Sf rs. Charlotte MofTett-Cartwrlgbt In
Court to Regain Property by
Cancelation of Transfer.
Old Injury Cited.
TvTiether Via Charlotte MofTett-Cart-wrlght
waa lit mentally to transact busl
nesa when ah gave bar son a deed to
property valued at tlHXOOO la to b de
termined In connection with br suit In
Judge Catena- court to aet aald th
deed, held by her son. James Peter
Moffett.
It was brought out in tha trial yes
terday that Mra. Cartwrlght sustained a
serious fall six yesra ago. and that her
brain, apparently, waa Injured. Her own
testimony on tha wltneas-stsnd yester
day indicated that Mrs. Cartwrlght waa
uncertain of many important events in
relation to tha caa. In her original
complaint It was Intimated that aha wis
not in good physical and mental condi
tion at tha time the deed waa signed, and
this la developing Into an Important fae
tur of th caa.
On crosa-exsmlnation yesterday. Mra
Cartwrlght aald she believed at Brst that
she waa a-gnlng a deed of trust (or bar
son. When she learned later that it was
what ah now thinks It to be an abso
lute deed to th property h protested.
This was somewhat at variance with
her flrat testimony. In which she said
eha did not know, at tha time aha signed
the deed, that It waa a deed of any kind,
but that she believed it waa a paper rela
tive to her will.
Mrs. Cartwrlght alao sard on cross-examination
yesterday that she was In
spired to fight tha case first when she
learned that tha lease to the property
on which her home had been made would
require her to leave the old home, and
also that at that time he began to be
lieve that bar other son. William Mof
fett. would not gat an equal share ot
the property with James.
Mra Abigail Scott Dunlway was placed
on the stand In behalf ot tha plilntlff.
and testified that she had signed a paper
favoring tha setting aside of a certain
amount of property for William Moflett.
who, Mrs. Cartwrlght set forth, waa an
Invalid and not capable of attending ta
buslnean affair. The paper, which was
produced In evidence, was signed also
by Mra. Sarah Evan, another old-tlm
acquaintance of Mra. Cartwrlght. Mrs.
Dunlway explained that ah had signed
th paper under a wrong Impression, and
If aha had known that Jamea had already
obtained a deed from his mother for tha
property, ahe never would .ave algned it.
Tha case la dragging slowly, and only
five wttnessea have thua far been called.
It is expects that the plaintiff's evidence
will b completed today.

JEWELRY STORE ROBBED

In a manner suggesting connection
with several similar acts in tha near

robbed early yesterday morning of
jewels whose value la roughly esti
mated at 1800. Access to the loot was
gained by breaking a window with a
cobble atone tied In a sock. . A remark
able coincidence Is seen In the fact
that the missile waa exactly similar
aa to size and shape of the stone and
of Ita container to that used to break
a window in the pawnshop of Marx dc

In that case the sock waa white.
After the window waa broken th
thief helped himself to whole trays of

The theft Is the third of the kind
to take place In Portland within four

East Side Delegation to Call on

first of tb condemnation suits to
rain rights of way for tha new Broadway
Bridge was filed by the City Attorney
In the Circuit Court yesterday. The suit
Is against tha (Northern Pacific Termi
nal Company, and Involves tha rights
of way for nearly all the land needed
for the east approach for the bridge-
There will have to be two more salts
filed for lights of way for the east ap
proach of the bridge, but they will in
volve only very small strips of land at
the termination of Broadway. The suit
filed yesterday Involves the rights of
way to the waters edge on tha ,ast
Sid and will allow the contractors for
the substructure of the bridge to work
from that end.
Demands that obstructions to the lnv
mediate building of the Broadway bridge
be removed at once and that work on
that structure be conducted so that It
can be completed within a year will be

will visit the Mayor at 10 o'clock thla
morning will not be limited to any set
of appointed delegates but all voters and
taxpayers who are Interested in the
Broadway bridge improvement are nrged
to Join In the pilgrimage to tha City
Ball.
The committee will ask for several
specific steps by the city authorltt-s
that may aid In tha early settlement
of the difficulties now seemingly in ii.e
way of the apeedy completion of the
bridge.
First ot all It will be asked that tha
right of way controversy with tha
railroad be taken up and disposed of at
once either by condemnation proceed
ings or by arbitration.
The Mayor also will be asked whether
It is possible to give Instructions to the
contractors to begin work on one of the
middle plera of the bridge at once ao
that it may be completed ' before the
high waters of June, and that the sec
ond pier be started Immediately after th
June flood so that It can be finished be
fore the rush of waters In November.
In the meantime. It will be pointed out.
the bank abutments can ba placed and
the surface work can go on.
Further demands will be made that
the city start at once the advertisement
of the Installment of bonds authorized
several weeks ago, so that funds for
the development and completion of the
structure will be available aa fast aa
they are needed.
The committee, also, will ask that the
city endeavor to reach an agreement
with the railroad company that will per
mit the work on the bridge to proceed
with the question of rights of way and
damages unsettled but to be disposed of
aa soon aa tha courts or whatever agency
la to be employed for this purpose can
reach a decision,
"If the railroad company la acting In
good faith," said Judge Munly yester
day, "they will permit this arrangement
whereby the bridge can be built before
the question of rights and ownership is
settled. If the railroad company does
not agree to such an arrangement it will
be taken aa evidence that the popular
belief that th company is opposed to
the bridge has a good foundation.
"Unless the railroad agree to such a
proposition we will expect the Mayor
to prevent further work being done on
the piers for the new railroad bridge at
Gllsan street and demand the full set
tlement of all pending questions."
Yesterday's meeting was well at
tended, all the East Side Interests be

DEATH THOUGHT SUM
GOIiTER TELLS NEIGHBORS OF
IX TEN" T TO TAKE LIFE
Man Blown to Bits by Explosive Is
Thought to Be Owner of Valu
able Property.
Many pieces of human flesh, none of
them weighing more than one pound,
were found by Deputy Coroner Dane,
who went yesterday to Gresbam to re
cover the remains of George Goiler, th
Gates farmer believed to have been
blown to bit by some powerful ex
plosive. Dane pronounces the case a
plain one of suicide, basing the conclu
sion upon frequent threats to that ef
fects made by Goller to his neighbors.
He told his friends that when ha did
take bis life he would do it In a way
"that would give no trouble to any
one," and la supposed to hav had the
use of an explosive In mind when he
made the threat.
Pieces of the body were scattered for
100 yards. One foot. In Its shoe, waa
found hanging on a barb wire fence at
a considerable distance from the scene
of the explosion. Bits of Clothing
found In the vicinity are of the same
material aa that ordinarily . worn by
Goller.
After a thorough search of Gollera
house, Dane found only $S In money.
Though It is known that he paid his
taxea recently, the receipts were not
found, and it Is believed that the man,
who had many eccentricities, had a
secret depository for his valuablea
aomewhere about bis home.
Goller had very neat bachelor quar
ters, worth about 13000. He waa a
mechanical genius, a carpenter, fresco
painter and cabinet maker, and had
made his home very attractive. His
neighbors say that he sometimes spoke
of two sisters and a brother In Ger
many. It la not believed that he had
any relatives In this country. The Ger
man Consul will be consulted as to the
disposition of the property. It has been
tentatively decided that an Inquest will
not be necessary.
