GililG ..i " (Continued from Pag On.) key th people bad a feeling of relief that an abatement In crime would be noticed In Portland. Few new facte have developed alnc tb men were arrested. Many voluntary wltneeaea have appeared and told what they know about the robbers and their work, and have aided Mr. Col ma terially In putting bla case together. About all that remained for the federal attorney to do after getting hie men wa to, connect up hie evidence. That he has dona this la believed by all who hava. followed bla work alnc th arreata wer mad. Two Confessions scads. ' . Of the known evidence regarding the Jobberies, th. confeaelona of Turnbull and Bryant are the most Important These men are' resldenta of Portland ahd Turnbull always bore an excellent reputation previous to his arrest As for Bryant,. th bartender In Tom Fal lon's notorious saloon on North Second street, little can be said. Ha belongs to a class who sooner or later delva into crime and It Is aald to be by no means serials) that Bryant has not, been SDgaged In crooked work before. Other Important" evidence connected with th developments of the past week are tb finding of the cartridges In the path leading from th Bell wood poet offlc to th river; th Identification of the revolvers found in the possession of Smith, by C. J. Moss, .the hardware merchant of Vancouver, who readily identified th guns as those stolen from his store. Also the confession mads by Gllbrlde, the traveling jeweler, who ad mitted to Mr, Cole- that he had pur chased 1180 worth cf th stamps stolen from til 8. Johns offle for 1139 from Turnbull. . .. - " , Smith Xa lUsal. ; In regard to Smith, th officials are much pujcsled regarding hie connection with th gang, , Ha has born St good reputation heretofore and on man whose, word la considered good by th officials, aays that he know, positively that Smith has worked steadily for five years at his occupation of a lineman. .Another-man. aays that he has known Smith for seven years nd that he has always worked in thatNtlm. Doubt Is expressed as to whether Smith was an actlv member of th ' crowd, that is, If ho actually did any of th work of robbing th postofflces, but It Is believed he knows a great deal concerning " th movements" ; of ' th erowd. With a good- reputation behind him, officers ars wondering why Smith has not mad a complete confession and attempted in that manner to secur clemency when hla caae oomea to trial. H has stubbornly refused to reveal anything, although he declined In such a manner as to lead Mr. Col and other officials to believe he would glv up th desired Information war he not in .jToarof what mtght-f ollow-tTora IT1 gang. Th great fear which has been shown all along by the rnen not actually mem- ' bers of th gang, - but who acted as fence and spotters, has led to the belief In certain . quartera that th robber -tiar confederates who have not been arrested, and that these outsiders may be lying In wait to strike down any of th arrested men If ,thy glv up th secrets of th gang. .. Sfamberf of CKug atXarge. tanv time to wrenk vengoanc upon any traltora. . - - This suspicion Is strengthened by the fact that four of th men have peniten tiary records. Of three. Carter la th only on ui"n whom Mr. Col baa a di rect line. When undergoing hi sweat ing process. Carter told Mr. Col that he had served time at Galem for steal ing several coats. He added that ha had been ' in trouble before, la 189S, but would nor tell where or what hla of fense wa( . It is also believed that he has several other prison terms to his credit. 1 Wan told Bryant that he had served time in Colorado for robbery. He is( known to have served time In other penitentiaries throughout th country, and possibly has aa many as five term marked up against him. Ha la th leader of th outfit and1 Impresses. one as th coolest kind of a criminal. Few j business men have stronger faces than ' Wane, and he Is economical. In his us of words. ' , ' j Wan a kUa of sTsrv. . Much could be'wrltten upon th Ira-, mobility of Wane's expression, his com-j rnand of men, hla cool and ateady nerve j that never fjlnche under the dlsalpa- , tlon of many clgarettea or th close 4 questioning and scrutiny of th of fl-, rers. He is a distinctive type and wtuld be picked out 9 times out of , lu as tha leader In most any set of i men. I . Wan has scarcely spoken slno he I has ben under arrest He has aaked i no favora from Mr, Cols or sny other j man. - Nor has he Been asked to leu what he knows. It Is a ease of on minding his own business, and If ever a man kept ut Of trouble by -follow- in g th tl me-worn precept Wa ne.wpuld have a good chance to b. that man. i Th reason that he has. not been asked to talk is out io in isoi uu mr. ,oim i-as nough evidence a trains t Wan to end tha prisoner up for a long term. Wan will not be asked to aay; any thing until he appears for his prelimi nary hearing, and It la ten chances to on that he will waive that right and be bound over to await th action of th grand Jury. , . Kelly Bag a Koord. 1 Kelly, la another bad actor. H Is said to have several records' back of him, but none of thee bas been deter mined definitely. Kelly la a bad" man to look , upon and la considered on of the most dangerous of th bunch. John Anderson is another on of th erowd who haa served time, i He does i not deny it neither does he confirm th 1 statement but whenever asked to ascend th family tree puts on a diabolical, leering grin that will make him famous some day. Wan and Anderson belong together. They ar complements of one another to anch an extent that they ! make up th moat dangerous "pair of crooks, thugs and robbers that on could (marine. . i. ' ., Qlv Wan tb thinking part, and An derson could carry out th rest, whether th way would be easy and free from danger. .or -whether It b over dead men. Anderson would com out ahead. Noth ings would stop th " man. His cold blooded treatment of all things consid ered conventional and refined, mark him aa a master criminal, and as such Is b feared by th authorities. " ' Banking May O 3Tr . ' There remains but on other member of th gang to be singled out and that la Ranklna. Little or nothing haa beenj -said about Kanklns at any stag or th proceedings. His nam baa not been heard save In connection with th gang. He has maintained a silence at sll times. His rcord is concealed so fsr as anything given out by th authori ties is .concerned, and bia connection with th robberies has never been ex plained, v ' ' . , . Whether Ranking had any of th ac tive work to do or not haa never been shown. - It is certain that he did not act. as a fence because that part would have to be done by local men and waa ..totally different' from th on under arreat In regard to membership, opera tions' and fields, may ba protecting th secrets of th men In Jail and ready at Charcoal Stops Gas r On Your Stomach i . ' Another suspicion that, haa grown to attended to by Bryant and Turnbull. It great proportions ia max anomer sans, ; a barely possible that Kankins may o the ons man or ma lot to ri sway. . u he dees it will be a great surprise to everybody who has -watched tb case, because of th strong vldenc which has- bn brought out, against avsry other man In th crowd. ' Only' two of th men are known to hav ratal ned attorneys to appear for them, - Out of these la Anderson, th toughest-looking member In th outfit and right-hand man of Wan. Ho will be represented by T. B. McDevitt Alex 8 week will also appear fof one of th men, commonly supposed to b Wan. That these two men of all th gang should b able to command th time of the attorneys Is convincing proof that th men hav recourse to" a, large amount of monsy. , PUT LIBERTY REQUESTS UP TO COUNCIL C01.TOITTEE Liquor Merv Will Decld What to Ask for Before Council - - men Meet. i Wonderful Absorbing Power of Char - eoaJ Wb"B Taken In the Form of -Stuart's Charcoal Loxenffesv ', .
