cation of the suit and award of the
amount of damages over to Judge Bel
linger, whose indignant protest on the
finding of the $17,500 verdict in the sec

"My arrest is the result of tho failure
of one of the most contemptible) black
mailiug Echemes ever attempted in this
Btate of Oregon," said Mr. Tnffo. "This
man Charles Bratton, a juror in the
trial of tho suit of the government
against myself in the Celilo boat railway
proceedings, was a veritable leech on mo
during the trial.
"Some five weeks ago, following tho
rendering of the verdict in tho second
trial, he met me at my hotel during a
visit to Portland, and asked of me that
I lend him $100.
"I told him that I had not $100 with
me, and it J Had, J knew of no reason
why I should lend it to him.
" 'Well, you had better give it to me,'
he replied.
"There was something in his voice
that nettled me, and I told him in short
language ho could go to ."

"I have been arrested on this charge,
and all I ask Is a quick and prompt
trial," said Kiifeather. this afternoon,
"I desire a speedy hearing, through hav
lug the knowledge that with llm very
