THE SUNDAY OJREGONIA', PORTLAND, JUKE 29, 1902. LIGHT ON MURDER M R1PE1 ME TOI PICS! t . . y lt Z. ! As-Exoected.i Detectives Say They Have Solved the Borgus Case. IS PEACHES COLORED MEN FACE THE CHARGE A. T. Glndisace Is Held for Striking? tkc Bloiv and Ed JohnMon for Be ins' an Accomplice Snoir and Kerrigan "Worked Up Case. New evidence was discovered yesterday by the police in the case in which Louis BorgUE. 40 years old, of Third and Ev erott streets, was murdered on the morn ins of June 20. at the rear of the William etto Iron "Works, on Hoyt street, near Third, when he was robbed of his watch and chain and money and dealt his death blow by being struck on the head with some blunt instrument, supposed to be a sandbag. Two colored men, A. T. Glad issee and Ed Johnson, were formally charged yesterday by the police with be ing the principals in the murder, and the police say the new evidence shows that Gladlsseo struck the blow that killed Borgus and that Johnson, who was Glad issee's accomplice, was present at the time. Both men were arrested by Detec tives Snow and Kerrigan, and the case worked up by them. "We a-e now satisfied that we have the right men." said Chief of Police Mc Lauchlan, last night, but beyond this he would say nothing more at thoi present time. The detectives also refused to talk about the nature of the new evidence, and it is thought the reason for this silence is that the police do not wish the defend ants' lawyers to know the probable line of prosecution until the case is heard be fore the jury. Gladissee was arrested June 20 at Ruhl's lodging-house. Second and Everett streets, and was at first hold as a -witness. Johnson was 'arrested a day or so afterward. Evidence given before the Coroner's Jury showed that Gladissee and Borgus drank liquor together in the Gutenberg saloon, Third and Everett streets, and that they left the saloon together, about 11 o'clock on the evening of June 19. At that time the police could not discover the subsequent movements of Borgus and Gladissee, except that they were seen go ing nqrth on Third street. Yesterday the police admitted they had witnesses who can testify that they saw Borgus and pladissee leave another saloon after mid night, June 20, and walk toward the Ter minal yards. Borgus was found mur dered, with his skull fractured. June 20, at 7 A. M., and the medical autopsy showed that he must have been killed six or seven hours previously. The linings of his pockets were turned inside out, .show ing that the motive for tho deed was robbery. Charles Wilson, bartender at the Gutenberg saloon, testified: "I swear that Gladissee is the man who left the saloon with Borgus. I tried to prevent Borgus going- with the colored man, be cuuse I -ft as afraid Gladissee would rob him." When the facts connected with the mur der were first reported to the police, the trail was over seven hours old, and there were no clews to work on. Detectives Kerrigan and Snow secured a descrip tion of the colored man who left the sa loon with Borgus, and tb,e result was that Gladissee was arrested. It was argued that Gladissee had an accomplice, as in most of the recent Whltechapel highway robberies the robbers have been two col ored men. It was next learned that Johnson was Gladlfsee's "pal" and had been, seen with him on the morning of the murder. Gladissee was interviewed last night in the police station by an Oregonlan man, nnd he hinted that he had already been examined by representatives of the Dis trict Attorney's office. "I haven't much to tell except that I did not kill that man Borgus," said the prisoner. "I have al ready admitted that I drank with him that night in the Gutenberg saloon, and the bartender objected to me. I went out of the saloon and loft Borgus there. I went straight home, and didn't see Bor gus after that. I'm 19 years old, and was born in Alabama. Before I came to Port land I was at Salt Lake City, Utah. Say, if I was guilty of this murder I'd own up to it 'Deed I would." From an inside source it was learned that the working up of the case present ed unusually difficult features, that no "tip" was given, and thit Gladissee and Johnson were landed in Jail and new evi dence secured against them by hard work on the part of the firm of Kerrigan & Snow.
