(Frm Punday's Daily.)
In the case of the State of Oregon
vs. John James White, charged by O.
VL Btahl with burglary from a dwelling,
the .prisoner was given a preliminary
hearing at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon before Judge Turner.
The attorney for the state first called
Mr. C. E. ftv who testified that he
owned the house mentioned in the case,
and that he lived between Hubbard
and Aurora.
The robbery occurred between 10 and
11 o'clock December 14, while he and
the rest of the family were at Aurora.
On going away he had left every
thing locked up, but on bis return
found the lock of one of the windows
broken and thred doors open.
On making an investigation he dis
covered a black suit of clothes. a gold
watch, pat-en t leather shoes, belt, over
coat and sleeve buttons belonging to
himself . and ecveral strands of beads,
a pair, of br-ad bracelets, brooch, four
set rings and one plain ring, a magni
fying glass, three handkerchiefs and
other trinkets belonging to his sister,
Miss 'A. E Btahl, to be miesing.
He valued the "property, which he
identified at $60, and had no recollec
tion of tver having seen either the pris
oner or the two boys who appeared as
witnesses. , .
One of the two bprs taken near Tur
ner, was then placed on the stand
lie testified to liia name being Frank
Sutton, that he lived in Taeoma, and
his brothers were on their way to San
Francisco on account of not being able
to get along with their stepmother.
On being asked if he was acquainted
with the prisoner he said he had met
thw prisoner and a fellow named
"Red" and another nsmed 'Joe"
near Wood burn the eveninsr before the
robbery and bad staved with them thst
night, and the next morning Red"
boarded a freight going toward Tort
land; while h. his brother. Joe and the
prisoner walked on up the track till
becoming hnneTr, they left the track
about a half mile to ro to a large
white bouse.
On Bearing this house thev sent the
oldest one of the boys, WesleV," to
cet them 'something to eat, birt after
knocking four or five times be rjptumed
and toM Joe and the prisoner. there was
ro one at borne. Joe then told John
to go and get something, but . he re
fused to do so unless Joe-accompanied
him; So they both went to the house,
leaving the two bovs behind the fence
ont of sight of the bouse. ;
On their return they had the stolen
property in ther possession, the prisoner
haVin the suit, which he put on under
his old clothes, also all the jewelry,
except one ring and the m tch and over
coat, whieh Joe kept for himself.
Thev all then walked eft up the traek
and that evening the prisoner and Joe
left the little fellows and they did not
sr-e tbem again till next day. when they
saw them walking ahead of tbem to
wards Salem.
Weslev Sutton was then called and
his testimony wm almost the same as
his brother's, onlr showed the effect
of having rehearsed bis part, but on
further questioning he told a pretty
straight story, also sarin? that Joe had
come to waiem, where he hoarded a
freight for Portland, and that after
walking 'around Salem for a while thev
bad gone toward Turner, whertf they
were arrested and brought back.
O Ulcers Murphy and Tewis were then
called and testified to having arrested
White at the little restaurant on Com
mercial street near tho Willamette
Hotel where be had been working for
about two houra as dishwasher, he hav
in the clothes and glass hidden there,
and the jewelry in bis pocket.
He claimed to have bought the
clothes, and when being taken to the
station Ire dropped the bag containing
th jewel rv as he turned a corner, but
it was picked up by jDfficer Murphy at
th time. -
" The prisoner, who is certanly a hard
looking ease, was then placed on the
stsnd at his request, but he seemed to
have snffcred a lapse of memory when
it came to the stolen roods snd appear
ed to grieve more over having lot bis
job as dishwasher, and a dollar which
he claimed to have obtained as boot
between the clothes and jewelry and a
sheep skin he had traded for them, and
after proving himself a most notorious
prevaricator, the prosecuting - attorney
became disgusted and refused to ques
tion him further, "he court bound bim
orer to the January term of the cir
cuit court with bail placed at -00 and
he was again removed to. the jail. . The
bo vs will probably be taken in charge
bv Judge Scott and sent to the Beform
SehooL.'
