CIRCULATOR TRIES TO SHIFT BLAME Henry Smith Denies Swearing to Forged Sheets of Goth enburg Petition. GRAND JURY WILL PROBE Statement Reflects on McAllister, .but Lawyer Asserts He Tore Vp List of Names That Were Known to Be Fraudulent. Developments of a most unusual and Unexpected order may follow the arrest yesterday forenoon of Henry Smith, alias Jlu Ross, one of the circulators of the forged and badly bungled Gothenburg pe tition. Smith, after being- arrested on a tentative charge, pending the drawing up of an Information charging forgery, proffered a sworn statement to the effect that he had never sworn to the partic ular sheet of the petition on which the arrest was made. That the sheet was rejected by E. S. J. McAllister, who is one of those promot ing the Gothenburg Association, which 1ms to concentrate the privilege of sell ing liquor, was the sworn statement of Fmlth. He averred that Mr. McAllister told him explicitly that the sheet was riddled with forgery and accordingly that he would receive nothing for It. So he didn't swear to the sheet. Torn Vp. Says Attorney. And yet several sheets signed by Smith under the name of Du Ross are sworn to by the prisoner, the oath showing the signature of Mr. McAllister. One of these sheets, bearing the forged signa ture of Paul Wessinger. is pointed out t- Smith as the exact one that he was refused payment on. "It was not that one. but another, and I tore It up right In the fellow's presence." explained Mr. McAllister. Nevertheless, the whole matter is to te taken up right away by the grand Jury. No matter from what standpoint the miestion Is looked at, evidences of Jobbery crop out In abundance, say offi cials of the District Attorney's office. And if those who hired and directed the small army of forgers who got the peti tion up were unconscious of what was going on their laxity of vigilance was amazing, it is added. For some days the police have been looking for the man Smith. Rank for geries were found on all the sheets put In by him. He has managed to keep out of sight of the local detectives, who are not any too alert at best. Finally two of them found him on the street yester day morning. The fellow was drunk, a fact that attracted their attention to him. Held on Drunkenness Charge. Tracking a warrant from the District Attorney's office. the officers took nlm in for drunkenness. That charge Is sufficient to hold him until an oppor tunity Is at hand for the preparation of an indictment. Tt was when he was thrown In a cell and apprised of the nature of the real charges against him that Smith got mad and said he would tell what he knew. He denounced his former employer in bitter terms, saying that he not only had been beaten out of the wages due him. but had been made the victim of an other's shortcomings. "r was working for the . Gothenburg people for several days," said he. "I took them in a sheet. Mr. McAllister told me It wasn't any good, and said that the people on It were not voters. I told him I couldn't help that, as the people who signed all claimed to be voters, and I did the best I could."' "Well, he refused to pay me for it. There was five dollars due, and I needed the money, but I got nothing. He kept the sheet and I left. I don't see how they can hold me now, for I never swore to that sheet. I have had chances to lavc town, and it isn't likely I would have remained here if there was any thin: like that against me. If Mr. Mc Allister took that sheet and inserted It In the petition after 1 left that's his affair. He knows I didn't swear to it. If he swore me, as his signature shows, then he must have done it by the 'absent treatment' process." Checkers Were Employed. That checkers were at work to see forgers didn't get to work for the Gothen burg promoters was the statement made later by Mr. McAllister. These checkers found out that Smith or Du Ross was doing crooked work and accordingly dis missed him. Just how several scores of forgeries came to be overlooked was not fully explained. "This man Du Ross came to my office In response to an advertisement for pe tition circulators." said Mr. McAllister In discussing the man's accusations. The first day he worked he got 30 or 40 names. I paid him then and there. The second day he got 100. for which he was paid. The next day he got 100 more, and as 1 was suspicious of him by that time I sent O. L. Smith, of our working force, out to check up on him. The checker hadn't reported by the time Du Hose came in with the next 100. so I paid him for those. The next day, how ever, I had the report from the checker, and when Du Ross handed me 100 addi tional names I told htm what we had found out. tore his list up and threw it Into the waste basket. Those are the facts In the case. "Just what sheet Mr. Wessinger's name was on I don't know, as I didn't check the sheets over at any time myself. I do know that Du Ross personally swore to the sheets he was paid for and which went on the petition." HOMEOPATHISTS TO MEET State tkJClety Will Hold Convention In Portland Nest Tuesday.

