Patriot Attorney Declares There
Will He Prompt Ac-thin In In
dictment anil Prosecution
of Murderer Finch.
That Attorney Ralph B. Fisher, who
vaji killed in his office Saturday after
noon bv Attorney James A. Finch, was
probably the vl fim of a foul conspiracy,
is the assertion of detectives working on
the case. From clew discovered, yesler
dar, they declare that others beside Finch
vera involved In the threats and hound
ing of the murdered attorney which pre
ceded his assassination, from motives of
revenge.
Three days before his death the attor
ney made a statement to his brother. C.
ML K"her. in which he charted that a
certain lawyer was responsible for the
threats and culls over the telephcme and
that the came person was also the au
thor of the numerous anonymous written
threats he had received through the mails.
Told Brother of Threats.
"My brother told me that lie had in
vestigated the matter of the telephone
cal'M and the written threats and that the
reeult of hi investigation had convinced
him that he knew who was responsible."
said C F. Fie her yesterday. "At toe
ame time my brother told me that the
person he suspected was a dangerous man
and that he feared this enemy."
Another startling development yesterday
was the line of Investigation that Is to be
pursued by the officiate. It Is known that
certain officials, who will he connected
with the prosecution of the case, are
working on the theory that Fisher was the
victim of a conspiracy and are guarding
carefully various pieces of evidence they
have In their possession.
C. Evert Baker, senior memlwr of the
law firm of which the murdered attorney
wan Junior member. Is convinced that Mr.
Fisher's death was the result of a con
spiracy. Relatives of the dead man and
several other attorneys who are familiar
with the circumstances that preceded the
tragedy also expressed the belief that the
hooting wax the result of a plot.
Trial Will Be Prompt.
Proceeding against the murderer will
begin at once. The case will be presented
to the grand Jury without delay, and an
Indictment, according to District Attorney
Cameron, will be returned Immediately.
Kvery effort will be made by Mr. Cam
eron to have the case tried as soon as
possible.
I think It l better for the community
and for everybody concerned that the case
he tried an soon as possible." said Mr.
Cameron yesterday. "Finch didn't ap
pear to be drunk, at least not noticeably
so. when I talked with him just after the
shooting. I don t know of anything that
will delay us. and the case will be prose
cuted as rapidly and as vigorously as pos
sible. 1 think the case can be tried in
December or January."
Already various lawyers have agreed to
conduct the defense of the murderer.
Those selected for that task are Attorneys
O. H. Plggott, C F. I-nrd and Judge W.
W. Holcomb. Mr. Plggott yesterday de
clined to state the line of defense, though
It Wt generally believed that efforts will b
made to prove that Finch was not respon
sible for his acts a a result either of
drugs or liquor, or else was demented.
Mrs. Finch fJrently Shocked.
Mrs. May Finch, the two weeks- bride
of the assatin. is greatly distressed as
the result of the tragedy, according to
her brother. William Petty. She declined
to be seen ystrday at her home, 22i Co
lumbia street.
"My sister made every effort to see her
husband Saturday night." Petty declared.
She finally succeeded, after repeated vis
its to the County Jail, but was permitted
to reman with him for only half an
hour."
It is llk'-ly that the Bar Association may
appoint a special prosecutor to assist Dis
trict Attorney Cameron In the case
against the murderer. However, such ac
tion will depend entirely upon the wishes
of the Diftrict Attorney, and unless le
requesa tiiat the appointment be made,
the B-r Association will take no part in
the prosecution.
Arrangem-nts for the funeral of the
murdered barrister have been partially
completed. The services will be held at
16.0'olock tomorrow morning ut the West
mins'ar Presbyterian Church, according
to present arrangements. Iowever, thcy
may be delayed until Wednesday in order
to permit out-of-town relutives to at
tend. Would Have Joined Church.
Th- services will be held in the church
at which air. K:-;her would have become
a member yesterday had he lived. He
bad a letter from another church and had
decided to become a member of the West
minster Church yesterday. Interment will
take place In Kiverview Cemetery.
