Salem, Or., Jan. 19. 1913.
Mr. H. II. Do Armond Dear Sir:
Your most kind and welcomo letter
was received a few dajs ago and was
Kind to hear from you and to know
that you arc- dolnc nil yon can for
mo. Tho only way I can express my
reclines Is by thanking you.
I have thought the matter over.
and tho only way I can se out of It
Is by telling you tho truth and let
you know tho whole Btory, so you
will know what to do. Mnybo you
can help me out. So hero gees:
September 19, Tom Frlekos wanted
us to find him a girl. Wo went out
looking for one, but wo didn't find
any. September 21 Tom camo to my
houso Just as I was getting ready for
bed and he asked mo to go and find
Parker so wo coulif ko out and look
for girls.
Tom and I went down to where
Parker roomed. Tom stayed down
stairs whllo I went up and got Par
ker. Wo came down and wo found
Tom waiting for us. Wo went to the
danco hall, but we didn't get any
girls. Tom and I went homo and wo
left Parker there.
September 22, Bert Cummlngs,
Parker and myself left tho Hotel Mod
ford at 8 o'clock. Tho three of us
went to, tho Oreck pool room. Par
ker and I played a gamo of pool.
Whllo wo were playing pool Ocorgo
came In with a watermelon and ho
aBkcd mo If I had a knlfo. I gare
him my knife. Then I went ahead
with tho gamo. Parker and I got
through playing and we went over
to tho park to get a drink and a lit
tle fresh air, and we took our scat
on tho second bench from tho church.
After we were there about five min
utes Tom camo over, aud he said:
"Boys, let us look for a girl," and wo
told him wo wero going to bed In a
little while, for wo had to get up,
early In the morning. He said:
"Come and let us meet a nico girl."
Wo said, "all right," and wo went.
After wo Btarted to go ho said wo
muBt get George, for ho wanted to
go, too. So I went and got George
while Parker and Tom went down
drape street, and they said for me to
come back and go down Grape street,
and they would bo waiting for us.
George and I did go down Grape
street and we found Tom and Parker
at the end of South Grape. From
thero we went on Front street, and
we kept on till we got to the depot.
Then George wanted to get a water
melon and Tom gave him 10 cents,
and George went to get the melon
while us three walked slow up to the
depot and waited till George got back
and Tom said wo had better go to tho
box factory, that would be a good
place, and we did.
Then Tom wanted somo whisky, so
Parker said he would go and get
some. Tom asked him where was he
going to get it, but Parker said he
could get It all right, and he went
ufter t. Whllo Parker was going
Tom and Ocorgo got fighting about
some money about a board bill, and
George wouldn't pay It, and the first
thing I knew about It Tom bit George
over the head with a gas plpo and

II. J. Ramsey, pomologist in charge

'Wo are going to Lssue the result
of our past ien.son'ri iu ex ligation
with Rartlett pear prccooling and
storage in one of the next numbers of
the bi-monthly Bureau of Plant In
dustry circulars, and will have a
number of hcparales on the Medford
work si nick off, so that, they will lie
avnjlable for mailing to every pear
grower in the Itoguo Iliver valley.
"We feel that the results of theo
investigations are of the greatest im
portance to. the industry, and that
they ought to be made nvnilahlc as
soon ns possible. W c are hoping that
conditions will lie fnvorablu for the
continunnce of the work during tho
coming season, and that wo may be
able to innko ncttinl shipments to
eastern markets after precooling nnd
storage at the producing end."

George went down and Tom was still
hitting George after he was down.
Then Tom sworo at him In Greek.
Then ho went through George's
clothes. When ho started to search
tho clothes I started to run, and as
I went to tho track I saw Parker com
ing back with tho whisky, and I
stayed thero and waited for him, and
I told Parker what had happened,
and lie asked mo what was tho mat
ter and I told him, and Parker didn't
bollevo me, and we both ran over
thero and wo found Tom pulling
George underneath tho box factory.
Then Parker said, "What was the
matter, Tom?" and Tom said: "Ho
would not pay mo tho bill," and Par
ker said to me, "Let us get out of
hero, Mike, for tho first thing wo
know they will arrest us. Thoy will
be thinking that wo killed this fel
low, so let us get out of here." And
as wo started to go Tom put that
watch In my pocket und $7 and ho
told mo to give him tho watch back
tho next day, and I was broken down
so I didn't think anything about tho
watch till I got homo, and I found
out that I had tho watch and tho $7,
and I gave my wlfo CO cents out of
It and I told her that I won It play
ing poker.
So when I went to work the next
day I put that watch on tho shelf,
and I was going to glvo It back to
Tom Monday night, but I forgot It.
This Is tho wholo truth, Harvey,
and If Frank and I got hanged, re
member that wo didn't kill this man.
So hero Is tho whole story, and you
and Mr, McCabo can look It over, aud
you gentlemen can do what you can
for us.
When you answer this letter wrlto
to Father Moore, for this letter Is not
going through tho offlco, As I can't
think of anything nioro to wrlto, I
will closo for this time. Dent re
gards to Mr. Do Armond and Mr. Mc
