SAVAGE GOES FREE
Jury Acquits Him of $10,000
Diamondflobbery.
VERDICT- RECEIVED WITH JOY
Only Evidence Asrnin-t Kim Was
Given by Kelly "Wiley, an Accoin- '
pllce in tlic Crime, and Trao
Johnson, nn Accessory.
Charles Savage, charged with larceny of
$10,000 worth of diamonds in the Portland
Hotel, November 17. 1901, was acquitted by
a jury In Judge Inzer's department at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The de
liberations of the Jury occupied two hours.
The verdict was received with joy by
Savage and his companion, Frankle
Thomas, and several friends of the de
fendant, who were present In the court
room, gave vent to their feellnga with
exclamations of approval, and were re
strained from making any demonstration
by the bailiff. Savage thanked and shook
hands with each member of the jury, and
Frankle Thomas expressed her gratitude
to a number of the jurors.
Savage was Immediately discharged
from custody, but Frankle Thomas Is still
held on a charge of receHlng the stolen
goods. She was originally Jointly charged
with Savage, but that Indictment against
her was dismissed several days ago, and
the other charge filed. The case against
her will, however, probably be dismissed,
as haIng failed to convict the man the
attorneys for the prosecution cannot' hope
to convict the woman.
The only diamonds recovered were thee
obtained from True Johnson, amounting
to about J2000 or less. No trace what
ever has been secured concerning the rest
of the diamonds, and the evidence at the
trial was that the officers do not know
where they are. True Johnson will doubt
less be given her liberty as a reward for
testifying for the state, and the only
person punished Is Kelly "Wiley, who
pleaded guilty because there were sev
eral burglary charges pending against
him on which he could havo. been con
Icted and imprisoned. "Wiley testified
that at the trial in consideration of his
plea of guilty he was let off with a live
years sentence, and the burglary charges
were dropped. He said he neer got any
of the diamonds, but stated that he leafed
on the outside of the hotel while Sav
age entered the place, and that when
Savage came out he showed him diamonds
In plush boxes, and afterwards at his
house. He stated further that Savage
informed him that he divided the plunder
with another man, but did pot say who
the mar. was.
True Johnson testified that she received
diamonds from Savage and Mrs. Thomas,
and took part of them to Omaha, where
she was arrested. Other diamonds, she
said, she left in her room, and gave a
key to the room to a friend named i Col
lins, and "took the only other lia,y-t0te
n room, -with Tier. TherqJ was alsq evidence
that there was a white man at True
Johnson's house on the night of the rob
bery, but he was neer located by the
police.
It Is the opinion of persons who heard
the evidence that only a small portion of
the real facts have et been discovered,
and that there are parties who were con
cerned In the robbery who have not been
apprehended.
The only positive evidence against Sav
age was that of Kelly "Wiley, an accom
plice, and True Johnson, an accessory. In
law the testimony of an accomplice uncor
roborated Is not sufficient to sustain a
conviction. No diamonds were found on
Savage or Frankle Thomas, nor was It
shown that they disposed of any.
John Manning, Deputy District Attor
ney, who conducted the case In conjunc
tion with A. C. Spencer, was disgusted
with the outcome of the two trials. He
remarked after hearing the verdict: "It's
no use trying to convict anybody in Mult
nomah County," and then added as an af
terthought, "with such Juries as we get."
The jury was composed as follows:
Ferdinand Floss. John R Slaln.
Daniel Healy. TV. K. Jackson.
C. K Burns ide. E J. Jeffery.
A. Blschoffberger. A. O. Bachrodt.
John P. Sharkey. J. C Jamison.

Mrs. M. C. Wells Seeks to Recover

spine and hip, and is permanently crip
pled in her left hip. Her health, it Is al

$SOO Damages.
T. F. Gannon yesterday commenced suit
In the State Circuit Court against John

of the refusal of the defendant to carry
out a lease. Gannon alleges that on Oc
tober 15, 1901, he leased from Sullivan
for a term of five years ground and build
ings at East Twenty-first and Powell
streets, at the rate of. $20 per month. In
May, 1902, lie charges that Sullivan broke