LETTERS TOO SHOCKING SUSS tXJCILE DE WAR'S NOTES HELD FOR JURY. Officials Believe Malice Prompted Girl to Write Epistles ot Slander on Friends. Because of their unprintable nature Federal officials decline to discuss the details of the letters written by Miss Lucille Dewar. and which resulted in her arrest Wednesday for improper use of the mails. They are equally reti cent about revealing the names of the respectable young- -women whose signa tures were forged to the lascivious mis sives, as well as the Identity of the young men to whom, in many instances these communications were addressed." They are reservins aB of the informa tion they have gathered for presentation to the next Federal grand jury, when the case against the young woman will be investigated. Malice is believed by the authorities to be the motive which actuated Miss Dewar in composing the letters, a few of which were extremely licentious. It was first suspected that the letters were sent for the express purpose of break ing up matches between the young friends of Miss Dewar. This suspicion is not supported, however, by the fact, which show that several of the letters were written to the parents of the girls, while one was addressed to a local dress maker. Between 15 and 20 of the forged let ters have been turned over to the postal authorities. Miss Dewar having admitted the authorship of them. all. Just how many more she may have written and mailed can only be guessed, as the young woman refuses to tell either how many such letters she wrote or why she wrote them. Probably the most objectionable of the letters delivered to the Federal officials was that apparently elgned by Miss Edith Sheeny, daughter of James Sheehy. of 413 East Tenth street North, and addressed to Gerald Foster, a young man of this city. Miss Dewar admits she forged the signature of Miss Sheehy to this letter, which contained a most decidedly Improper proposal. Other girl friends of the prolific letter-writer whose signatures were forged to some of the letters were Misses Gertrude Kelly and May Cronln. It Is also learned that Mies Dewar wrote several letters to the parents of her girl acquaintances, particularly in the Irvington district, in which, represent ing herself as a mutual friend of the family and signing anonymous names, ehe cautioned the parents against per mitting their daughters to associate with certain young men. whose names were enumerated. Invariably these letters re cited improper conduct on the part of the girls while absent from their homes, and at times even when attending so cial gatherings at the homes of their acquaintances. Forging the name of another woman. Miss Dewar at another time sent a let ter to Miss M. E. Shogren, a dressmaker in which she insisted that Miss Shogren should dispense with the services of a young girl employed In her establish ment. In this letter Miss Dewar pre tended to be a close friend of the girl's family. She advised Miss . Shogren to dismiss the apprentice promptly, and per mit her to return to her home, where, the letter averred, she belonged. Ony a few of the letters written by Miss Dewar and recovered by the au thorities were of a licentious character. With the exception of those worse than unprintable, the author of the letters always manifested great concern for the moral welfare of her girl friends whose names were used.. From a review of the score of letters in their possession the Federal authorities are convinced the missives could be the product only of a diseased mind. Get a. home at Gregory Heights.

INDIAN SLAYER ON TRIAL Self-Defense Will Be Plea of Will iam Barkley, " Who- Killed Sid Jacobs, White Man, on Klamath Reservation. On his return from Montana, Federal Judge Bean yesterday succeeded Judge Wolverton. temporarily, as presiding: Judge of the United States Court and will hear pending criminal cases. This will give Judge Wolverton an opportunity to prepare decisions in several important cases which he has under consideration. Perhaps the most important of these Is a decision on the demurrer of the Ore gon & California Railroad Company to the Government's bill of complaint in the suit to cancel the celebrated Oregon & California land grant, which was ar gued and submitted last February. Judge Bean was Initiated as United States Judge yesterday afternoon in the trial of William Barkley, an Indian, who is charged with the murder of Sid Jacobs, a white man, on the Klamath Indian Reservation in August. 1908. This case was called immediately after the Patter son perjury case was concluded at 4 o'clock. "When court adjourned at 5:30 P. M. until 10 o clock this morning, five oi me is jurors had been selected, as fol lows: in. uregg, Jerome L. Simmons. Jj. A. Watkins, Elmer Denny and Thomaa iisiop. Great care is being taken, both by coun sel for the Government and for tha de fense, in the examination of jurors for the trial of this case. In which about a score or Indians from the reservation, aoour equauy aivmed. will testify. Yes terday afternoon ten were excused on challenges, principally by the defense, while only five were accepted. Raphael Citron and Judge Henry Mc Ginn, who appear for the defendant, an Indian about 30 years of age, are par ticularly solicitous in their examination of Jurors to ascertain that the prospective jurors are not prejudiced against the Indian as a race. The Government, rep resented by United States Attorney Mc Court and his deputy, J. R. Wyatt, ques tions the jurors closely as to whether or not they have any conscientious scruples about returning a verdict of guilty when capital punishment is provided. Because "W. J. Hadley was opposed to the death penalty, he was excused by the Government. The defense exercised Its peremptory challenges freely. Charles' L. Ogle, a former postmaster at Wood burn; C. B. Bloyd, who once resided on the Klamath Reservation, and J. A. Aupperle, who for six months employed an Indian girl In his household, were all excused by the defense. Jacobs, the man with whose murder Barkley is charged, was a horse-trader and an alleged "bootlegger." who is said to have furnished many of the Indians on the reservation with liquor. Not long before the murder was discovered, the two men are known to have had a quar rel. The defense will not undertake to deny that Jacobs was murdered, but will insist that the crime was committed by Barkley in self-defense; that Jacobs was pursuing Barkley for the purpose of rob bery and that It was while resisting Jacobs that Barkley killed his adversary of the Best TS $125 and Up TERMS HERLOW of Commerce PARS THE PORTLAND PORTLAND, OR. jT nit W - SB EUKOPFAV TLAX MODERN BE8TACKASI COST ONI MlLUOX DOLLARS.
