JOHNSON SURE HE
WON'T BE HANGED
Admits Killinq Perdue, but
Says He Feared Latter
Would Shoot First. .
VICTIM CAME FROM SOUTH
Seir-Confessed Murderer Occupies
Cell In Hillsboro Jail Relates
to Prosecuting Attorney Story
Of His Grewsome Crime.
HILLPRORO, Or.. Augr. 17. f Special.)
Sheriff Hancock arrived here this
morning: with Walter Johnson, the self
confessed murderer of Elmer Perdue,
whom the prisoner killed in the
Burgholxer cabin, 22 miles northwest
of this city, the latter part of June.
Johnson is occupying the same cell
that Wlntzegrerode lived in when held
for murder some years ajro. . He is
badly shaken, but thinks a Jury will
not hang- him. notwithstanding that he
admits the killing- and that he after
ward took the dead man's money.
Johnson stated to an Oregonlan re
porter today that he and Perdue
stopped at the Burgrholser cabin over
night. In their quest for timber. They
awakened early in the morning, and
Pei due reproached Johnson for not lo
cating him as he had promised. He
says that Perdue told him he would
get him and started for his gun.
Johnson says he shot Perdue with a
rifle that he borrowed from a Mr. Kel
ley. who lives at Fifth and Couch
streets. Portland. He then carried the
body across a ravine over huge logs
and through underbrush, until he came
to an upturned tree, where he covered
him. Johnson says:
Walked to Banks After Killing.
"I did not look through his watch
pocket, where the badges were. After
I killed him I walked to Banks, and
from there hired a rig and drove to
Forest Grove, going into Portland on
the trsin. 1 did not hit Perdue over
the head, as reported, as the shot killed
him instantly. I was badly worked up,
and do not remember much about it.
I have been subject to fainting spells,
or fits, or something like that, for
years. I married Jessie Thomas, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Riley Thomas,
of the Nehalem. ,
"Perdue told me that he came from
North Carolina or Tennessee, I don't re
member which. He said that he knew
something about the moonshine business,
but he might have been kidding me. I
met him about a week before I took him
into the mountains above Buxton. I first
mw him at the Acme employment office,
on Fourth and Burnside, I think. I took
Perdue to Allen B Joy's law office and
had papers prepared, and then went to
the Land Office with him, where he filed.
I was the, first witness on the paper, but
The Oregonlan report stated that I was
fourth, and I'm not sure as to which is
right.
Will Claim Self-Defense.
"I noticed the rirseshoe ring on Per-
due's finger.' but do not remember Just
how It looked. I think I shot Perdue in
the forehead, somewhere, but am ."not
aure. I do not think they will hang me,
for I thought Perdue waa going to get
me."
Johnson is a grandson Of the late J. H.
and Lucinda Walker, who settled on a
donation claim three miles south of Gas
ton early in the 'GOs. He renewed his con
fession of the killing to the Deputy Dis
trict Attorney this morning.
Johnson is well known at Cornelius,
where hl father ran a saloon in the "90s.
and where the boy was noted for truancy
and for petty thUja-ing. His mother lives
at Lents.
GOOD PACK ATBRISTOL BAY
Salmon Catch, However', Xot Equal
to Last' Reason's.
ASTORIA. Or.. Aug: 17. (Special.)
Private advices received on Saturday
from Alaska give a more agreeable ac
count of the pack of the Bristol Bay
canneries than were first received. It
Is to the effect that the first reports
were under the actual catch, as all of
the canneries there filled everything
available. The first report was simply
of the pinks and did not take into con
sideration the other pack. At the same
time a report was received from South
eastern Alaska that the pack there was
a comparative failure and that not
one-half of the fish were put up that
had been anticipated.
Up to last Wednesday the cannery
pack on the river was fully 30 per cent
above that of last year the same date,
but since then the catch has fallen off
largely in comparison with last year,
when all the canneries were at their
busiest. Until now the pack, except in
a few instances, has fallen behind that
of last year.- Ther is still another
week to run. but there Is now but little
hope of last year's pack being ex
ceeded. CHILD DROWNS AT SALEM

the water or fell off a foot plank. The
child was not missed until half an hour
later. The body was found an hour
after the accident at the place where the
race crosses High street, four blocks
below the campus.