There was a pathetic scone at the
morgue yesterday when the widow called
t. view the ro:nalns of her late husband.
She was acco-npanled bv several close
relatives, but was permitted to remain
only a brief time. During the remainder
of the day she was confined to her bed.
completely prostrated by her grief and
the sudden shock of the tragedy.
It Is said that the dead attorney carried
a very small amount of insurance, though
ills brothers are not positive of tills. He
ts survived by a widow, a baby boy one
and one-half years old. three brothers
and five sisters. The brothers are A. Ij.

Those That Were Prosecuted.
After Mr. Fisher was made prosecutor of
tlie Grievance Committee of the Oregon
State Bar Association lie conducted the
prosecutions against Attorneys J. A.
Finch, John F. Watts. H. C. King. Marion
R. Itigis. J. H. Hitching." and others. He
is said to have Incurred the bitter liatred
of at least certain ones of this number.
Attorney King recently made a public
assault upon Deputy City Attorney Frank
Grant as a result of the charges that
were prosecuted by the Bar Association.
The anonymous letters that were re
ceived by Mr. Fisher before his assassi
nation will. It is said, play an Important
part in tlie court proceedings that are to '
follow. l neir aimiorsuip. n a--iniiiiri,
will, it is said, have considerable effect
in establishing the details of the conspir
acy that was hatched and of which
Fisher was the victim.
As an evidence of Attorney Fisher's
good will toward his slayer. John F. I
gMi. of the local Bar Association, said

" " ; ' J j
t MRU, RALPH B. FISHER AU BABV.
yesterday that Mr. Fisher had on several
occasions expressed his satisfaction at
the manner in which Finch had acted.
Said Mr. Ljogan:
"I was tlie referee appointed to deal
Willi these disbarment cases. I only
heard those against Kins and Watts. I
had Mr. Fisher appointed in this Finch
case. Ho had told me that he was very
much pleased at the way Finch had
acted and felt -very kindly toward him.
We were commiserating each other only
the other day on the number of evenings
we were obliged to give up to this work.
Mr. Fisher then said that he was much
gratified that Finch had been ' manful
enough to confess and plead guilty, and
that he was going to do what he couid
for the man. Mr. Fisher had also spoken
to me regarding the anonymous letters.
He said! i.e didn't care about the letters,
what ha wanted to find out was who was
sending tliem."
Henry Vor. Groenewald. superintendent
of the Portland Flnkerton Detective
Agency, declares that the statement of
Finch In an interview published yester
day, that he (Von Groenewald) had
offered Finch $500 to induce a prisoner
to return stolen goods. Is absolutely false.

FINCH'SRECORD BAD
Had Reputation at Albany of
Being Vindictive.
RELENTLESS TO ENEMIES
In Politics Jle Was KccoBiilM-d as
Genius, but Activity hi This
Line Won Him but Little
Personal Reward.
AIBAXT, ' Or., Nov. 29. (Special.) No
.one thin has produced such a sensation
in this city in many years as the kllling
of Ralph B. Fisher by James A. Finch.
Everybody In Albany knows "Jim" Finch
and nothing else has been discussed here
since the killing. Agencies of Portland
papers have been unable to supply the de
mand for copies.
Finch's enemies there are many of
them in Albanj' assert that it is no sur
prise that he has ended his meteoric
career this way. But to his friends it is
a distinct shock to find him In the seat
of a murderer.
Murderer Is Vindictive.
There is probably no more vindictive
man in the world than Finch. He pur
sued his enemies relentlessly. Most of
his enmities were incurred in politics, and
he not only waged an unending political
warfare, but carried the fight into busi
ness and even .social relations. Finch
was brilliant In politics; he was a genius
in planning a campaign to win a nomina
tion for a friend or to defeat an enemy,
and In both of these fields of endeavor
he was highly successful. But his vin
dictiveness made him so many bitter ene
mies that his political activity won him
no persona rewards. His political meth
ods were not always above criticism, it Is
said, and this fact did not aid his repu
tation. But in spite of his personal stand
ing. Finch's great ability as a manipu
lator' made him a man of power in the
politics of Linn County for many years.
