and signed by Johnson, was read by
neoutv Sheriff Leonard, of roruana.

du hud called Johnson a vile name
and had told him that he would kill
him. Johnson, according; to hla story,
then shot Perdue with the rifle he had
In hla nossesslon.
Cosper was oiw of the party of eight
who went with Johnson and Perdue
into the timber above Buxton on June
30, to locate on timber lands, Johnson
being; the locator, swore that the ring;
exhibited in Court was worn oy i'er-
due; that the watch was Perdue's. and
that during; the trip Johnson and Per
due were the best of friends. Cosper
left the party after Fischer did. on
the morning; of July 2. the others of
the party leaving in the arternoon.
Cosper ! Corroborated.
Parks, who corroborated Cosper on
many thing's, loaned Johnson a re
volver before leaving-. This wltners i
the one who made Johnson return him
some money after the slayer had re
turned to Portland subsequent to kill
ing- Perdue
Charles Webcrg. a resident near
Timber, swears that he saw Johnson
and Perdue the day before the murder,
going; toward the Burgholzer cabin
where the killing- took place. Two
boys. Delmar Davis and William Mc
Pherscn. testified that they sew Per
due traveling toward Buxton alone the
next day. This was In the morning-.
Sheriff Hancock corroborated th
Johnson confession and sw6re thai the
defendant Identified the watch and
and purse which belonged to Perdue

out of the window of a lodging-house

Iron Instrument of Death.
The Sheriff swore that he brought
Into the county seat the Iron which is
yet believed to be the instrument with
which Perdne waa slain, a piece of
wagon tire about 30 Inches In length,
made Into a falling board support at
the Burgholxer cabin, and that It waa
covered with hair and congealed blood.
Dr. Hlnes. of Forest Grove, and Dr.
F. A. Bailey, of Hillsboro. the physi
cians who examined the skull for the
state, stated that In their opinion no
bullet would could cause the severe
fracture at the base of the skull. There
Is a portion of the skull gone and the
physirians think the break must have
been very extensive, more than pos
sibly could have been made with a
bullet.
Prisoner Insists lie Used Gun.
The Idea of the state seems to be
that Perdue waa killed by a blow on
the head and that he was not shot.
On this Important theory the matter
cf cor.vlctlon or acquittal will hinge, as
Johnson has all along maintained that
he shot and that the shooting win In
self-defense, although he admits rob
bing the dead man.
The defense will begin tomorrow
The trial was well attended today.
HEINZE WINS LAND SUIT
Defeats Canadian Pacific in Effort
to Divide Valuable Holding.
VANCOUVER, B. C. Dec. 11. (Spe
cial.) F. Augustus Heinze, the Butte
millionaire, won a signal victory In the
full court of appeals here this after
noon over Sir Thomas fcliaughnessy,
president of the Canadian Pacific. The
suit relates to the division of 800.000
acres of lind embraced In a provincial
government grant of 15 years ago to
the Columbia & Western Railway. The
railway, then owned by Heinze. was
taken over by the Canadian Pacific
Railroad. The land grant, now worth
millions of dollars, was retained
equally by the parties to the deal. The
Canadian Pacific Railroad two years
ago brought suit to compel the Butte
mining man to make a selection of his
undivided half interest, which will then
become taxable. At the trial the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad won. but today's
appeal reversed this decision.
The Canadian Pacific Railroad will
undoubtedly carry the case to the law
lords of teh Privy Council. In dwllv
erlng Judgment today the Chief Justice
said: "Jt lias been suggested that
Heinze is seeking to dodge taxation.
Suppose that be so. that is a matter
between the crown and Heinze."
Helnze's counsel In British Columbia
is W. J. Bowser. Attorney-General.

SHAW RAPS SOCIALISTS
Kx-fcecrotarj of Treasury Alarmed
at Trend of 'ew Cult.
NEW YORK, rc 31. Speaking: before
a fia.ther.ng- of alumni of Dickinson Col
lege last night, JetUie M. Shaw, ex
Scretary tf the Trea.-ury, appealed to
the college man to save the country
from Sociaiiam. He aaid:
I am alarmed at the trend toward Social
ism fn thi country today. If there Ik any
power in this country to stem It. it ouKht
to be the trained minds of collegre men.
But four out of five commencement day
orations ar purely Boda.Htic. I have met
many of the teachem of norlolosry in our
school and universities. With few excep
tions these Leat-hers are Socialists, as you
can find by a few moments conversation
with them, and the few exceptions are
Anarchists.
I want to mt to you preachers assembled
here that unfortunately there is a good
deal of Socialism beina; taught these days
from the putplt. The Chautauqua is also
full of it; if you can mention a Chautau
qna popular speaker m ho is not talking;
and .teaching socialism, I will be obliged
for his name.
The public libraries are full of it. The
trend of the newspapers is toward Social
ism and I repeat, the trend la dangerous to
this country.
Whenever we go out to teach that men
must succeed equally, regard! ess of Apti
tude, we are pointing towards the rocks of
a Nation.

of the finish the three leading teams in
the six-day bicycle race tot Madison
Square Garden were pedalling steadily
along tonight, more than six miles ahead
of the best mark previously set in these
annual contests of endurance and speed.
Doggedly keeping up the grind, five other
teams were closely following, and like
their better placed contestants, finding
a reserve of energy to lead an occasional
sprint In an endeavor to steal a lap.
Best placed of all the trailers, Walthour
and Root, who are but a lap behind the
leaders, tried all through the early morn
ing hours and twice during the after
noon to improve their position. Each
time they failed. One of their sprints
resulted in a bad spill. Root, Garvin, De
mara and Vanonl falling in & heap on
the track.
Galvin waa the only one who was not
able to resume. He was carried to his
headquarters, but, after vigorous treat
ment, was back- in the arena, ready to
relieve hi partner, Wiley.
