I he body of James Morrow, 21, was found on the street
less man a Block trom his home in Portland, Ore.,
by a milkman at 4:30 a.m. A bullet had lodged in
his skull. Morrow's wallet contained $20, so robbery as a
motive was ruled out,
Young Morrow was well known in Portland because of
his football exploits, first in high school, later as captain
of the team at the Portland Iron Works where he had
been employed.
The victim had spent the previous evening with the girl
he was engaged to marry and apparently was slain shortly
after he got off a streetcar and started walking home.
Residents of the block had heard a shot at 12:15 a.m.,
which was fixed as the time of the crime.
Police quickly learned that at least two persons could
have had a motive for murdering Morrow. One was a
former suitor of his fiancee. Though he knew of her
engagement to Morrow, he had refused to give her up
and still tried to see her. But he proved that he was on the
other side of the city at 12: 15, and was cleared.
The other suspect was also a popular football player
who had wanted to be captain of the iron-works team.
When Morrow had won out at a plant election, he became
so angry he quit his job.
Police went to his room and found a .32 caliber re
volver with two bullets missing. But the young man gave
a satisfactory alibi and was definitely cleared when the
fatal bullet proved to be a .44 caliber.
When no other clues could be found, detectives began
canvassing the neighborhood. They talked to dozens of
people before they finally found one who had been re
turning home after midnight. He told of seeing two
strangers walking toward the bridge over the Willamette
Kiver which bisects the city.
He said one of the men was short and stocky; the other
was tall and slender and talked in a soft voice, with a
Southern accent. He also said that both wore brown top
coats and black hats.
Having no other leads, the detectives followed the trail
of the two men. They had stopped at a saloon not far
from the bridge.
The bridge tender said he had talked to the two men,
one of whom had thrown something int() the rive. The
bridge Render had reminded him that it was illegal to
toss articles off the bridge. The man with the Southern
accent explained it was an empty whiskey bottle and
apologized. They had left then, saying they were going
somewhere to eat.
"Those are our boys," said one of the officers. "We're
on the right trail."
They canvassed restaurants and found a blonde waitress
n U3J sTvuthV' men. She said the short, stocky
man had asked her for a date and she had finally agreed,
bringing a girl friend for thp tall Southerner. But the date
was called off when the men failed to re
ceive some money they had expected and
were unable to pay for an evening's outing.
The girl knew only their first names. The
short one was called Jack; the tall man, Bill.
She didn't know where they lived, but
thought it was somewhere in the vicinity.
The detectives canvassed other saloons
' and learned that the pair had visit
ed several, though nobody knew who
they were. At one place, the bartender had
noticed them because they had stared at a
man known as a gambler who usually car
ried several hundred dollars in cash. When
the gambler left the saloon, they followed.
But they hadn't harmed him; he was back
the following night.
Next, the detectives canvassed lodging
houses. After many failures, they found a
landlady who recognized the men from
their descriptions. She said they were Jack
Wade and William Dalton, and were very
persuasive. Though she normally required
payment in advance, they had talked her
into renting them a room on credit "until
they received a large sum of money they
were expecting."
The men still lived there, so they were
arrested and taken to headquarters. They
were not questioned until the bridge tender
and others positively identified them as the
two strangers who had been in the vicinity
of the murder area.
Wade and Dalton then confessed, each
blaming the other for the fatal shot. They
said they had watched the ganbler flash a
i a Ti
big roll in the saloon and had followed with
the intention of robbing him. They had lost
him temporarily, then had seen a man they
thought was the gambler as he was board
ing a streetcar.
They followed. Leaving the streetcar be
hind, they held him up on the dimly lighted
street and discovered their mistake. In the
excitement, the gun was fired, killing James
Morrow. They had left quickly, without
robbing him, and had stopped at a saloon to
steady their nerves. Then they crossed the
bridge, tossing the gun into the river.
Wade and Dalton were convicted of mur
der and hanged on Jan. 31, 1902. But before
they went to the gallows, they asked the
detectives how they had been caught.
"It took plenty of leg work," said Detec
tive Joe Day, who had led the investigation.
"You were seen on the street where Morrow
was killed. After that, we followed the
Southern accent."
"Well, other people were on the street
that night," Wade said. "Why were you so
sure it was us?"
"We weren't," Day said, "until we talked
to the bridge tender. We figured you had
thrown the gun into the river."
"Why?" Wade persisted. "The bridge ten
der didn't see what it was. We told him it
was an empty whiskey bottle."
"That's what tripped you up. We didn't
think you had a whiskey bottle."
"What made you think that?"
"You bought several drinks in a saloon.
You wouldn't have done that if you'd had
a bottle of your own."
