    SLAIN DESPERADO
MAY BE PETTYJOHN
THE MORNING ORHOOXTAy. FRIDAY. JT7XT3 13, 1913.
Dayton, Wash., Man Believes
The Dalles Corpse That
of His Brother.
JURY EXONERATES SLAYER
Hope McCullough, Suggested as Pos
sibly Being Dead Youth, Found
Alive Investigators Believe
Drug Cause of Crime.
THE DALLES, Or.. June 12. (Spe
cial.) Officers here today returned to
their original belief that the desperado
killed Tuesday by Artie Harriman in
defense of his home was Cecil Petty
John, of Dayton, Wash. This theory was
again accepted today, after Hope Mc
Cnllough, the Echo youth, was located
alive by his brothers, Frank and John,
who yesterday feared it was he. A
second confirmation of the first Identi
fication, as Cecil Pettyjohn, was grlven
by his brother Thomas, of Dayton, who
talked to Coroner Burget over the tele
phone. Thomas Pettyjohn telephoned to the
Coroner today. He said Cecil started to
ward The Dalles several days ago, add
ing that he was "reasonably sure" the
dead desperado is his brother. He will
reach The Dalles tomorrow morning:,
when the mystery may be cleared up.
Killing Held Justifiable.
"Justifiable homicide" was the ver
dict returned by the Coroner's jury this
afternoon In the case of Artie Harri
man, who shot the man as he was
breaking Into the Harriman ranch
house, eltcht miles Bouth of The Dalles.
The Coroner's jury went Into session
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the in
vestigation lasting until after midnight,
when It adjourned until 1 P. M. today,
returning a verdict two hours later.
The Jurors were ready to exonerate
Harriman yesterday, but believed the
dead man had been drugged. They are
of opinion that the fellow was crazed
by drugged whisky.
Ed Wallace, who was made captive
by the desperado at the E. Hire ranch
Tuesday and compelled to walk to the
William Richman farm and break Into
the house and search for a pair of
spurs, testified at the Coroner's Inquest
that the wild stranger urged Wallace to
kill him (the desperado), saying his life
was not worth anything and that there
was a reward of J10.000 for him, dead
or alive. Wallace refused and then the
unknown man shook hands with Wal
lace and walked away.
Girl's Information Valued.
The opinion first held by the officers,
that the dead man was Pettyjohn, was
based on Information received from
Miss Bessie McCullough. of Echo. Or..
from whom the dead man had received
several love letters which were found
on his person. The girl identified the
aeperaao as ITecll Pettyjohn, whose
brothr Thomas, at Dayton, confirmed
the Identification In talking to Coroner
Burget over the telephone. Identifica
tion was then believed definitely estab
llsneu. out fc.. K. Ware, ex-postmaster
of Echo, and C. R. Bonney, formerly ot
r,cno, viewed tne body yesterday and
made the announcement that the dead
desperado either was John or Prank
McCullough. of Echo. Both McCullough
boys, however, were located on Stan
field brothers' ranch near Echo, but
they Bald the dead man might be their
brother. Hops McCullough. whose
whereabouts was not known, saying the
description tallied with their brother.
Coroner Burget this afternoon received
a message from the McCulloughs. say
ing they had located their brother
Hope.
