MAY END MAT GAME HERE Affidavit Is in Line With Knmors That Hare Already Caused Scandal in Portland Wrestling Matches. Sworn confession that he acted a go-between for Eddie O'Connell, wrest ling Intrf T-iirtrvr of the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club, and Heinrich. the Spokane wrestler who lately lost to O'Connell. was made at the iMstnct At torney's office yesterday by Andrew Xfin. lnr.nl Trrpntler known as "Kid Parker." The whole affair will likely be threshed out by the county prana jury within the next few days. This bit of color to the scandal that has remained !n rumor form until the present time. Is likely to kill the wrestling game here it Is feared. One hundred dollars was the sum the Multnomah Club wrestler paid Heinrich to lay down, according to Miller. And he paid this sum through Miller, the cal being effected on the street on Heln rich's written offer. It Is alleged. Declares Bribe Was Offered. As a result of his barefaced admission and of the additional fact that he said he had been offered t&Q not to go before the grand Jury, Miller was taken into custody, yesterday morning, by Deputy Constable Kiernan. "While at the Con stable's office. Miller was telling of the crookedness of the wrestling game, a thing which already had been generally hinted at. but he was not Intent on bring ing the matter up officially. The officer at once placed him under arrest and took, him before Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald. Inasmuch as a frame-up of that sort might constitute a breach of the law. It was thought best to get Mil ler's affidavit. He demurred at first at being haled before the District Attorney but his objection was not heeded. Ushered before Mr. Fitzgerald. Miller went Into the affair In detail. He said that previous to the match between O'Connell and Heinrich, which occurred December 3. at Merrill's hall, a letter was received from Heinrich offering to "lay down" If paid J100 In addition to the amount he was to receive, for appearing. Miller said that O'Connell,- on receiving the letter, called on him and asked his advice. Heinrich offered to take the first fall and lose the second and third but O'Connell suggested it might be better to win the first and third faUs and lose one Jn between. Say 'Richards Held Money. The J100 was then turned over to Miller, so he says, and as O'Connell was afraid he might appropriate it to his own use, K. Richards was designated as custodian of the coin. Miller said he gave the money Into Richards' keeping to be turned over to Heinrich after the Spo kane man had "earned" It by throwing the match. Richards denies knowledge of any such transaction, saying that while he handled tlOO for Miller it was placed as wager money and had nothing to do with anything crooked. Opinion is divided as to the truth of what Miller says. District Attorney Cam eron takes no stock In the tale and says so. But the fact remains that Heinrich wrote a letter offering to throw the ..,, tvi. !. ttpr havinsr been exhibited to reliable parties. There is no denial as to the letter. And tt Is also a fact that O'Connell won the first and third falls and that the second fall looked very much like a throw-off. Miller was released from custody on his own recognizance. Just when he will be called before the grand Jury has not been determined. O'COWEXrli CRIES FAKER" Declares Gang in Portland Is Jeal ous and! Trying to "Get" Him. SPOKANE. Wash., FeD. 26. (Spe cial.)
