ITALIAN DESCRIBES FATAL STABBING James Brusco Says He Had No" Quarrel With Friend Whom He Slew in Melee. DRINKING PARTY RELATED Prisoner Says He Was Abased by Victim's Brother, Setpon by Both, and Struck While Clutched by Throat.- " " The fatal stabbing of Garnet E. Stark, in a quarrel at Milwaukie street and South avenue, late Sunday night, was related in detail yesterday by the slayer, James Brusco, an Italian la borer, who gave himself up to the po lice while detectives were searching the city for him. "Racial scorn. In spired by liquor, brought about the tragedy, according to Brusco. Brusco, with his sons. Emanuel, 16 years old, and Mike, 14 years old. ac companied Garnet E. Stark and Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Stark in an auto bile to the home of Frank Amato. at East Twenty-second and Taggart streets. There they spent the evening, and drank wine. They left the'Amato home at 10:15, with Garnet E. Stark at the wheel. Mrs. Stark was with her brother-in-law in the front seat, while the Bruscos and Charles A. Stark were in the rear seat. . Charles Stark -was drunk and quar relsome, it is said, and engaged In an altercation with James Brusco, calling him a "dago" and using other epithets. It was then suggested, according to tire story, of all. witnesses, that Brusco change seats with Mrs. Stark and so avoid her quarreling husband. Man Stabbed In Mlee. At Milwaukie street and South ave nue the car was driven to the curb and halted. Brusco got out, as did both the Stark brothers. The figures merged for a moment in the shadows, then Garnet sprang back clutching his throat and crying. "He's got me!" This is Mrs. Stark's version. The Bruscos, father and son. fled at once. F. H. McDougall, who alighted from a passing streetcar. helped Garnet btark into the machine, and drove it to Sellwood Hospital, where the-wound' ed man died a few moments after ar riving. It was then that Motorcycle Patrol men Ervin and Tully made the first investigation and brought Charles Stark and his wife to the police sta tion. The condition of the man was so evident that he was ' booked as drunk. No witnesses could be found. at first, to bear -ut the woman's story that her brother-in-law had been slain by Brusco. When the officers visited the Brusco home, at 1196 Rural avenue, the two sons were found in bed. They dis claimed any knowledge of the crime and said that they had not been with the party. Meantime City Detectives Mallett, Price, Tlchenor and Moloney, with Patrolman Tusl, went to the Frank Amato home. Amato's Story Tallies. The story of the evening visit, told by Frank Amato, tallied with that of Mrs. Stark, and the detectives returned to the Brusco home. Confronted by tne tacts, tne two boys told their ver sion of the affray, and declared that their father had struck only in self defense and after he had been villi- fied and abused by Charles Stark. While the search for Brusco was spreading, the Italian walked into do lice Jieaaquarters ana handed over the pocketknife with which Stark was stabbed. J he story Brusco tells Is one of abuse directed at him and his race by Charles stark in his drunken mood The two men were close friends oral naruy, ana an tnree ramutes were neighbors on Rural avenue. Brusco demanded to be let out. that he and his sons might take a street car to their home. Brusco told De tective Captain Baty. Charles Stark repeatedly had called him a "dirty dago," coupling it with unprintable epithets, he said. Brusco Allege Self-Defense. The car was stopped and he climbed out, Brusco said. Instantly he was seized by the throat from behind, he declared, and was thrown to th L-round, where he was kicked. He showed bruises on his face. He rose. still clutched by Charles Stark, and struck out with his bared knife at i figure before him. The blade pene trated Garnet Stark's throat, severing the jugular vein. Brusco declares, that he acted solely in self-defense. When his mortally wounded brother dropped to the pavement, Charles Stark. reeling with- drink, knelt by him and attempted to staunch the spurt ing blood with his bare hands, said F. H. McDougall, who drove their car to the hospital. Garnet Stark was 38 years old and was a machinist. Mis home was 1131 Rural avenue, where he cared for his aged mother. He was unmarried Brusco and he nad been friends for several years. The home of Charles A. Stark is at the southeast corner of Charles street and Rural avenue. Slayer and Victim Friends. The prisoner, who has engaged At torney M. G. Montrezza as counsel, is 45 years old and a laborer. He la small and wiry. Garnet Stark was large and powerful. Although Brusco had no quarrel with the man he killed. he maintains that Garnet Stark attacked him also. He expresses great regrej mai ne snouia nave siain nis iriena. Emanuel and Mike Brusco came from Italy two years ago to join their father. The mother remained In thei native land, at. Tagnano Castello. where sne tends a small family vineyard Letters passed between them constant ly. and they planned to be reunited within a-few years. By coincidence, the home in which the trouble originated, that of Frank Amato, has figured twice in tragedies within less than two months. On De cember 10, at 289 Sheridan street. Frank Amato shot and killed hi brother, Sam. in a revolver duel. He was freed when self-defense was thor oughly established. Since then he has moved from the house where the duel occurred. An Inquest will be held at the public morgue tomorrow night at 8 o clock. JURY ORDERS SLAYER HELD Giacomo Brusco Faces Manslaugh ter Charge Investigation. Giacomo Brusco, who stabbed and killed Garnet E. Stark Sunday night on Ellis strest, out Sellwood way. as th result of an altercation betwee friends, was ordered held for man slaughter and grand Jury lnvestiga