President Homan la In Idaho, attending
a conference, and Mrs. Homan is ill.

ago.
Dr. C. H. Robertson, who was called as
soon as the body was recovered, worked
half an hour trying" to restore heart

equity In the Jennings ranch, and he and
Wood were on the beet of terms.
Mrs. Jennings testified' that she had
known Wood for 15 years and that he had
been residing with 4the family for three
years and more. She says she knows of
no reason why any one should have
killed the man. .
Doctor Probes Wounds.
According to Dr. John R. Baker, who
performed an autopsy, the cut in
Wood's breast was made either by a
dull knife or. some blunt Instrument.
The wound extended almost clear
through the heart."

caused by some blunt instrument which pene
trated the heart, causing Instant death. We
also believe that the wound, waa accidentally

ABERDEENON ROGKS
Lumber Steamer May Sink in
Humboldt Bay.
PUMPS TRYING TO SAVE HER
Strikes Rocks in Entering and Is
Anchored When Attempt to
Beach Her Fails Grave Dan
ger Water May Swami Her.
EUREKA. Cal., Aug. 17. The steam
er Aberdeen, lumber-laden, struck on
the south spit of the Humboldt bar
this morning, and lying at anchor iOO
yards north of the lifesavlng station,
with a donkey-engine pump running
constantly In a desperate attempt to
check th flow of water Into her hull.
At last reports the wter was gaining
and there was grave danger that the
vessel would be swamped if a success
ful effort to beach her Is not made
soon.
The Aberdeen, commanded by Cap
tain Hansen, attempted to cross the bar
this morning during a heavy fog.
When half over the ship struck on the
rocks on the south side of the en
trance. An attempt was made at once
to back the vessel off, but the chief
engineer reported that. If the leaks
developed and she was taken into deep
water, she would sink In half an hour.
Rather than founder. Captain Han
sen attempted to beach her on the
north side of the entrance and had
reached a point' within 200 yards of
the llfesavlng station, when the fires
were drowned and the vessel was
brought to anchor. Divers report much
damage below the water line.
The Aberdeen was beached later to
night and an attempt will be made to
patch the hull up and tow her to San
Francisco for repairs on the drydock.
The entire bottom of the ship seems to
be loosened up.
FOLLOWS FATHER'S STEPS
hcolncidents In Official Lives ol
Sheriff Smith and SonDelaron.
v
ALBANT. Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.)
Delazon C. Smith, grandson and name
sake of Delazon Smith, first United
States Senator from Oregon, was today
sworn in as a Deputy Sheriff for Linn
County. He became 21 years of age
only last month and his appointment
forms an interesting coincidence in that
his father, Delevan S. Smith, present
SherlfT of Linn County, became a Deputy
Sheriff of Linn County the day he be
came .of age in" 1879.
Sheriff Smith, who is known every
where throughout this part of the state
as "Vanny" Smith, Is the only child of
Delazon Smith, one of Oregon's leading
citizens In pioneer days and who with
Joseph Lane was sent In Oregon's first
delegation to the Senate of the United
States. Becoming Deputy Sheriff at the
age of 21 he served three terms as Dep
uty and was then elected Sheriff. At
the expiration of his term he served
three more terms as Deputy Sheriff.
After a period of private life Smith was
again elected Sheriff in 1906 and was re
elected this year, thus being the only
man who was ever chosen to three terms
as Sheriff of Linn County, and the only
SherlfT who has been re-elected to two
continuous terms in this county In 30
years. Like his illustrious father. Smith
is a Democrat.
Delazon C. Smith is the oldest son of
Sheriff Smith and It Is an interesting
fact that he is beginning his career in
the same manner as his father. Another
coincidence In this connection Is the fact
that he was born in the riving rooms
in the second story of the Jail, while
his father was Sheriff and was living
there.
ROAD THREATENS SUIT
Albany Man Refuses to Pay What
He Calls Excessive Freight.
ALBANY. Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.)
Believing he waa being charged an un
just rate by the Southern Pacific Com
pany on three carloads of tan bark.
Albert Sternberg, proprietor of the Al
bany Tanning Company, took a force of
men and under cover of , night broke
Into the cars and took his bark. Now
he Is to be made defendant in a Suit by
the railroad company to collect the
freight charges which Sternberg: claims
are unjust In comparison with other
Linn County ratings.
Last September Sternberg ordered SO
cords of -tan bark, a total of 110,000
pounds, from California, and says the
local freight office of the Southern Pa
cific quoted him a rate of 18 cents a
hundred . pounds. When the bark ar
rived the company demanded 82 cents a
hundred and Sternberg refused to pay
It, claiming he was quoted the lower
rate and that bark was being shipped
from California to Brownsville, 22 miles
farther than Albany, for 18 cents a hun
dred. Being notified that he could not secure
the bark until he paid 82 cents a hun
dred and fearing that the bark would
be stored and demurrage charged, Stern
berg secured three drays and 17 men
and at night opened the cars and carted
away all of his bark. The next day he
tendered the company a payment of 18
cents a hundred on the shipment, but
It was refused.
This occurred last Fall and since then
negotiations over the matter have been
in progress, but Sternberg has stead
fastly refused to pay the amount de
manded or any sum over 18 cents a hun
dred. Now he has received notice that
the company will sue him at once.
