IDENTIFIES REV.
M
Jack Parrott Swears That Gar
diner Preacher Is the
Offender.
SAYS WOMAN WITH
HIM IS NOT WIFE
Gives Sensational Testimony
at Hearing In
Roseburg.
ROSEBURG, Ore., Nov. 23. The
Iron grip of the law fastened Itself
more securely around Rev. George
"Clark," of Gardiner, In 'Justice
Long's court, when Jack Parrott, a
recent arrival at Gardiner, positively
and emphatically Identified the min
ister as Rev. George q. Summers,
who is wanted at Throckmorton,
Texas, on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. With
equal posltiveness, Parrott declared
the woman with whom the minister
was living at Gardiner and the moth
er of two children, is an acquaint
ance of his boyhood days and not
the woman and mother of three chil
dren whom he knew as Summers'
wife in Throckmorton, where he,
himself, lived for many years before
coming to Oregon.
"It is Impossible for the Almighty
God to make two different men ex
actly like Rev. Summers," declared
Parrott, on the witness stand; "and
It is more Impossible in the case of
the woman at Gardiner whom he
calls his wife." Besides Parrott's
statement, there was Introduced in
evidence a periodical published by a
riPB Moines detective bureau, con
taining a picture of the accused man,
together with a personal description
that tallied to the most minute de
tail. The article said, however, that
Summers was wanted on two char
ges, Instead of one charge, of ob
taining money under false pretenses,
and that he would probably be ac
companied by a blonde woman. The
"Mrs. Clark" at Gardiner is a blonde.
District Attorney Brown a"so in
troduced In evidence a telegram stat
ing that the sheriff of Throckmorton
county, Texas, J. C. Sherlock, was
now en route to Salem, Oregon, arm
ed with requisition papers. He is
accompanied by Judge Massie, also
of Throckmorton, whom Parrott
says is the father of the woman liv
ing with the minister at Gardiner.
The two men are expected to reach
Roseburg next Sunday. In order to
get their testimony, Justice Long
continued the examination over until
Monday.
Parrott's Story.
Parrott stated that he was em
ployed by the Gardiner Mill Com
pany, although he claimed Throck
morton as hjs home. He said he first
met Rev. Summers in Throckmorton
In the fall of 1902, and that on num
erous occasions, afterwards he had
either heard him preach or engaged
with him in personal conversation.
His first meeting with the minister
occurred at the house of his (Par
rott's) uncle, whoso wife, ho said, Is
a sister of the woman living with
"Clark" at Gardiner. This woman at
Gardiner, Parrott said, ho has
known since he was 8 years of age
Her maiden name Is Bessie Massey
At a church at Gardiner one evening,
Parrott said he saw Summers and in
stantly recognized him. The minis
ter evidently recognized Parrott. too.
because as the witness testified, ho
stared at him constantly throughout
the service.
"When I heard his voice in pray
er," declared Parrott, "I heard the
same voice that I knew at Throck
morton. When I saw his" walk and
met that peculiar look in his eyes,
then I was sure ho was the man.
It Is Impossible for me to be mis
taken. His so-called wife I recogniz
ed as quickly as I did him, and she
is not the woman that I knew as his
wifo In Texas. In that state he had
three children, the ages ranging from
21 to 8 years; at Gardiner ho has
two children, one 3 years of age and
the other about one-half as old."
Parrott then wont into details
about his correspondence with his
uncle In Texas, which led up to the

JDDN D'S PLAN
Rockefeller TestiTes That He
Did Not Conceive the
Scheme.
(By Associated Press.!
NEW YORK, Nov. 23. John D.
Rockefeller testified today that he
did not conceive the plan of the for
mation of the original Standard Oil
Trust In 1882. "I am sorry to say I
did not," said Rockefeller, "I cannot
c"alm any credit for that as Mr.
Flakier and S. C. Dodd conceived It."
During the examination, Rockefeller
said the oil business is hazardous
"even up to the present time." This
statement will afford Attorney Kellog
for the government an opportunity to
examine Rockefeller on the conduct
of the company since 1882. It had
been understood that Rockefeller
would not be examined on the details
since that time, but Mr. Kellog main
tains that Rockefeller's gratuitous
statement that the business Is hazard
ous "up to the present time" opens
up to him the whole period of
Standard Oil's history.

BELGRADE, Nov. 23. Seventeen

telegram to Sheriff Fenton for the,
minister's arrest. On cross-examina
tion by Attorney Cardwell his story
did not vary In the slightest pai
ticular. ,
He denied that he was actuated in
this case by the reward of $200 offer
ed for the minister, and in response
'o one question said that he knew
)t no Rev. Summers while In TexaF
other than the man now on trial.
Parrott's demeanor while on the
itand was one of absolute confidence,
and he told his story without a hitch.
The effect of his damaging state
ments was not apparent on the de
fendant at first, but as his testimony
progressed gradually the accused man
became very nervous and seemed re
lieved when the ordeal was over.
Before continuing the hearing,
Justice Long ruled on the copy of
the Throckmorton indictment, to
which objection was made by Attor
ney Micolll, of tho defense, Wednes
day, on the ground that It should
bear the certificate of tho Governor
of Texas In order to make It admls
sable as evidence. Tho court denied
the objection.

LOS ANGELES MYSTERY UNSOLVED
; Identity of Young Woman

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23. The po
lice and detectives are endeavoring

and Identity of the body of the young
woman whose decapited and dlsmem-
jbered remains were found on the
Strenuous Canpaign Being

The municipal campaign that has
been In progress In North Bend lor
the past ten days, has been growing
Intensity and today reached a red
hot state, indicating that the caucus
to be held there tomorrow night will
be one of the warmest the town has
ever seen. There has been little
change In the lineup since the re
sume of the situation was printed In
The Times the other daj. About
the only new developments are told"
In the following letter from a num
ber of North Bend citizens:
Editor Times,
Two new candidates for the office
of councilman have arisen in North
Bend, who promise to make a very
strenuous fight still more exciting.
These men, F. W. Bode and Tom
James, are running Independently of
each other and of any faction simply
because so many of their friends have
asked them to enter the flght. The
realization Is growing that the fu
ture of this progressive little city
largely depends on the quality of the
men elected for the next term, the
matter of Valuable franchises, water
works and, more particularly, the
first bond issue, being instant and
requiring men of sound judgment,
proven business ability and unpre
judiced minds to hand.e them, there
is also a growing dislike for factional
politics for the secret meetings where
a few interested parties get together
and nominate a ticket and foist it
on the people ready made, and this
dislike Is a most pleasing evidence of
civic wideawakeness and progression,
it being difficult to credit that men
so nominated are chosen for their
personal beauty or disinterested
qualities. The spontaneous uprlsal
of these two candidates Is most prom
ising for they are men in intimate
dally contact with the people, acti
vely engaged In business and very
far removed from the distasteful type
of street-corner politicians.