Finch's Previous Gun Plays.
Since the killing of Fisher, different
stories of "gun-plays" in which Finch
figured here are being discussed on the
streets of Albany. None of them were
regarded as serious at the time, how
ever, though it Ls averred he started into
a law office here one night in a political
campaign, with a gun in his hand, to
shoot a man, and was stopped at the
very door of the office by friends, who
overpowered him in a struggle and took
the weapon away from him.
With all his hatred for his enemies and
with all his activity in trying to over
throw them, Finch never showed a dis
position to do them bodily injury when
planning their defeat. But on some occa
sions, when drinking heavily, he would
imagine himself unjustly persecuted and
would cry bitterly for hours. Then it
was, his friends say, when he was really
dangerous. He drank a great deal here,
but there "tearful drunks" came only at
rare Intervals, and men kept away from
him then. He would work himself up to
a frenzy brooding over Imagined wrongs.
Finch was temperamentally "high
strung" and capable of a great deal of
feeling. But he was not regarded as dan
gerous here, though he sometimes made
threats when In one of his brooding drink
ing spells.
Finch always carried a gun when he
lived in Albany, and made no secret of
it. He often remarked, though, that he
did it merelj for protection. He realized
that he had scores of bitter enemies and
said he might need it some time. But
his dominant Idea In those conversations
always appeared to be self-defense rather
than murder.
Good Shot With Any Weapon.
Finch was also a good shot with any
kind of a weapon. He was a member of
the local company of the Oregon Na
tional Guard for years. He was one of
the best shots with a rifle in the com
pany, notwithstanding it was necessary
for him to wear eye-glasses when shoot
ing, and he participated successfully in
a number of rifle tournaments. When
the Spanish-American War broke out.
Finch was a sergeant in the local com
pany and enlisted in the Second Oregon
for service In the war, but was rejected
on account of his defective sight. When
Company G, Fourth Infantry, was organ
ized here after the war. Finch again en
listed and was appointed second corpo
ral, but reused the stripes and always
drilled as a private. He was active in the
civil government of the company, how
ever, and managed many military balls
and other entertainments given by the
company.
The incarceration of James A. Finch in
a cell at the Multnomah County Jail
swells the number of men now inmates
of that Institution and who are also
charged with murder in various degrees
to 12. Jailer "Dad" Hunter is much re
lieved because the responsibility for their
custody, which until very recently rested
on his shoulders alone, is now shared by
another. The appointment of Night Jailer
Robert Phillips two weeks ago has lifted
a great load off the shoulders of Hunter,
for tha responsibility of maintaining a
strict watch over such a number of men
charged with capital crimes was almost
too much for even a man of his physique.
In addition to Finch, Matt and John
Johnson, father and son; Caspar BHck
ensdorffer. Antonio Ptarsso, Harry Daly.
Jack La Rose, Young Gee, Lum Woon,
Kdward Hugh Martin, Carl Logsden and
William Barkley, the latter two being
Federal prisoners, are guests of the coun
ty institution on murder charges.
Of the above-named prisoners, the case
of Caspar Blickensdorffer Is looked upon
as . most pathetic. The old man is a
bachelor and occupied a woodcutters'
shack with his bosom friend, Charles Heg
burn, near Lents. One night last Septem
ber Bllckendorffer quarreled with Heg
burn over a set of harness and during the
altercation struck his friend over the
head with a piece of wood, killing him in
stantly. Both men had been drinking,
and Blickensdorffer had no realization of
his act until he recovered from the effects
of the liquor in the County Jail the next
day. Since then his expressions of re
gret at his hasty action have been so
pitiful that the county authorities sym
pathize with him In his plight.
Johnson Kills Saloon Man.
