probably due to the belief that no damage had been done.

WALTON TELLS

TALE
HIS
GAR HOLDUP
Two wltnesesa placed upon tha stand
for tba defense at the trial or Qhan
W. Walton oh. the charge of murderously
assaulting; Policeman Ola Nelson gave
testimony before Ciroult Judge Claland
and a Jury thla morning which created
something la the nature of a sensation.
Mrs. C, Johanson, proprietress of the
Ruby bouse, at Third and Alder streeta,
where Walton had a room and O. C
Ell la, a real estate agent, swore that
September 19 two men called to see Mrs.
Walton, both stating that one of them,
who waa called "Paddy, shot Nelaon.
Walton hlmaelf occupied the a tend for
about IS mlnutea, . His story la the
main waa tba ammo as haa already ap
peared in print. His explanation of a
aomberrf clrmimstanoas tending strong
ly to show his guilt. If manufactured,
showed considerable togeuulty.
Mwaawokaw Sim Wttaesa.
B. V. Baokman, a pawnbroker, was tba
first witness. He testified that last
August a .Sl-oalibra bulldog revolver
waa pawned at hia place by a young man
giving the name of Poster Blair. Thla
man looked like the defendant, but he
wag unable to swear that Blair and
Walton ware the same person. When
Walton took tha stand aftsrward he
swore that he waa the person who
pawned tha revolver, and that It was the
only one he ever had. The cartridges in
his pocket, be said, were the ones con
tained In thla revolver. They bad been
left In a suit which he had not worn for
some time prior to tha night of tha hold
up and shooting. .
W. I. Watson, a nephew of tha restau
rant-keeper, said ha had always under
stood Walton bore a good reputation.
On eross-examlftetion by District Attor
ney Manning he admitted sympathising
with the prisoner In his present plight.
H. H. Wright, a music dealer, thought
tha reputation of the prisoner good pre
vious to the charge of holding up a
streetcar and shooting Policeman Nel
son being brought against him. Ha ad
mitted having known Walton for only
two weeks prior to the commission of
thin crime.

' 2earsaf Speelel Berries.!
Washington D. C, Oct 14. Tha Srsfe
attack on United States war vessels
slaoe tha Spanish war occurred October
Is, at Pox Island. Tangier Sound,
Maryland. The attacking party waa an
irate' Mary lander, who fired "both bar
re la at the erew of the torpedo hoal
stationed at Tangier Bound. - Tha
"enemy" has apologised to the navy de
partment. The Mary lander is tha owner
of largo eystsr preserves on tha Island.
He keep a sharp lookout for pirates
and it s net sva unusual thine for him
to open Are on piratical boats which in
vade his preserves to Sll up on oys
ters. It Is supposed that whan tha craw
of tha Worden went ashore - on- Pox
Island to recoanoiter thev were promptly
olaaained aa pirates. When the shots
were beard the torpedo boat, which was
around the point, came on at full speed,
to the crew who were waving signals
frantically, to ha token out of range of
the buckshot - ,
Tha Marylander wrote the department
telling the atory and presenting high
consideration for the navy and express
ing regret for tha oooutreooa. ,-.
Walton's testimony as to tha events
occurring the night of September 1 was
prefaced by a general atory of bis life
and habits. He asserted that be had afc
ways pretended to be older than be real
ly la beoauae he associated with older
persons, and for the reason that If peo-4
pie thought him to be too young he
oouid - not secure employment easily.
Part of hla Unte had been spent aa a
stenographer and part aa a musician.
In effect his story was that the night
of the holdup he took a ear and went to
Willamette heights about 1:1 o'olock.
Getting off at the end of tba line, he
walked around awhile, viewing the fair
buildings, and then started back to the
city. When ho boarded the oar It was
running slowly. He saw a scuffle in the
oar between two men aa he etepped on
the platform, and two ahota rang out as
a young man coarsely dressed, brushed
past him.. .v-
- - Conductor Sessile SDbsv "
"The conductor Jumped en me just
aa this fellow reached the ground." said
Walton. '1 had no revolver and have

because I waa struck on the brad and
dased and the blood flowed Into my
eyes. But I struck nobody. Nobody had

trict Attorney Msnntng introduced in
evidenee a certificate of membership in J

that time.

: Mrs. Ct Johnson then took the stand.

two msa called at the Baby house to
see Mrs. Walton. One wore a dark ault

The other waa called "Paddy." She over

there until Mrs. Johnson went down

peared disappointed because she was not

complexion, the other slighter of build
and round ahouldared. The elder man
went a part of tha way down the steps
with the other and handed him a re
volver. "He asked m If I noticed' anything
peculiar about tha man to whom he had
handed the revolver," aald Ellis. "I
said no, and ho told me tha man had
been In an insane asylum. This man,
he claimed, waa not exactly right ha hla
head and had had trouble with Po
liceman Nelaon, whom he had shot. In

These circulars, printed without doubt

St Petersburg. Oct. 14. A dispatch
