T. talker kt4 Mr, lirifltik Umt
2. and ruk Hoasc
Added to the confession of lies.
M. Humphry, murdcrvr. is the
signed admission of Ohas. T.
Humphry, telling how he and
his brother killed Mrs. Grith'h.
in June, at Philomath. Chas re
mained homo when lleo. was ar
rested, and IVputy District At
torney Tongue issued a warrant
for him. Saturday night, in order
to see if he was not an accomplice
in the horrible crime. Charles,
aged 32 years, told a connected
storv. detailing how he and his
brother went to the tirithth
home at night and Chas. grasped
the woman from the rvar, w hile
tieo. caught her in front, tvmg
her hands with a halter npe
picked up at the GritTith kirn.
Her arms were pinioned to her
side, and a horrible orgy followed
by the woman's tormentors.
She was then strangled by (reo..
who used his twre hands, being
aided by Charles, who held her
while the strangulation was being
effected. They left her dead in
the room, and then went upstairs,
where they robbed the purse of
the dead woman of $35, Chas.
getting but ten dollars for his
booty. C has. sweares they then
came down stairs and again at
tacked the body of the woman.
who had been dead for many
minutes. She was carried to
the iond, quite a distance from
the house, the younger brother
carrying her feet, going in the
lead, while the elder carried the
woman by her hands. She was
heavy, and the two rested once
during the trip. She was thrown
into the water, as detailed by
George, in his confession. Chas.
Humphrys stoutly alleges that
the motive was not robUry, but
was due to perversion.
Ihe strange thing about the
alTair is the fact that Geo. Hum
phrys. beastly as he is. had
enough manhood to try to shield
his brother. Deputy District
Attorney T. H. Tongue succeed
ed in getting a binding, legal
conression irom the younger
brother, and it clinches the el
der's admissions to a niecty, so
that both will be charged with
murder in the first degree. Poth
are now at Corvallls, and the
sheritT will see that they cannot
confer together.
The details of the crime are
the most revolting ever related
before an officer of the court, and
the two cannot be classed as
human beings.
Chas. Humphrys was taken to
Corvallis yesterday morning by
Sher'tr Hancock. Tuesday night
he detailed to the Argus reiMirter
the story of his brother George
killing li. W. S'lby. near Dallas
in the Fall of l'JOS. He said the
Humphrys family had gone to
Yoncalla to live, atd that George
(warded the train one day and
went to Dallas via Corvallis and
Independence, and from Dallas
walked to the Selby ranch,
where the bachelor lived alone,
and was invited tostay all night.
George accepted, but before mid
night killed his host with a Mar
lin rifle, owned by the victim,
then robbed the house of $.j0, set
fire to the building, watched it
burn down, and went back to
Yoncalla, where he told Charles
about the trip. George had been
absent two days and one night.
George, at Corvallis, denies kill
ing Selby, and says he was at
Yoncalla the night Selby's house
burned. Both brothers are igno
rant and they appear to have not
even a low order of cunning, and
their recitals are almost unbelievable.
Chas. T. Humphreys, who Moud.iv night confessed to
helping his brother murder Mrs. (Jritiiths. His brother,
George, is just such a lookiug. nun, only of larger frame.
