Carpenter "Coughs Up." The letters convinced the sheriff that Carpenter and his partner were the two men he had tagged about the city and went to Hay City, for when Carpenter returned to the county the Sheriff and .Mr. Heals met him at .M older and the sheriff immediately recognized him. Carpenter asked Crenshaw if he was the sheriff of the county and shook hands with him. Heals was introduced to Carpenter, and all three went into the depot, where Carpenter "coughed up" the plot he had entered into with White and Worrall. They returned to this city and commenced working on the ca.se, More Provisions Wanted. Wednesday night of last week the Sheriff and Carpenter went to Hay City, the latter going to Wliite's cabin and had a tajk with him, the sheriff overheard the conversation. They talked about more provisions, as the supplies were running short While there Carpenter made arrange' menu to meet Worrall in his bed room on Thursday night at 8 o'clock. To Be Kidnapped On Way Home. Worrall, White, and Carpenter met as agreed,, and the sheriff was secret ed so' as to hear the entire convcrsa No doulii you have re- It i pi s.ji seen thai ia r- 4' z the letters t Heals rd this '. . that Carpentt, was the nun who - t latcd it, and he was stiil pjr.tci; ;'i . i. i th - plot.

This letter was to contain a blank check on the Tillamook County Hank, and Heals was to make it ouH for $$00, ami Mrs. Heals was to th at. planned in the letter, and another letter was to have been slipped under Worrell's dot r. stating that they had kidnapped Heals whojtad put up quite a fight. Worrall Refuses to Take Money. Saturday morning. Mrs. Heals went to Worrell's office with the money, but he refused to take it. They con vened together for one hour and ten minutes, it being planned to -arrest Mr. Worrall with the money on him, and Carpenter was to rusharin before this-was done and demand Jart of the money. This part of the story is bet ter told in Worrell's confession. He was immediately arrested by the sheriff and locked up in the county jail. White was also arrested on Sat in day at his cabin at Hay City the .same day. He had nearly $500.00 in $10.00 gold pieces hid in his wood shed, ami amongst other things fount! there were two stamped envelopes addressed to W 01 rail. White Pleads Guilty. On Monday evening White and Worrall were ar.-.iicncd the former indicted on two counts one for at tempted kidnapping and the other for threatening lo kill A. G. Heals. Wor rail was indicted for atteinptedkidtn) ping. White pleaded guilty to both crimes and Judge Hclt immediately sentenced him to I to 25 years in the state penitentiary on the first count, but the next morning changed this to 1 to i.V4 years as the indictment only charged attempt kidnapping. On the indictment of threatening to kilt White was sentenced to 1 to 5 years, to take effect following the comple tion of the first sentence. ' Worrall asked time to plead, and Tuesday evening Judge Belt gave him until the next morning to do so. Worrall is Sentenced. y He pleaded not guilty Wednesday morning apd the judge set the case for trial for Monday, During the day it was decided to change the plea to that of guilty,' upon the under standing that Worrall would tell the court the wlnsle facts of the case, which he did, There was profound murder case nothing could liave been trre solemn as the court passed an indeterminate sentence of 1 to tj' j yt-ar in the pcnittntlaiy on th pris ern.r, who coltapttd he heard his doom, which was in i.arkci contrast .j ot .

While amc to me to consult on- as his attorney about o..te matters, at which time he gave .K ftv dollars, as retainer lee. It was in regard to gelling some money he ctaimeti 4S due htm bac. hast some w.tcrc. t rote a couple 01 tetters and rrcuvid no reply, jeirh r did I get the lcti'-rs back. Alter that. I don't know the exact time, but possibly it was in a few weeks, he came lu the otftcc and talked about his children and their adoption by Mr. Arthur Heal, two children, twins I believe, a boy and a girt. He wanted nte to look up the adoption papers and sec ii luty were legal Slating at the lime, without going tn'.- details, that he Wanted to get possession of the chil dren or wanted the children back, I believe was his language. I told him I would look into the matter for him which 1 afterwards did, and advised him on his rctun to the office after war. , that as f;ti as I could see, the pap- rs were leg. I, and 1 didn't sec anv chance tl.roagh a law suit to ob tain possesion of the children. I ihn.k that w ill thai was said at tha; time. exct,t he possibly said something about "going to have tficm children," he talkctl about them con stantly, and shortly after that, I don't remember how long, he came to the ot'fitc one day and said he wanted to see me privately, and wanted to know if he could trust me, and I told him to go ahead and talk, that what was said in the office was considered private always. He said in that conversation, it was a mania with htm, he thought of nothing else, and dreamt ofnoth ing else but getting possession of those children, that he was goinc to, . have thcfirTic'lia tied out as he worked on the section through the day he thought of them, and as he slept alone in his little home at night I' talked with him and told him they had a good home, and he said thai he had no objection to Mrs. Heals, but lie did object to Ar thur Heals, without going into details he told me why he didn't want Arthur Heals to have them, he claimed that there had been fraud perpetrated on him and one thing another. Well I don t know he came up to sec me several times. We talked back and forth, and he told me all his plans. Told rue what they were. He was go ing to get the children.. Said he had watched them, and the residence, ami had an opportunity on one occasion to "grab" one of them, as he said, but wanted them both. Well, gradual ly one thing led to another, and we talked back and forth for about a -no nth. On one occasion he came up, be had a perfect mania for getting them. Said he was going to get them, no matter what stood tn the way. I reasoned with him, and told him he better go back home, that they had a rood home, that Mrs. Heals would akerfrare ot themf He went away, and c:.tne back again, '1 don't know how lone afterwards, i.i week or so. And said he was going to get somebody e'se to help him get the children. I :hink at one time he wanted Arthur Heals or somebody to buy his home at H:i City so he would have enough t.i get out of the country be said he didn't have touch money. 1 .don't know as he ever told me how much, think possibly several hundred dol lars was all the money he had, and then he developed to me his whole plan of how he wanted to gel the chil- lrii lii, nl-in nc flpv',lnni-d l ! ,..... . . . - --, silence in the court room, Worrell lion. It was planned to kidnap Deals keenly feeling the disgrace " he had on his way home and take bint back brought upon himself. Had it been a the plan attempted to be carried out. I tlon t know why. I have got no ex cuse to make for it, only possibly my weakened condition mentally, 1 al lowed myself to be drifted along. It couldn't have been the money prop osition, because all the money he ever gave me was $55 or $60 to cover two trips to Portland I made for him trying to locate somebody to help him get the children. I told him , I wouldn't be a party to it, that is tak ing an active part, and the last time I went up there was an ad put in the paper. The first time. 1 bail a con ference with several people I rtn across there through agencies, that might come down and assist him in his plan to get the children. A gentle man bv the name of Carpenter I think, if I remember right, answered the ad. in the paper amongst a niun her of others. I talked with .Carpenter and told him 1 didnt' know all the de tails of the plan, but there was a man down here, I don't think I said what his name was, 1 don't know him imt a man down here wanted to employ a couple of men to assist him. Carpen ter agreed to accept the emplovment. iie came to Tillamook with me. Met White here, in town, up at my office if I remember, and wc talked the mat ter over. The. first part of the talk I introduced him to White, said "Mr. White this is Mr. Carpenter.!' one of the men who wants to talk,, to you (Continued on back page;) 1 if.
