MAN
SAYS HE
SAW STRANGER
WITH RISTMAN
( Continued i Tom Pa ire One)
short time later, Ristman, his machine
and tha stranger were gone. Johnson
now fixes the time' at about 7 o'clock.
Turner, who also saw a stranger the
same night talking with Ristman, Is
not as positive in his statements as to
Thompson's Identity as is Johnson.
Neither is Engle, who Is said to hav
seen Ristman In his machine accom
panied by a stranger stop at a gasoline
filling station in South Portland th
same day.
According to Sheriff Reeves, how
ever, both of these two men say that
Thompson bears a strong resemblance
to the stranger they say they saw
with Ristman.
Syes Puszl Two Men.
"All of th men who have seen
Thompson and who saw the stranger
with Ristman seem to pay more at
tention to the eyes of Thompson than
anything else," said Sheriff Reeves.
"There appears to he something about
his eyes which gives them th im
pression that Thompson and the
stranger are one and the same man.
"Johnson, who says he is m or ail
certain that Thompson is the man. Is
very careful In his statements. He

fit of a doubt, and even after It saw
Tnorapson he took hi time about say
ing that h was morally certain' that
Thompson was the man he Sad sesn
last Monday nlghfcS
With th statement of Johnson, Sher
iff Reevesnow aays that th circum
stantial evidence against Thompson is
greatly strengthened. Ha points to
the bloody shirt found near th seen
of the murder and th undershirt taken
from Thompson's horn last Saturday
afternoon as forming another link in
th chain against Thompson.
Spots on Bhlrt Compared.
The nndershlrt taken from the home
was being washed by Mrs. Jim Thomp
son, with whom Bennett Thompson had
been living. Th woman 1 tha formeY
wife of Bennett Thompson's brother.
This undershirt had several peculiar
looking spots on th sleeves and on
the back, and according to- th officers
resembled blood spots. An examina
tion was made of the shirt by Bertillon
Expert Hunter, but the spots could not
be positively identified a being blood
spots.
Sheriff Reeves says that h has com
pared th blood spots on th outside
shirt with the odd looking pot on the
undershirt, and that they are at out in
corresponding positions.
"As near as I can Judge, or th oth
ers who have seen th two shirts, can
determine, th blood Boots on th out
aid shirt ar In th same position as
the spots on th undershirt.
"The undershirt was ' placed inside
the outside shirt and then the two were
examined carefully. There ar spots
on th back of both 'shirts and spots
on th sleeve. '
A thorough "blood test" is to be
mad of the undershirt, however, to de
termine whether or not the spot on
the garment ar blood spots.
Statements Ar accorded.
Th statements of Johnson, Turner
and Engle were taken down in the
presence of District Attorney Tongue
and Sheriff Reeves or Washington
county. Deputy Sheriff Phillips, who
took the men to Hillsboro, stayed out
of the room when the examination was
made,
"I anted to b sure that no state
ment were made that any coercing
waa done, or that, as far a I was con
cerned that there would be no grounds
for auch statements," said Phillips.
"I figured that Thompson should have
every chance, and, for this reason, pur
pooely otayed away when the men
scrutinized Thompson and later made
their statements to Mr. Tongue
"I Bbw know, however, what took
place. Johnson, Turner and Engle
were taken into the jail in which half
a dozen men are confined. They were
told to pick out the man they had seen
or the man who resembled th man
they had seen talking with "Frenchy"
(Ristman). Thompson was th man
they picked out of the little crowd of
prisoners.
Johnson, Turner and Engle came
back to Portland this afternoon with
Deputy Sheriff Phillips.
Thompson Xamalna Cool.
Sheriff Reeves, who saw the three
men scrutinize Thompson, says that
the suspect took the scrutiny very
coolly.
"He was very cool," said Reeves,
"and had nothing to say. He doesn't
talk to us at all now."
Roscoe Hurst, Thompson's attorney,
steadfastly contends that Thompson is
not the man who murdered Mrs. Jen
nings, and who is responsible for Rist.
man being missing. Hurst had a long
talk with Thompson yesterday after
noon, going to Hillsboro for that pur
pose. "They have the wrong man." said
Hurst today. "Thompson Is perfectly
willing to stay in Jail this week and
let the officers do what they can. At
the end of ttuwt time, unless something
is oone, l snail start proceedings to get
Thompson out of Jail."

ROSEBURG STRONGLY
OF
TO BIG TIMBER TRACT
Bond Issue of $300,060 to
Finance Kendall Project Is
Favored by Voters,
Roselburg, Or., May 23. The election
held Monday for the purpose of amend
ing the charter to permit Issuing of
bonds in the sum of $300,000 for the
construction of a railroad to Rock
Creek in the timber district east of
Roseburg, carried by a vote of 651
to 94.
A bond issue voted a year ago for
the same purpose was declared void
by the Oregon supreme court onv ac
count of irregularities' In the contract
with S. A. Kendall of Pittsburg, who
promoted the proposition and who has
been given the contract to build the
road.
Before leaving for th east some
week ago, Mr. Kendall said work on
the road would be started by June 15,
providing the charter amendment
passed.
It is expected now that work will be
under way in less than a month.
Medford Voting Today.
Medford, Or., May 23. Medford is
voting today on a proposition to Issue

mining district railroad. The fight
has grown bitter in the laat few days.

attempt to divert public attention to

speaker's eye. Sinnott .lo haa In
mfnd other amendments which sre
neeled to perfect the bill from his
standpoint.
Sinnott expects to-address the House
at some length on the general featurta
of the legislation. Approving the
measure in principle, he will endeavor
to show that the public lands commit
tee is mistaken in Its report In saying
that Oregon has been given extremely
liberal treatment. This he is expected
to do by analyzing the bill with refer
ence to the sums set aside for Oregon
schools and roads, and with reference
to the timber sale and homestead pro
visions that tend to defer the dateof
actual entry and date of taxation.
Under the plan of consideration
agreed upon by the leaders. It is ex
pected that practically a full day will
be allowed for debate. Th house
probably will meet at 11 o'clock, and
under the rules, two hours will-be al
lowed for general debate. Durlnst this
time remarks on the general features
of the bill will be offered. Chairman
Ferris probably wl.l moke the opcnlns
statement, and several members put
side of Oregon are expected to be
heard. Lenroot of Wisconsin will like
ly control the time on th Republican
side, as he is the ranking member of
the committee.
After the general debate comes the
reading of the bill by sections, when
amendments may be offered and voted
upon. This la done in committee of
the whole, in which there is no oppor
tunity for a record vote, but in which
a count by tellers may be had on any
closely contested point.
It is understood that tha bill is to be
disposed of in the one day. Debate on
amendments, confined to five minutes
for each speaker, may thus run on
until a late hour rn the afternoon, and
It Is thought unlikely that a finsl vote
on the bill will be reached before 5 or
6 o clock. It is unlikely, also, that
the bill will be materially' changed
from the form In which It if reported
by the committee, although it will be
under a broadside of amendments In
the afternoon.

cents on shipments to Minneapolis.

such policy. The commission gives the
