The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1893-07-30
HAS A BAD MEMORY.

An Astorian reporter called at the
Jail last evening and saw Hansen with
a view OF learning IL any additional IN
formation could be got from him.
When the reporter had announced his
business Hansen said: "No, l have
nothing else. but all can remember
l have said already. My head has not
been clear for three weeks, but as
soon as I feel better there may be
something else that the Astorian can
have for publication" He still stuck
to the story Of having used the club
and reiterated his assertion that after
the murder he had chopped the wea
pom up and burned It.
WHAT THE DEFENSE WILL BE.
1t is possible. Judging from the mur
derer's desire to appear dazed, that in
sanity will be pleaded in the defense,
and 1t is apparent that his reluctance
to say anything more on the subject
OF the murder was the result OF a eau
ton from his attorney, Hon. C. w.
Fulton. Hansen was perfectly ration
al, and he answered the reporters ques
tions with readiness that did not
lend color to the insanity dodge.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1893-07-30

and several times he was led to be
lieved from Hansen's manner that the
time had come when the clear light OF
day would be thrown on one Of the
most horrible murders in criminal an
nails. About 2:SO yesterday morning
the prisoner weakened preceptibly, and
he appeared as If about to faint In
fact, he staggered, and the sheriff saw
that the strain was fast becoming too
severe to last much longer But with
mighty effort Hansen recovered his
self control, and nerved himself to the
terrible task Of keeping his dread Sc
cret. Not yet was he prepared to dis
close his awful part in the tragedy,
and remove what little doubt remained
OF the identity Of the author OF the
crime. But Sheriff Smith did not des
pair, and remembering that the chain
of evidence, which was being woven,
was purely circumstantial and still
far from being completed. he contin
ued his efforts, and at 7o2me. yesterday
morning was reward With success.
About o'clock Hansen lay down on
his bed, and remained silent for some
time, during which the sheriff talked
to him on the subject of the funeral
and the peaceful appearance Of the
murdered womans face; and as Han
sen's memory was carried back to the
affecting scene in the morgue
where so much emotion was shown
by the friends of Mrs Hansen, and TO
the moment at Greenwood when the
body of the woman who had been his
faithful helpmate for over thirty years,
was about to be closed from his sight
for ever, he was for the first time
struck with remorse and indicated de
sire to speak. Turning to the sheriff
he said: 81 can't stand this any long
er," and proceeded to tell the whole of
the dreadful story. The Sheriff lis
tened to the recital without interrupt
ing the murderer and as soon as the
story was completed sent for Recorder
Dunbar in order that a written confes
SION mignt De Secureu. WHAT IollOWcu
is published above When Hansen had
finished. he broke down completely and
cried for the first time since his ar
rest.
Sheriff Smith was highly compliment
ed on all sides for his success in Sc
curing the confession without resort
ing to coercive measures. or offering
Inducements Of any kind. Recorder
Dunbar remarked in this connection,
that Hansen appeared to find great re
lief in allowing others to share his ter
rible secret, and that no offers of elem
ency had been made or unfair strategy
resorted to by the sheriff in persuad
ing Hansen to speak.

He is UTTERLY REMORSELESS
He Says He Struck His Wife with Club
and Left Her BODY Lying in
the Bushes.

The Astorian's theory was correct
John Hansen has confessed to the muir
der of his old. fragile. unoffending wife
and, as declared by DR.. Belt at the In
quest, and pretty conclusively demon
strated by The Astorian reporter, the
terrible deed was done with blunt in
strument with which the murderer
struck her from behind.
There was no other solution, Of what,
under ordinary circumstances, might
have been a mystery; or explanation
possible which would account for the
nature Of the wounds. The position in
which the body lay when found, and
the actions of the uxoricide from the
minute he announced the murder to
Nylund until he made his confession
today. His manner and bearing, all
along, and especially his conduct
at the funeral of his murdered wife.
stamp him a man Of iron nerve, reck
less Of means and careless of conse
quences, No horror was visible in his
face when he bent over the body of
his victim at the morgue and kissed the
cold clay; No remorse seemed to move
him except as a passing cloud, when he
heard the clods fall upon her coffin in
Greenwood. Men with such unimpres
sionable natures and absolute self con
troll are the most dangerous in the
criminal class.
There was hardly need for him. tc
have confessed, for Sheriff Smith and
his aides. and Prosecuting Attorney
Curtis, were weaving an unbreakable
web of circumstantial evidence around
him. So close and connected is the tes
timony which those officers have Sc
cured that conviction, in case Of trial
would have been certain. There has
never yet been man hanged in Clatsop
county for murder. Let us see what
will be the outcome of this crime and
confession.

THREATENED LYNcHING.

AT ten o'clock last night information
was conveyed to Sheriff Smith that a
large number. estimated at 300 or over,
of Firms and Scandlnavians were gath
cred in Uppertown, and only waiting
the appearance of a leader to make a
raid on the jail, drag Hansen out and
hang him. Although he was rt a loss
to believe that such lawless clement
existed in the city. nr that such a
foolhardy attempt would be made, the
sheriff quietly completed arrangements
to meet The mob ani argue the mat
ter, and in the ey'nt Of not being able
to pacify them, then to meet force with
force ana protect his prisoner at all
hazards

A CORRECT FORECAST.

All this bears out the conclusions ar
rrived at by the Astorian reporter, who
went with Sheriff Smith to the scene
of the murder. The sharpened stake
for lettering the calf, the advent
of the murderer through the gate at
the chicken coop, the blow, delivered
downward and from the left, the
search of the body for the bureau keys,
and the motive, to get money for drink,
were all set forth in the Astorian of
Friday and yesterday.
