TTTE arOTCNTXG OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27. 1915. 13 NEVVCLEVVSHELDTO BE AGAINST SIERKS George A. Thacher, Criminolo gist, Says Hair Found Is Similar to Idiot's. TRIAL EVIDENCE ATTACKED Date of Wehrman Murder and Testi mony About Mail and Forced Cabin Declared 'to Err. Governor Has Report. Following continued study of the Wehrman murders, of which he con tends John A. Pender was convicted un justly, George A. Thacher, crimin ologist, supports the John G. S. Slerks confession with added details that have since come to light. Chief among these is & microscopic examination of the two samples of hair clutched in the hands of Mrs. Wehrman when her body was found in her lonely cabin In the mountains near Scappoose. "Exhibit No. 1, hair found clutched in the fingers of Mrs. Wehrman. is pre cisely like that of John Sierks in tex ture and color," said Mr. Thacher. Ex hibit No. 2 is finer in texture than the other and lighter in color, but it exhibits precisely the same peculiari- ties of structure as exhibit No. 1. "In all probability hair in exhibit No. 2 was pulled from the back of bterks' neck. Its character indicates this, and Klerks has an unusual growth of hair on his neck. PIstol-TsJUssr Theory Assailed. Mr. Thacher says the theory of the prosecution of Pender that he had used the revolver stolen from the Kiley ana Hassen cabin in committing the double murder is 'untenable, for the reason that the cabin was not broken open and the weapon was not taken until some time after the murder was dis covered, or until September 17, 1911, whereas the bodies of Mrs. Wehrman and 'her child were found September 6. Mr. Thacher has affidavits setting forth that Joseph Hassen told Pender in the Multnomah County Jail last July that his cabin and trunk contain ing the revolver in question were not broken open before September S, 1911. Affidavits of Ed Miller and Deputy Sheriff Fred J. Phelan support this conversation, which both say they heard. Tbey assert, too, that Hassen told Pender that the reason he did not return at the second trial and correct the dates in his testimony at the former trial was that Detective L. 1. livings met hira in San Francisco be fore the second trial and told him if he came to Oregon to testify it would be worse for him and warned him against it. Mull Clew Also Attacked. Mr. Thacher argues that the conten tion of Detective Levings that Pen der carried to Mrs. Wehrman the mail that was found after her death also is unsupported. The evidence, he says, shows that the clerk in the Scappoose Postoffice was not certain at any time that he gave this mail to Pender, while a mail package, which Pender was suspected of having delivered there, was shown by the testimony of Mr. Wehrman to have been in the house before he left the place Sunday afternoon, September 3. That the Wehrman murders were committed Sunday, September 3, and not on the following day, is said to be supported by evidence Mr. Thacher has brought to light. This upsets the theory of the prosecution of Pender, said Mr. Thacher. as the Riley and Has. sen cabin was occupied Sunday by the owners and the revolver could not have been taken on that day, although it was alleged at the trial that the revolver was taken Sunday. ' Hunters Discover Bodies. "I have been told by Mrs. Schnitzer, said Mr. Thacher, "that John Sierks told her that his mother went to the Wehrman cabin Monday and found the dead bodies. He fixed the event by speaking of stumps that were burning about the Wehrman cabin Monday. "Mrs. Schnitzer said she remarked to John. 'It must have made your mother and sister feel very bad to see Mrs. ehrman s dead body,' and John said. 'Yes, they went home and cried all night about It. And yet John's father paid and he said, in repudiating his confession, that he was at the Schmidt place, near Hillsboro, and did not go home until November. ''Another incident points to the fact that the murder was discovered by two hunters in the middle of the day, Mon day. September 4, but that they agreed in the hearing of my informant not to mention it. The man who heard this conversation was concealed from the hunters. He did not hear them vpeak of the murder, but he did bear one remind the other that he was not to mention what he had seen and not to mention the name Wehrman."

A Frank Milton Bradley. Frank Milton Bradley, general agent for Oregon of the Provi dent Life and Trust Company, of Philadelphia, passed away Mon day night at his residence on Mount Tabor, after an illness of several months. Mr. Bradley was born in Portland, Me., 43 years ago. Fifteen years ago he be came connected with the Provi dent Life and Trust and was ad vanced rapidly, soon becoming assistant general agent for Maine. Three years ago he was promoted to be general agent for Oregon. Mr. Bradley has always been prominent in Masonry. He re cently became a charter member of the new lodge formed on the East Side, Arcadia, No. 3. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and a member of the Portland Commercial Club. Mr. Bradley leaves a widow, five children and two sisters. Plans were discussed yesterday by the Celilo committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce for the cele bration of the opening of the Celilo Canal to traffic. Joseph X. Teal, chair man, emphasized - the importance of this engineering enterprise to the de velopment otr water transportation in the Columbia basin. Aside from the great commercial value of the enterplrse. it has a senti mental aspect that appeals to thous' ands of people throughout the Colum bia, Snake and Willamette valleys. We can well afford to take the time and expend a reasonable amount of money for the proper observance of the canals opening," said Mr. Teal. "I have every reason to feel that this committee will have the full co-operation of every city and community of the Columbia water way in the plans for celebration, President O. M. Clark, of the Cham ber of Commerce, declared that he felt the Celilo Canal locally was of com parative importance with the Panama Canal Nationally. Committee Elects Secretary. The organization of the committee was effected by the election ox Wallace R.
