CHICAGO, July "A gang of men are
busily at work since yesterday tearing
down the convention wigwam and with
in ten days all signs of the famous build
ing where the stirring eloquence of many
of the democracy's greatest orators
moved thousands to enthusiasm will
have disappeared. BY terms of the con-
tract all the salvage goes to the contrac
tors, A. NJ. Allen & Co., who erected the
structure, an allowance of $4,000 being
made in the contract price for the same.
"We are under a forfeit of $500 a day to-
the city for every day after the 10th of
JulvAimit if any part of the building
material is on the ground Said Mr..
Allen yesterday, ''and though the job is
big one guess it will be done on time.

soon as they are we will at once COM

the amusing features of the work now
proceeding is the diligence with which
the various entrances are guarded

Allen, 'sthere has been thousands of

WILSON CONFESSED.
fhe Outrageous Death Of Mamie Walsh
to be Avenged.
THE DEMON WHO DONE THE DEED.
He Is Taken From the Oregon City Jail
to Portland for Safety.
THE Law WILL TAKE ITS COURSE.
Modern Times, Charged Against
Oregon.

OREGON, CITY, July 2.-Fhe fiend in
who was the fourth person arrested on
suspicion of the outrage and murder of
Mamie Walsh near Milwaukee, in this
county, last week, although known posi-
lively to be guilty of the revolving crime
by chain of convincing circumstances
and his own final confession, is permitted
to live, and must go through the formal
ity of trial before his miserable acts
are avenged by his ignoble death at the
end of rope, at the expense of the peo-
pie, in accordance with the DEGREES of
justice. Well it is that this figure Of
our American institutions, Justice, ap-
pears blindfolded before the eyes of the
world. This demon halls from Iowa,
and has been in this state about one
month, but he has fixed upon Oregon
one of the most revolving crimes of mod
ern times. The gentle victim of his
british passion is pounced upon while
innocently picking berries in the vicinity
of her home, and after being brutally
outraged by the demon, her condition
and resistance has made it such that to
escape from his criminal conduct, he
adds murder, in the most outrageous
form. His arrest on suspicion is fol-
lowed by an investigation which reveals
circumstantial evidence of his guilt
strong enough to convict him, and
finally when he sees it is impossible to
escape, in the hope of ameliorating the
case against him confesses his crime in
detail. The confession was obtained
yesterday in Jail in the presence of his
brother Frank Wilson, Sheriff Samson,
Joseph Purdom and G. II. Dye. It was
taken down in writing and signed by
Wilson. Subsequent to this confession
Justice Fouts went to the Jail and held
the preliminary examination, c. Fl. Dye
appearing for the state. After the read
ing of the information he waived e1,ami-
nation, and was held for the murder
without bonds. The trial ended at 2
O'Clock, and arrangements were imme-
diateiy made to take him to Portland
by boat. He was hurried f.om the rear
door of the Jail just before the boat
landed from up the river, no one being
aware either that he had confessed or of
the intention to take Him away; so there
was no crowd present and but few spec
tators to the removal. At 2:35 he was
hurried away in charge of officer Samson,
Purdom and Morris.

On the other hand it is said chairman
Orr, of the Colorado delegation will
carry in his pocket letter from Judge
Gresham, in which the latter, in the
most positive terms, declares that he
will not be a candidate for president on
the peoples or any other ticket. He
authorizes Judge Orr to Withdraw his
(Gresham's) name should it be pre-
sented to the convention. The letter
was written about two weeks ago
Judges Orr and Gresham were school