ENGLAND'S LATE SUMMER
Rain, Snorr nnd Hall Pat a Damper
on All Festivities.
LONDOX, May 17. So far as It has
progressed in London, rain, snow and hail
have been England's harbingers of Sum
mer. Never has there been such an In
clement Spring. Americans who have
come over for the coronation sit around
in doleful groups, waiting for the sunshine
that never comes. Women go to the
opera and clubs in furs, and the men
have long- since reverted to their Winter
clothes, so prematurely discarded In sunny
April. No amount of festivities, and there
are plenty of them, can dispel the uni
versal gloom that the awful weather has
created. In the northern part of the
country there was actually skating this
week, while an automobile trip to Scot
land has been uanaonea. iionuon urcij.
has been spared this last visitation, but
fully brought the unsavory weather rec
ord of the metropolis up to that of the
proinces today, when it became slightly
better and warmer.
Among the Americans who will have a
good lcw of the coronation is Lady
Charles Wolseley's 15-year-old son, Eric.
Lord Wolseley, who will be close to the
sovereign throughout the ceremony, has
selected Eric to act as his page. Lady
Wolseley was Miss Anna Murphy, of San
Francisco.
As regards the London season, of which
so much was expected, the fact is that
up to now the town is more empty than
usual at this time ot cne year. ,

