" might to be hung up by his ears for

'-l wish they could rind the right man
who done this." after ijierks had men-

Air. ijierks said that he had positive
"proof that his son could not have
lolled Mrs. Welirnian and her child.
-but he told in detail of the numerous
threats made by the young man to
harm members of his family. He re-
" lated one incident as follows:
rile worked with me and another
"man bv the name of August Schmidt,
neighbor, on a house on a house
: 1 was building for myself there. He
could not work on the scafTold and I
put him to work blasting stumps. He
was working around so that we could

' -He said to bis sister and the folks

. the scaffold to see them fall. Well.
we watched him all the time. I took
htm awiy from the work and put him
'" there to turn over some oat hay that
' had been wet several times and was
.. damp. I told him Just to turn it over
."' iind dry It out. I saw that he was
blinking big piles of it. He said that
'.. he would put a stop to my damned
' business somehow. He said:
that I could do this work. You nmke
. vour own hay.' He threw the
Z nltchfork and it went to the ground.
He said: 'You do not know how to
make hay nowadays.' "
. ir. Sierks then said his son started
7 to leave home with a shotgun ami a
rifl... but that he bought the guns,

P until he obtained another pistol.

Vews from Saiem yesterday that
John Sietks had retracted his confes
sion that he had klllea .Mrs. uaisy
Wehrmun nnd her little son near Scap
poose September 4. 1914. was received
as a severe blow by the family and
friends of John A. Pender, who Is
serving a life sentence In the peniten
tiary for the Wehrman murders.
I'ender's aged mother, his wife and
two sisters are downcast over the
latest develapments and attorneys for
Pender, who have been framing a
petition for a pardon are amiied at the
turn the affair has taken.
It had been arranged to take Sierks
to the scene of the crime yesterday
and give him a chance to Illustrate
how he committed the double murder
and show where he hid Mrs. Wehr
man' gun. Colonel Lav. son, superin
tendent of the penitentiary, accom
panied by George A. Thacher, was to
have brought Sierks down on the
electric line from Salem, reaching this
city at 9:15 o'clock, but because of
the trip made by Sierks' father to
Salem, this was postponed until Ister
In the day. Then the retraction fol
lowed. '
W". G. McLaren, who helped obtain
the confession from Sierks. and Roscoe
Hurst, attorney for the Prisoners' Aid
Society, had planned to accompany
Sierks to Scappose after meeting W.
B. Dillard. District Attorney for Co

the plan was changed, all went to
Salem to learn what had transpired
there and returned to the city last