The Johnsons, father and eon, are fac
ing a rharge of murdering Fred Hatch,
formerly a saloonkeeper at Twenty-first
and Sherlock streets, on the night of Sep
tember 10. Matt Johneon, the elder, had
been playing cards in the saloon and be
came involved in a dispute with one of
the patrons of tlie place. Hatch took Is
sue with him on the subject, and during
the quarrel both men became vitupera
tive. Matt Johnson ordered his son, John
Johnson, who was with him at the time,
to go to his home and bring his revolver.
The younger Johnson obeyed his parent,
and, on handing the weapon over, wit
nessed his father shoot the saloonman
down in cold blood. Both Johnsons are
charged with murder in the first degree,
the son being held as much to blame as
the parent, for ho aided and abetted tha
murder.
Toung Gee and Lum Woon, Chinese, are
held on a charge of murder in the first
degree, growing out of the killing of Le
Dai Huey, a wealthy Chinese merchant,
who was murdered on the porch of his
home at Fourth and Ash streets last Sum
mer. The shooting grew out of high
binder plots.
Jack La Rose, the gaspipe thug, who
was convicted of murder in the third de
gree on a compromise verdict, ls await
ing the expiration of the time allowed
for application for a new trial. He stands
convicted of having murdered Hyman
Neuman, a pawnbroker on North Third
street. La Rose was arrested after hav
ing assaulted a Chinese tailor a few days
after tho Neuman murder, and the cir
cumstances surrounding both assaults
seemed to indicate that the same man
perpetrated both. I -a Rose maintains that
he is innocent of the Neuman affair, and
his attorneys are now preparing to ap
peal the case.
Martin Awaits Appeal.
The revolting murder of Nathan Wolff
on Slay 1, and the subsequent arrest of
Edward Hugh Martin as the murderer has
been exploited fully during the recent
trial of tho accused. Martin is awaiting
the action of his attorneys, who have yet
a few days in which to file an appeal in
the event that such action is decided
upon. He, like La Rose, was convicted
of manslaughter, and for a time seemed
resigned to bis fate. Martin is a victim
of the morphine habit and his conviction
was due to a combination of circumstan
tial evidence, together with his inability
to explain satisfactorily his actions on
the night of the murder.
Tony Ptarsso, a young Italian laborer,
is charged with murder in the first de
gree for having shot and killed an elderly
Italian during a quarrel following the
celebration of a wedding anniversary on
the Patton road. According to the story
related to the police, Ptarsso refused to
go home with the man who later proved
his victim, and in a quarrel which en
sued he pulled a revolver and shot the
man in the stomach, resulting in his
death a few hours later. Ftansso's trial
has been set for December 10, and it is
understood that he will plead self-defense.
Daly Waits for Trial.
Harry Daly, who killed Harry Kenny,
his former employer, on the night of No
vember IB, has not yet been brought to
trial. Daly, who is & cripple, had been
discharged from the employ of Kenny,
and on the night In question visited the
resort at Sixth and Ankeny streets and
engaged in a quarrel with the proprietor.
Kenny refused to take film back into his
employ, and refused to have any more to
do with him. At this Daly became an
gered and, pulling out a revolver, threat
ened to shoot Kenny, who dared him to
do. so. Daly finally pulled the trigger,
and the builet penetrated Kenny's left
shoulder, and, ranging downward, caused
internal hemorrhages which resulted in
the death of the saloonman five, hours
later.
James A. Finch, who is charged with
the cowardly murder of Attorney Ralph
B. Fisher Saturday, spent his first night
in the County Jail somewhat uncomfort
ably; at least such was his appearance
when seen yesterday morning. He ap
peared tired and his features were wan
and drawn, as though his rest had been
disturbed. When seen he . was playing
cards with other prisoners, and seemed
cheerful, although he absolutely refused
to discuss his case.
The latest addition to murderers' row
was visited yesterday morning by his
wife, a bride of a week ago, but even to
her he maintained that he knew nothing
of Saturday afternoon's affair. The other
two murderers, William Barkley and Carl
Logsden, are Federal prisoners charged
with murders committed on Government
reservations. The former ls charged with
the brutal murder of an Indian on the
Silctz reservation, whose body he cut to
pieces. Logsden killed a companion in a
dispute over a claim.