eion throughout Idaho and Eastern Wash
ington. It is a tragedy of a most unusual
nature. The friends of Miss Booth all be
lieve that Dr. Ledbroek exercised some
sort of hypnotic influence over her, by
reason of which she was unable to resist
hl3 will. Testimony that she actually
feared him is now common, and more
than one young woman has been found
who says that Miss Booth had expressed
to them her dread of the doctor.
MLjs Booth Informed Miss Lucy Mix, a
girl friend, that sho disliked and feared
Dr. Ledbroek, and told other girl friends
that while she was In the hospital recov
ering from an operation for appendicitis,
he had hypnotized her, and had continued
the practice throughout the period of her
recovery until he had gained complete as
cendancy over her. To one young girl she
stated that while she was still sick in bed
Dr. Ledbroek had come to see her and had
brought with him a letter he had written,
dismissing a young man to whom Led
broek had objected as an associate, urging
her parents to forbid him the house? This
letter he had shown Tier, and demanded
that she copy it, and direct it to the young
man. Sho tearfully told her young friend
that through his unwelcome Influence she
had been unable to resist him and had
written the letter.
Winnlfred toll the same story to her
mother, and ended with the remark, "And
I let the old fool work me, and -wrote the
letter." Mrs. Booth, having complete con
fidence In Ledbroek, supposed that bis
endeavor to induce Winnie to break off
social relations with the young man were
caused by the great fatherly Interest he
took In her welfare, of which he fre
quently spoke to her parents.
The story of the double suicide is, in
brief, that the couple left Moscow and
went together to Oro Fino Saturday, May
10. They spent the night at the hotel.
Sunday evening they attended the Ep
worth League meeting and then retired to
the hotel. They did not appear for break
fast in the morning; and at noon, when the
door of their room was opened, the girl
was found dead on the bed. Beside her
was Ledbroek, in a dying condition. He
passed away at 3 o'clock. The couple.had
taken morphine by hypodermic injection.
A note was left by the couple on the
table, stating they had sent letters to
Moscow, and that people would arrive
from that point to take charge of the
bodies. Ledbroek was a married man and
was wealthy. Miss Booth was a school
teacher, and was employed near Kendrlck.
Ledbroek joined her at Kendrlck Friday,
and the following day they came to Oro
Flno. Ledbroek came to Moscow about a
year ago from Minnesota and became
acquainted with Miss Booth in church
work. He was also the physician, of the
Booth family.
The prominence of tho couple and the
fact that no intimate relations were sus
pected has caused a profound sensation in
Moscow, where the girl has been raised
and where Dr. Ledbroek had practiced hia
profession for six months. He was for
merly a clergyman, and at various times
during the past Winter had occupied pul
pits in Moscow. He was a well-read man
and a psychological student. He was "art
intimate friend of Rev. Booth, and about
four months ago he performed an opera
tion upon the girl for appendicitis. She
was a handsome young woman of 20, and
had formerly attended the University of
Idaho at Moscow. Her infatuation for
Ledbroek was not dreamed of by her
parents.
Dr. Ledbroek's letter to E. M. Gillette, a
friend, was as follows:
"Oro Flno, Idaho, May U, 1S02. My Very
Dear Friend: You have promised alwaj'3
to love me. Please do. We have under
stood each other and do yet; this explains
what I meant When I said that some day
you would understand all. Do net get
angry, but please remember U3 In love.
It may seem Idle nonsense to write about
Winnie and mself loving each other so
that to live pure, acceptable lives would
have been Impossible; but such are the
facts. Rather than bring shame upon
you, the church, and my home, we each
for ourselves choose death. Our love for
each other Is stronger than death. This
is the only gate friendly to us through
which w e can be together alwaj s. It costs
us a great many tears to rend so many
hearts, but to explain is1 useless; we would
not be believed.
"Some will pity us, and still love us;
others will think of us as heartless and
vile sinners. But we die as we have
lived, believing In the love of God as it 13
In Jesus Christ. We die thinking of you
all and expect that you will all love i.s,
and not say unkind things about us. We
are sorry that such tragedy should enter
your life as well as ours. Wo would that
it were otherwise.
"Poor Mrs. Booth! I know It will al
most kill her. She knows all about us,
and we will always sleep knowing that
one heart understands us.
"Please do not leave our cold bodies In
Moscow. Take us both to Spokane or
Portland. See my poor wife, and comfort
her. Talk things over with her and then
quietly lay U3 away.
"We would like the simplest kind of a
burial. We are tired of living and want
to rest. Bury U3 together, either In the
same grave or side by side, on the same
day. If you sing, let it be 'Abide With
Me and 'I Heard the Voice Of Je3us Say
etc. If anything Is said let it bo from
the words In Mark, 'All manner of sin,
etc., 'shall be forgiven.' Let Rev. Le
Crone conduct tho services.
"We are still alive and are together for
ever; do not think of us as dead. We are
rational and choose rather to die than sin;
we are not cowards It cost us much thus
to die. Forgive us, please, and lay ua
away together, please. Tour friend,
"J. F. L."
The girl's letter was brief and without a
date line. It read:
"Mr. Glllett: Will you please read this
letter and then take it up to papa and
tell him? Be sure and take it up as soon
as you get it, so papa can come down on
the afternoon train after us. He will need
some one to come with him, and, as ho
thinks so much of you, please come if you
can. It will be such a shock to him.
"Please do not think harshly about us.
We prefer to go this way than to havo
people talk ill about us. I know you aro
our friend. A long, long, good-by.
"WINNIFRED BOOTH."
The two letters were- in the same en
velope, a small note envelope, which was
addressed In Miss Booth's handwriting.
The letter was posted at 7 o'clock Monday
morning, although Dr. Ledbroek's letter
bears date of the previous day.
On the stand of tht room was a piece
of paper on which had been written In a
feminine hand:
"To the Proprietor, Hotel Noble: We
have notified our folks in Moscow that
they will find us here, and unless the let
ters miscarry they will be here on the
afternoon train. We have also sent for
an undertaker from Moscow. Expect
them on the train tomorrow. They will
take charge of our bodies. Please re
member the last song that we, sung last
night:
No sinner bo great that He will not take h!m.
No, not one; no, not one.
Jesus knows all about our struggles;
He will guide till the day is done;
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one; no, not one.
On the stand of the room were a number
of torn scraps of paper, on which Miss
Booth had evidently written to Mrs. Led
broek. These torn scraps were gathered
together by Mr. Gillette and sent to Mrs.
Ledbroek, no attempt having been made
to piece them together before sealing:
them up.
TRAINS AT COURT.
Restored at Future Fnnctlons by,
the King's Order.
LONDON. May 17. At the third court
ot the King and Queen of England, held
at Buckingham Palace, owing to tho re
cent order concerning the dresses to be
worn at court, only the ladles presented
and those who presented them, wore court
trains. The unique spectacle was wit
nessed of many ladles making their bows
to their majesties clad In dresses only a
shade more gorgeous than, ball gowns.
The question a3 to whether or not
trains should be worn at court has caused
great excitement in society here, and the
restoration of trains at all future courts,
which has been ordered. Is a great tri
umph for the fashionable dressmakers of
London, who brought such pressure to
bear at court through influential custom
ers that His Majesty yielded in the mat
ter and countermanded his first order
abolishing trains. But he permitted those
ladles who had not had time to procure
trains for last night's function to attend
In gowns without this feature.
The court was the best attended and,
most brilliant of the year. A large num
ber of Americans, in addition to those
presented by Mrs. Choate, wife of the
tTnlted States Ambassador, were present.
In the diplomatic circle besides Mrs.
Choate were President Roosevelt's sis
ter, Mrs. Douglas Robinson, and Mrs.
John R. Carter, wife of the second sec
retary of the United States Embassy.

sented Mrs. Foxhall Keene, Miss Louise
Chandler, of New York; Mrs. Frank
Avery, ot Chicago; Mrs. Blow, of Den
ver, and Mrs. Newhbuse, of New York.
Among the Americans who attended
court and who had previously been pre
sented -were Mrs. John Hays Hammond
and Mrs. J. W. Mackay. Mrs. Mackay
