(Btlem Bnrttu if Thi Journal.)
, Salem, Or., Dec. 21. Having an ear
t nest desire not only, to protect the few
remaining elk In this state, but to bring;
.bout an Increase In their number end
' a rain make Oregon an elk state. Gov
ernor "Went Is in cooperation with State
Game Warden Finley, endeavoring to
arrange for securing aeveral carload of
Ik from Wyoming.
Finley had the matter up with the
federal authorities at Washington and
received assurance that 15 elk would
i be delivered him at one of the Wyoming
railroad stations.
While east with the governors' ape
eial Governor West went Into the matter
, fully with Governor Carey of Wyoming,
who told him that ha would be glad to
lend the Oregon authorities every pos-
Bible assistance In securing transporta-
: tloa to Oregon of several carloads of
lk, and that while the laws of Wyora
Jng under ordinary circumstances would
prevent their shipment out of the state,
thev would not apply in this case.
"If these elk are secured," said Gov
. ernor West, "and 1 think there Is no
. question but we will be able to get them,
It la planned not to liberate them but
to confine them In certain localities, to
prevent their roaming until they have
became acquainted with the locality.
This can only be done by fencing an
area- of forest resedve land In different
. parts of the state, If the stats succeeds
In creating a state forest by exchange
' of scattering school sections throughout
the federal forest reserve for a com-,
pact body of forest reserve land, parts
Of this tract oould be fenced and kept
as game refuges.
"The several Elk lodges of the state
should be deeply Interested In this ques
tion, and we feel we will have their co
operation In this work. This Is about
the last opportunity we will have to
Import elk for the purpose of propaga
tion, and every effort should be put
forth to take advantage of It."

; seemingly confused In the route he let
Harvey believe he purposed to take,
Stretched tha conversation over several
minutes. Than the two parties separ-
. ated.
Over tha brow of the hill away from
tha Harvey home, the officers turned to
Mrs. Nelson and asked her if sha ever
had seen any of the men before. '
. "Tetf," Mrs. Nelson said. "I have seen
one of them."
"Which, oner. , ,
"The driver," she answered "the one
Mr. Leonard talked to."

"Is he the man r asked Leonard, "to
whom you ranted tha room In whloh
you found the body of Barbara Holts
man T"
K "Yes, Mrs. Nelson replied!
Later, however, she was not so posi
tive. She said he seemed to resemble
the murderer In every way, but she
could not awear that Harvey was the
man. This morning she said:
"He was sitting down driving, you

know, and I couldn't tell positively how
tall, he was or whether he was bent and
stoop-shouldered."
When the automobile party' reached
Mllwaukie after the meeting with Har
vey. Mrs. Nelson said she was almost
positive Harvey was "the man."
"Would you swear on the witness
stand that he is' the man who rented
the room from you?" somebody asked.
She hesitated and then said she would
not.
Afraid to Kang Innocent Man.
"If he were hanged and was innocent
I would be a murderer," she said.
Shortly after the Holtzman murder
the Portland police got Mrs. Nelson to
prepare carefully a description of the
man who rented the room that Barbara
Holtiman's body was found In. She
said he was tall, but under six feet In
height, slender almost emaciated In ap
pearance with high cheek bones and
hollow cheeks, short black moustache,
dark hair with a fringe of gray, and
was stoop-shouldered. Sha said he was
between 45 and 60 years old. Harvey
answers this description to a dot.
Mrs. Nelson said when she was given
a chance to look at Harvey she could
not hear his voice because of the dron
ing of the auto's engine. She said she
thought If she could hear him talk
she could make a more positive state
ment one way or the other. ,
"XMohard OnlltleM" Mrs. Velsom,
Leond Lochard, the county rockpll
prisoner, who has been held as a Holts
man suspect. Is not th man, according
to Mrs. Nelson.
"The first time I saw him he waa be
hind tha bars and I did not get a good
look at him," sha said. "But when I
got a good look at him I knew he
couldn't be the man. I am positive about
this. He doesn't look anything like the1
man who rented the room from me."

"I was called into consultation with
Mr. Abel and Mr. Harvey sometime last
summer. Tha occasion of the consul
tation was the fact that Mr. Harvey
waa being accused by certain persons
of the Hill murder. Mr. Harvey stated
that these persons were constantly at
his place and had trampled over his
garden and nursery and were generally
a nuisance, and he further stated that
some of the officers and detectives told
him' that he would be arrested. He
wished to engage Mr. Abel and myself
to defend him in case an arrest was
made.
'Later he returned and aald the of
ficers were not molesting him and he
did not think any arrest would follow.
and therefore he would not need any
attorney. Mr. Harvey neither said or
did anything in my preaenoe which In
dicated that he waa guilty or knew any
thing about the Hill murder. I have
not seen Mr. Harvey for several months
and am not engaged aa his attorney.
Mr. Harvey did not pay me anything or
give me any security and only stated
tnat he wished to employ me in case
he was arrested at that time. The
statement that I had any security or
mortgage or fee is entirely without
foundation. Mr. Harvey neither did or
aald anything in my office indicating he
was anytning- but innocent."

some form or another to practically
everyone in the Ardenwald district.
There were a number of persons who
saw Harvey on the last car the night
oercre the killing of the Hills, and who
anow that he held back when his neigh
bors started down the road. Nearly
everyone who lives near the Harveys
knows of his repeated Insults to women
and his startling family history. Those
things of themselves would not convlot
Harvey, but we have evidence that we
believe settles his guilt beyond any
Levings would not say why the ar
rest was brought about Tuesday night
after Harvey had been shadowed for six
months, further than to say it was neo-
essary to arrest him this week. It has
been said that Harvey recently sold a
part of his Ardenwald property and had
told peopde he was planning to go to
Honolulu to live. It Is denied that this
waa the cause of his arrest this week,
however.
One of the most important links in
the evidence against Harvey would be
to show that he had blood-spotted
clothes In his possession. So far as is
known, no clothing that bears blood
stains has been found. It is said that
the suit he wore the day before the
murder has not been accounted for, but
Levings and Sheriff Mass refuse to af
firm or deny this.
HENRY HARVEY SAYS
GOSSIPS ARE TO BLAME
FOR BROTHER'S ARREST
Henry Harvey, a half-brother of Na
than Harvey, who is charged by Sheriff
Mass of Clackamas county with the
Hill murders, lays the responsibility for
the arrest of N. D. Harvey upon gos
siping neighbors.
'It Is the first time In our history
that a crime has been charged to any
of the Harveys," said he, "and It la un
believable that after living here as
good and respected citizens for 30 years
we should have this brought upon us.
My brother is one of the best men In
the world and was always doing good
deeds. They can have nothing against
him except circumstantial evidence and
there Is little enough of that Just that
he happened to be In town the night
before the killing.
"Why didn't the sheriff and the de
tective go at this case right in the first
place? If Sheriff Mass had been left
alone to handle the case himself I think
he would have caught the right man,
but outsiders came In and this Is the
result. There Is nothing against my
brother but the talk of a few jealous
neighbors and the work of officers who
are anxious to get the big reward of
fered. Wait until the time comes and
we will be able to tell them something
about the Hill case that they have never
found' out."
Henry Harvey hasa ranch near Gres
ham, but he has been making his home
with his brother Nathan almost ever
since the killing of the Hills praotl
cally since Nathan Harvey first knew
he was suspected of the murders. Henry
Harvey looks much like his brother
Nathan. He has been married, but is
divorced.
