Francis Mitchell Discharged
Through Negligence of
Detectives.
MAN WHO SOUGHT ESCAPE
Only One Witness Appeared, Al
though Detectives Boasted of
Strong Case Accused Con
sidered Desperate.
"With the penitentiary staring 'aim
in the face, Francis Mitchell -was re
leased on a charge of larceny in a
dwelling: because Detectives Kerrigan
and Snow neglected for three consec
utive days to produce the witnesses to
prove the case. This occurred yester
day morning- in the. Municipal Court,
when the prisoner was up for prelim
inary nearJng before Judge Cameron.
Mitchell Is regarded as one of the
most desperate criminals ever cap
tured in Portland. That he was guilty
of breaking into the room of Leroy
Berry, in the Ross House, and stealing
a watch and 515 In cash,' there seemed
not the slightest doubt, and Deputy
DlBtrict Attorney Haney fully expeot
ed, from his knowledge of the case, to
convict Mitchell of larceny In a dwell
ing and send "nim to the penitentiary.
Mitchell broke out of the Tacoma
City Jail, where be was serving a term
of 60 days on the rockpile. He was ar
rested here by Kerrigan and Snow, at
which time a watch, presumed to have
been stolen, was found hidden in his
stocking. The flrst night he "was in
jail, he managed somehow to secure a
spoon, "with which he tunneled from
the bottom of his cell, on the third
story, and almost made his escape. For
tunately, he "was discovered Just in
time by Policeman "Wilson, and re
moved to a more secure cell.
Mitchell was identified by Leroy
Berry, as the man who stole his watch,
and furthermore, the watch was found
where it had been thrown by James
O'Connor, a pal of Mitchell. O'Connor
is now held to the grand jury for lar
ceny. When arrested, Mitchell also had
$15 on his porson the exact sum stolen
from Berry's room.
For the past week Detectives Kerri
gan and Snow havo been telling every
one about the desperate character of
Mitchell, and the strong case they had
secured against him. Yesterday, how
ever, they were not present with tnolr
witnesses. Tuosday, when Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Hanoy called the case
and found no witnesses present, he
stated that unless witnesses were on
hand the following day, he would have
the case dismissed.
"When Mitchell was brought out. At
torney Dogan appeared to defend xilm,
but he found there -was nothing to de
fend, that the detectives had utterly
lailed to make out a case, bad neglect
ed to produce the t witnesses and that
the whole thing, as a prosecution,, was
a farce.
The only witness called was Police
man Anderson, who knew nothing con
cerning MItcholl except that he had
seen him with O'Connor on the morn
ing he and Policeman O'Brien arrested
O'Connor. Mitchell took to his heels
on that occasion, escaping.
On this lamentably weak testimony, and
no rUore forthcoming. Judge Cameron
quickly discharged Mitchell. Kerrigan
and Snow then began complaining about
the matter, and made the statement that
the proper witnesses had not beon sub
penaed, but when asked concerning this
feature of the case. Clerk Hennessey de
clared Kerrigan and Snow had never re
quested subpoenas for anyone in the case.
Mitchell is a man who Is widely ac
quainted with criminals, and from the
actions of Detectives Kerrigan and Snow
during the entire proceedings, observers
have remarked that there is method in
the madness of the high-salaried sleuths
who failed to make out a case.
"With righteous indignation expressed
by word and act, the detectives demanded
that a charge of vagrancy be filed against
Mitchell, after he was discharged on the
other count, and -this was done, tho date
for hearing being fixed for today.
Charles Boggess and Charles Peterson,
young men who have been identified with
what is known to the police as the "East
Side gang," were yesterday held to the
grand jury under bonds of 5750 each, to
await action on charges of burglary. They
were arrested by Policemen Stuart and
Jodon, after a running fight, one night
last week. They are accused of entering
and robbing, the saloon of Captain J.
Olson, on East Morrison, between Bridge
and Water streets.
J. M. Long appeared before Judge Cam
eron and attacked the legality of the
jury list, drawn last June 5, by ex-Munlcl-pal
Judge Hogue, on several grounds.
The principal reason assigned by counsel,
was that that was.a nonjudicial day. The
court ruled against this, but stated that
he would cause a new venire of six to be
issued and to be ready to try the case
of the city against August Erlckson to
day. Erickson Is charged with permitting
a concert in his saloon, contrary to the
city ordinance.
Joseph Hayes, an unemployed pressman,
was held yesterday to the grand Jury on
a charge of assault and battery, pre
ferred by his wife.

