BANDIT COUCHES
HOLDUP VICTIMS
.Self-Confessed Train Robber
Forces Crew to Iden
tify Him.
CASE IS EXTRAORDINARY
After Positively Identifying Others
as Highwaymen. Engineer and
Firemen Cnder Burke's Assur
ances Oianpe Opinions.
Strnager and more novel perhaps than
any previous effort to detect criminals
was that at the County Jail last night,
when William Burke, the confessed
train robher. sat for hours conversing
with members of the crew, offering sug
gestions and Incidents to refreshen and
revive their memories so that they might
Identify him and his alleged confederates
as, the daring trio who held up tTie Portland-Chicago
special. O. R. & N. train
No. 1. last Thursday night.
By his aid Kngineer Donlon. Fireman
Fnn. Messenger Huff and Purser En
dings, of the steamer Bailey Uatzert,
Identified him and also Jack Ifayes. the
alleged leader of the gang. However.
It was only with the aid of the con
fessed robber himself, by hours of ques
tioning and suggestion, that members
of the crew were able to identify either
him or his alleged confederate. Members
of the crew had previously Identified
the three men In the City Jail, who
were arrested by Sergeants Keller and
Klenlan for many holdups In Portland.
Five Men Xow Held.
Another strange feature of the case
la the fact that five men are held and
efforts are being made to have them In
dicted by the grand Jury for the holdup
of the train that waa committed by only
three. But the strangest, perhaps, of all
the strange features of the case is that
Sheriff Stevens and Special Agent Fitz
gerald, of the O. R. & X.. claim to be
able to establish a clear case of guilt
against Burke. Hayes and the third man.
who has not been arrested, even If Burke
had never confessed and none of tne
train crew was able to Identify a single
one of the men.
And If circumstantial evidence may be
regarded as convincing or convicting,
they certainly have exoellent gTounds for
their claims. As a result of the claims
of the police and the Sheriff, with the
railroad company's special'1 agents, the
case has developed Into one where cir
cumstantial evidence, strengthened by
second-hand or rather a second-thought
Identification. Is pitted against actual and
positive visual identification, aided Is
'by clrcumstnces.
So closely has the net of evidence been
woven around Burke, Hayese and the
man still at large, aside from the
previous Identification by the train crew
of the cen in the City Jail, there could
be little doubt of their guilt. The
strongest and most binding mesh perhaps
In the net Ifl the "slicker." or rubler coat,
that was found by Engineer Donlan near
the scene of the crime. Positive evidence
has been secured that the coat wav bor
rowed by Hayes and worn on the night
of the crime, when It was found.
Other Scraps of Evidence. '
Many other incriminating pieces of
evidence and circumstances were brought
out last night. There were present at
this second examination of Burke Sher
iff Stevens, Deputies Beatty and Leon
ard. J. "IV". Rogers, of Salt I-ke City,
division superintendent of the Pacific
Express Company, an employe of the
company from St. Louis and other offi
cers. Fireman Bon, who first attempted to
Identify Burke, failed. Then he and
Burke talked and Bon was quickly re
minded of incidents and circumstances
that he had told no one and had almost
forgotten himself. He was at last con
vinced that Burke was one of the three
men who held up the train. One spe
cial Incident to which his attention was
called by the confessed ribber was his
request for a match.' This. Bon said,
he had never told any one and had prac
tically forgotten himself until It had
ben recalled to his mind.
Engineer Donlan was also reminded of
Instance of Burke's memory of details
was his telling the engineer Ills residence
address. The engineer had suggested
to the masked figure beside him tn the
cab that If the robbers got a big haul they
send him a Chiistmast present. And last
night Burke told him where he lived,
the address to which the engineer had
asked the present to he sent, an incident
lie also had practically forgotten.
H. Eddings. purser ou the steamer
Bailey Gatirt. on which the trio rode
to Hood River from Portland the day
before the -holdup, was also unable to
Identify Burke until various Incidents
liad been cited to refresh his memory.
Then, like the others, he was convinced
that Burke had made the trip with him
on the Wednesday preceding the holdup,
Just as he had said in his confession.
Purser Is Convinced.
"There was a circumstance." said
Kurke. after the purser and he had talked
for several moments, "that I thought
was unusual on the trip and one that I
remembered. The Gatxert ran alongside
a steamer In distress and pumped water
out of her for an hour or more."
Then Purser Eddings remembered the
fact that the Gatiert had aided the
steamer Dalles City, which had sunk In
shallow water and the Gatzert had
pumped the water out of her for an hour
or more. XunSerous other incidents such
an these suggested by Burke convinced
the purser.
Xor was Vanderhoof, who was riding
as a tramp on the engine, when the hold
. up occurred, able to Identify Burke, until
the latter suggested numerous incidents
and circumstances In connection with the
wait for the train at Hood River and the
trip towards Portland. Messenger Hun
was also able to Identify the confessed
robber after numerous incidents had been
cited.
Hayes was also Interrogated again last
night. He was shown a brown coat, pair
of corduroy trousers, blue sweater and
negligee shirt, the kind of garments he
said he wore Thursday night. He readily
identified . the coat and trousers as bis
own. but dented ownership of teh other
articles. The garments were found near
the scene of the hold-up soon after the
crime and. according to Burwe's con
fession, were discarded by Hayes.
Believe Hays ex-Convict,
Efforts were made to induce him to
attire himself In these garments, so the
train crew could see him in them, but
this he flatly refused to do. Hayes Is a
close reader of the newspapers and says
The Oregonlan made a mistake In Tues
day morning's issue when It said he had
served time In Folsom. He says he
never served In Folsom. but officers who
are trying to get his record say he
served both In the Oregon and Montana,
i.cnltentlarle under a different name.
The officers yesterday failed to find
the revolvers, garments and other arti
cles which Burke, in his confession, said
had been hidden near the tracks as the
robbers approached the city. It Is be
lieved that the suspect still at large vis
ited the "plant" after the arrest of the
other two and removed the articles.
FALSE COLON CAUSES FALL
Demented Centralla Youth Opens Vp
Recruiting Station.
( EXTRAMA. Wash.. Dec. 22. (Special.)
Harry Gibson, a cook at the Woshington
Hotel, of this city, a few days ago ar
rayed himself In the uniform of an artil
lery offirer and hung from the window
of "his room a United States flag, adver
tising himself as a recruiting officer for
the Government.
Lieutenant J. M. Kelso, recruiting of
ficer, stationed at Portland, hearing of the
newly established office here, came up
on a totirf Investigation. Obtaining the
reinforcement of a member of the police
force, he visited the hotel. The result
was that Gibson and his flag went to
the police station In company with Lieu
tenant Kelso. Marshal Clark. In the ab
sence of the Police Judge, held a court of
Inquiry. Gibson had letters from various
officers and presented his side of the
case In good form. Kelso was not in uni
form and had failed to bring papers to
show his authority, so Marshal Clark was
puzzled for a while as to w.ilch man was
the real officer. However. Kelso re
membered that he had a few acquaint
ances here, and hustled them up to the
police office. The assertions of these men
gave Marshal Clark a bias In favor of
Kelso.
Upon Investigation it was found that
Gibson could not name any of the .mem
bers, of the company to which he claimed
to belong which was the same on that
Kelso had commanded in the Philippines.
Jt developed that Gibson i.ad received
three wounds while in service which had
affected his mind. He had several letters
from offlc-ers and imagined that he had
authority to recruit for Uncle Sam. He
was not found guilty of any Intentional
wrong and allowed to fold up his flag
and depart In peace. He has a mother In
Tacoma.

