Holding: Him : Gritzmacher Keeps News paperihen Away, ." - Cdwtrd VL Martin will be indicted iur mi .inucuet pi xnsiusd rruiii afternoon, . the ' police ' believing ' -that they have secured suf fictnt ' evidence C to warrant their holding bin to the olr , cult court for the crime. Chief of Police Gritsmacher and Cap . tain of petectlves Baty announced to day that they were positive k tn their v own minds that Martin la -the guilty man, and that he bad bo accomplice In , the murder. y ' y v' , In - the meantime, , however, many torle are eomlng up from . reputable people, some tending to confirm the po lio . vl,W fhA mom ntj a,Kam m how that it Is entirely erroneous. One of the most important of . these same to light this morning and Is being in vestigated by ihe detective department. It Is to the effect that a tall and short man, as suspected in the first place, committed the crime; that these men are still In the city, where one of them Is working at his trade, and that since Saturday they have had considerable money and jewelry, and have been dis posing of the latter by holding lotteries In one f the suburbs. Detectives Shadow Fair. -Although the names of the men con---. earned in this .clew art. withheld for obvious reasons, they have been given - - . .1 . . . U U L (1 U . H U o ion ponce ana are eemg snaoowea. One of the men is smrdoved in a clear jacrory in im city. : It is said that of these two' men, one, tha tall one. AlA not work at all on the day of the murder. The other qnlt worg, eariy m the arternoon. Tney rre both known to be without money ' on Friday. The next day they appeared with plenty of money and this week have worn various articles of Jewelry, such as watches, chains and diamond pins. One of the men hss exhibited a revolver this week, saying he drew It In a lottery at the O. I. C wholesale liquor house last Saturday. The liquor people have not been giving revolvers as prises. The other man was seen to remove a mask, knife and some jewelry from his rocket. Ha explained that he had been eaohlng someone how to act, and had used the mask for that purpose. Both . men are said to have bragged during the past week that they have all the money they need, and intended quitting work. They are known to have peen well ac quainted with Wolff, on of them par ticularly having at various times bor rowed considerable money from the mnrHAril nawnhvAlr, - - - Kaa With Bloody Coat. Another clue that has been given to the police was furnished by Ole Olson, an employe of the Associated press. On Friday night Olson claims to have seen a auspicious looKinar man in ina union depot yards, his clothing torn and blood on his coat and with his face badly scratched. The courtway into which the bloody shirt said tu be Martin's was thrown. Is near the union depot and on the wav of anyone Walking from the buslneas section Of the oity to the rail .. road yards. ' Martin himself has said that he be lieved there were three men connected with the murder. "I have thought all, the time that eii man couldn't have done that Job," he told a reporter. "My theory la that at least two men were In side doing up Wolff while a third stood guard on the walk. But I Just gather that from what I learned of tha crime before I was suspected of it." Martin's Strange Discussion. If Martin is the murderer of Wolff his cool discussion of how the crime may have been committed is almost without rarallel a murderer theorising on how he man he killed might ahva been dons away with by some one else!. Martin IsnVt as well today as 'he wan fcyeeterday and Chief Orltsmaoher has decided that the newspaper reporters can not see him any more. "All the news papers do is to put the police depart ment In a ridiculous light" said the chief angrily thia morning. ''They quote Martin and give his side of the case, while they just make fun of all we do. You can't see him any more." It was believed by some of the at-, tendants at tha jail this morning that Martin was going insane. The strain of his confinement has told Upon him se verely and he has been unable to eat anything. Martin beased for a doctor this morning, but refused to discloss anything about his alleged crime to the waiting detectives. City Physician Rlegler has been notified to attend him and will visit the- prisoner, this after noon. Trying for Mora Svideno. The police are still working almost exclusively on the theory that Martin Is the only one concerned In Wolff's murder and three detectives are bend ing all their efforts toward securing ad ditional evidence. In this they have been only partially successful. They have been unable to prove anything about the coat found on Montgomery street. The evidence that he borrowed a revolver of Mrs. Grueb is not re garded -as being especially Important and there are some other flaws that the police are trying to patch up. - The main thing Is to get some one to Identify Martin positively as having been in Wolffs shop on the afternoon of the murder or who saw him later in the ewring. They ars working on one clew in this iMreetlor now and hope to fcavr It run down by right. An Interesting sidelight on the case was furnished this morning when an omoloye of the county declared that he had seen one of the detectives leaving Wolffs shop lat Friday night with a coat, over mil arm and a rifle, tagged wisjit a pawn tag. nt suspected tnat th I I rifle m'ght have some connection wnii mat n una inin vacant 101 on .Morttgoniery street- .