AFTER FORTY-TWO -YEARS
BROTHER AND SISTER MEET
HERE IX PORTLAND.
Barest Chance Brings Them To
gether, Following Separation
Dating Back to Ireland.
After a separation of more than 42 years.
Miss Mary Ellen Hartnett. who keeps a
lodging-house at the corner of Fourth
and Morrison streets, has met her
brother. M. Hartnett, a well-to-do ma
chinist, whose home is In Couer d'AIene.
Brother and sister last saw each other
In Ireland. They came to America" at
different times, but knew . nothing of
each other's whereabouts until a couple
of weeks ago.
It seems that a guest from Mr. Hart
nett's home on visiting Portland took
rooms with Miss Hartnett and when it
came to settling up he was given a re
ceipt. When this guest saw the name
Hartnett he asked Miss Hartnett If she
had a brother In the Couer d'AIene. Miss
Hartnett knew she once had a brother
and hoping that this might be he, she
wrote him a note and had her lodger
hand It to him on his return. Mr. Hart
nett could not believe that the Mary Ellen
Hartnett of Portland was his sister and
It took a second letter to get him in
terested. He did not respond by letter,
but wishing to visit the Exposition he
came. He at once hunted up Miss Hart
nett and found his sister. He arrived
here on Sunday and since then he and
his long-lost sister have been taking In
the Fair.

express purpose of visiting the Exposi

its obJecL So thoroughly did the party

In Defense of Emerson.
PORTLAND. Aug. 8. (To the. Edlfor.) It
appears that It is not a question of becoming
an Emersonphlle or an Emersonphobe. There
are Mine of each kind, but the many will
remain free. Did Emerson ever try to pose
as an authority, to be followed, blindly or
otherwise? Some try to defame him because
he was not explicit on questions Indescrib
able. Ho left deity wfiere he found It. in
describable and undescrlbed. So did other
savants before, and so we havo reason to
believe others will contlne to do. How much
easier It U to anthropomorphize that which
is beyond human conception. All of thes
more or less accurately described anthropo
morphic deities differ according to the cul
ture, purity and evolution of their devotees.
Emerson yearned for the as yet unattalned.
It must ever be sd. He tried to arouse the
yearning In others. Has he succeeded?
Ask one who has Imbued this spirit of as
plrffllon. so frequently dwelled on by Emer
son. If -he would exchange it for all the ac
curate, definite, cut-and-drtcd formulas ot
councils and edicts. Some oppose Emerson
because he. with Hegel, believed In absoluto
mental freedom. To be free! Is there a rarer
phenomenon In the world? Do not confound
freedom with license, which only changes
the bondage from one master to another.
The followers of Emerson! Who ever heard
of any? Those who understand Emerson
do not follow anybody, nor aro they In
search of anybody to follow. They are In
search for truth, and the truth will make
them free. Emerson Is hated and feared
Just on this account, that he advocated free
dom instead of dogma.
As to the results of Emerson's teachings.
It Is not likely that they will cause the
authorities to burn anyone at the stake or
Interfere with a man who Is content to re
main a good citizen. Irrespective ot belief.
Emerson knew human limitations. There
fore, he did not try to materialize the im
material. Had he tried It. the result might
have been as grotesque as many before him,
and la now attempted by certain reactionists.

Juvenile Court Proteges.
At the invitation of the Oaks man
agement, H. H. Hawley and Marlon "R.
Johnson, ot the Juvenile Cou. yester
day afternoon escorted J 12 boys to tho
popular resort, where they were given
the freedom of the placo until further
orders. The lads enjoyed themselves
to the fullest extent, and as a climax
were taken to the Tavern Cafe In a
body and regaled with ice cream. It
required the services of one of the
largo trailers to transport the crowd
of jolly urchins.
A letter was received yesterday from
the Juvenile Court contingent that Is
visiting the seashore. The writer went
Into details In "describing the amount
of pleasure that was being extracted
from the trip by the 28 boys, who have
named their rendezvous "Camp Frazer"
in honor of the Judge of the local
court. They had also beenon a visit
to Fort Stevens, and the crew of the
HfesRvlng station gave a special ex
hibition for their edification. Alto
gether, the boys were having an ex
ceedingly good time.

of several thousand- to be added to the
110.500 or more known to be perma
nent residents here.
Of the causes of death. 17 were from
diseases of the circulatory system,

nervous system, eight of the respira
tory system, 11 of the genlto-urlnary
system. 17 communicable diseases, 13

with pain extending far around on my
