Turner an opportunity to In troduce further testimony in their cases on the aame date. The action of tha committee in 'open ing up the Fallon caae came a the re sult of much urging on the part of law yer John Logsn, who haa been engaged by the notorious diva keeper to repre sent him before tha committee. Logsn appeared before the committee yester day and asKed tnat he be given a cnanee to Introduce testimony to show the character of, people who hang out at Fallon'a resort at Third and Coucn streets. ..

Logsn explained that he expected by the use of his witnesses to offset the testimony given to the committee to the effect that thuga, ex-convicts and robbers of tha worst type made Fal lon'a place a harbor of refuge upon comm to Portland.
