QUIT POLICE SERVICE
l Captain Patrick Bruin, late head of
the city detective department, resigned
under firs last night and lasued a state
ment In; which be claimed that ha had
' been sacrificed by Mayor Lane and
Chief Gtftttnuber because he supposed
their protestations of reform were serf
pus. Captain Bruin, several days ago was
changed from captain of detectives to
rap tain of the second night relief. He
didn't like the change and resented the
fact that Captain Bailey had been given
, his place. ist night at the end of the
first relief he handed In his written
resignation snd turned over his star and
keys to Captain Slover.
Later on Bruin wrote out a' lengthr
statement In which he said that the
tough element of the city had "got"
, Mm. He claimed that Mayor Lane and
Chief Qrltsmacher had pretended to be
reformers but were really in league
with the north end element and cited
fuses where he said he bad been In
structed not to moleat the parties con
cerned in raids and similar affairs.
- Mayor Lane today denied the allera-
tlons against him contained In Captain
Bruin's statement In regard to a
fharge made by Bruin that he had been
' instructed not to antagonise a certain
woman .in the red light district, the
inayor says he told the captain of de
tectives to show no partiality, but to
treat all the denlsens of that district
alike.

Old-time residents of Portland who
knew the lsta George T. Myers for from
S to 10 years ware called to the stand
thla morning In the county court I
the contest begun by his daughter, Mrs.
Georgia Francis Stevens, who Is eeek
Ing to overturn the will of her father.
The line of pioneer witnesses wss In
troduced by the attorneys for ths pro
ponents of ths will, and without excep
tlon they declared that they believed
Myers to havs been aane, and an alert.
capable, bualneaa man.
Few or the wltnesaes on mis una
wars cross-examined by the attorneya
for Mra. Stevens. They contend that
her fsther entertained a particular de
lusion on the subject of his wires aeatn.
to the effect that Mrs. Stevens had in
some way asslated in murdering her.
They do not deny that Myers continued
to be a caDable business man. but they
assert that this delusion was sufficient
to Influence the asert canner to give all
but $20,000 of a $350.00U estate tu hla
son, Ueorge T. Myers Jr.
Son Identifies letters.
A stipulation entered Into this morn
ing by the attorneya helps to clear up
the etatua of Dr. 8. A. Koblnson. so far
as ths formal testimony Is concerned.
Much of the Interest centers around Dr.
Robinson, because It appears that Myers
blamed Robinson for the death of his
wife, stylng that he waa Incompetent
and had deceived them, and that he
blamed his daushter "Frank." as he
called Mrs. Stevens, for keeping Hobln-
son alone In charge of the case.
The atlpulstion this morning admits
that Robinson was not licensed ss a
physician and did not practice In this
stste. except as shown In the rreaent
case, snd that he was paid no fee for
his services, but that Myers paid his
board and traveling expenses.
George T. Myers Jr., who Is fighting
the effort of his sister to break the will,
waa on the stand yesterday afternoon
and waa recalled for further cross-examination
shortly befors the noon ad
journment today. During the short time
ne wss on ins siana ns was causa on to
identify letters written bv hla father
to Mrs. Stevens during the fatal lllneaa
of his mother. These letters relate to
domestic affairs and are affectionate In
tone, ths ouroose In Introducing them
being to show that Mrs. Stevens' father
was not estranged from her at that time.
Attack moMnsoa's Ability.
Another letter read this morning was
ons written by Mrs. Myers a little more
than two weeks befors her death, while
he waa staying at Ashland. Thla let
ter referred to the wisdom shown by Dr.
Robinson In taking her to southern Ore
gon. Dr. Holt C Wilson gave expert teatl
mony concerning the effect of a pelvic
abscess, which brought about the death
or Mrs. Myers. He said that under tne
conditions described ths cause of illness
should soon havs been discovered by a
capable physician, and that if sesson-
atiy niacoverea ana treated me patient
should recover. This was to strengthen
the claim that Robinson was wholly in
competent and did not know the charac
ter of the trouble he was treating.
