Bert Franklin, detective accused of

JUa,A,nelt. 1. "I absolutely
and unqualifiedly deny that I ever was
, In an automobile with Assistant Dls-
trict Attorney W. J. Ford, or that I
ever employed In any way by the
district attorney's office. All pub
lished reports of such matters are ab
solutely untrue," This was the state
ment today of Bert H. Franklin,
cnargea witn Bribing a McNamara
Juryman when questioned regarding a
confession he was said 'to have made
and a report that he would appear as a
witness against Clarence Darrow, who
also is charged with bribery.
Franklin declined either to deny or
auiiirm ut reputed confession, declar
in that any statement regarding It
would Influence his own case.

IiO Angeles, Jan. 31. That Bert H.
Franklin, on January 14, made a de
tailed confession to Assistant District
Attorney W. J. Ford, implicating Clar
ence Darrow and others, and that he
will be the state' chief witness when
Darrow Is brought to trial under two
indictments in connection with the al-
"I Will never go to the nenltentlarr.
"Anything that Mr. Ford says you
may use with safety.
"If I go on the witness stand t shall
tell the whole truth; 1 won't perjure
myself for anyone."
Will Sot Discuss Ca.se.
Ford refused either to affirm or
deny the report, saying that he could
not try his case in the newspapers, and
xor mat reason could not discuss the
auegea concession.
According to the report, Franklin
confessed to Ford while riding In an
automobile with a third man. This
man, whose name Is withheld, is sntd tn
be a Chlcagoan, and likely to figure
piuiiiineniiy in me .Darrow trial.
Immunity Believed Promised.
The report further sav. that w.v
lin will gain immunity for appearing
for the state; that his 110,000 bonds
win dc recalled, so that he may be re
leased on his own recognizance within
the next 48 hours. He probably will
go to Chicago for the state.

(Special to Tn Journal 1
Pendleton. Or.. Jan. 81. The defense
n the Mabel Warner trial scored a point
today when Dave Lavender, manager of
the Young estate before the death of
Young, declared a letter Introduced by
the state as one written by Young to
is niece, Nora Watts, was not In
Young's handwriting and the signature
was not Youngjs. However, this was
the only admission made In favor of
the defendant, while the witness
randed the fourth will as a forgery.
The first sensation wus sprung late
yesterday afternoon when District At-
orney Van Vector-suddenly demanded
t the defense produce three other
wills subsequent to the fourth. Attor
ney Johnson for the defense replied by
asking that the state produce one of
these, to whjch the names of J. B. Perry
and c. C. Hendricks are affixed as wit
nesses. The second of these, to which
It is said the names of Louis Hunzlker
and Peter West are signed, Johnson re
fused to produce, but the third he placed
on record. This Is dated November 22
1909, four years after the death of
Young, and makes Mrs. Warner, her
brother, Fred Young and her brother's
wife heirs. The names of Dr. F. Watts
and B. B. Hall are signed as witnesses.
This makes seven wills that have ap
peared since the death of Young. The
trial is making slow headway, despite
the fact that night sessions are being
held. Only 10 of the 70 witnesses have
so far been called, and much time is
taken up by each In Identification of
documents.
RESIGNATION MAY BE
ASKED BY THE MAYOR
Mayor Rushlight said today that he
would probably ask for the resignation
of Superintendent Andy Vaughn of the
Linnton rock quarry. He said that he
might ask for the resignation of other
employes of the city at the quarry also.
His decision was taken after reading
the, .report of . tb.e.j5Q.unty..stsa,nd..-iiiiB
in wnicn cnarges were made that lax

that their cards would have to be

'We have always been in favor of a
union depot." said President J. D. Far

association, yesterday.
The committee met with President

Manager O'Brien and Chief Engineer

union depot at the head of the park
blocks In conformity with the Greater
Portland plan.
Air. Karrell added that for some time
the matter of a Joint arrangement be
tween the Hill end Harriman lines In
the construction of a union depot' that
would serve the traffic needs of the
growing city had been under considera
tion, and that his company was desir
ous of removing any obstacles In tho
way of bringing about such a plan.
Monday the committee met with Pres
ident Carl R. Gray of the Hill line
In Oregon, presenting the union depot
pian.
Plan Is Feasible.
With the union depot at the head
of the park blocks Portland would have
the most beautiful and Imposing gats
way among all the cities of the United
btates," declared F. II. Ransom, chair
man of the committee.
It developed during the two confer
ences that absolutely no engineering
difficulties would prevent tho construc
tion of a union depot. Both railroads
como into the city along the river. All
tho ground under consideration is rail
road property. No plan for separate de
pots, or for a union depot has yet been
definitely made by either of the rail
roads. Those participating In the con
ference were Chairman Ransom, Post
master Charles B. Merrick, president of
the Greater Portland Plans association:
C. T. Frail. D. O. Lively. F. V. Holman,
J. C. Ainsworth, Francis S. Alkus and
the secretary of tho association.
Definite plans for the military organ

