THE SUNDAY OBEGOKIAIT, POETIAOT, MAY 10, 1903. IX LIND MAN ROBBED Charge of Hayes and Sargent -Against Shorey. THEY CLAIM HEAVY DAMAGES Ovraera of Hastr Messenger StoclC Say Shorey Used Position. a Mannger to Wreck Business and Buy It la Cheap. Jeff W. Hayes and H. X. Sargent, part ners, as the- Hasty Messenger Company. In answer to a suit brought by John F. Shorey, former manager of the concern, allege that Shorey. a3 manager, received $2000 more than he disbursed for the business, -which be has not paid over. They also demand $10,000 damages from Shorey on account of injury done to the business, and ask that Shorey's case be dismissed. Shorey sued to recover on claims which he averred were assigned to him by creditors of tho concern. The answer is sensational and contains what Is sworn to be a truthful statement of Shorey's doing as manager. It states that since February 1. 1S02. Hayes and Sargent have been engaged In the general messenger and deliver business, and sell ing cigars, under the name of the Hasty Messenger Company, Hayes owning a three-fourths Interest, and Sargent one fourth. Sargent took no active part in the concern, and the conducting of the busi ness was left to Hayes, who Is totally blind and compelled to rely upon his em ployes for information concerning what was being" done. Shorey, it Is alleged. In August, 1902. falsely pretending friendship for Hayes, particularly because of his blindness, of fered to gratuitously assist Hayes In the management of tho affairs of the com pany, and an arrangement was made with him by which he was to be allowed to conduct tho business without remunera tion under the direction of Hayes, and with that understanding, it is asserted, Shorey served until January 1, 1903. It Is charged that, as a matter of fact. Shorey before entering Into tho agree ment with Hayes and Sargent, had de termined to engage In business In the same line, either by acquiring the Hasty Messenger Company's business, or estab lishing one similar to it la opposition, and his object In making an agreement with defendants was that he might man age and manipulate things In such a way aa to Injure the business and lessen its value ; also that he might financially em barrass them and force them to sell out for much less than the real value of the business. It is further asserted that Shorey desired to learn the character and extent of the business of the Hasty Messenger Company In order to use the knowledge 'gained, if necessary, In estab lishing an opposition service. On account of the blindness of Jeff Hayes and reliance placed in Shorey's statements. It la stated that he was en trusted with the management of the busi ness and permitted to handle all moneys and buy goods. It la alleged that Shorey bought more goods and Incurred greater expenses than were needed or required, and otherwise ran things In an extrava gant, reckless manner, and also. In pur suance of a scheme to thereafter persuade the employes to leave the employment of Hayes and Sargent, paid them more money than they were entitled to received The charge is made that Shorey failed to keep full and accurate books and records of moneys Tecelved and disbursed, and refused and failed to make accurate reports of the progress, details and stand ing of the business, but made misleading statements. Allegations are also made that - Shorey stopped advertising in the dally papers and falsely stated to tho creditors of the company that it was the wish of the de fendants that the claims of the creditors should be assigned to him, Shorey, which claims and assignments were made by Shorey the subject of his action against the company, Hayes and Sargent. Ho Used these claims and assignments, It is alleged, to close the place of business, and to force and compel Sargent and Hayes to dispose of their interests to nlm for much less than the real value, and to financially embarrass them. The business Is said to have been reasonably worth $20,000. and to have been damaged at least 510.000. The defendants also hold an assignment of a judgment against Shorey rendered March 9. 1&7. in New York in favor of David Mitchell, for $273, on a bank check drawn by C. A. Avery In favor of Shorey and Indorsed by Shorey to David Hhc"- Including the -$10,000 damages. $2000 and $273.-a- judgment Is asked against Shorey altogether for $12,275. Dan J. Malarkey appears as attorney for Hayes and Sargent. GIVE NONE T,Q : RELATIVES Condition of Bequest to Miss . Ruby IV. SewelL Louise H. .Clarke, who by the terms. of ner will devised an estate valued at $4000 to Rubxavilleta Sewell. daughter of Ida Louise Apjohn, an adopted daughter of the testatrix, provides in the instrument tne following unusual restriction: "I further require and direct that the said Ruby Willetta Sewell shall not give any part or portion of the property or money so devised and bequeathed for her benefit, or any of the interest or Income therefrom to any of her relatives, in any shape or manner whatever, and that she shall not use the money accruing from her estate to assist any of her relatives whatever, and In case she violates the provision, sho shall forfeit all her right to said property and the income derived therefrom." The will also states: "I desire and direct that Ruby Willetta Sewell shall be taught to work and ac quire habits of Industry, and forbid that she be reared In Idleness." The testatrix bequeaths $5 each to Anna M. Mernah and Ida Louise ApJoHn. adopt ed daughters, and to Elizabeth Dunning $50 is devised. The property is placed in the hands of Frederick and Elizabeth Dunning for the benefit of Ruby Willetta Sewell, to be turned over to her when she reaches tho ago of IS years, the interest to be used by her and for the support of any children she may have. If she for feits the estate. It Is to be divided equally between the lodges at Gresham. A note held by tho estate against S. W. Scovllle for $1000 is not to be enforced -while he lives, if ho pays the interest. Frederick Dunning is named as executor and Elisabeth Dunning, executrix, with