to San Francisco. ) Later, he telegraphed
Kelly: If can't get Job there, come

How Xelly Worked. ,
"Kelly was the slickest guy I ever
knew. He goes to work after planning
the Siiverfield job and he rents a room
for one week In the Cosmos house, right
across the street, in the front so that he
can-see everything that goes on along
Morrison street. He has an actress who
used to work at a local concert hail, and
' he spends all kinds of coin on her. He
sets her to go to SUverfleld's and locate
' the window on the third floor where he
enters later - from , Kan's store. Then
he stays In his room nights, and he sizes
- up the whole' situation. He sees when
the coppers pull in their boxes; gets on
in their habits to a T and 'spots' the
specials,, learning exactly the time they
show up to try the dehors and when they
report on in ua morning.
"After he gets everything stsed up,
Kelly waits until 12:20 midnight; and
then, with the cops and specials outf
To make doubly sure of safety, he bus-
, pends the nltro-glycerin above the door,

knowing the 'coppers and specials are
out of the way, and soon mixes with the
people going to work and all is well.
He has three hours, almost, before his
crime is discovered and he is safe. ,
Where Cullen Qot In.
A few days after the fur Job was
pulled off, Kelly comes to me in the
Hub saloon, where I. was then working,
and says he wants me to plant some of
the-coats and skins. He has three with
him. and Insists that I put them In the
basement. 1 . tries to explain to him
that I can't do it. for my people won't
stand for It 'Besides,' I says, 'I have a
poor old father and seven sisters in Chi
cago to. look out for, and I can't af
ford to mix in this. I can' f afford to
Jose here.' Kelly looks at me and he
savs: 'You're like all de rest no back-
"But he Insists, and' makes me take
three coats. - I plants them in the base
ment, then I goes and ets drunk. Fear
ful that I would be tipped off to the po
lice,-1 -tried to get rid of the coats,
and takes one to Elsie Douglas, a woman
who runs a house at the corner of Stark
and Sixth streets. It was a peach of a
fur and worth 1300. She takes it, but
gives it hack later, and I thinks, gosh.
she'll tip me. I goes quickly to a spec
ial omcer - my rriena - ana says to
him, go and get the reward I'm tipped
and you might as well have the $250.
I'll cut my throat first," he says, and
refuses to tell the police. But Elsie
Douglas did, for less than an hour after
wards I was arrested by Day and
Welner. I understand Elsie. Douglas
got the reward, and divided it several
ways. 'i- . . v . .;
"Well, I'm up against It. and In Jail.
Of course, I tells the detectives all I
know, and Kelly was Soon brought in.
He was as cold-blooded as eyer, and
when he sees me he says; "you're up
against it. Matt; they know you turned
that trick, and I feel sorry for you.' I
said; Why. George, you ain't going
to throw it into me, are your He says,
well, they caught you with the furs, and
I don't know anything about it They
can't do anything to me, hut they'll
bury you. I'm sorry for you. But keep
a stiff upper lip don't let these guineas

de county Jail, we'll get a good lawyer.
These fellows are not goln' to lay down

Kelly Xlstmsted Polio.
"Well, the result was Kelly refuses
to tell a thing, and I gets soaked. The
detectives tried to fix thing so that
Kelly would blow back the furs and
then get loose, but Kelly refused to take
their word or the chiefs word, and said
he would not give up the goods until he
had Larry Sullivan's promise that he
would be turned loose. When this was
given, Kelly keeps his word, and turns
up the skins. He goes free, and I am
still in the county JalL - Kelly was flush
when he came here, as he must have
had $.000 bucks.' The Siiverfield people
gave him -$20 when he left. I think he
went to Seattle, for not long ago a fur
store there was robbed, and I think he
tumbled' that Mump.' It's a kick-off
Just like the Job here."
Cullen says he knows the perpetrators
of the Slgmund Frank diamond robbery,
which occurred three months ago. There
were $3,400 worth, and there Is a reward
of $500.
"Kelly and three partners, known as
Harrington, Betts and "Dutch, ' planned
and executed the Frank robbery," said
Cullen. "It Is Betts and "Dutch" Detec
tive Day went to Salt Lake for. They
are under arrest there, and I think Chief
Hunt is holding back my ticket to Chi
cago for the purpose of making me stay
here and testify against them. My
roiks teiegrapnea me rrom Chicago a
week ago that my ticket had been sent,
but it has not come, the chief says. It
was to be sent to him.
"Now, It was a few mornings after
the Frank .robbery that those fellows
all comes to , my room. They brings
copies of The Journal, and some San
Francisco papers, : and they cuts out
some pieces. After they leave, I send
out and gets copies of the same papers,
and I see they rut "out stories of the
Frank robbery. I didn't see Kelly for
a week after that, and when I asked
him about it, he laughed, saying the
goods had been sent east, and were be
ing held at option.
"1 made arrangements to meet Kelly
and his three partners In Seattle, and
was Introduced by him to some fence
people there. But In -the meantime, he
and the others fell, out, and separated.
so when I went to Seattle with De
tectives Kerrigan and Snow, they failed
to meet us. .
TCeily's Xeeord.
"Kelly and Betts are. both Chicago
boys. , Betts is a short, chunky fellow,
about SS years old, has dark hair, muS'
tache and eyes, "Dutch' is from Port
land, and is of light complexion, about
five feet and eight Inches tall, and has
light hair, Harrington is from San
Francisoo, Is short of stature, is about
29 years old and has dark hair and eyes.
Kelly served time In Jollet for tearing
off a postofflce near Chicago. He was
known as one of the highest fence
climbers the Chicago police ever had to
deal with. He could scale , a 12-foot
fence with comparative ease, and es
cape the coppers every time."
Th Woman's Story. ;
"1 deny having told the detectives
about Cullen," said Elsie Douglas, "and
I never received the reward. It is true
that Cullen brought a fur Jacket to
my house, but I told him to take it
away. Furthermore I have forbidden
Cullen to come to my house. I re
quested Chief Hunt to keep him away.
He is always, talking about this robbery
and that theft, and I don't like it His
statement that I told Day and Welner
about him-la absurd, for they both
scored me for not telling them of it
They are both my friends, and if you
ask them whether I got the reward
they will tell you I did not"
An Unusual Offering. '
What is undoubtedly a remarkable
offering and one seldom made by any
firm is the cocoa mats being sold by
Calef Bros., 180 Sixth street this , week
only at 89 cents. This mat is regularly
sold, for (5 cents, and sold Ijw at this
price. Portland housewives who are
particular about the wear and tear of
their carpets, and who raise strenuous
objection to muddy feet these rainy
days, may save many words by invest
ing in one of these mats. The bargain
is ."laid at your door." so to speak. If
your oldmat Is "passing In Its hecks,"
nows the time to get a new one. After
Saturday night your chance is gone.

