He seems to have been -a great swag gerer while loafing around the Second street saloons and rooming-houses-sharing his money with every one when he had it, buying meals and drinks for the people who met bis fancy snd acting in an almost protecting wsy to Harry Young, who' Is the state's chief witness up- to date. : - Young Is a flunkey and has been working in the logging camps. Young has been short of money of lata and met X Hose last Friday night In Lacy's saloon between 11 and 12 o'clock. Every day afterwards Young and LaHose ' have been together. th bigger man having apparently taken a liking to Young, bought him meals and met him several times a day. In Erickson's, lacy's and other laboring men's resorts. Young says that ia Rose had no money until Sunday or Monday when he showed some small change and began drinking heavily. Upon one occasion La Rose purchased drinks for a crowd and tried to leave the saloon without Davlng for them, but was called back and threw a handful af mnn.v nn the bar in a rage. About o'clock yesterday morning Young says he met La Rose and showed him a gold-filled watch, worth ISO he said, which he pawned at Welnhardts mt (Wnnri mil Hurniide streets for 13. When Young asked him why ha didn't get more for it La Roue replied that ft came from a country jay's pocket. "Weil have money all the time with the aid of my little gas pipe," Toung alleges La Rose said to mm. -Dlsoussed Wolff Cass.

Detective Tichenor. -wno--ftasv- been working on the case, discovered last night that one of three watches pawned by La Rose had been taken from the shop of Neumen, the murdered pawn broker. Thlg watch, it is claimed, was sold -to Neumen by Jim Signott September 17. for II. The DOlloa are endeavoring to locate Signott to verify tne-saie, annougn tna records or Meu- men's books are regarded . as conclu sive. The number of the watch was recorded by Neumen when it waa our- Chased. , ' J , An important Blece or testimony will be that of the bartender of FlcWs saloon- at Second and Ankeny streets. La Rose spent a great deal of time in this saloon talking with, the bartender. At 11 ociock Tuesday morning, the day that Neumen was sttacked. ha rushxrf into the . bar In great excitement and asked for a drink. He acted like an in sane man, according to the bartender.

Wagner, who was arrested and held on suspicion for the murderous attack-on Max Hermann. - the pawn broker, was this morning released from custody by order of Judge Cameron. While Wagner was In detention at the City jail D. Stein, a pawnbroker, swore out a complaint against him -charging him with abuslvs language, and thla made the circumstantial evidence against him all the blacker. After the arrest of Jack La Rose yesterday, how ever, it was generally believed that WagMer was not Implicated in anv way with the recent attacks on pawnbrokers. This was borne out at the trial this morning when it. developed that Stein used language equally as provocative to a ftaht rb did Warner. Wairnai- nlun proved' that he has been employed In Portland! as a railroad switchman for some months. He bears an' excellent reputation among his acquaintances and created an unusually favorable Impres sion In the courtroom this morning.
