THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1906. MAY PLEAD GUILTY TO BIGAMY CHARGE Lorenzo Joseph Dame Would Like to Escape With Light Sentence. SON VISITS HIM IN JAIL TJncle of Dame Says Nephew's First Wife la Living in Seattle. Prisoner Has Two Wives in Portland. Lorenzo Joseph Dame may plead guilty to polygamy on the condition that he be given a light sentence In the penitentiary. Dame was visited in the County Jail yes terday by Deputy District Attorney H. B. Adams, and the prisoner talked as though he wanted to have the trouble over as quickly as possible. Dame declared that his last wife would be true to him, and that they would live happily together after he had served his sentence. While the Deputy District Attorney was talking to the prisoner. Dame's 12-year-old son called to see his parent. Tears came to the eyes of both when they met. The little fellow said that he was to stay at the Boys" and Girls' Aid Society for a few days until his grandmother (Dame's mother). In Walla Walla, could be writ ten to. Dame avers that his first wife, the toy's mother. Is dead. A new phase is put on this story by a letter recently re ceived by Mr. Adams from Albert John son, ot Walla Walla, who announces that the mother of the child Is now living lh Beattle. and should be made to care for her son, as the grandmother is old and Incapable of working for the lad. John son promises to secure the address of Mrs. Dame No. L It Is thought that this subject will be Investigated before the prisoner is tried or sentenced. Johnson states'that he is Dame's uncle, and avers that his nephew's grandfather died while Insane. The uncle is of the opinion that Dame's married life, or lives, has unset tled the prisoner's mind. During his conversation with Mr. Adams, Dame admitted he had served a term in the Washington penitentiary, but refused to tell the crime that caused his arrest. The fact that Johnson says Mrs. Dame No. 1 Is In Seattle, while Dame declares she is dead, adds an air of mys tery that makes Mr. Adams wonder whether or not Dame had a legal right to wed his second wife. The prisoner was arrested July 9, Just 11 days after his third marriage. He is only 30 years old. June 28 last he mar ried Myrtle B. Kelso while Mrs. Marie Rosetta Sutcliffe Dame, who married the arrested man April 25. 1904, was living in this city and undivorced. EHICKSON DIVORCE IN COURT Lane County Couple Make Counter Charges Before Judge Gantenbeln. "A woman can look up and down, and then tell 10 lies right away afterwards." This was the startling new theory ad vanced by Frank Garry yesterday after noon while he was acting as a witness In the divorce suit of Carrie Erlckson against Erlck Erlckson. Garry testified that he had often heard Mrs. Erlckson say that she was going to secure a di vorce and then she would have several thousand dollars to buy a cigar store. When asked if the reason he had wanted to testify for the defendant In this case was because he wanted to marry Elsie Barber, daughter of Mrs. Erickson, and was refused, Garry became very excited and yelled: "I did not, I tell you, I did not! She must- be crazy If she thinks so." The actions of the witness and the answers given by him were so unusual that the bailiff had to rap for order con tinually, and even Judge Gantenbeln could not keep from laughing. Mrs. Erlckson is suing for a divorce on the ground of cruelty. Her husband is a rich rancher living near Eugene, and he filed a counter charge, alleging that his wife deserted him last August and came to Portland. He says she has been intimate with other men. On the witness stand he said she had been untrue to him but that he had always been kind to her. Garry, Mrs. May Loman. Charles Decker and Mrs. A. T. Workman testi fied that they had seen Mrs. Erlckson with one N. J. Sullivan. During the rebuttal testimony Sullivan said that he had simply roomed in a flat that had been rented by Mrs. Erickson and her daughter and son-in-law. Hugh Barr. a Eugene merchant, was another rebuttal witness for the plaintiff, it hav ing been brought out by the defendant's nttorneys that Mrs. Erickson has spent a great deal of time in the Barr store: the witness said that the only times the woman had been in the store was to pay some lodge dues. Mrs. T. Black, of Eugene, said that Erickson had mis treated his wife. During the forenoon two sons of the Erlcksons, Fred, aged IB years, and Charles, aged 12 years, declared that their father had always been kind to the mother. The boys both stated they wished to live with their father, because they said "he was the best." All of the testimony was presented last night, and Judge Gantenbeln will an nounce his decision today. Lawyer's Fee More Than Sum Sued G. A. Vehr was yesterday made the de fendant in a suit In which the sum sued for is the smallest asked In any case begun In the Circuit Court here during many years. Mr. Vehr is sued for 120. the plaintiff being J. L. O'Donnell. In his complaint, which was filed by 'Attor ney A. T. Lewis, O'Donnell declares that last Spring he graded two lots belonging to the defendant and located on the cor ner of Tenth and Harrison streets. The grader says his work was worth $20. but that the property-owner has not paid the bill. Mr. Lewis asks the court to allow him J25 attorney's fees, which is one fourth more than the sum sued for, while It cost $10 clerk's fees, one-half the amount sued for, to file the complaint. Mining Company Incorporates. Articles of Incorporation for the Page Mining Company were filed In the office of County Clerk Frank S. Fields vester day by