Alex Goldstein Offers No De
fense. CASE RESTS ON APPEAL
Verdict Returned in Less Than
Five Iinutcs; Confessed
Thieves on Stand.
..After deliberating less than five
minutes, a jury in tne court of Circuit
Judge Belt yesterday found Alex
Goldstein, second-hand dealer. 28'A
North Third street, guilty of receiving-
stolen property, or, in criminal
parlance, of being a "fence." No testi
mony was put on by the defense, the
attorneys for Goldstein relying on an
appeal to the supreme court on a tech
nicality argued before Presiding
Judge McCourt Monday and decided
adversely to their interests.
The specific crime charged against
Goldstein was that of receiving 12
suits of clothes, four overcoats and
several pairs of shoes stolen from A.
C. Peel. 101 East Sixteenth Btreet. for
which the confessed thieves testified
that they were paid $40 by Goldstein.
Alex Goldstein, with his brother,
Harry Goldstein, his brother-in-law.
Nathan Karl, and father-in-law, Will
iam Jacobsen, all owners of north
end second-hand stores, were indicted
by the grand jury the last day of
April. When trftil of Alex Goldstein
was called on the first court day of
June, the attorneys for the defense
asked Presiding Judge McCourt to
dismiss the indictment on the ground
that the law requires a case to be
tried in the term of court following
the one in which the indictment was
returned, which would have been May.
Judge McCourt ruled that the law had
not so befn interpreted by recent su
ireme court decisions and appeal was
taken.
Cm Rctitn oa Appeal,
. To maintain the standing of their
appeal. Attorneys Morris Y. Goldstein
and Dan Powers asserted that they
would offer no evidence at the trial
and would not argue the case. They
did. however, cross-examine witnesses
of the prosecution.
Testimony for the state sped to
.rapid close yesterday morning. Eugene
Kelly, "pal" of Harry Gardner, sub
stantiated all the statements Gardner
had made on the witness stand the
day before concernnig dealings with
the alleged "fence," Alex Goldstein
but the name of Harry Goldstein was
not mentioned. Kelly insisted that
he had a working agreement with
Goldstein by which stolen goods were
to be taken in and the thieves pro
tected.
Though named in a separate indict
ment, Nathan Karl was connected
with the receiving of stolen property
in the case at trial by testimony of
police detectives. Inspector Phillips
identified jewelry which Kelly and
Gardner had admitted stealing from
Harley Morton, jeweler, and disposing
of to Goldstein, as seized in the shop
of Nathan Karl, 27 North Third street.
Inspector Identifies Shoe.
Inspector Goltz asserted that the
hoes in evidence, as stolen from-; the
store of J. H. Garrett; at Hillboro
and soid to Goldstein, were found
by detectives in Karl's store. He fur--ther
said that after the arrest Karl,
"In the presence of Alex Goldstein, said
that Goldstein had brought him the
property in question, but that Gold
stein refused to comment on the mat
ter until he had consulted his lawyer.
Though a strong fight was made
y" Earl F. Bernard, deputy district
attorney, to get in evidence that Gold
n iein had failed to make a report of
:, the stolen property purchased, as re
Quired by city ordinance, Judge Belt
..'"'refused to allow it in.
Case Agalnat Brother Diminaed.
On motion of attorneys for the
"defense the case was dismissed as to
Harry Goldstein. brother, of Alex
Goldstein, no evidence having been
produced to connect him with the
affair According to the district at
torney's office, Harry Goldstein's
name was erroneously connected with
the case by the grand jury, another
indictment being out against him..
CHILD IS GIVEN MOTHER
Slepntother of Ernest Dowler Gives
Vp Charges in Eight.
Abandonment by Mrs. Cora Dowler,
"stepmother of 7-year-old Ernest Dow
i. ler, of the . charges that Mrs. Ethel
JHohaupt. natural mother of the boy,
as not a fit person to have his cus
; tody, resulted in a modification of the
."" divorce decree of Mrs. Mohaupt from
her former husband, Oscar Dowler
- yesterday, whereby the permanent
..ijoare of the child was given to his
ijnothtr. -
:- This ended a fight between foster
parent and real parent following the
death of the father in a lumber camp
recently. Immediately after the death
of her former husband Mrs. Monaupt
petitioned the circuit court to allow
her the child, which originally had
been awarded the father. To prevent
the carrying out of any court order
Mrs. Dowler, stepmother, kidnaped the
Jad, it was charged, taking him Into
the state of Washington, out of juris
diction of Oregon courts.
Mrs. Dowler later returned to Ore
gon voluntarily with the boy and pre
pared to fight out the case before
Presiding Circuit Judge McCourt.
