the past three months. He seldom

rot to know him.
"He was the last man I should have
' ousht would do any ehootins;." said
Mr. Rucker.
What actually took place after An
derson had made his entrance Into the
offlce of tha practitioners will remain a
mystery. Apparently he went after

CORVAU.IS. Or., March 20. (Spe
cial.) Confined, in separate jails, two
brothers. George, and Charles Hum
phry's, are awaiting the fate that the
machinery of the law may deal them,
both being charged with raurdor.
Charles Humphry was brought here
today by Sheriff Hancock, of Washing
ton County.
In a second confession today Charles
accuses his older brother of slaying
his stepfather, William King. near
Dayton, Or., about 12 years ago. Ac
cording to Charles this was George's
first crime.
King had quarreled with his wife
and left her, going to a cabin on a
rented farm. J Actuated by a spirit of
vengeance and a desire to obtain
money he thought his stepfather pos
sessed. George visited the cabin and
choked King to death. He secured the
money, but was disappointed to find
that It amounted only to IS. The neigh
bors burled the old man, under the
belief that his death resulted from
natural causes.
Aaofher Murder Attempted.
Charles further says that, In August,
110. George determined to kill one
Ole Oleson, living In Hayhurst Valley,
by choking him to secure some money,
less than $100.- possessed by Oleson. He
assaulted Oleson. but received a sav
age beating, and the brothers derided
to leave Douglas County. They moved
to Benton County, buying small farm
near Philomath.
It was In log that Charles says
George killed George Selby, a Dallas
farmer.
Mrs. Frances Jickson, of Portland,
aunt of the Humphrys boys, was In
Corvallls yesterday and requested
of Sheriff Gellatley itermission to visit
George, who Is In the county Jsil. She
did not reveal her identity and her re
quest was refused. While here Mrs.
Jackson said that George was the
leader of the two and that any trouble
Charles was In w-as due to the Influence
of the elder brother. She said that
George la "'smarter than ho looks." but
thst Charles Is not very bright.
Charles' statements of his brother's
various crimes were made to Detec
tives W. J. Mitchell and U G. Carpen
ter, of Portland.
Shortly after the Griffith murder
the Humphrys a.kod a Philomath real
estate a cent to sell their farm, offering
It for S00 less than they paid for it.
Georce told the agent that he thouzht
the officers suspected him of the Grif
fith murder and he wanted to get away
quickly and quietly. He said he would
leave at once and that Charles could
sign the deed.
When the agent told him that both
men we.ro grantees tn the conveyance
to them. George denied It and next day
brought In their deed which had not
been recorded and In which he had
partially erased his own name. The
agent later secured a new deed from
the grantors running directly to
Charles Humphrys.
West Rides With Prlsoaer.
Governor West was In the same car
that brought Charlei Humphrys to Cor
vallls and sat opposite Sheriff Hancock
and his prisoner, the Governor taking
the train at Independence.
The Humphrys brothers are of a low
order of Intelligence, but Oeorge. the
elder, has a certain cunning that the
other lacks, and has hitherto escaped
the legal punishment for other mur
ders of which he Is guilty, according
to Charles' confession, because of an
Instinctive animal-like ability to es
cape attention. In the several com
munities in which he has lived his
personality has been colorless and he
has been considered as simply a stu
pid, ignorant, harmless creature.
Klisa Griffith, for whose murder the
brothers are held, alone perceived or
felt the deadlines that was disguised
by the apparent simplicity of the fel
low, and had a number of time ex
pressed her fear of him.
t.eorae Waa't Talk. ov.
George Humphrys. when arrested and
one day after his apprehension, freely
admitted that he killed Mra. Griffith
at her home near rhllomath.- but in
sisted that he had no accomplices,; that
his guilt was not known to his brother
Charles, lie now refuses to discuss the
crime. 1
Charles, with an equal unrestraint,
confessed that both attacked and killed
the woman and robbed the house.
George Humphrys has been In a sul
len mood all day. following his nlnhl's
attempt at suicide. He has promised
his attorneys. George W. Denman and
K. H Wilson, that he will not make
farther effort to take his own life. The
authorities have requested these law
yers to represent th prisoner and they
have accepted the repugnant respon
sibility. Mr. Tienman said tonight that
he had not yet determined the action
he and his associate will take.
Mrs. Uayton Honkle, living near
Philomath, an Important witness in
the Humphrys murder trial, was se
verely Injured this afternoon. She and
her husband were driving home from
attendance before the grand jury,
when the team ran away. Mrs. Henkla
Jumped out of the bugny. breaking her
leg and suffering other Injuries. The
Henkles were near neighbors of Mrs.
Griffith.

Dallas .Man' niwipcariin-e.
DALLAS. Or.. March 10. (Special.)
The confession of George Humphry,
the Benton County murderer, and of hia
brother, Charles, has caused much spec
ulation here aa to the probability of
the Humphrys being responsible for the
strange disappearance of Newton L
Patterson In 1903. i
Patterson lived three miles north of
this city. The Humphrys were his
neighbors. The day before his mysteri
ous disappearance Patterson was in
Dallas and drew a small sum of money.
He left Dallas about 4 o'clock In the
afternoon and that was the last ever
heard of him. though at the time a rigid
investigation was conducted by the au
thorities. On the day Patterson disappeared he
had come to Dallas expecting to re
ceive a considerable amount of moncy
from the Government to cover back
pension, the amount being $1800. The
money didn't come until after his dis
appearance, and. being a man without
family. It reverted back to the Govern
ment. AGGEPTS DEFI

Conductor Makes Good Farmer.
Mr. Ross, of Proebstel. told an in
teresting story of his life's struggles,
which shows that there is far more to
be earned on a small farm than wont
ing at a good salary for a corporation.
For 27 years he followed railroading,
being a conductor. At the end of that
time he had raised a small family, hut
he had accumulated but little In the
way of property. He decided, then,
to try farming, and settled on a small
tract of 20 acres in Clark County.
When asked the difference between
the refative lnducemnts of working
on a farm and working for a railroad
company. Mr. Ross said:
"There is about $1000 difference. 1
worked for 27 vears at railroading
and did not get ahead any. In five
years 'I have accumulated property
worth $4000 and am making a good
living."