C. A. Dolph and Joseph Simon, of this city, and Frank T. Post, of Spo kane. The capital stock of the new cor poration will be $2,000,000. and Its princi pal offices will be located In Portland. Appraisers File Report. D. S. Starnes, W. P. Slnnott and George A. Brodle. appraisers of the estate of the late Matthew O. C. Murphy, made their report to the County Court yesterday. They aver that the estate left by Mr! Murphy Is valued at $52,500, and consists of real estate located on Fourth and Tay lor streets. last night, while people thought to themselves, "It certainly has been." And every one seemed to be in par ticularly high spirits because of mod eratiou of the temperature. The arc lights scattered throughout the park grounds were late in being turned on, arid when they glared forth rather suddenly they were the cause of a commotion among spooning cou ples seated on the benches. W. E. McElroy acted as director. The atteniance was unusually large. H0GE IS 0NJHE WAY. Unless He Appears His $4000 Bond Will Be Forfeited. Unless Martin G. Hoge, one of the principal defendants in the land-fraud case now on trial, appears In the Federal Court this morning at 10 o'clock and answers to his name, his bond of $4000 will be declared forfeited. Such was the order of United States District Judge Hunt yesterday morning, and it was given with unmistakable emphasis. In fact, Judge Hunt made it plain to all within hearing that he will not tol erate any nonsense, and that he has ex ercised a certain amount of leniency in the Hoge case because of the fact that, under the impression he was talking with a Juryman over the long-distance tele phone last Sunday, Instead of the de fendant, he gave the latter a sort of quasl-promise to excuse him from attend ance at the trial, providing he was ill to the extent claimed. At the. opening of court Special Assist ant to the Attorney-General Heney called the attention of Judge Hunt to the fact that he had caused a telegram to be sent yesterday to one of the most prominent ctizens of Medford, requesting advices as to whether or not Defendant Hoge could with safety be brought here for trial, and that the following reply was received: "From my best information he is able to come ehere." Deputy United States Marshals had also visited the defendant, and Dr. E. B. Pickell, a reputable physi cian of the place, had made a diagnosis of Hoge's case for the Government and reported that he was not suffering any serious ailment. Mr. Heney stated fur ther that Dr. Pickell had corroborated his telegraphic report of Hoge's physlcial condition with the telephonic information that there was not the slightest danger in his appearing for trial . , Mr. Heney read a letter which he had sent to Hoge last Friday, notify ing him that he must appear for trial on the following Monday. At the bot tom of this notice was a pencil mem orandum from Mrs. Hoge to the effect that her husband was ill and could not appear at the trial. This letter d'd not reach Mr. Heney until after the court proceedings of last Monday. "This is the third attempt of de fendants to evade trials upon this plea,'' said Mr. Heney vehemently, "and 1 desire at this cime to announce that hereafter when defendants fail to put In an appearance upon the date set for their trials. I shall move to forfeit their bonds, and I now move that an order of forfeiture be entered against Hoge in this case. I know of no other way of preventing these defendants from entering pleas of sickness at the last moment without notifying the Government. As a result the Govern ment is put to heavy expense on ac count of Issuing and executing bench warrants, and making , medical exami nations." Upon adjournment Mr. Heney ex plained that he had referred to the cases of Marion R. Biggs last year. coupled with that of State Senator F. r. Miljs aim tiiin idlest. cfiauuu nucu he called attention to the three at tempts that had been made to evade trial, on the plea of illness. After listening- to a recital of the facts relative to Mr. Heney's efforts to ascertain the truth concerning Hoge's physical condition. Judge Hunt made the following statement: "In view of the fact that this was undoubtedly the person who tele phoned to me last Sunday, I will not order a forfeiture until tomorrow morning. A bench warrant is out standing for Defendant Hoge's arrest, and I understand it is the Intention to produce him in court tomorrow morn ing. We will defer making the order until then, but I want it understood distinctly that I will then enter the forfeiture unless he Is In court. It Is a reprehensible thing for defendants charged with a grave offense to inter fere with the operations of the law in this way, and I consider it a peculiar practice where men who are accused of crime do not make their appearance at the time set for trying their cause." Calling attention to the hardships im posed upon Jurymen by taking them away from their industries during the busiest season of the year, and noting that the Government was at large expense In cident to delays, the Judge in plain lan guage warned all defendants not to under take to trifle with the ends of Justice by such tactics of delay. "I am here to proceed with these trials," said he, ,"and am anxious that the cases should go ahead without unnecessary hindrance. That is what we are all here for, and if It becomes necessary the exceptional ex penses must be met by such fines and forfeitures as the court may find it neces sary to impose. In this connection I wish to state for the benefit of all de fendants that they must be on hand at the time