CAFE SCENE OF TRAGEDY
Ta.Uver' Recent Promise to Keep
Son Oat of Trouble Arerted Sen
tence to Rockplle Decree
Obtained for Cruelty.
Tout bullet fmn m pistol la th bard
of Owe a Ogdea vert fired Into th
tireast of his former wife, w ho had di
vorced him only a vtrt before, and a
fifth, fired br th aam band, ended
("cden'a life a moment later, across the
street from the body of the woman.
.The. double kllilr. happened shortly be
fore o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the
Turn Hall Cafe, fourth and Yamhill
tret.
Accompanied br Mrs. Etta Barns,
"of Ol Thirteenth street. Selloo-t.
and Mrs. Cora Jensen. of 7W
tiulnby street. Mrs. OKden bad en
tered the grillroom only a moment
jtor and had ordered a plate of loc
wtrr. Ocden. who apparently had been
following her. passed In throurh the bar
room adjoining, entered through the com-munK-Uni
door, and walked toward the
eoma n. She saw him coming and, ap
parently, anticipated bis act. as she
rushed toward him and grappled with
Mm. He held her off and presented the
revolver at her breast.
Woman Shot I'd or Times.
Spectators say that ha moved the mus
'mle from point to point over ber body,
while ha fired three shots. Then the
woman broke away and ran toward the
front door. He followed, fired one shot
into her prostrate body as she fell just
Inside the door, and then made for the
street. As Ogden pursued the woman
the length of the room, William Erhulta,
, waiter, who had Jut aerved the
"woman, attetr.pted to hold him. but Ogden
turned around menacingly with the re
volver leveled and commanded, him to
ttand back.
As Orden fired the fourth shot Into
he prostrate body of bis former wife.
C. H. Keller, who lives at the Hort
fHotal. who was seated In a box wlta
two friends, lust across the aisle,
grappled with the murderer. Ogden. who
was of burly frame, wrestled with Kelley
end succeeded In dragging him through
the doorway and across Yamhill street,
all th tlma trying to free the revolver,
pome witnesses say that he bad cart
ridges In his hand with which he re
loaded It. As the two men reached the
farther curb ha succeeded In freeing the
weapon, fired a shot Into his temple and
fell face down on the sidewalk.
Crowd Gathers at Once.
An Immense crowd gathered almost
at once. Patrolman Evans, who. by a
coincidence, bad arrested Ogden three
weeks before for beat'eg his wife, was
on the scene a moment after the shoot
ing, and took charge until th arrival
of dergeact Cole and Depnty Coroner
Xmnnlng. Mrs. Ogden survived only a
moment, and lay dead, just Inside the
door of th cafe, face down In a pool of
blood, whll ber estranged husband lay
In a similar position across th street.
Both bodies wer removed to th
morgue.
C. H. Kelley. who attempted to atop
Ogden. gave this account of th shoot-
lr.g:
"I was seated In th front box on th
vest sld of the restaurant with two
friends, when I saw Ogden rush in and
fire at th woman. She ran toward him
and he held her and poked the weaoon
from side to sld of her body. Bring
wch time. Sh broke away and ran and
re after ber. At th front door sh
fell and be stooped and fired again.
Thea I caught him and we wrestled all
the way across th street. I tried to get
bold of th run. but b euoceeded In
working It free, and shot himself Just
as we reached th other curb. I fell on
top f htm when he went down, and his
blood spattered on my clothing.
Pliwrs Wildly Excited.
"The restaurant was nearly full of
g op: and ther was wild excitement
when the shots wer fired. Everyone
triad to get under a table or find som
other ptac of safety."
William Schultx, th waiter, told a
similar story. He said that as the first
riot was fired Mrs. Bums screamed.
-Oa. LiUl'.'" but Mrs. Ogden mad no
outcry.
Mrs. Fume W1 Inert to admit that the
women had entered the Turn Kalle Cafe,
and In this her f th shooting,
differed from that of every o;her person
who us Interviewed.
-W had Just met Mrs. Cora Jensen
a few minute before." said Mrs. Burns.
"Mr. Jersen bsd seen sn advertisement
In th paper, and we wer going to look
for work for Mm. Ogden.
"W had Just been to th -and-10-cent
:or on Fourth street between Morrison
and Alder, and bad grnie up Fourth to
Tamhill. and turned east on th north
aid of TamhUl when Mr. Ogden Jumped
out from the saloon door of the Turn
HaK Caf and grabbed Mrs. Ogden by
th back of th neck. He bad gone In
the Fourth-street entrance to th Turn
U1 when we turned th comer, and
emerged frena the Tamhlll-atreet saloon
entrance- He bslf dragged Mrs- Orden
to the reseaursnt entrance of th Turn
HalW on Tamr.lll street, and then began
hoot is g. He" bad th revolver In hts hand
when he burst out through the swing
ing doors of th ssioon.
Ann Pushed Aside.
"He fired two shots at Mrs. Ogden.
I think one struck her In the breast and
one in the abdomen. I tried to prevent
him from shooting. I took, bold of his
arm and be fired one shot at me. If 1
had not pushed hts arm aside Just when
he shot the bullet would have struck
me In the breast. As It was It Just
grated my left arm.
-Then he turned th weapon on him
self. H shot himself In th head.
"Cora Jensen a with B when Og
den becan shooting, but sh ran away.
-Win we alighted from th Sell wood
ear and started to walk up the street
1 thought I saw Mr. Ocden on the other
side f the street. But I waa not aur
It was he. and a letter which Mrs. Ox
den received Just yesterday from Hesale
Cooper, ber sister, at Hoquiam. saying
that Mr. Og den waa In Hooutams threw
as off our guard. Mrs. Ogden would
sever have ventured to go down town If
Sr. had known her husband waa in the
city. In tr.la letter Hess e said Mr. Og
den seemed to be very penitent, and told
ber" that If he could ever da anything
f-r Lilian h would do It. H probably
t'Sd ber this, knowing h would writ
It to her sister, and than took the first
tram for Portland.

Th case Is remarkably similar to th
killing of Mrs. Edith Hasslng by her
busband. William Hasslng, last October,
which trial la now being held. As In
that case. Ogden wss In Police Court
on account of his threats agalnt bis
wife only a few weeks befor the killing,
and was released upon promises of good
behavior. The cases ar different in
that tuning's employer vouched for

quently brutal to her. About thre
months ago aha went to th legal firm

When Ogden returned home ons Wed

charges against him, and a member of
th firm recommended to Judge Taxwell
that he be sent to tha rockpll.
Dlvorc proceedings were at one In
