    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."

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.

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