set for their trials." Hoge's bondsmen are Isaiah L. Hamil ton, William H. Bradley and Washington Rawlings, but It is cot likely that they will be called upon to face any forfeiture, as reports reeclved from Medford last night Indicate that Hoge is on his way here, and should reach Portland In ample time to appear at the opening of court, his train being due to arrive at 7:25 this morning. At the opening of court yesterday morn ing District Attorney Bristol presented the pardon granted to Judge Albert H. Tanner by President Roosevelt, releasing him from further concern In connection with his plea of guilty to a charge of perjury, committed before the Federal grand Jury last year while testifying In behalf of Senator Mitchell relative to their partnership agreement. The docu ment was entered of record, thus clearing Judge Tanner of all criminal proceedings. Upon motion of Mr. Bristol. Judge Hunt ordered a bench warrant to be issued for Edwin T. Whitney, who pleaded guilty May 14 to the commission of perjury by falsely swearing before United States Commissioner A. C. Palmer that he had not exhausted his homestead right. For this offense he was fined $250, giving bonds in the sum of $2000 that he would abide by the sentence of court. After giving the bonds he is alleged to have fled to Idaho, and now James Rafter, of St. Joe. and William M. McCarter, of St. Mary's, Idaho, will have to pay the amount, as Judge Hunt declared the bond forfeited In addition to issuing the war rant for Whitney's arrest. The appearance of W. D. and J. E. Fenton was entered as attorneys for Frank E. Alley, the Roseburg searcher of records, who was indicted April 8, 1905. in case No. 2940. for conspiracy. His trial has been set for August 13. . STARR'S LIFE IS THREATENED Anonymous Letter Declares She Will Pay for Her Sym pathy for Esther Mitchell. NO CLEW TO THE WRITER Big Crowd Hears Band Concert. The band played "la It Warm Enough for Tcu?" at Hawthorne Park District Attorney Manning Is In formed of the Threat; and Bur gess E. Starr Declares He Will Give Letter to the Police. Another chapter has developed in the sensational Cref field-Mitchell case, and now Mrs. Burgess B. Starr bids for the leading role. It has just come to light that Mrs. Starr, who announced herself as pleased at the death of George Mitch ell, was the recipient of a letter, last Sat urday morning from an unknown party or parties, in which her life was threat ened. The letter has since been in pos session of Mrs. Starr's husband, and no one was aware of its existence except District Attorney Manning until The Ore gonian secured the facts from the Starrs, Immediately upon receipt of the letter ! Mr. Starr turned the letter over to At torney Manning for action, but the dis trict prosecutor preferred to make no statement to the public, since Starr has kept the letter, with the intention of turn ing it over to the city police. He has been too busy to do this, but says he will today hand over the threatening epistle to Chief Gritzmacher. The letter was short, but decidedly to the point. It was addressed "Mrs. B. E. Starr," and signed Indistinctly "G. C. G." I Its general tenor was that the author, i with others, was determined, in view of ' Mrs. Starr's declared pleasure at the ! death of Mitchell, to kill her. When i asked concerning the phrasing of the let ter, Mr. Starr was very hazy. He only remembered that it was couched in no uncertain terms, and said particularly: "I, or If I can't, some member will get you." Xne husband of the woman addresseed was surprised and entirely in the dark as to who the author might be or what his motives were. The postmark was Station B, which is located in Albina, but other than that there was absolutely no clew on the envelope or letter sheet by which the writer might be detected. The handwriting was smooth and legible, and an attempt had been made to make the signature as indistinct as possible. Yesterday Starr went to Newberg with the body of Mitchell, accompanying Perry and Fred Mitchell. All three returned on the evening train, Starr to his home on the East Side, the Mitchell boys to their quarters, the whereabouts of which Starr professed not to know. "I gave the letter to Fred Mitchell," said Starr last evening, when requested to deliver the threatening letter for pub lication, "and I do not know where he 13 staying. I had intended long before to give it into the hands of the police, and shall do so tomorrow, or as soon as I can see Fred. The letter was in vicious lan guage, and, although It uses no improper language and is not at all Illiterate, It leaves no doubt of the author's meaning. I cannot understand why it was sent or who could have written it." District Attorney Manning has known of the letter ever since last Saturday, when it was delivered to him by Starr, and when asked if he proposed to take any action in the matter, he replied that he would not. Mrs. Starr was seen at her home yester day afternoon, and she appears deeply af fected by the receipt of the threatening epistle. She trembled when speaking of it, and her whole manner was that of a person in deadly fear of her life. The late events seem a!so to have completely wrecked her nerves. Starr feels deeply his position. With much feeling he said last evening: "No one can do me any more wrong than has already been done me. There is one thing 1 want distinctly understood. My wife is not in her right mind; there is no doubt of it, and I will not tolerate any more reporters about my house seeking to question her for information when she is in such a pitiable plight."

