I Kanaga, F. 33. "Wiuton and Messrs.
i Ellwood and Holcomb for the defense.
The defense adduced no testimony.
The prosecntion placed on the stand
1 C. C. Pratt, formerly of this city, who
! w;is one or the men who discovered
. Frederickson's body.
I He said that the body of the man
was found on the 2oth of March; the
body or the woman on tho 29th; could
I not state on whose fann the body of
the man was found. The body of the
woman was found by the hog pen on
the Pose ranch, or about eighteen
inches from the hog pen, and about
sixty feet from the dwelling house.
When the bodv of the man was ex
humed. F. O. Peed, J. S. Pickett, D.
Louderback, IL .T. Wiegardt, F. O.
lredericson, John Anderson, and a
son of Mr. Pickett were with him.
It w:is about dark when the body of
the mau was removed. It was late
in the afternoon when the body of the
woman was removed. The body of
the man was taken to the beach in
front or the Pose ranch and guarded
through the night. In the morning it
was put on board a plunger and
conveyed to Pay Center, and put in
the engine house of the cannery and
guarded until the arrival of the cor
oner. The body of the woman was
taken on the beach, convenient to run
ning water, where it was washed, and
afterwards removed in a plunger
to Pay Center. It was taken to the
engine house, and afterwards decently
buried.
Cross examinatien: "What premises
did von first search in looking for the
body?
I Premises that were said to have
j been occupied by a mau by the name
of Frederickson.
I Describe the portion of the premises
1 over which you searched.
The immediate vicinity of the dwell
ing where the mau -was said to have
resided was low and marshy.
What was the condition or the
premises, and what did you find?
Premises were not occupied, articles
were found about the house indicat
ing that parties had lived there.
However I paid no attention to arti
cles found. Searched the beach in
front of the Pose premises, slaughter
house and other bnildings.
Did youlind tools at Frederickson's?
Found a 10 foot pole, saw no other
tools.
Witness here said that he had been
on the premises live different times
The Y.M.C A. last night, at their searching for the bodie3. On the
erickson to meet me in about two
weeks. Told John Pose this, thatj
Frederickson was to move me. John
Pose told me, the less I had to do
with the Fredericksons the better I
was off. Stayed one night on tho
ranch with George Pose and Edwards.
Left for Astoria; was gone about three
weeks, and on my return Frederickson
was to meet me with a batteau when
the steamer whistled. Saw the batteau
on my return, and asked George Pose
how it came there. He said Frederick
son had put it there as agreed. John
Pose never mentioned the disapear
auce of Frederickson and his wife to
me. Had heard that John Pose had
stated that the Fredericksons had gone
awav in a boat in a storm. Young
Pose told him that he saw them go
out. Neither Edwards, Gibbons or
John Pose has been on the ranch
since I went there. I saw guns on
the Pose ranch the first time I was
there, a shot gun and rifle; never saw
them afterwards.
Cross examination.- George Pose
was there the second time I was there.
Frederickson s dog Avas there at that
tune. Some one came and took the
dog away, none of the defendants here
took the dog. Did not see Mrs. Fred
erickson when I was on their farm.
Edwards was on the farm.
H. T. Wiegardt saw the bodies after
they were taken up. They were those
of Mr. and Mrs. Frederickson. The
dead woman was the sister of my wife.
The last time I saw them was the 20th
of January. Frederickson was 37 or 38
years of age, his wife about 2-L Heard
that Fredericson moved on to the
place about Christmas; weighed about
150 pounds. My sister took a lady's
watch when she went on to the place.
Missed them about Feb. 17th. Went
to their house, found it locked and no
signs of either. Found two dead
chickens. Johnson's folks told me
they had not been at home for some
time. Was with the sheriff when he
went there and pulled out the staple.
Found Mr. and Mr. Frederickson's
clothes, also her watch. Nothing was
missing but a shot gun and a revolver.
