The Gods on mUnl'nu fi revengeful -eves
Our citrons were startled jctcrday morn
log by a repoit i..ch spread likcwildtirc
that a dicovcrv had been made of all the
particulars in regard to the, murder of the man
whose body was found in the river below the
city on November 2.".th. Our readers will
recollect the aicount of the horrible affair as
published in the Stamukk, and how the
body lay for a lone time at the morgue, w here
was also exhibited the huge s'one weighing
nearly a hundred pounds which was fastened
to it, and the wire with which the legs were
bound. Coroner tiaruold and Imtnet At
torney Caples, aided by the police, niade
every effort to discos cr the perpetrators of
this foul murder. It was ascertained that
ex-policeman T. J. Oillis, while gou g hunt
ins early on the morning of Sunday, October
30th, had seen n hack standing on Nicolis
wharf near the It-vver bonejard, wlure the
body w as found neirly a month after, but as
it was dark at the time he was unab'e to
identify either the hack or the driver, to
whom "he spoke, asking him what he wa
doing there, to winch he replied that he
brought a passenger for a steamer. All other
clues, when traced up, ended in netlnn? x
cept that the body was identified by a nsi
dent of East I'oitlanl as that of oneJ-lin
Andros, a miner, aud as such it was
atiast buned. Iu order to give our readers
clear understanding of all the circumstances
in connection with the atrocious crime, we
will go back to last October, at which time
there armed in this city a man who regis
tered at the National hotel as Jai ics X
Brown, of Freepoit, W. T. A few davs after
his arm al he met Constable Simmons on tne
street and complained that he had been duped
by one Dollv Adam;, w horn he had met at an
infamous elen kept by Came Bradlej, on
Third street between Yamhill and TaUr,aud
bilked out of SO He ace mpanted Simmons
to Justice Daws and swore out a warrant for
the am st of the cut, and she waB examined
before the justice" and held to answer bef re
the grand jur. While the case wa3 under in
vestigation bj this body, sufficient testimony
was elicited to warrant Assistant District At
torney in making a complaint against Carrie
Bradley and two denizens of her house, Dolly
Adams and Fay Cuslnng, for keeping a house
of ill fame, which complaint was sworn to by
Brown, who was also put under bonds of S25
to appear as a w itness against them. He was
around the court house waiting for the case to
be reached from October 25th to the 25th, on
which date he disappeared. During these
day ke became familiar w ith the officials at
y frttuA house, wheyri'lthongh they failed
-. tme.Jgnizi! the bodtf at the'morgue; were
iS'!.i'adsenthe-ffian m life, and are
nbsT-rtafH'lt was that ot Brown. As it was
notStill the 2jtb ef November that the body
was found in the river, no oae thought of
connecting it with the man who had so
MVSTERIorSLY DISAPPEARED,
And who w as supposed to have been bribed
to leave town by the parties against w horn he
had complained. Some weeks since Sim
mons was emplojed by Dolly Adams, who
had quit Came Bradley's place, to go there
and obtain possession of her trunk. Carrie
refused to let it go, stating that Dolly owed
her 860, but on Simmons threatening to take
Jegal proceedings Bhe allowed the trunk to be
taken aw ay. When informed of the circum
stances Dolly sa d that she owed Carne noth
ing, and that she knew enough about her to
end her to the gatlow s. This set Simmons
to puzzling, over the matter. A short time
after Carrie Bradley was arraigned in the po
lice court on one ot the frequently recurring
charees of robberry, and in course of tier ex
amination Mr. Mulkey asked her "why she
ran off the man who had made that complaint
against her before the grand jury " (alluding
to Brown). At this query she started, turned
pale, all her brazen assurance seemed
to forsake her and she trembled like
One whose guilty conscience had been
pierced to the quick. Almost immediate!
after this she began to make preparat.ons for
leaving the city. She was under bonds to
appear in the Circoit Court to answer to
three indictments for keeping a baudy house,
and District Attorney Caples, w ho had kept,
posted on all the movements in the matter,
allowed the bondsmen to bo idemnified and
her to depart, believing that when she was
gone her accomplicies could be more
READILY WOKhED CPO.V
And induced to divulge the secrets of the
horrible deed which it was now deemed cer
tain had been done at her Tile resort. Chas
Hamilton, a notorious rough, well known