Thomas Mc Cusker that Chairman Cake must "come through" with the organisation of the state convention. In order to secure this beyond a doubt it is now planned,' aocordlng to the story current, gor Cake to call the convention to order as chair man of th state central committee. Having called th convention to-order Mr. Cake, according to the program. Is to SDDOint tne temtorarv onairman. woo is to be a sure follower of 'the Bourn flar. In makinr this annolntment Mr, Cake Is expected to explain that he is doing so by the request of a large number of the delegates. Boars Kan Hopeful. With th temporary chairman picked from the Bourne camp, th Bourn peo ple hope to be able to turn defeat Into victory. The temporary chairman will have the appointment of the committee on credentials and on resolutions. These appointees would of course be strong Bourne men. The credential committee could then easily, with the aid of the resolution committee, work for the elimination of all proxies, which would. It is calculated, give the convention into th hands of th Bourne men. A great fight li to be made on tha proxy question by th -Bourn men. According to the calculation of th Taft men the Fulton-Taft forces have some 22 counties In the state while more than five are mixed. Lincoln alone Is conceded to Bourn without question and that county has but three delegates. For this reason the Bourne faction want to shut out th proxies. AT GLAY STREET Residents of Southern Part of City Are Signing. a Monster Petition. Now the south side wants a high bridge acres the river, and a petition Is being circulated asking permission from the council toxplac the matter before the voters at the June, election. ?h contemplated site of the bridge is rom the east line of Front stree at Clay street, spanning the river and touching on the east side at Mill and East Second streets. Several hundred namea have already been placed on the petition, and !t is probable that the re- ?ulred number will be secured In time or the council to take action on the matter at its next meeting. Those behind the movement say that it haa the sanction of the east side push clubs and the best citizens In the city. They point out that if the bridge Is constructed at the points named In their petition a sufficient height can be obtained from the natural lay of the land to guarantee that tne nignest riaraed vessels entering the port can pass oeneatn tne structure. The petitioners also state that If the new hrMs-e In erected the D resent Madi son Street bridge, which is described In tbe petition as being dangerous, can be rftinnvftd City Auditor Barbur completed check ing up the names on the petition for the high bridge to he nuiit across tne river north of the steel bridge, and it will be handed to the council Wednes day. There were 3.7J9 names on the petition, but after checking th names with the election rolls in the county clerk's office only 3,221 were found to be qualified registered voters, more than tne required number, which Is 15 per cent of the total votes registered at the last election. GUILTY OF ASSAULT UPON HIS UNCLE In 45 minutes the jury In th case of John Donahue yesterday afternoon found him guilty oh the charge of as sault with a deadly weapon upon his unci, ' Edmund .Sweeny." By so doing the'lulry rejected the insanity plea made oy his attorneys aua accepiea in ineary that - Donahue s peculiar talk since his arrst Is only sham. . When he was arrested Donahue said he was a god. Later he denied that he shot his uncle, and ever sine he has asserted that the man he shot was named Casey. He said he shot Casey because Casey was condemned to pur gatory, and his duty as a god was to send him there. Sweeny was shot three times without warning or-provocation. Th state contended- that Don ahue wanted to kill his uncle because the latter refused to lend him -money to build a house. After the effort to secure a lunacy commission ror uonanue was denied, his attorneys sought to have him acquitted on tne grouna oi insanity, ne was flaced on the stand, but evidently the mpression the Jury gained was that he was sane, despite ms incoherent and absurd answers.

This morning B. C. Beach, who is th keeper of the Mulkey headquarters, spent most of his time in th Fulton headquarters discussing the outlook and predicting that Bourne was out of th running but that Fulton would head th delegation with instructions for the uregon memoers to vote ror rait. It la apparent that fa Fulton and tha Mulkey forces have joined hands against Bourn and his ambition. They will work for an Instructed delegation. Senator Fulton's f Hands contend that their champion will be sent to Chicago at the head of their delegation. They say that Senator Bourne may be al lowed to go, but that he will have to go under the instructions of th con vention, or not at all. ' f , T ' JTnltonites Strong;. From th outside It appears, there fore, that th Fulton men have the whin hand and will control the conven tion. If thia happens, Oregon will send Taft delegation. AU of thia contention puts a very bad tangle in - the senatorial question. Fulton men on the - on hand, and Bourn men on th other, are already out -with their kliivea for the scalp of H. M. Cake. Quit a large number of Fulton men will not vote for Cake, no matter which- way th convention goes. Word ha been passed from the Bourne camp that unless Cake geta square be hind th Bourne program he will be hacked and crippled In June. If he does heed -Bourne, then the Fulton men will bare their blades. Either way Cake 'Is doomed to be cut Since It Is seemingly impossioie ror mm to d- liver th convention to the Bourne peo ple. It would seem certain that the uourne Knives will Dm busily at work by this time next week. MORE MRS. LEABO Bereft of No. 2; Clings to No. 3; Divorced From No. 1, Who Deserted Her.
