early hour this morning. The injunction is the direct result of the revocation of tlje Orpheum The ater license by tha Council. The resolu tion, revoking" the license was signed by Mayor "Williams yesterday and it immediately became operative. There were rumors afloat last evening to the effect that the police were to raid the Orpheum last night and make pris oners of the proprietors if any liquor wes sold. The proprietors of the 'theater se cured the Injunction. It was immediate ly served upon the department. Last night liquor was sold as usual, and po licemen -who would have caused ar rests for the infringement of the law were forced to walk backward and. for ward before the theater while the glasses tinkled inside and the siren's wall, accompanied by the orchestra, came floating out the doors. Today the question will be argued before Judge- Sears, and the fate of the Orpheum Theater decided. The question at issue Is whether the Council had a right to revoke the license .in the maa-ner- in which, the. actios was taken.