tion at an inquest under the direction of Coroner Dammasch at the Court house last night. The Jury found that the slain ma came to bis death as a result of knife stab, inflicted In a drunken row. Evidence, although conflicting, point ed rather directly to the fact that liquor was responsible for the altrca tion that provoked Brusco, a small under-sized, streetcar track laborer, to strike Garnet Stark in the neck with small, inefficient pocket knife, the hort blade xt which severed the jugu- ar vein and penetrated the spinal cord. Charles Stark, brother of the mur ered man. was a witness at last night's earing, as was his wife, as both were members of the auto party that be came involved in arguments and hot words that led to the killing. Stark, who was admittedly under the influence of liquor at the time, did not recall the events that led up to the tabbing. His wife said Brusco was en raged unduly in an argument with Charles Stark and the auto was stopped n Lllis street to let Brusco change places in the machine with herself, so that the disputants, who were both in the rear seat, would be separated. Y hen the car stopped, she said. Gar net Stark got out. as did her husband. and in a moment Garnet Stark sank to the sidewalk, saying, "Jim got me. he staboed me with a knife. He died soon after he was taken to the Sell wood Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stark and Car et Stark, together with Brusco. visited the home of Frank Amato. 749 East Taylor street, where a few drinks of claret were taken. Some of the same liquor had been drunk at Brusco'a home arlier in the evening. They left in the auto driven by Gar net Stark for home, the two sons af Brusco, aged IS and 16. also being in the car. Stories differed widely as tq what happened. Mrs. Stark said there were no hot words on the way home and that Garnet Stark did -not have a Dottie or wnisay irom which he drank while driving. The two sons of Brusco, aged 15 and 16, also in the auto, testi fied to these things. Michael Brusco said Charles Stark called his father all kinds of vile names and choked him. Brusco asked to be et out of the machine so he could so nome on the streetcar. It was said. That the Italian stabbed in what was apparently self-defense as he w dragged from the tonneau of the ma- hine by tne neck by Garnet Stark was nis story. Emanuel Brusco, another son. told ubstantially the same story that his father was treated in the roughest man ner by both the Stark brothers, and. al though he did not see the blow struck. he knew his father had stabbed Garnet btark when he saw the blood flow from his wound. His father then told the boys to go home, he said, and Brusco himself told them he wouM go to the ponce station and give himself up. Emanuel Brusco also said Garnet Stark had a bottle of whisky with him. from which he drank as he drove the ma chine. iiie tsrusco and stark families have been friends for years. They live near each other and have never had any se rious differences. It was said. Liquor anu tne frenzy resulting from drink supplied the only possible motives. w. R. McDonald, doorman at the Broadway Theater, who was on bis wm v home, arrived on the scene shortly after tne siaDmng. He fcald Charles Stark was plainly intoxicated and R. D. Cotil- er, a moLorman. who was a passenger on a passing streetcar, got off and drove the Injured man to the Sellwood Hospital, where he died. Richard Deich.- deputy District Attor ney, appeared at the hearing for the state and M. G. Montrezza represented Brusco.

CRAFT ALLOWED TO SAIL District Attorney Says Investigation Will Bo Made to Determine if San Francisco Supply House Is Implicated. Two arrests were made in connec tion with the liquor raid carried on aboard the steamer F. A. Kilburn Sat urday and Sunday by deputies from Sheriff Hurlburfs office. Captain H. McClellan, master of the vessel, was served with a warrant and then al lowed to go on his own recognisance, while Chief Engineer William Mooney was released on $400 bail. The ship, which unloaded at Albers Bros.' Dock No. 3, was scheduled to depart yesterday, and got away at 6 P. M., although it had been feared the craft might be detained by the auth orities. Further Investigations re vealed more whisky caches aboard the vessel, the total of seisures amounting to 1569 quarts of liquor and 240 quarts of beer. Llqoor Moved Darin a Searcn. Finds of liquor were made yester day after a number of places aboard the vessel had been searched two and even three times, some one having evi dently moved the liquors while the deputy sheriffs were at work. Among the hiding places in which liquor de posits were found were lockers, the forecastle and even the shaft tunnel. In this latter place, which is reached by passing through the engine-room. 25 cases of liquor were found. Although quantities of liquor may lawfully be kept aboard vessels for sale on the high seas, a large store found In the steward s room aboard the vessel was seised on account of Its unusual size. Deputy sheriffs searching the vessel announce that the liquor seised in the steward's room was brought aboard at Yreka, the last port of call in wet territory, and that It was not purchased through regular ship's requisitions. Steward's Store Clerk. The steward's store amounted to 470 bottles, according to the record in the District Attorney's office. A signifi cant part of the evidence, as pointed out yesterday by District Attorney Evans. Is that 174 or tne Domes were one-tenth pints, a favorite slse among bootleggers. Packages of liquor aboard the vessel were found yesterday to be consigned to fictitious persons, and steps are be ing taken to determine who is respon sible for an apparent attempt to evade the liquor law. The clause of the law requiring all packages of liquor com ing