out bonds. OOUNTV COURT CUTS CLAIMS. Denies Right of Circuit Court to Order Payment of Fees. The County Judge and Commissioners question the authority of the Circuit Court Judges to order the County Board to pay certain claims such as official re porters bills, fees of experts who testify In court, fees allowed attorneys in murder cases and other claims. Attorneys appointed in the State Circuit Court to defend criminals -who are unable to employ counsel are not allowed any compensation. except that in murder trials fees have "been paid. An order was issued in the State Circuit Court -directing the payment- of $100 to Albert Ferrera for services performed by Ferrera. and John Dltchburn in defending Francesco fie,Falco, who killed his -wife. An order was also issued in favor of Dr. Manlon for 60 for medical services performed in tho same case.. Dr. Manlon also testified as an Insanity expert, and attended the trial throughout. The County Court, on motion of Judge TVeb3ter. cut the Ferrera claim from $100 to $50, and the Manlon bill to $25. Judge "Webster said the county was not looking for a- law suit, but would take the chances. The. members of tho County Board think they have the right to treat such claims .the same as others, and to cut, them down if th'ey are of tho opinion that "they are' justified in' so doingl RETURNED TO HIS FATHER. Dr. "Wltham Wins Contest for Boy VItk His Former Wife. ErriMt Arthur "Wltham. aged 10, who has been residing -with, his mother, Mrs. "Clara Wltham, for the past four years. will bo returned to his father. Dr. A. H. Wltham, at Palsly, Or. Tho mother did not desire to surrender the chlld and Dr. Wltham filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus asking to have the boy brought into court and the controversy determined. . Mrs. Wltham obtained a divorce from her husband In Prlneville, October .23, 1S97. She was awarded the custody. of two of the children, girls, now aged 8 and 12 years respectively, and Judge Bradshaw granted the custody of tho boy to the father with her consent. Dr. Wltham kept his son 18" months and then sent him back to his mother. In answer to the habeas corpus petition. T. J. Cleeton, attorney for Mrs. Wltham, con tended that Dr. Wltham, in sending .the boy back to his mother, abandoned him altogether. Mrs. Wltham admitted that she received $10 to $15 per month from her former husband to help support the children, but she said this was not enough, and she would not give up Ernest, who was attached to her and his sisters, and did not want to go to his father. Judge Cleiand decided that Dr. Wltham was given the custody of Ernest by Judge Bradshaw and the decree of the court was still effective. The opinion was ex pressed by Judge Cleiand that the father was sufficiently attached to the child to bring him up properly and give him a good education. . The dispute between the parents over the children, it Is stated. Is to be comr promised. Dr. Wltham will agree to contribute more than he has heretofore done for the support of his. offspring. He will allow Ernest to visit his mother and sisters, and the sisters will be permitted to visit their brother. MADE CRAZY -BY-BRUTAL FATHER," Sad Cose of Boy From' Snmpter Who Goes to Asylum. A sad case Is that of Ed Loudy. a little boy from Sumpter, J. years old, who was adjudged Insane in tho County Court yes terday and committed- to tho asylum at Salem. The child was accompanied by his uncle, L. H. Cavanaugh, and Mrs. Cava naugh, who Informed tho court that when the boy was 2 years old his father struck him on the head with a piece of tug from a harness, and rendered him unconscious! The child's mind has been almpst a blank ever since, and he chatters Incoherently. A strange circumstance In connection with tho case Is that the boy has had a strong desire to carry a strap of leather with him ever since, and when in the courtroom had two straps with him, which be brought from home. He was brought from Sumpter a week ago. After injuring the boy and realizing his condition, the father left his family. It Is hoped that medical treatment at tho asylum may In time restore tho child's mental faculties. OBSTACLE TO RE3IARRIAGE. Licenses Refused to Persons Di vorced." Within Six Months. Divorced persons can no longer obtain licenses in the County Clerk's office to marry third parties until the six months which the statute provides must elapse after tho granting of the decree of di vorce has expired This rulo has been adopted by tho County Clerk, and appli cants for marriage licenses are asked If they have ever been divorced In this state, and If six months has passed since the date of tho decree. If not, the license is refused. A license was Issued yes terday where the man In the case was divorced In the State of Washington five months ago. Tho legality of this mar riage is questionable, as the six months' limit is also the law of Washington, but the County Clerk Is not sure that 1n granting marriage licenses he must take Into consideration tho divorce statutes of other states. MERRILL LOSES HIS SUIT. So Damages Awarded Agrainst Metr ger for False Imprisonment. In the damage suit of Leslie Merrill against Fred Metzger, of Gresham, for false imprisonment, the Jury returned a verdict at 5 o'clock yesterday In favor of Metzger. The jury was locked up for an hour and a half. Henry E. McGinn and James Gleason argued the case for the defense. Metzger had $279- stolen -from him, and suspected Merrill on circumstantial evi dence, and caused his arrest. Justice Held, after a hearing, dismissed the case, and discharged Merrill from custody. Greenvrald Will Go Free. Not a true bill was returned in the State Circuit Court by District Attorney John Manning, in the case of Robert Greenwald. He was charged with forgery in issuing a receipt for 50 cents for a slx months subscription for the Ladies' Home Journal to Mrs. R. E. Bondurant, signed Curtis Publishing Company. The young man, it was alleged, had no authority to issue such receipts. Burglars Take Their Sentence. Thomas Clark and W. J.

