THE ASTORIA MURDER.
Sensational Developments Concern
ing tho Tragedy.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. IA number of
additional facts have been learned to-
day concerning the shooting at Astoria
yesterday. The examination of Michel
will take place tomorrow, Immediately
alter the conclusion OF the coroner's in
quest, which was continued from yes
terday afternoon. The continuation
was ordered because It was desired that
the girl should give her testimony.
Mrs. Vincent, at whose house Nellie
boarded, and where the shooting oc-
CURED, said that about three months
prior to her running away, Nellie was
brought To her house by Michel, who
said his daughter was AN incorrgible
liar. and that Mrs. Vincent would need
to watch her very closely. Mrs. Vincent
soon found that he was right, for after
few days the girl left school and said
her father had taken away her
books. She was very wild and
very free with young boys.
Johnson, the deceased, had boarded
with Mrs. Vincent eight years, and
bore an excellent reputation. He
worked at fishing, ana also had posi-
ton ut the jetty as laborer. He was IA
quiet. inoilensiye man, and had many
friends. Mrs. Vincent never saw him
make any improper advances towar,i
the girl, and those who know her are
satisfied that she would not have been
abnshcd had he done so.
Charles Michel bears the reputation
OF being bad man. lie got into quar-
rel with man at Cnthlamet, and shot
him in the buck, killing him instantly.
Hc escaped hanging on the plea of self
defense. About five years ago he had
some trouble with a man named Will
liams, and trying to shoot him was shot
in the face. lie is bartender, about 45
years old. On arriving at Astoria yes-
terday morning he went TO Mrs.
Nipcents house and asked
if Johnson lived there. She
said he did, but was not up yet Michel
ran up stairs and found johnson asleep
in bed. Michel was about fifteen feet
from Johnson, who jumped up and ran,
while Michel sent three more bullets
after him, all taking effect in his back.
The murderer then went to the sherifi7s
office and gave himself up, asking that
some one go to see If he had killed the
right man.
The fac, has been developed that the
& ri started out for tear as soon rs she
u here. She put up at the Metropolis
hotel, and told the landlady that her
name was Mccormick. The second
night she went out with two young men
aud did not return until morning. Her
father heard from her the story OF her
supposed troubles with johnson, but
knew that her word was not reliable.
Officer Wood went out to the residence
of William Gregory this afternoon after
the girl and she will be taken to- night /
by Sheriff Smith to Astoria.

TOO MANY CHRONIC DRUNKs.
Monthly Inspection OF the steiiacoom
Ins ane Asylum.

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 4.-The trustees
of the Western Washington hospital for
the insane met yesterday ut Steilacoom
to make their regular monthly inspec-
tion. At present there are about 300
patients under treatment, and the new
arrivals are about one day, and the
deaths about three week. The greatest
difficulty at present to be overcome is
the fact that large proportion of the
new patients are in the last stages OF
insanity, many of whom might have
been permanently cured, II rendered
subject to proper treatment isw
months earlier. Another source OF an
noy ance is the number OF chronic
drunks that are sent for treatment us
insane patients, when q few days sober
ing is all they need. Governor Ferry
will. in his next message to the legisla-
ture, treat on this question, and recon-
mend that state inebriate asylum be
established.