great inroads in the consignment of 300,

quests for consignments of stamps came ;
from out-of-town merchants, two large j
orders being sent to Kelso, Wash., and
one to Shaniko. Or.
The public and private schools in the '
city have done much to promote the sales j
of the stamps. In each instance, teach
ers and pupils have co-operated in the
work, and a goodly sum has been real
ized in this way. At the Sellwood school
the first consignment of OoO was quickly
disposed of. and a second order for 1000
stamps sent In. Today a booth has been
installed In the Wells-Fargo building and
a uniformed nurse Is stationed at the
booth In the Chamb-r of Commerce,
where the public will bs given an oppor
tunity to make purchases of stamps. ' Any

CARNIVAL DRAWS TOURISTS
HALF-DOZEN EASTERN' PARTIES
COMING TO HOSE FESTIVAL.
Bodon Party Scheduled for Next
June Will Include 300 Resi
dents of Hub.
In a communication received yesterday
from the directors of one of the largest
tourists agencies tn the East, the Port
land Rose Festival Association was as
sured that from four to six tourist parties
from the East would be here during the
week of the celebration next June. One
of the parties scheduled for the Pacific
Northwest trip will come from Boston,
another from Xew York, a third from
Brooklyn, while the fourth will be made
up of pleasure seekers from Philadelphia
and Eastern Pennsylvania points.
: Requests were made for detailed liter
ature as to the plans and programme for
the week of festivities in this city. It
was also asked as to what connections
there were between Portland and Seattle
with a list of the dales and attractions
for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacifle Exposition
which will open at Seattle the week be
fore the festival begins here.
Particular interest centers in the crowd
of 300 which will be gathered together for
the Far Western trip from Boston, as It
is intended to Include In the personnel a
coterie of wealthy capitalists who have
been out to this country before and who
have important industrial interests In this
part of the country. This excursion out
fit will embrace not only the moneyed
men of the New England "Hub," but
others who are looking for attractive
schemes of investment.
The New York crowd, which is being
made up, even at this early date. It ap
pears, are pure pleasure seekers who de
sire to interest themselves in a propo
sition on the Pacific Slope where they
may be able to Invest in beach resorts
that will bring in oomfortable incomes.
It has developed that the Hill lines,
which have shown great activity in boom
ing the festival, have undertaken nego
tiations with Eastern capitalists for the
opening of a series of Summer hotels on
the Oregon Coast, and that the rail
roads will play a prominent part in the
boosting of the plans of the tourist
companies.
Within the last few days requests have
been received by the general passenger
departments of both the Hill and Harri
man lines In this territory, from the At
lantic seaboard, for an outline of the
best itinerary for pleasure seekers who are
destined for the Pacific Northwest during
the coming Summer. The importance of
this exploitation work as a help for this
territorjr has been recognized by the
transcontinental railroads centering here
and within a few days all the literature
that is available will be supplied the
tourist promoters.
At the 'meeting of the North Albina
Rose Culture Club, held Monday night,
plans were devised for a systematic cru
sade throughout the entire district, Vhich
has for its object the planting of roses
in every dooryard in that region. The
women, who have shown more Interest
than the men In this movement, will make
personal canvass among the residents
with a view of making the official "Rose
planting Day." next February 22, the oc
casion for the setting out of roses in
that portion of the city. They are even
advocating the proposition of giving up

the general circulation. Should one find
lodgment in a valve of the heart the result
might be instant death, or should it be car
ried to the brain, general paralysis would
follow.