here and in San Francisco as an associate of
thieves and the most abandoned characters,
who had been her paramour, scenting danger
in the air, had left the city some time before,
and she took with her an a traveling com
panicn one Lavine, a saloon-keeper at the
north end, who had supplanted him, and
they departed ostensibly for San Francisco,
but went to Kalama and thence to the
Hound. After she was gone Simmons set to
work to obtain from Dolly Adams the
knowledge which he was certain she had con
earning the mnrder. It was a work re
quiring all the skill, patience and persistency
he possessed, but he never faltered and on
Friday night he had the satisfaction of bring
intr Dolly Adams and Molly Flippen
before District Attorney Caples, to whom
they revealed the full particulars of one of tin
blackest crimes that 1ms ever disgraced the
annals of our city. On the evening ot Octobei
29th, the day on which Brown was last seen
at the court house, he was
ENTICED TO DKAULKY's DEK
By a gambler named I'ete Sullivan, on tlu
pretense that an amicable settlement of their
trouble was desired by her. He was received
in a friendly manner and induced to partake
of whisky, in which laudanum, procured bv
Dolly, had been mixed, until lie was consul
erably under tho influence of this opiate
When quite stupifled ho was taken up stain
by tlioau present aud put to bed, and farm
Bradley, saturating a towel with chlrrfori
placed it at his nostrils, where she held it for
a time and then lett her helpless and iuM-nsi-
ble victim to sleep the sleep which knows no
waking. Dolly Adams, in tho morning, dis
covered that Brown was dead, and proposed
to send for tho coi oner, but Carrio said no,
and proceeded to tho chamber where her vie
.,. i.v. nm). Animated bv the fiendish spirit
of a ghoul, brutally beat the inanimate body
with a pair of brass knuckles, with which she
had armed herself, hurling nt it the foulest
epithets her depraved nature could suggest
and exclaiming, " The black son of a b h,
l,n ill niv-cr ne.-ich on mo acain." She then
stripped the body of the greater pirt of tho
clothing, which she carried down stairs and
burned, and it was owing to this fact in a
great measure tint the body, when discovered,
was not identified. Shortly afterward the
bodv was taken down stairs, a vvide board
removed from the kitchen floor, and it was
placed in tho cavity beneath, where it lay all
tht day, water being poured over it from
time to time, to prevent, in somo measure,
rapid decomposition. A shovel was procured
ami Carrio esajed to dig a gravo, in which
to 1 ide the ghastly evidence of her crime, but
the ground was too hard and this plan was
abandoned. Then she called to her aid her
mfvnous paramour, Hamilton, and accomplice,
Sullivan. Hamilton turned tho fact of his
hiving at one time had charge o the hack
stand of the Occidental Hotel at San Fran
eiseo to good account. He knew the man he
needed and found mm in one .lacK rumr-iicy,
an ex-hack driver, who, for the sum of S100,
consented to assist lum in the dl'POSil of the
bodv. 1 hcv hired a hack from a min named
Bak'cr about rridnight on Saturday, under
pretense of taking a passenger to the slcuncr,
in which thev placed the boil) of tho mur
dered man and elrove rapidly off to the north
end of the city, stopping on their way to take
from a pile of ballast rock the )ar:o stone-
which, when they had arrived at mo iinnv
pot selected, was fastened to the corpse, and
under cover of thedarknes both were dropped
into the tilent waters of the Willamette,
which they hoped would forev er hide all the
TUCKS OF THEIR CRIMF..
The circumstances attending the discover
of the body are familiar to our readers.
The costs of this attempt to shield them
selves fiom the discovery amounted toSloO,
all of which Carrie insisted that Dollv
Adams should pay, saying that the fact of
her bilking Brown was what had brought on
all the trouble which had culminated in the
murder. Dollv had p-iid $90 of the sum bo
fore s e left Bridlcy, and it was on
account of her rciusal to be
blackmailed into paving the remaining 500
that led to a controvetsv between tne women,
and which eventually gave C ustiblc Mm
moiis the tangible clue th it he I as so success
fully worked to a close. "When thieves fall
out, just men eet their dues," ami when lewd
women have rovvi, no secret is too sacrml for
their kceing. Wo have alreadv spoken
of the departure of Hamilton an l
Carr c Braille) . Pete Sullivan als left the
cit) some time sni"e, and shortly afti r Jack

