as the courtroom gasped at the "unex

'Mrs. Caffee. after the introductory

events the day previous to the murder
of Mrs Alberta Meadows, whose body,
mutilated by tlows ef a hamster, was
found - on the lonely Montecito drive
near here;.
Mrs. Caffee, silent 'for a moment, re

"Mrs. Phillips bought the hammer,"

There was absolute stillness in ' the

has not violated any port laws?
Such is the legal question which
Portland police propounded to United
States Attorney Lester W. Humphreys,
after officers , on board the British
steamer Bermuda demanded the return
of their Chinee cook, Ro Chin, who
was arrested Thursday night on a
charge of selling a bottle of whiskey
'to Oscar Johnson, a longshoreman.
Thursday night, while working his
beat near the Albina dock, where the
vessel1 is moored. Patrolman J. J. For
kan was advised that a' Chinaman
aboard the steamer had been doing a
lfvely liquor business ajl day. Forkan
forgot his regular duties for awhile
and' watched the steamer until the
transaction was' made."
-When Forkan attemped to arrest Ro
China lively, fight fojjewed. in which
Other members of the craw are said to
have participated. Fortunately for
Forkan, & brother policeman happened
to arrive at the critical moment, and,
with his assistance, the sailors were
overpowered and the arrest completed.
Police say they arei not worrying
iuch about the demands of the offi
cers of the vessel, as they have the up
per hand in the argument by 'having
RO Chin behind, the bars. Only a writ
of habeas corpus will cause, them to re

Allen's Latin attire of corduroy and
pretty buttons created a stir last Sun

hit, in his own estimation- In- fact, he
considered himself so much of euc-j

Then Alien disappeared from Port'J

expensive touring car -of Robert Finn,

suspected of the theft arid his descrip

was given out to officials all over th'i

officials decided they had the man,
and took him into custody. Portland
police were . notified and late Thurs
