PoErLASp, Nov. ls.-Chief of Police
Lsppeus, having in custoday Alfred
Anderson, accused of numbering his
brother Carl, at Swan Islaad, i've weeks
ago, also his param0ur. Bertha Nelson,
arrived by the Queen Of the Pacific last
night. The prisoners are at the city
iaii. Anderson was handcuffsd and
heavily ironed, but on the voyage the
Handouts were removed. The woman
vas allowed the freedom of the steamer.
From information gained SINCE his de-
parture from Portland, Chief Lappeus

entirely innocent of connection with the
crime, or knowledge of it before its
commission. She will, however. be an
important witness for the State, and on
that account will be detained until the
trial takes place. Anderson persuaded
her to 20 TO the Sound BY promising
that he could get work at good wages.
The woman has the appearance OF an
ordinary scandinavian servant, plain
and clean.
On the steamer for San Francisco,
Mr.. Lappeus met Harry Elmore, we'll
known sporting man, who said that he
and two other gamblers, Frank ScOw
and Sharon, won from Anderson 5000
while On route to Victoria.
A reporter of the Oregonian was per-

broad -shouldered, rough, big jointed
and dull. He has small, grayish blue
eyes, deeply set, and his looks indicate
either unquestionable guilt, or the sense
OF being wronQed-just AZ the observer
might fancy. He says he is % years
OF age, bdt he looks to be 30 or 32. OF
course he denies all knowledge Of the
crime, and makes damaging denial to
the statement that he lost inony by
gambling. He said he left Port

crime which have come to light, he says
the persons who tell these damaging
stories are all liars, and he would stake
his life on the accusation that they are
untruthful. Chief Lappeus thinks he
will before night have enough testimony
to make the chain of evidence against
Anderson complete.