Will Arrange Meeting to Explain Hott Consolidation Would im prove QrHality of Schools. County School Superintendent R, F. Robinson will announce the place and dates in a few days of the public meet ings which.' he will hold In this county to present the subject -of .school consoli dation. It Ha settled that ho will hold meetings at Gresham, Falrvkw and near Corbett .east of the Sandy River. He will visit those places Monday, when tho time will be fixed for the meetings. Pro fessor Robinson has already consulted with the directors at Falrvlew and Gresh am, and at the public meetings at thoso places the law will be explained to tho patrons, as they will have a vote whether they will accept Its provisions or not. At Gresham the consolidation Is to afford High School facilities and not to form a district union. At Falrvlew it will mean the consolidation of the small schools, while the organization of tho several dis tricts will not be displaced for the pres ent. Falrvlew building- has four rooms, two of which are occupied, and is well placed to carry out the consolidation plan. Tho County Superintendent has visited all the schools-that would be consolidated provided it is so voted. East of the Sandy River are H districts Of these it is pro posed to unite five at a point near Cor bett Columbia -Grange, Patrons of Hus bandry, has tendered the use of its hall and appointed a committee to collect data as to population of the districts to be united, prepare maps of the routes wagons will have to travel In conveying children to tho schoolbouse. A new build ing will have to be at some point that will be central to ' all the districts that -wilt be united- If" tho proposition car ries. If the plan proposed Is carried out It will place a High School at Gresham be sides the regular grammar school now maintained there; also high school facil ities will bo afforded at the consolidated schools at Falrvlew and near Corbett, east of the Sandy River, so that the chil dren of the rural districts may have the full course of studies at their homes. Be sides building up strong schools, the af fording of high school facilities Is one qf the Important features of the consolida tion movement. The meeting east of the Sandy River will probably be held In tho afternoon, as that will accommodate tho greatest number of people of the scattered districts, but at Falrvlew and Gresham the meets will probably be held at night.

Miss Ross la well known in Portland, and was former ly a teacher in the Bast Side schools. She had been employed In the Pension De partment, and, because of her efficiency, was retained when the force was re duced. A. A.

SlattheiTS Hns'Thrfce Mcny Tree Op pose III in. and Thomas Stands Be tween, Hoping: for Presidency. Tho custodians of the Republican pow er In Multnomah are going; to have a hard tlmo organizing the new Port of Portland Commission two weeks hence. From present .Indications the iUtchfill Matthews people -will ba left put la the cold. The reason Is that only three of the seven members are adjuncts of the "regular" Republican organization. The members of the new. commission have grouped themselves as follows:. .C. F. Swlgert, C F. Adams and John Drls coll vs. P. Ix Willis, Captain. B. "W. Spen cer and .Captain Archie Pease. Between the two camps is G. B. Thomas, who rather leans away from the Mltchell ITatthews element. . Ho and, John . Drls coll some time ago formed an offensive and" defensive alliance to thwari the present wielders of power in the county. Drlscoll Is an outspoken ontl- Matthews man and antl-everythlng pertaining to Matthews. Thomas does not have the warmest friendship toward the faction in power, for the reason that In the Legis lature it wanted to put C. H. Carey on tho commission instead of himself, and at one time had actualy done so. Swlgert and Adams are fraternizing. They rep resent the outgoing board, five members of which were kicked out by the present political managers, and therefore natural ly tho twain are as one. A merry fight is likely to come up over the chairmanship or presidency of the commission. The candidate of the Mat thews people is P. I. "Willis,- who will be supported by Pease and Spencer. The opposition candidate Is either Swlgert or Adams. Thomas would like to get the presidency for himself and It Is said that the bee Is buzzing In his bonnet His trick will be to play tho two rival factions against each other or to have them vie in giving him inducements, for without his vote nobody can be elected on the present alignment. Four candidates ore on the stage for the clerkship of the commission E. - T. C Stevens, present Incumbent, who will probably be supported by Adams and Swlgert; Edwin Caswell, who 13 said to bo backed by "Willis; SIgler, Councilman, who Is the choice of the Matthews people, and A. N. Gambell, who, it is under stood, wants tho Job pretty badly. It was la the power X)f tho present political regime In the legislature to put up a commission to .do its bidding, but this fact does not carry any weight under present circumstances.
