Indian Convicted Twelve Years
Ago of Killing; Then as Nov.
.Victim Squawi
For the second lime In 12 yeara, Co
lumbia George, a Umatilla Indian,, will
be In ihe United States district court
, , room In the postofflce building to re.
celve a sentence for the crime of mur
,der. George, at Pendleton last week,
following a highly sensational trial of
-; nine days.-waM convicted of the second
degree murder of Tl-Mot, a squaw ol
his ame tribe. v
1 v The trial heard by Federal Judge
It. 8. '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.

"As a representative of the Oregon
Development league and Portland
Commercial club, embracing about 100
industrial and commercial organiza
tions of the State of Oregon, I espe
cially urge upon you support of the
plan of building a large seagoing
dredge for operation at the mouth of
the Columbia river. -We believe the
need most urgent. From the engineer

lieve the consensus of opinion Is for
a large dredge, of the most efficient
type, by means of which It is clear
to us that there will soon cease to
be a bar problem at the mouth of the
Columbia river'
With copies Of the letters, the Cham

day, a statement explaining that some
weeks ago it commenced a study to
determine the size and type of dredge
that might properly be used on the
Columbia river bar, and that the con

dredge, as large or larger than the
Leviathan, at work on the Mersey bar
at the Port of Liverpool.

of the Leviathan type will quickly