Into Oregon tq, be labeled as such was also violated. Supply-House Part Investigated. According to Mr. Evans, possible fur ther charges depend on the ownership of the wagon which transported the liquor to the vessel in San Francisco. Federal authorities are now attempting to discover if the companies selling the liquor are guilty of any complicity In tha affir. Captain McClellan still maintains his assertion that the liquor was brought aboard the vessel without his knowl edge. Altl-ough charges have been preferred against him as master of the vessel, it Is not known if any per .nn.i rasnonsibllltv can be fixed. Cap tain McClellan admits, however, that on the evening before the departure of the vessel that he happened to drop into the liquor house from which the liquor was shipped, but thatthis was merely a coinciaence. . , , Tk. will be brought to trial here on the return of the vessel, which is dated for January ji. or at a later date. BONE-DRY BILL UP TODAY (Continued From First Page.) slon. for any resident of Oregon to go to California or to any other wet state and bring in a little supply in a trunk or suitcase. Possession of liquor acquired after tne new law goes Into effect will be prohibited. This is a technical provi sion, demanded, attorneys say. to com ply with the recent decision of the Federal Supreme uoun in tne weoo- Kenyon law. Confiscation Clause Absent. Search and seizure clauses are en tirely absent from the bill. Liquor lawfully acquired before the new law goes into effect will not be subject to confiscation. For the first time In the history of the state, drunkenness will be a crime under state law. Under existing laws drunkenness Is prohibited under city ordinances. Express companies or railroad com panies having packages of liquor in their possession, ordered under tne present law, will not be permitted to deliver them after the bill Is signed by the Governor. This provision was Inserted at the request of the express and railroad agents themselves. All wet goods held at tne time mo is slened must be sent out ot the state. fand the carriers will be given SO days to send it. Alcohol Importation Guarded. -The Importation of pure alcohol for medicinal, scientific or mechanical pur poses will be permitted, under restric tions, but no sale of alcohol will be allowed except on prescription of a physician and affidavit by the pur chaser that it is to be used for medic inal purposes. This provision Is ex pected? to curb the promiscuous sale of alcohol that has caused so much trouble under the present law. The District Attorney of each county will be empowered to grant permits for the sale of alcohol for mechanical or scientific purposes. Purchasers roust make affidavits of Its intended legiti mate use and these affidavits must be filed with the County Clerk. No change is made in the existing law regulating the Importation of wine for sacramental purposes. The bill doubtless will go to the House committee on alcoholic traffic and be considered in a series of joint meetings with the Senate committee of which Senator Shanks Is chairman. While all these committee meetings will be open to the public, at least one open hearing will be arranged. Such a hearing was held at the last session when the Anderson bill was under con sideration. Eddy Resolution Interests. ' Senator Eddy's memorial to Congress In favor of National prohibition has been in the hands of the resolutions committee for a week and has been the subject of frequent inquiry from pro hibition leaders In the two houses, who are eager to see its early adoption. Representative Anderson attended the meeting of the resolutions committee today and urged a prompt report. Rep- resentative Lewis, who is a member of the committee, wanted to delay the re port utnil his memorial for a National referendum could be reported out. Chairman Burdick and Representa tive Ritner insisted on an immediate favorable report on the Eddy memorial. Representative Stott voted with them. They compromised with Mr. Lewis on his memorial by agreeing to report It to the House without recommendation. Another memorial by Senator Eddy asking Congress to prohibit the use of the United States mail to liquor ad vertising in states which prohibit it under their own laws will be reported favorably, but with a slight amend ment. Ia its original form the me morial would have asked Congress to . prohibit the use of mails to all liquor advertising, even between wet states. $2 7,5 7 7 CUT FROM BUDGETS Ways and Means Committee Not to Let Institutions Suffer. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or, Jan. 15. (Special.) The joint ways and means committee slashei its way through a ndmber of appropriation requests to night and when it ended the night's work $27,577.60 had been eliminated, or a total of $34,110.50 cut off since the session started. The budget has scarcely been touched. vvar waged in the committee when motion was made to cut out $12,000 asked for agricultural assistants to Superintendent of Public Instruction. These assistants promote industrial club work among school children. Chairman Wood suggested a cut to $8000, but warm defense was made for the full amount by Representatives Clark and Al Jones. Final vote, how ever, favored eliminating the total amount. The cuts made tonight were: Schoof for Deaf, $1290. State Training School. $14,287.50. Agricultural assistants. $13,000. The committee also committed itself to a definite plan of action under the per cent limitation amendment, when it decided to pass on all Institutions for care of state wards, introduce ap propriation bills for such Institutions as rapidly as they are decided upon and then call a momentary halt for a trial balance to determine the surplus left to be allowed for other state ac tivities.
