Vmyire, MahaCsy. , Jud George's Court was filled with Oresham pobple all day .listening to the evidence in the case of Leslie U. Mer rill, who, through his father, Is suing Fred MeUg&r, ah erstwhile butcher of Or.uham. with false arrest of Leslie Merrill, having 'accused the boy of steal ina; 3279 November 8, 1902. The case' Is' sttractlng great attention inasmuch as the. Merrills are aulng for IS.000 damages, and, besides that, they arraign the sheriff's office in the com plaint for unusual proceedings wnen in Merrill boy -was Incarcerated in the county Jail, from December IS to Decern ber It. The complaint states that Les lie Merrill worked for Fred Metzgar as a hatcher's boy. and that while the ram tly waa absent from home he entered the house and took from a secret hiding Dlace 1279 in money. The facts that led up to the accusation are Interesting. On November . it is alleged that Mr. Metsgar came to Portland, leaving the boy In charge of the shop. He was re- aulred to nay a bill, and went to Mrs. Merrill at her home not far distant and she gave him thq small amount witn which to oaV the bill. In procuring the money for young Merrill, the daughter or AieuKsr upoim mo where the money waa kept. During the afternoon of that day the wife and daughter left-for a visit to relatives at Uontavllla. leaving me ooy aione. it is lld' that he entered the house and took the money. Oot Into Jail. . It was not until December 12 that hi waa accused of the crime, and at that time he was in Portland with his cousin, who bought him an overcoat While In this city ha was met by Detective Sim mons, who took him to Bheria Btorey. That official asked him to giva up the money he had stolen.' He said he didn't know anything about stolen money. Sheriff Storey is alleged to have said that if he returned the money he would be released. - The boy stated that they could'lock him up for ever, but he could not give up money be knew nothing about After a '.warrant had been se cured be was placed in the county jail and the sheriff refused ito release him unless cash ball of 3800 was forthcom ing. It was not until the afternoon or Monday. December It, that the father could obtain. the freedom of his son. The case was Immediately ' tried Dy Justice Reed and dismissed. Now the father of the boy is suing for damages. Didn't Maks Oood. Sheriff W. A. Storey was called to the witness stand this morning and en deavored to explain how he came to bold Lesllo Merrill in custody at : his ofllce while Detective ; Simmons went after a warrant ' ' On cross-examination Attorney w.- T. Hume, for tho Merrills,., took Sheriff Storey over the coals, and his testimony becama mixed. Ha was asked why He, had told Ihe-Uoy than if he would pro duce money, oi-Ucft. part or, K. as re mained, his Darents-woum make up trie balance and lu all 'probability , Metrgar would not prosecute, .,.- :" The Sheriff stated that he , had not accused the bov,and that 'he told him that "if he were guilty" he, had better return the money, etc. "Did you not keep the ; boy in your office white the detective want ' for the warrant?" asked 'Mr, ; Hume. , ,. "He stayed in my fllee'of bis own Xrse will," replied the Sheriff. "Then you "ttwan .'to say that'.you did Upt accuse him of stealing, and Leslie Merrill could lwve '-loft your -office had he so desired, before the officer returned 3 Mvith the warrant?"- $atd the attorney. "Tes. sir." replied Storey, IfjWas brought out during iho testi mony that .youn Jfertlll . :had been brought' to f the Sheriff' office and searched, although, Sheriff. Worey denied that any searching was done In bis pres ence. Witnesses also stated that a sweat ing process had beeir resorted to at tho rest occurred Saturday afternoon, was not ascertained. As it happened Merrill was kept in the county Jail over Sunday, and nothing but $600 cash ball would be accepted by the Sheriff. After the examination of Storey was finished Frtd Metsgar took the stand and told practically the same details as stated. Krs. Metsgar Has Her Say. Late . yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mets gar ws on the stand and her examina tion was severe. It was brought out that Mrs. Metzgar and her daughters had left home the same day that Metsgar came to Portland. Attorney Hume at tempted to establish with more or less success that the wife and daughter quit home, and went visiting at Montavllla because they were disgusted with Mets gsr's drinking proclivities. Mr. Hume asked the pointed ques tion whether Mrs. Metsgar had not taken the 3279 with her. She answered no. "And you left the $297 in tho house knowing that you were going to be ab sent for a long while, and did not know when your husband would return?' asked Hume. "Yes," replied the witness. It was fully a week after the day she left home before Mr. Metsgar ascer tained that his wife had not tho money in her possession. The case is being continued this after noon. ELECTRICIANS NEXT IN ORDER Lockout Mar & Decided Upon- at a Meeting Tonight. FREE DELIVERY ON PENINSULA Postal