Blears to Seke Trade for Port land Jobbers. Active efforts are in progress among representative local bodies to culti vate closer commercial relations with the Hawaiian Islands, and with that object in view a meeting was held yesterday alteYnoon of Jobbers and manufacturers of this city, with the president and several directors of the Chamber of Commerce, and President of the Board of Trade. W. A. Hears, for the past ten years secretary of the transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce, and rated as one of the best-posted persons on transportation matters in the North west, was selected to go to Honolulu as the representative of this city's in terests in the islands. He will leave here for San Francisco July 28, and sail for the latter place for his destin ation on August 2. The object of his visit will be to show to the buyers of the islands the advantages possessed by Portland, to gether with its ability to take care of any trade they have to offer, In ad dition to pointing out the advlsability of supporting the Matson line of steamers. An endeavor will also be made by Mr. Mears to secure a portion of the island trade for Portland upon the plea that such a course would estab lish a competitive market, San Fran cisco having controlled practically all their exporting and importing trade for many years. To this end it was the sense of the meeting yesterday that inducements should be offered the business houses of Honolulu to appoint resident buy ers for this city as well as San Fran cisco. The situation was thoroughly canvassed by those present, one par ticipant in the discussion being of the opinion that it would be better for each local firm to send an individual salesman. It was finally concluded to have some one pave the way, and rep resent all interests, and in this connec tion the appointment of Mr. Mears ap pealed to the body as If by common impulse, on account of his well-known ability to grasp commercial problems of this character. He will be fur nished proper credentials by the Cham ber of Commerce, and expects to re main about six weeks on his mission. Mr. Mears is anxious that any job ber or manufacturer who has an In terest In keeping the Matson. steam ship line alive should communicate with him in order that he may be able to keep in touch with the situa tion as much as possible. Brickmak ers and other manufacturers of build ing material are especially Invited to meet him.

Mrs. Ross says she Is glad to get rid of him, as lately he has acquired a habit of remaining out late at night on the plea of having to work, when, as a mat ter of fact, his employers told her he did nothing of the sort. Wife of San Francisco Refugee Declares Her Husband Has Deserted Her. Edward W. Ross, an employe of the American Type Founders' Company, who until Monday night resided with his come ly young wife at 261V4 Fifth street, has hit upon a plan as novel in its arrange ment as it was cruel in detail in his efforts to get rid of her. Under pre tense of being obliged to work late that night, and in order further to lull what ever suspicions she might have enter tained concerning his fidelity, he accom panied his note with a couple of tickets to the Heillg Theater, telling her to take a lady friend and enjoy the play while he pursued his nocturnal labors. Accord ing to the note, he was to meet her at 11 o'clock after the performance and es cort her home. After waiting at a friend's house near Park and Morrison streets until well past midnight. Mrs. Ross concluded that her husband had missed calculations tn some way, and returned to their residence alone. She found the front door open and ei'idence of a hurried flight on the part of her husband, all his personal be longings having been packed up and him self nowhere in sight. Instead was this short note, breathing of 'his stony-hearted intentions: "Emma I am going to San Francisco. If you love me, follow. If you want money, telegraph to grandma or your sister." "I don't believe he has even left town," said Mrs. Ross last night while relating her tale of woe to The Oregonlan. "He shook me once before that way, but came back after he got through chasing, and, like a fool, I forgave him, but I am not going to be such a chump again. I shall secure a divorce, and it will be curtains for him ever afterward," and Mrs. Ross' big blue eyes snapped as if she really meant It. The couple have been married about two years and a half, and came here as refugees from San Francisco after the earthquake. They have no children, and MEETING NOTICES. PORTLAND CHAPTER. NO. 3, R. A.