eit) has been greatl) excited over thee reve
latiou", and numeious rumors are in circula
tion It is stated that Dod) Adams appeared
before the grand juiy and voluntarily told
them the story above narra'cd. Another ru
mor is that Carrie Bradley was
CAPTl'KtP Ij: DIsGl'I-h
At l'ort Townsend last night. Drummers
just from Victoria say they saw her there last
Sunday, and she stated that she w as going to
San Francisco on the steamer Idaho. Another
report is that Hamilton was last heard of at
.Mazatlan, notwithstanding wnicn, it is sup
posed he is with his partner in crime at Vic
toria, or at fartherest, at San Francisco,
where it is said he was King m wait to rob
Carrie, on her arrival there, ot 5.J..KW, winch
she had in her possetsieu when she left here.
We onjitted to state in the proper place
Hit on the nmht the bodl. of the
murdered man was taken from the house
Carrie had given all the inmates of the house
monev and sent them to the White House
to "make a night of it, and be
out of the way. In conclusion
we will state that the man
was murdered on Friday, the bodv
was found on Friday, was buried on
Friday, the exposure of the crime was made
to the District Attorney on Friday, and it is
to be hoped that the guilty parties may he
captured and hanged on a rnuay.
Carrie Bradley had been at one time a fine
looking woman, but dissipation has robbed
her of its last trace. She came here from
New York four or five years ago, where her
associates were notorious thieves, with a
"shover of the queer, named Charley rurst,
whom Bhe claimed fur a time as her husband,
and tried the married woman racket. After
she had grown tired of this miserable wretch
whose nature is so depraved that we cannot
even refer to it in print more denuiteiy. She
beaan a war of persecution upon him, and
after having lum arrested some twenty Urnes
he "lit out in self-defense, leaving Hamil
ton in sole possession or the held. It was then
that a gang of "thugs" took possession
of her house as "lovers" gentlemen
who carried brass knuckles, and who were
none too grod to "hang up a sucker, and
"croak" him if need be--and tiie pande
monium beean. Many a respectable man,
and not unfrequently a married man, has
beu robbed and beaten by these wretches,
and taunted with it, they knowing that any
person of the'least respectability would rather
lose any amonnt of money than have his name
associated with such a tile place. Hardly a
night passed that
THESE PROFESSIONAL HLCOOKIW
Did not get in their work on some victim; and
one of the girls says that she was once shown
in the kitchen a man all cut about the head
and body with knives, whom Came Bradley
would not allow her to assist, and whom
she strongly suspects soon after died,
as she never heard of him again. Beyond all
doubt Carne Bradley's den was the most infa
mous that has ever disgraced this ity, as the
annals of the police court will plainly tell, nor
can they tell a tithe of its horrors.
Thank goodness this hell-hole ha
been wiped cut, and we trmt that the
murderers of the farmer, J. N. Brown, maybe
soon brought to justice and made, with all
the accessories, before and after the fact, to
suffer the fullest extent of the law. A
blacker crime has never been committed here.

