.PENNOYER EXPOSED.
His Connection With the Lum-
ber Trust Shown Up.
a GOLD BUG AND A MoNoPoLIsT
Great CONSERVATION in the Ranks
of the POpulist Campaign
Managers.

Portland May 31.-The sensation of
the present campaign appears this
morning by the publication in the Ore
gonian of photo-lithographic copy of
the infamous lumber trust compact
about which there was so much talk and
complaint on the part If consumers and
others some time ago. To the utter as
tonishment ard confusion Of the Popu-
list campaign managers this document
proves to be in the handwriting of no
less man than Gov Sylvester PEN
noyer. After the governors fiery de-
nunciations of trusts and combines all
over the state this exposure of his own
connection with the greatest monopoly
in the state, and that too, in compact
wherein 1t is stipulated that payments
for the products Of the trust shall be re-
ceived only in gold, is an exposure SO
startling Just ait this juncture as to
completely confound the governor aud
his friends, and SETTLE, 1t is said, the
question of any further aspirations on
his part to the United States senate.
The following is a copy Of the re-
markable document, with the names of
the different firms constituting the trust
appended to it,
The undersigned hereby agree from
and after January l, 1873, to sell lumber
at not less than the following rates.
viz:
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1894-06-01

The above rates are for gold coin ex-
cept 25 per cent of the same, which may
be in silver. And # is agreed and under
stood that no contracts have been en-
tered into by us with contractors ex-
tending beyond January l, nor will we
between this and that date enter into
any in conflict with the above rates.
These rates are for the cities Of Port

this city IN q buggy at midnight. They
drove to Long Beach and met on the
way only one person, an inofensive
Italian bound for San Pedro.
The story told by Feeler and Healey
was repeated to them upon their arrival,
and their trained perceptions at once
linked Feeler and Healy with the crime.
FROM that time on until the inquest the
pair were Swallowed. They were called
as witnesses. and then arrested and
brought to this city.
The stories told by them before the
coroner's jury were conflicting, taken
separately or jointly.
The satchel had been found upon the
beach where the tide carried it, instead
OF taking it out to sea as the guilty ones
side. and contained only the empty bags
besides these stocking packed half full
OF sand, making OF it a sandbag. This
weapon. from appearances, was never
used for the purpose for which it was
intended. No bruise or wound appeared
upon the body of Elikan except that
made by the bullet. Another sandbag,
made with the other stocking of the
pair, was found on the beach near where
the satchel washed up.
Healey worked for Elikan az clerk
for one month during the summer. Be-
fore the coronor's Jury he testified that
he knew of Eiiksn's practice of carrying
his money to his room In q satchel and
of his habits OF life. He also knew the
location of the locks and hinges of the
doors and the fact that a pane OF glase
was missing from the rear door. Hea-
ley's shoe fits exactly tracks found where
someone stood under d shed about 10
feet from the epot where Elikan fell.
Feeler's shoes fit we'll the tracks near
the rear Of the store, where. from the
nature OF the wound and the location OF
the body, the shot must have been
fred from.
The one who fred the fatal shot stood
close to Elikan. The face was scorched
and powder stained.
Heaey's parents reside in this city at
present, though at times his father goes
to Long Beach, near where, it is said,
he has ranch. Healey is 81 years OF
age and married. His wife, from whom
he has been separated for about three
weeks, lives in TIL, city with her
mother, Mrs. Elwood, of 1927
South Flower street. He has one child.
Before the coroner's jury Healey said
that he had met Feeler in this city
about three weeks ago. He met him on
the corner Of First and Los Angeles
streets one evening and accepted his
invitation to share his lodgings. The
two stayed in this city until last Mon.
day, Healey working at the Union iron
works for few days 90 helper in the
yard. Then they went to Long Beach
to "bsch" in the deserted lodging house
on the alley back of Elikan's grocery
store. This houee lie occupied during
the summer months by Mrs. Elwood,
Healey's mother-in law.
The money was found last night

