himself 10 Sam Hayden. | hope Dowhs
will enjoy the blood money that Hayden

That Al Sink knows very well that ne
wilfully lied and nisrepresented VIVA.
he swore on the witness stand. me,
! Al Sink in Portla nd, and he asked me Il
knew where his brother was. tolo
him that the last time saw Ray was IN
salem. and that Ray told me that ne
was going down to Newberg win
friend Of his. | did not tell Al Sink thal
his brother was going with a schooI
ma'am, but what said was that Kay
was going with a iriend. When mel
Al Sink in Portland, spent about two
hours with him. When we parted we
were on the corner Of Meier q Frank g
new store. He, Al Sink, asked me
where ,the Portland Business College
was. | told him and showed the college
I to him. asked him II he (Al sink
were going mp to see some school ma'amY
lie said no. And that is where AL
Sink took his school ma'am from. Al
Sink knows that he made up lies and
swore to them as truth. feel sorry for
Al Sink: he shall surely have to meet
his God.
Last. but not least, j. 4. Van Orsdel,
sheriff Of Polk county, in name, but still
not sheriff. Van Orsdel had ought to be
today back on his farm selling milk. lie
is more suitable man for his farm than
he is as sheriff. Half the people in Polk
county today run the sheriff as 1t suits
them. Van Orsdel will do anything his
so-called friends tell him to do. He has
not the manhood to stand up for what is
honest and right. He will and has
broken all laws Of man and God. Van
Orsdel has sold his body and soul to a
gang Of villainous cut-throats. They |
have got Van Orsdel under their thumb. |
They tell Van Orsdel to do q Z and that,
and he goes and does II as he is ordered
TO do by the gang. God have mercy on
such weak man. The night before |
Van Orsdel went on the witness stand |
and periured himself before man and
God, Chief Mclaughlin and those de-
tectives Of Portland had Van orsdel in
a room and had him drunk. Mel augh-
lin and the detectives went by the order
of John Hall and Sam Hayden. They
got Van Orsdel 10 promise that he would
do as they wanted him to do. They
gave Van orsde taffy, and told him that
he Wan 0rsdel) had to do just as they
told him. II he did not do as they bid
him he could not get Office again. Van
Orsdel perjured himself when he swore
that his hands were tied and a gag in his |
mouth and that was on his breast
(night Of the break. Van Orsde had |
not gag in his mouth, but he had a
towel held over his mouth, but not a gag, |
but his hands were not tied at all. did |
not choke Van Orsdel, and was not on |
his breast. As Van Orsdel swore that |
was on him, it was a man named t.arned |
that choked him and was on his breast.
Van Orsdel has got me to thank, in place
OF condemn, as Van Orsdel knows, ana
a. told already, that kept HIM from
getting hurt that night. But he turns
around and misrepresents the whole
thing. When Sam Hayden and the
gang got hold of Van Orsdel they had
him 70 lie and tell IL as they wanted him
10 do. Indeed, you cannot expect any
thing more from a man like Van Orsdel
when he is in the hands OF man like
Sam Hayden. feel sorry for Van 0rs-
del because believe that he was man
before he went into politics; but he is
hypocrite before God, and an enormous
liar before man. Van Orsdel goes to
church on Sunday and gloats himself
with whisky during the week, as he has
told me many time that he had to
drink and 10 what his friends wanted
him TO do, because he said that he wanted
10 run for office again.
Kind reader, ! have not the time to
90 over all Of my case but wish could, |
but IL will take too much time 10 do 80.
only wanted to state to you those wit
nesses that wilfully and deliberately |
periured themselves and lied for money,
There are few other witnesses
hat testified against me that got
hearsay and rumors mixed pretty much,