That the contract now in existence
between the city and the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power company for
lighting does not prevent the city from
letting contracts to other companies for
new business is the substance of an
opinion filed by City Attorney Frank
S. Grant today.
The contract referred to was signed
by both parties concerned July 3,1909,
nnd will continue In effect until Decem
ber 31. 1913. It provides that the com-
jmnj iiiui luiniMfi current ror lezo arc
lights at the rates stipulated in the con
tract.
While the opinion of the city attorney
seemingly clears the way for competi
tion for additional street lights to be
installed herearter, it Is nevertheless to
be conceded that the Portland Railway
Light & Power company has an.edere
on possime rivals for the reasoifthat
Its wires and poles are already Installed
and if bids should be invited It would
be able to submit a lower price than
any competitor, covering arc llghta

Under the provisions of ordinance
fro. Z4.190 the executive board Is ad
vised, concludes the city attorney's
opinion, -mat it has the right to ad
vertise for bids and enter into a con
tract for lighting the city, either by gas
or electricity, notwithstanding the con
tract now In existence between the city
and the Portland Railway Light & Pow
er company. In my opinion the com
pany has no exclusive right under the
said contract to light the city of Port
land. It is only required to furnish a
speciric number of lights, to wit, 1620.'
Anticipating the city atornev's onin
Ion, the company has already agreed to
Install a number of arc lamps that have
long been petitioned for by residents in

Rev. Pclmar II. Trimble, pastor of
the Centenary Methodist church on
the east side, was before the grand
Jury this morning to explain some of
his remarks Sunday evening about dis
trict Attorney Cameron. For more than
an hour did the jurymen listen to the
minister, who told them some things
about the district attorney that ho
later Bald could not be given the press.
In his Sunday evening sermon Rev"
Trimble said that Mr. Cameron's action
In seeking reelection is astonishing in
the face of his record.
"Hia effrontery is only exceeded by
his Incompetency." said the minister.
Local social evil was blamed upon the
district attorney's administration.
'.'Mr. Cameron is after me, and we
shall nee who comes out ahead," sald
Rev. Trimble this morning. "I only
used my right as a cltiion to crltl
cize what I think Is wrong."

Beaten to insensibility by her hus
band, Mrs. Grace V. Brown returned to
semi-consciousness at St. Vincent's hos
pital today and remembered the awful
scenea of last night's quarrel and flht
at their home at 126 Kast Twenty-ninth
street north. But she does not know
that when her husband thought he had
murdered her he placed a shotgun to
nis temple and blew the too of his henrt
off, and that his body Is now lying in
the morgue.
Mrs. Brown, who is 26 years old, Is
but partially conscious nnd Is In a dan
gerous condition. Her husband, Charles
E. Brown. 32 years old. beat her with a
heavy Iron tool, used in the grocery
store he conducted at 91 Grand avenue
as a hammer and box opener. She fell
beneath his blows. It Is believed Brown
thought he had killed the woman.
Just what the, trouble was has not
been learned but It is thought to have
arisen from a dispute over their four-year-old
daughter. Merlin. Shortly af
ter nine o'clock last night neighbors
heard the couple quarreling and Just af
ter ten o'clock a shot was heard.
Mrs. W. E. Brown, a next door nuls.
bor but no relation to the couple, heard
the shot and notified the police station
and Dectectlves Lltherland, Van Overn
and Patrolman Evans were sent to the
place. Entrance could not be gained un
til the officers fcroke down tho rear
door. The unconscious woman was
found lying on the bed, with the tiny
girl kneeling by her side, sobbing hard.

a trunk and by placing It between his
knees, held It firmly until he pulled the
trigger which ended his life.
The woman was rushed to Rt. Vln.
cent's hospital where several bad scalp
wounds were dressed and where It was
found that she had been badly choked.
Her arms were covered with bruises.
The Injuries had evidently been re
ceived attempting to protect herself
rrom the blows administered bv br

Mrs. Brown, the neighbor, took th
child and is caring for it. For several
years Brown had been in the grocery
business.

quent An effort will be made tomor

companies by levying upon their property.
Deputy Dennlson says franchises are

question should be taxed. He opines
that if tne taxes are not paid the reg
ular course of collecting taxes will be
followed. Sheriff Stevens this morning
went before the county court and re
ported that the Postal Telegraph com

will pay the tax, as the eastern office
has not answered In this regard. The
sheriff notified each of the three com

requested time. The county court re
fused, to give its consent to the con
tinuance. County Judge Cleoton said
that he would not change his word in
the matter, but If the sheriff wished
to do so he was at liberty.

Italian who disappeared from his home
Sunday would never be found alive was
made , here today by Detective Longn
bardl, leading the police in the search.
The parents of the missing boy refuse
to give out' any Information' concern
ing the disappearance, fearing the black
hand. ' . , .
Indictments pending against him dis
missed, as a condition to testify against
a man who had no direct connection
with the institution, and who owed no
official duty to either th depositors
or the officers of the bank. It was
the duty of Morris to protect the as
sets of the bank.
"For the court to acquiesce In dis
missing these indictments under such
conditions, knowing aa It does this
man'B responsibility and his conduct
as an official of that bank, and the
suffering he has caused by his pecula
tions, would be putting a premium on
dishonesty In high, finance, and for
these and other reasons not necessary
to mention, the court cannot conscien
tiously comply with the request of the
district attorney."