1t WAS scattered on the beach, not far
from the place where the satchel was
found. Over 5000 was recovered. Near
where the money was found was q bot
tie OF sweet oil and two carpenters
chieels. These were proven to be the
property Of Feeler.
The coroner's jury found that Camille
Elikan was murdered BY Healey and
Feeler, or one of them. Healev had
been brought to the city by Sheriff
Cline before the verdict OF the jury was
reached and after its announcement
Deputy Sheriff Moore brought Feeler to
the city in buggy.
To HERALD reporter Healey told the
same gauzy stories he told the coroner's
jury. His statements are conflicting
and his manner shows plainly that he is
i'll at ease and laboring under q heavy
weight OF anxiety.
Camille Elikan, the man murdered 30
brutslly, was 80 years of age, a native of
Germany. and OF Jewish blood. He was,
in fact, q relative of Rabbi Blum of this
city. That gentleman took charge OF
the remains and brought them to this
city yesterday. The father OF Elikan
met with q violent death in Germany
some years ago.
Elikan WAS said to be q very honest
and upright man. very quiet in his ways
and not inclined to form close attach
ments or acquaintance. His time was
spent in his store during the day and at
night it was his wont to walk for time
With his promised bride and then retire
to his room.
Though forming few friendships be
was man who made few enemies. If
any. and it was this fact which put it in
the minds of the people OF the little
town that robbery could be the only
motive for his murder, and then came
the thought that whoever murdered him
for his money must have known his life.
Elikan purchased the procerv atore

deputies. William Cline and Moore.
Circu instances connect them with the
murder.
They lived in lodging house directly
back OF Elikan's store. The house was
empty save for their few effects, and
they have been there only since Mon
day. sleeping there and doing their own
cooking.
1t was nearly an hour after the MUIR
der that there two men joined the
crowd of excited men around the scene
OF the tragedy. Unasked, they told
how, when the shot was fred, they had
seen q single man running down the
alley which leads from the rear OF Eli
kan's store. They followed this fleeing
man, they said, and saw him 20 down
the steps to the beach; saw him throw
some object out into the breakers and
then race up the beach. Healey
fell out OF the chase. they said, but
Feeler followed close to the man for
fully three miles. He climbed the
stairs at Alamitos beach. they said, and
struck out across the open. Close to the
ranch house he lind single horse tied.
This he mounted and rode away into
the darkness.
Then the pursuer returned to join his
companion on the beach. They re-
turned to their room and discussed the
strange occurrence and then went over
to tell about it to the crowd; and all
this was done in less than an hour!
Suspicion fell at once upon these two.
The story they told was go uureas ona BILE,
the circumstances to connect item with
the crime go clear that it came to the
minds of more than one OF the excited
men before their tale was fully told.

The new city ordinance, prohibiting
the operation of toboggan slides in the
city, has been found defective by Mayor

years ago.
He has paid strict attention to the
business during the years, and being a
frugal man. has laid by quite a little
money. He owned come valuable prop
erty in Long Beach, besides his buei-
ness.
The grief of Ethel Lowe. the young
lady who was to have been his wife in
few months, is pitful. She bravely
faced the coroner's jury, however. and
gave her share of the evidence which is
to weave the web of guilt about the
murderers of the man she loved.
Once, when asked to identify his
satchel, she lost for a moment her self
control, as her eyes rested upon the OBJ
ject which she knew had been the cause
of his death, in a way, and a great sob
convplsed her, but in a moment she
recovered and told her story through.
FEELER MAKES ADMISSIONS.
On the way up from Long Beach last
night with Deputy Sheriff William
Moore. Feeler caved in. While not adj
mitting his guilt entirely, he expr eased
doubts about being able to clear himself
and said that this was the second time
he has been arrested for murder, the
other case Of which he finally got clear,
being in San Diego county.
Feeler's testimony before the coroner's
jury was very conflicting. more 60 than
that given by Healey, and he failed to
maintain his composure 30 we'll. He
stammered and hesitated, and his whole
frame trembled with fright.
Damaging evidence was found last
night by Deputy Sheriff Moore in the
shape of six cans OF beef found under the
porch OF the house where Healey and
Feeler lived. This brand of canned besf
was kept only by Grocer Elikan. The
officer also found suit of underclothes
hid behind the head of bedstead. the
suit being wet through. The brown
suit of clothes worn by Feeler on Thurs
day could not be found.
Healey and Feeler had stated on
Thursday to several people that they
had no money, and on the day after the
murder they both spent considerable
! money about town in various ways.
Mrs. Fisher, who lives in house d.
rectly back of Elikan's store, testified to
having seen Feeler standing in the little
yard at the rear OF the store on two diff
ferent occasions, both times at night.

gentlemen. and turning to his friend,
who, by the way. was a physician
he said:
"Were you out on any of the small

"Yes. had two cases today"
Were they bad onesf he was next
