A. J. WESTON HELD
FOR GRAND JURY
Bail Refused Alleged Slayer
of Hermit.
WIFE ABSENT FROM COURT
Witnrss Testifies Suspect Said He
Tortured Aged Kecluse lo
Obtain Savings.
BEND, Or., Oct. 5. (Special.) A. J.
Veston was held to the grand jury
without bail this afternoon on the
charge of murdering Robert H. Krug,
wealthy hermit rancher of Sisters,
following the story of the alleged
murder as told in justice court here
by Joseih Wilson, Sisters sawmill
man, and George Stillwell. formerly
an employe of Wilson's, now of
Portland.
Weston was called to the stand for
but one question from his attorney,
a query as to whether or not the
statements which he was quoted as
having made were true.
"They are in no sense of the word
true," he asserted. "I never made
such statements at any time." Be
cause of the sensational nature of the
case, residents from all parts of Des
chutes and adjoining counties were
present for the hearing, and the cir
cuit courtroom was Jammed.
Wife Not in Court.
Tt S. Hamilton and H. H. Dear
inoiid conducted the examination for
the state, and Allen Joy of Portland
and K. O. Stadter of Bend appeared
for the defendant. A. J. Moore, dis
trict attorney, son-in-law of Weston,
was not present. His wife did not
appear in court.
Stillwell testified that Weston had
left the Wilson mill bunk house,
where the two were staying, at 4:30
o'clock on the evening of March 24,
1919. when the murder is alleged to
have been committed, and that he re
turned two hours later. On arising
the next morning they smelled burnt
flesh. Weston said the odor must
come from the Krug cabin, three
quarters of a mile distant, the wit
ness said, and confirmed his theory
by visiting the scene of the fire.
Torture Admitted. Says Witness.
That evening, after the inquest,
Weston related to Stillwell and Wil
son that - he Tiad burned the house,
first torturing his 70-years-old victim
in a vain endeavor to make him dis
close the hiding place of his money,
and killing him when the attempt
proved fruitless, according to the tes
timony. Weston asked Stillwell several days
before to go to Krug's cabin with him
to get the money and on being met
with a refusal declared that he would
go himself, the witness said. After
his revelation Weston threatened to
kill his confidant if he imparted the
information to anyone else and it
was then that Stillwell first believed
the grewsome story, according to the
testimony. Wilson gave a new angle
to me case vtnen ne saia mat. ne, wnn
Stillwell and Weston, had been mak
ing whisky, that Krug had caught
Weston working at the still and that
after the inquest Weston had given
this as one reason for killing the old
man. As they walked home from the
Inquest Weston said to Wilson,
.Muni s the word," the witness testi
fied. S.-.OO Refused, Says Witneait.
Wilson said the defendant told of
going to Krug's cabin, how he hit
the aged recluse on the head with a
club, bound and choked his victim
and roasted the helpless man's feet
in the fireplace. Weston refused a
$Ti00 check, Wilson said, but "if the
old man had the money he'd sooner
o the route," he quoted.
"If you are going to kill me, do
It now," Krug appealed to Weston,
the witness said. He was interrupted
In his testimony at this point by a
derisive laugh from Mrs. Weston, who
a moment later, leaned over the table
separating her from her husband, and
winked at him when Wilson told of
Krug's death.
Wilson said rhat he asked Weston
why he ha-i not placed the body near
the door before firing the house, so
it would appear that an attempt to
escape had been made, and that the
answer had been: "I should have, but
1 didn't think of everything."
IVote Found In Vent
, Weston had explained the loss of
A hardwood stick used at the mill to
slip belting on and off a drive wheel
by declaring that it had "gone up in
smoke across the creek," said the wit
Bess. Wilson also declared that he had
found a not for several hundred
dollars in Weston's vest, drawn by W.
K. Kullar to R. H. Krug. Before this
Wilson had been warned against talk
ing, he said.
fersisent cross-examination failed
to shake either of the witnesses in
the essentials of their story. .

MAYOR PLEDGES
TO FIRE PREVENTION
Pressure of Dollar Interests
to Be Opposed. - ;
ORDINANCE IS SUPPORTED
Proposal Now Before City Council
Said to Prevent Repetition of
t Elton Court Disaster. '
Rotarians he'a.rd Mayor Baker at
their weekly luncheon " yesterday
pledge his administration to an' ade
quate fire prevention ordinance.' re
gardless of opposition, and to the end
that such disasters as that of Elton
Ctjurt may never again occur. The
mayor's brief remarks, called for by
the chairman, came at the close of n
address on fire prevention by J. H.
Shively, former Insurance commis
sioner of Washington.
"The pressure of dollars and cents
nterests is binjr directed against a
fire prevention ordinance now pend
ing before the city council," said
Mayor Baker. "It is. termed by some
whose affairs it touches 'an unrea
sonable' ordinance.' But in truth it is
carefully devised to spare the prop
erty owner all unnecessary expense.
while affording the public safety from
lire. 1M purpose is to make any repe
tition of an Elton Court disaster well
nigh impossible. When we are face
to face with the fire facts, as pre
sented here by Mr. Shively. we dis
cover that we are all responsible.
And acknowledging that responsibil-
ty. we are going forward with the
fire prevention programme, regard
less of all criticism."
Plea Made for Levy.
Mayor Baker also made a' strong
plea for the additional three-mill
evy, declaring that the growth of
Portland demanded financing beyond
the "village" requirements of yester
day, and reminding his auditors that
defeat of the measure would necessi
tate slashes in service, and 'would
hamper in ever.y way the civic pro
gramme, including fire prevention.
I want you to bear in mind." said
Mayor Baker, "that the city hall is
only a service station. If there is
anything wrong with the'service the
Portland public la receiving from its
officials, come up to the hall and
make inquiry. Tell us about it. I
may not be a business man. but I
have devoted every energy and
bought to giving the city of Port-
and a business administration."
Speaking on the topic of fire pre
vention, Mr. Shively won round after
round of applause from the Rotar-
ans, as he scored citizens, in gen
eral for the laxness of public senti
ment regarding preventable fires.
Particularly he warned smokers
agrinst carelessness.
Moot Fires Held Preventable.
'Were you aware." asked the
speaker, "that of the 1120 fire alarms
n this city last year, fully 90 per
cent of the fires were preventable?
Fire loss is a communal loss. Let us
get that fact rooted deep in our
civic and . individual consciousness.
If Germany had invaded our land and
had slain 10.000 American soldiers In
battle, can you not imagine the cry
that would go up from our people?
A cry for vengeance, for victory over
the foe. Yet that is what the un-
conquered fire enemy of America is
doing today, and its victims are prin
cipally women and children. Not only
is unapplied knowledge chargeable
against the American people, but the
having of eyes that see not is also
one of our glaring faults."
To illustrate this last statement.
Mr. Shively cited an instance in Cal
ifornia Just a few years ago. when
a neglected fireplace fender allowed
coals to fall upon a rug, thence com
municating the flame to the furnish
ings of the room and resulting in
the destruction of the property and
the loss of three lives. '
"And with it burned to death none
other than Mrs. General Pershing
and two of her children," said Mr.
Shively.