the sheriff entered to place the prisoners in
their tells for tho night, and hu was then in
formed by McDonough and a Chinimin, who
rcunined, that the i thcrs had just esc iik-iI,
but as it was so dark tint it would be impos
sible to find them, the word was immediate 1
civ en and the officer proceeded to scan h the
town to see if they ciuld find the escaped
cniniti-tls, but up to the time we go to presi,
no w ord has reached this office of a success . u
the part ot the officers.
The nan ei ot the persons, siys the Watt

the name of Campbell, sent from the justices

knowing the pit-ties, or either ono of them,
should return them to the county jail, they
would be amply reimbursed for their trouble.
Bcunt to Df.ath. On Fnnday last, about
nooi', saj s the Oregon City Enterprhr, a most
distressing accident occurrcel at Highland. A
man named Gnndstaff n nnfortunaty the

During the absence of the parents, these girls
were playing with the fire in tho open fire
place, and the elder ono applied a burning
stick to the cotton dress of the younger one
"jjst for fun." The flames quickly spread
over her, and in a few minutes she was burnt
almost be)Oud recognition, the poor child
hid inhaled the flames from her burning cloth
ing, and the tortures she suffered from burns
external and internal were excruciating. She
lingered until Monday evening when death
fortunately came to lu r relief . '1 ho girls have
always been childishly harmless, and it has
never been considered indiscreet to leave them
in the house alone. h cry ono in the vicinity
sympathics with the grief-stricken parents.
Splendid Iocation. Mr. Donald Macleay
has purchased of John Green a tract of land
containing 10 acres, l)ing east of the resi
dencj of If. Green and adjoining the city
park, for the sum of 30,000. The land was
no't purchased as a speculation, hutas a per
manent investment, and it is the intention of
Mr. Macleay at sometime within year or
two to erect thereon a residence, which shall
correspond with the extent and beauty of the
location, which is one of the most sightly ami
picturesque in the city.
Oreoon'b MiseraLjWealth. In the mat
ter of precious metals taken from the earth
the pist jear, Oregon, for a comparatively
undeveloped State, has done well. From the
annual statistics furnished by Wells, Fargo &
Co . we find that Oregon has produced $1,
189,015, as follows: Gold, $1,140,031; silver,
848,084. Tho amount of i Id shipped by ex
press was 5500,031. The Baker City Trihune
predicts the next annual statement will be
morc than double the amount of the last.
Normal School. Oregon needs a normal
tohool, says the Albany Democrat, and it is
the duty of every citizen who favors the ad
vancement of our educational interests to in-
dorre all measures which will bring about the
establishment of such a school, it is becom
ing more and moce evident every day that the
class of teachers in our public schools needs to
be bettered. This can only be done1 by es
tablishing a school in which young man and
women are trained for that business, the same
as they are in order to enter any of the pro
fessions. Died. J. Van Beurden, who has only been
sick a few dajs of pleuro-pneumonia, died
Thursday evening. He was a native of Bel
gium, agod .1.) years, and has been a resident
of this city about seven years. He leaves a
wife and two children. He was a most esti
mable gentleman, who has made friends dur
ing his resident here, and was an esteemed
member of the Catholic Church, and was well
and favorably known in musical circles.
Dead and Buried. The Chinaman Ah
Yeck, who wai tiken from the Insane Asylum
to the pest house some time since, suffering
from smallpox, died on Thursday forenoon.
He had been sick 18 days with the dread
disease, His remains were buried in a re

then took the boy to the barber's shop in thu

and give him a bath. When this was douu ho
took tho boy to his room and gave lum some
good fatherly advice, sending lum away with
an additional present in the way of small coin
to spend at Christmas. When tho boy re
turned to his mother he was scarcely recog

out through thu bai bcr, to tho great disgust
of the distir.guuhcd gentleman, who, as a

conversation on the suhjoot, that he believed

bo summed up as f61lows : Hallways have the
power to tax our industries at will, as there it

Wurreii asked a road to give him thu samu

points, whereas, if thu manufacturer had the
benefit of tho cluap real estate of country
towns, and tho fresh air for his employees aud
their children, business would be moru evenly
distributed."
In speaking of the power of the General
Assembly in the premises, Colonel Brigham
said:
"We cannot reach the press, nor the pulpit,
nor private individuals, but we cun prohibit
othciats from placing themselves under obliga
tious to corporations, Wo can prohibit the
watering of stock, discrimination ami extor

decided iu the Granger cases from the West
that Legislative bodies may control railway