I took possession of their goods. Have
seen Gibbons; saw him at tho place in
the Pose dingy; ho said he was going
to Pay Center; afterwards found him
at my place, -where he stayed all night
He was trying to buy tho farm of the
heirs of the Fredericksons. He was
boarding at the hotel of John Pose
This was before the bodies were found.
John Woods said: I know the de
fendants, Edwards and Gibbons.
Talked with Edwards in the jail, said
he did not know what they -wanted
him for, as he was innocent. John
Pose also said he was innocent
Jack Edwards said he would like to
tell the truth of what he knew about
the murder.
Sheriff Turner testified that he has
the custody of the defendant Ed
wards; that Edwards did not want to
make any confession, nor offer to, to
him; said that he had had no conver
sation with Wood in regard to con
fessing.
Sheriff Turner here recognized the
confession and signature of Geo. Poso;
stated further that Poso wanted to
make a confession; warned him not to
confess, expecting favors. He then re
pented and signed the following confesseon:
wards returned to South Bend about
the 10th day of February, accompanied
by my brother-in-law, George D.Jones.
I further say that I make this statement
voluntarily of my own free will and ac
cord; that 1 make it in the room or Mr.
Hardest-, in Oysterville, after haviug
requested the sheriff take me to him.
I know that he is hired by the people
of Pacific county to prosecute me, my
father, Edwards and Gibbons, for the
murder of Mr. and Mrs. Frederickson.
I make this confession -without any
hope of reward and not from any fear
of punishment, but simply to case my
conscience and to tell " the truth.
I desire to say further, that Gibbons j
took I1 rederickson's revolver and cut '
the handle off and put anew one
on. He took it to my father's
house. Edwards took his muzzle
loading shot gun but left it at
the ranch, where it was found by me
on yesterday, the 29th day of March,
1890. I also -wish to say that I vol
untarily offered to go with the sheriff
and show him nud the party search
ing for the body just whore Mrs.
Frederickson is buried. 1 could not
hang off any longer. I wanted her
buried beside her husband: I could
not stand it
The above is the truth and all the
facts concerning the murder of Jens
and Seni Frederickson, so help me
God.
Geokge F. Pose.
In presence of A. G. Hardest-, J.
IL Tnrner, W. W. Ward and W. C.
Mower.
Gibbons, were held "without bail to
answer to the charge of murder in tho
first degree at the next term of court
which will be next July.
The prisoners were removed to tho
jail at Oysterville. The elder Pose,
Gibbous and Edwards, aro in a cell
together. Geo. Pose is under a spec
ial guard by himself.
There was some talk of lynching,
and if there had been a leader there
might be a different story to tell; as it
is,justice will take its natural and
legal course, and the history of one
of the foulest murders in the history
of the northwest, has been unearthed.

EO. ROSE'S CONFESSION.
He Alleges "Who the Murderers' Were, Ami
How the Crime Was Committed.
Oystebvxlle, Wash., Mar. 30. 1890.
My name is George F. Pose, my
ago 19 years; my father's name is
John Pose; my father wanted this 1G0
acres of land that Jens Frederickson
took. He wanted Edwards or Gib
bons to take it and pay out on it and
then deed it to my father. This Gib
bons is one of tho meanest men that
ever came into the country. Edwards
and my father all made it up, as to
how they -would kill Frederickson and
his wife. After Edwards made up his
mind lo take the place for father, lie
cut down some trees on the place, but
father found out after Fred
erickson had built a shake
shanty on tho claim, that Fred
erickson had commenced a contest
lo get the land. On Wednesday or
Thursday of the last week in January,
father, Gibbons and I took a dingy
and crossed the bay to father's ranch
where we found John Edwards. We
had it all made up as to how
we were to do the killing.
Edwards had a spade hid on the
edge of the woods near the cow trail.
Father and Edwards went up to Fred
erickson's house to get him to come
down and help them hunt some cattle.