Inspectors Have Examined Petition for Carriers. Postmaster Bancroft and Inspector Lee of the Postal Department have spent several days sxamlnlng the petition for free delivery along the Peninsula. The petition for free mall delivery was sent to the department atWashlngton about a year ago and this is the first news that action is being taken by the postal officials. It Is proposed to make University Park the distributing sta tion. The entire Peninsula is within the City limits of Portland and up to this time haa been served with mail from two fourths-class offices, one at Penin sula and the other at University Park. This section of the city is growing rap idly. At a meeting of the Oregon Electri cians' Association, to be liilii this even ing, a committee of union workmen will be on hand, and it la claimed action may be taken that will result in a lockout of electrical workers. From the meager Information that can be gathered It l Iwllevetl that the em ployes will either "be locked out or forced to fOjoiL a strike. The associa tion, it la claimed, will Insist upon, the employes' slgaUlg an aKceemcnt to the effect that tby will work with non union men. ,-TMs is the great hitching point between. 'the two organisations. Members of the' union say they cannot comply with 'this request and preserve the principles which they have so long adhered to and- advocated. The reply made from the other side Is that owners cannot afford to have Jobs tied up by their employes 'refusing to work along side of non-union mechanics. A member. Of the association todaV said that a snort time ago it might have been possible " tor the union to have gamed its demands, but the way in which the matter how stands it will be Impos sible. ' He explained that an understand ing has been reached with the other associations by which It is hoped to force the unions to come to terms. Just in what manner this Is to be brought about he failed to reveal, it IS sur mised, however, that it is to be done by a combination of influences. DISCUSSION OF FAIR ON TAPIS BULL WORKERS ARE INDIGNANT Will Bay No Lumber or Slab woe d Till Strike Is Settled. ' STEAMER BOILERS LEAKING. The steamer Robert Dollar, which sailed yesterday from San Francisoo for this port, with a general cargo, put back to the Bay City yesterday morning with leaking boilers.

At tho last meeting of; the Lumber Mill Workers' Union tho following reso lution was unanimously adopted: "Whereas, The lumber manufactur ers of Portland, as shown by an edict Issued to the publlo in which they de clared they will sell no lumber for use In the City of Portland during the existence of the present troubles In labor circles, thus putting a stop to all building, and in doing so have provided one more opportunity and excuse for adding to an already exorbitant raising of rents, materially increasing the cost of living; and, i Whereas, in view of the fact that the action of said mills "was unwarrant ed and unjustifiable; therefore, be it 'Resolved, That in tho future we will not buy or use any slab wood coming from, or made by any of the lumber mills which signed said statement 'Furthermore, Wo ask all members of organised labor and their friends to do the same." Joint Debate Between Labor Men , and Board of Trade. A visit was made to the Federated Trades Council meeting last night by a committee- from the Board of Trade. The latter wunted to know If some ar rangements could not be made for the council to withdraw the resolutions It recently passed against the Lewis and Clark Fair. At the suggestion of the visitors a committee was appointed by the council to attend the meeting of the Board of Trade Monday night and par ticipate in a Joint discussion regarding the matter. The proposition was accept ed and the following committee was named: Harry Rogers, J. B. Losch, A W. Jones. Harry Gurr. E. A. Austin, J. K. Btanton and C. J. Bergey. Why the council is antagonistic to the Exposi tion will be the subject for debate. An interesting discussion la expected to ensue. The labor men seem more determined than ever during the past few days to Invoke the referendum against the ap propriation for the Fair. Committees having the petitions in charge have been attending union meetings and .securing signatures. They claim that more than enough names have already been secured. but they state that the work will con tinue for some time yet as it is their desire to make as big a showing as possible along this line. The council appointed six of its members last Bight to assist in the work. There are now 13 men .from the council and 10 from the Painters' Union circulating the petitions. The varloua unions in the city and state have been asked to indorse tho resolu tions passed by the Federated Trades Council and the State Labor Convention on the subject and many of them have already done so. If wages are not ih- creased It is believed that they 'will all present a solid front against the Cen tennial. At least they aay they will, and their actlona appear to indicate it f BELL C& CO.