On September 1, 1897, E. J. Friedman,
known here as De Guilder, was placed
under arrest at Tacoma, Wash., In time
to prevent his departure and five days
later was transferred to Spokane.
Capt James Nevlns, superintendent of
Plnkerton's Nationel Detective agency
of this city, was sent to Spokane at the
direction of tf e protective committee of
the American Bankers' association to
guard the interests of the association.
Since April of that year Friedman
had been operating under assumed
names and swindling hotels In various
parts of the country. Claiming to be
the traveling representative of some
specified firm, he would offer at a hotel
office a check which purported to be
drawn by the firm in his favor, and suc
ceeded in acquiring considerable money
In that way. '
In the course of his travels. It la said,
he stopped at San Antonio, Tex., and in
June, 1897, under the name of Eugene
Guilbert, swindled a member of the
Bankers' association on a bogus check
for $200. The Flnkertons were apprised
and have kept the man under almost
constant surveillance since that time.
In August of that yesr it became evi
dent that Friedman was changing some
what his mode of operating. He had de
veloped into a cool, nervy forger. He
called on H. C Brooks, Jr., of the United
Coal company of Denver, Colo., and re
newed an acquaintance forced on the
railway between Colorado rad California.
Showing a draft for ?iQ drawn on a
New York bank and signed "Lasard
Freres." Friedman asked Mr. Brooks to
Identify him at the bank. Brooks
readily agreed, and further, endorsed the
draft It was returned as a forgery and
Brooks was held responsible for the
amount '
Later in the month Friedman struck
up an acquaintance with a traveling
man Journeying to Spokane. On, arriv
ing at that place he apparently received
a voluminous mall, among the letters
being one containing what purported to
be a certified check for $100. He had
created such a good impression that his
new-found, friend aided him to secure
the money. The traveler was bound
for Seattle and Friedman,' accompanying
him there, received a similar check for
$200. . With the aid of,his friend he ob
tained the cash.
Friedman then came to Portland

Guilder, finally leaving the city on a
short trip - In company with a young
woman. Meanwhile the traveling man
has barely reached this city before he
received a telegram from Seattle notify
ing him that the check cashed there was
fraudulent He was advised to cause
the arrest of Friedman, and at once put
the matter In the hands of the author
ities, who succeeded in arresting the
swindler in Tacoma, where he had gone
to engage passage for China
In his possession was a parole which
led to the discovery that under the name
of Emll von Guilder he had been paroled
from the Elmlra Reformatory of New
York state. The parole Is now In the
hands of Captain Nevlns and contains a
personal description which fits the man
exactly, even to the small scar in the
center of the forehead and the enlarge
ment of the first Joint of his left thumb.
It shows that he was committed for
forgery.
Plnkerton records show' similar
crimes which have been committed by
the man who is now in ths county JalL
He denies his guilt, but refused to com
mit himself when brought before Munic
ipal Judge Hogua,
Since 1897 he ha served a term in
the Washington state prison at Walla
Walla for forgery. Being released from
that institution for good behavior he
went Into Idaho and served another term
in the state prison at Boise. Forgery
was likewise the charge in that state.

"PorUand will be the very first city in
the United States to have a world's fair
and no paved street by which it may be
reached," said City Auditor Thomas C
Devlin today. The defeat of the pro
posed pavement on Twenty-second street
does not reflect credit upon the city.
"The defeat of the proposed pavement
will hurt this cl(y more t'han any other
one thing In the line of improvements.
It was designed to give us a good, pass
able thoroughfare to - the grounds,
and was ths only feasible street to Im
prove. The cost would 1 not have been
excessive, and that the improvement
should be defeated is Indeed too bad.
There is no likelihood that another at
tempt will be made by the city to get
a paved street to the grounds, and Port
land will have the unenviable dlstlnci
tlon of being the only city having a fair
of such great importance to' have no
payed street leading to It" V
The proposed pavement is that, for
which bids were to be called in the near
future. As published yesterday, it was
defeated by at least 0 more names than
two-thirds of the citlsens along Twenty
second street from Washington to Thur
man. It is estimated the cost would
have been between $35,000 and $45,000,