After he came we, that is father, Ed
wards, Gibbons, Frederickson and I
monthlv meeting, voted to incorporate.

third visit found traces that lead to
the recovery of them. Cedar boughs
were cut in a peculiar manner, with a
dull or nicked knife, and limbs were
found that were notched the same as
the stub on the tree. These trees
seemed lo lead io the place where
the body -was. Left at this time and
returned lo Pay Center. Peturned
again to the ranch and found Fred
erickson's body 1G0 rods from this
point, interred behind a log near a
thicket in a cow trail. First found
an open grave, tounu tue ooay lurtner
on uunea auouc six mcues aeep.
Noticing that earth had been dis
placed, moved a sod and foimd a
hand. Called the other men to see
the grave and body. When the body
of the woman was found placed it on
a stretcher. George Pose, tho prison
er, pointed out the place where the
woman was found. Asked George
Pose lo identify guns. George Pose
did not state in his presence how the
woman came there. Said a certain
gun was the one that did tile business:
had heard a dog had been op the
premises. Saw indications that a
boat had been landed near the body.
Pe-direct Noticed that some of
the foot tracks were of peculiar
shape, near the body. Had seen a
boot on a man by the name of Gib
bons of a similar shape
Dr. Wilson Gruell testified that he
was a physician. Stated that he per
formed the autopsy on the bodies.
Found the body of Frederickson in a
normal condition, the head badly
crashed, found shot and caps in the
right hemisphere of the brain. Wit
ness here identified the shot; said he
found forty-four shots and two caps;
found hair on the temporal bone;
cranial bones were all broken. The
woman's head disclosed one wound
about the left temple; ball passed
through the head, would have caused
instant death.
George Poso was called, but de
clined to make further statement.
J. S. Pickett, said he knew George
Rose, and John Edwards. Saw Ed
wards on the Pose farm, about the last
of January. He "was taking care of
John loose's stock so he stated. Was
there about one day; George Rose was
with me; no one else on the farm.
Saw a man near his house Edwards
stated the man was living on govern
ment land. Edwards said he calcu
lated to take the land but Frederick
son filed first Said he -was going to
bike the land and work for
Rose Rose was to help make the
went down into tho woods -west of the
house. Edwards went first on the
cow trail, father next, then I, then
Frederickson, and Gibbons in the rear.
After we got about one-half mile west
of the house, a3 we were walking along
as staled, Gibbons said, "look here,
Frederickson," and Frederickson
turned, and as he stood, about four
feet from Gibbons, Ed. Gibbons fired
a load out of a shotgun he was carry
ing, the load striking Frederickson in
the face He fell and did not utter a
word or move a muscle The cart
ridge was loaded with No.- 1 or B.
The shot had some caps mixed with
them. We found the shot in a cigar
box and the caps -were mixed with
them. We buried Frederickson just
where he fell Before we buried him,
father took all the money Frederick
son had in his pocket Father divided
it between the three of them. It was
about $58 or S59. There was two $20
gold pieces, one $10 gold piece,
one $3 gold piece and three
or four dollars in silver. After we
buried tho body we went to father's
house This was in the forenoon be
tween 9 and 10 o'clock. Father and
Edwards went up to Frederickson's
house and made some excuse to bring
her, Mrs. Frederickson, down to fa
ther's house When wo got there and
standing near the pig-pen, I was
standing off twenty or thirty feet;
Gibbons was standing right near me.
Father stood close to Edwards, who
had father's rifle, a .45 Remington.
Just as Mrs. Frederickson got near
the pig-pen Edwards raised the rifle
and shot her through the head. .She
fell on her back just as her husband
did when ho was killed by Gibbons.
jura. jereuencKson never utterea a
word or moved, just dropped instantly.
I helped dig the grave for her. Wo
all worked together; we dug about
two and a half feet, T think, and put
her in face up and tilled the grave up
with the dirt we dug out of it We
scattered the loose dirt; we agreed that
the rain would fix everything.
