'Bean, and the statute provides that George shall be sentenced to the penitentiary for any period between 10 years and life. ' . Columbia George, who was brought .to Portland Thursday by pnlted States Marshal Montag, was convicted entirely 'on circumstantial evidence, but never theless the case was so strong that for five hours the Jury stood ll to I tor conviction Of first -degree muder, which would have meant the death penalty. Tl.e one stood out for manslaughter and to compromise, a.11 agreed upon the sec ond degree conviction. : One of the mpst sensational epistdea that the Portland federal court has wit nessed occurred 1- years ago when Co lumbia George was. tried and convicted for his last murder.' George and an In dian named Toy Toy were accused uf murdering Anna Edna by giving h)r "coyote medicine," namely strychnine, In whiskey. George was on the stand, and think ing that his telling he truth would vindicate him, he shouted-out the con fession that he had given the poisonous mixture to the squaw. His attorneys were dumfounded. On the other hand . Toy Toy had mixed the concoction and he felt that the mixing didn't Incrimi nate him in the crime. So fio ahout'el right back that he had mixed the stuff. The trial ended very shortly thereafter. Hoth were convicted on instructions from Judge Bellinger to.t.ie Jury, and were given life .sentences. Two years ago both were pardoned by President Tuft from the MeNeir-Island penitentiary. George went to drink ing, and a few months after he wa""re-h-ased, the crime for which he Is con vlcted was committed. At the trial, last week Toy Toy was a most Jarhrffclng witness against his old partner In crime, George at the time of the former trial, was convicted In the state courts of first degree murder anTT was sen tenced to hang. The case was later removed from the state courts on grounds of Jurisdiction. At the trial, just finished Columbia George made -no admissions. His ex treme stoicism surprised even members of his race. The conviction never caused him to move an eyelash. Ho expressed himself as satisfied. Over at the. federal prison in Pug-et sound, George was the shoemaker, and when he left there two years ago, there was general regret, ' for the old Indian waa the best cobbler the pent' tentlary has ever had. - George said that he killed the squaw 11' years ago because Bhe . exerted "bad medicine" over him and caused him to . have a strange illness.