There is water standing all
around there, anyway. After killing
he we made up we should tell the
story we saw Mr. Frederickson and wife
starting in a dingy for Bruceport, and
got lost JMlwards was to take Fred
erickson's dingy and turn it loose and
swamp it Gibbons, father and I went
to South Bend in the afternoon and
Edwards stayed on the ranch till Sun
day and came over with a dingy with
the butcher, Pat Connelly, who had
come to the ranch the previous day
with me On Sunday father and Ed
wards went away on the Polar Bear.

ROSE'S CONFLICTING CONFE-SIONS.
Sheriff Turner's Intci'otiii? Testimony.
The above Is from the original notes
of the testimony taken in Justice Fau
cher's office in Bay Center as the testi
mony was in progress.
There was other testimony, and
other statements were made that con
flict somewhat with Geo. Pose's con
fession, as printed above. That indi
vidual was badly mixed, or considerable
of a liar, or both.
He made other confessions, five in all.
When John Wood was on the stand
he said that he had a conversation
with Jack Edwards; that he, (Wood)
had gone to see Edwards when he was
in jail, and that Edwards had then
said: 'I am innocent, but I would like
to tell who the guilty parties are.''
John Davis, the county clerk, had
called him away at that moment, there
was a land proving up case on hand,
and he didn't return to the jail.
When asked about this afterward it
transpired that two of the defendant's
attorneys had gone to Edwards and
warned him not to say one word; to
keep mum and he would stand a bet
ter show.
SHEKIFF TtJIlXEIl'S TESTIMONY.
Now comes the testimony of sheriff
J. H. Turner, which is tho most inter
esting as showing how things shaped.
This also was taken down in the jus
tice's office, as it fell from the lips of
the sheriff.
"I asked Edwards," testified sheriff
Turner, ''if ho wanted to make a con
fession, and ho said he did not and
that ho had not told Wood that he
wanted to make a confession, and
that he had never had any conversa
tion with Wood at all."
Continued tho sheriff: ''Geo. Rose
made the confession that was intro
duced in evidence in Hardesty's room
at Oysterville, in the presence of Mr.
Ward, Mr. Mower, the coroner, Mr.
Hardest' and myself. We told him
the consequences and that Ave could
not promise him any further than to
speak to the court to be as lenient
with him as possible if he told the
truth about it.
"We found the body of Mrs. Fred
erickson where shown by Geo. Pose.
"Before Geo. Pose made the con
fession I told him I had evidence that
would convict him and it would be
better if he told the truth about it and
the court would be more lenient with
him than if he did not; but he would
not go without being punished and
that he couldn't hope to be a free man
again.
"Geo. Rose stated that he came
down lo the Rose ranch alwnt the last
of January sometime and before get
ting to the place he heard a shot and
after he got to the house he saw Ed
wards coming from back of the house
with a spade and he went out beside
the hog pen and saw where the earth
had been dug up by the pen nud he
asked Edwards where the Frederick
sous were and he said Ihey were gone
and if they didn't return not to say
anything about it and that he was go
ing to take the land that Frederickson
was on and he went afterwards to sec if
tlie body of Mrs. 1 redencksou w;is
there and the reason he didn't tell it
was he was afraid of being accused of
murder.
"He afterwards stated that he and
a man named Audrew Johuson killed
the Fredericksens: that he got drunk
at South Bend and came down to the
Rose place and met a man named
Johnson there and Johnson wanted
tojgo and kill the Fredericksons and
get the money they had; that after
Johnson shot Frederickson he. tried
to shoot Mrs. Frederickson, with the
other load in the gun, but it didn't go
off, and he then went and got Fred
erickson's pistol and shot Mrs. Fred
erickson, and tho next day they got a
boat and brought the body of Mrs.
Frederickson down and buried her in
the pig pen.
