JAMES K. BURKE
SELF-CONFEsSED FORGER
GOES TO THE PEN FOR
SIX YEARS.
Career of the Man Who Obtained
Money From Several Country
Banks-How He Escaped
Number Of Times.

H. Burke, whose true name is Ham.
lin, and who tor some time resided
in the vicinity of Troutdale, was
this morning sentenced to six years
in the penitentiary, upon pleading
guilty to a charge of forgery. Last
August, Burke went into the Hol-
land settlement, north of Forest
Grove, and represented himself as
an agent of Baker & Hamilton, a
San Francisco firm. He said that
he was selling farm implements
and tools, and went to various far
mers, getting them to write their
names and addresses on the pre-
tense of having catalogues sent
them. 's
He approached Walter Bernards.
wealthy rancher, and secured his
name and address, asking B rnards
to write it down himself. This was
done, and day or so later Burke
appeared at the Forest Grove Bank
and enquired if note with Mr..
Bernard name as security was
good. The bank replied in the af.
frmative, and, as there were two
brothers by the name Of Burke re-
siding near the Beinards farm,
supposed that it was a neighborly
loan.
Cashier Kane happe ned to drive
by the Bernards home that evening
and found that no one had ap-
preached him to act as surety. This
caused alarm and Mr.. Bernards
wen. to town the next morning to
intercept Burke when he was to ap-
ply for the money. He remained
in seclusion, and, as Burke passed
identified him as the man to whom
he bad given the name and address.
Burke went to the bank to cash the
note, passed the paper into the win
dow, and was immediately covered
with revolvers by E. w. Haines,
the banker, and Cashier Kane. He
was brought here and placed in
jail.
A few weeks later he and J. T.
Mcnamara broke Jail, and were at
large for about three wet ks. Burke
was located in Skamania county,
Washington, was arrested there by
Sheriff Totten. broke away from
that official while on the way to
Stevenson, was later captured by a
baIfbreed, and made his escape the
second time by overpowering his
custodian, and went down into
Clark county, where he was cap
tured at brothers house, late one
evening, By Sheriff Biesecker, who
shot the fugitive in the groin and
arm while attempting to break a.
way,
Before operating in Washington
county Burke. passed forged paper
at. Medford and at Jefferson. He
also planned q second jail break,
promising to give Tromley $1oo if
he would make keys to open the
corridor doors. The keys were COM
pleted but were discovered by the
sheriff, and Tromley will serve two
and one half years for the conspir-
acy. Sheriff Sewell will go to Sa-
lem Monday with commitments for
Burke, Tromley and Mcnamara,
in for two years for larceny.

ming the evidence of any wrong do-s
ing on the part of the land receiver
vas $50 fimsy that the days pro-
ceedings of the court were little
short of a farce, United States Die
trict attorney John "A. Hall did the
best be could with the material he
bad on hand, but the characters Of
many OF the witnesses ware most
viciously assailed by the attorneys
for the defense. Witness after wit
ness swore away the character of
Cunningham and O'Hara. Sailing
and RaYburn practically admitted
that they had committed perjury,
and that they had sworn to false
land af6davita. It was the testimo-
ny sworn to by O'Hara, Sailing and
Rayburn that moved Judge Bal
linger, in his charge - the Jury, to
refer to them az the three shame
less characters" who rad sworn
falsely in case il which Cunning
ham was the bene fciary.
Judge Bellinger, in his instruc-
tions to the jury, reviewed the case
carefully. 1t was very favorable to
Thompson aud he intimated that
from the evidence there was noth-
ing to warrant the jury finding the
defendant guilty. The jury retired
at Ais and in SO minutes
rendered a verdict not guilty on all
three Of the counts.
Washington, Dec. 5.-Notwith-
standing lne fact that Federal
court jury acquitted Asa B.
Thompson, suspended receiver Of
the La Grande land Office, of the
charge Of accepting bribs. Secre-
tary Hitchcock declares Thompson
cannot be reinstated. The secreta-
ry informed Senator Fulton that
the mere fact of Thompson having
been indicted indicated that "asome-
thing was wrong" and the indict-
ment, regardless of whether Thomp.
son was adjcdged innocent, had
impaired his usefulness as govern
ment official. He then and, there
told the senator the delegation must
recommend some new man for APP
pointment to this receivership.
When the Oregon senators learn
ed this morning of Thompson's ac-
quittal, they forwarded to Secreta-
ry Hitchcock kilograms announc-
ing this fact.
After the Secretary, had received
the foregoing note, the Oregonian
pondent inquired at his office
what, if any, change it had made
as to the secretary's determination
to dismiss Thompson, and was told
the secretary stood firm, and, more
over, that in calling on the Oregon
senators to name new receiver.
the secretary acted BY specific direc--
tion from the president.
Senator Fulton said today. when
told Of the situation, that no one
had been recommended to succeed
Thompson, and nothing is likely to
be done until Secretary Hitch
cocks formal acknowledgement Of
the letter mentioned is at hand.
Both senators are indignant to
think, that Thompson, ia view Of
his acquittal, is not to be reinstat-
ed, but they have not determined
whether to engage in protracted
controversy with the secretary over
this matter.
The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1903-12-09

+ q serious knife wound IN, the breast,
Robert Matt .son, an actor, is lying
at Good Samaritan hospital. While
taking part in an entertainment at
Gervais he was accidentally stabbed
by the leading woman.
Masteson is 81 years of age and
belongs to kdge of ODD Fellows
in Minneapolis. During the enter
tainment he was a principal in a
farce. He wasthe leading character
and a part of the play is the stab.
bing of the villain by the woman.
The actor wore board covered
with tin under bis clothing to pro.
tect him from Injury. However,
the actress struck to high and the
sharp blade entered Matteson's left
breast penetrating the lung and
barely missing the heart.
The injured man VAS somewhat
improved yesterday and it was
thought best 10 bring him, to Port
land for treatment last night. DR..
G F. Wilson is attending him.
While the wouod is serious it is be-
lieved the &C or will recover.
San Francisco, DEC. As pre-
l.dicted in special news service dis
patches 10 days ago, he Santa Fe
railroad has acquired the North
Shore railroad to finish the link
that will ,nnect Eureka with this
city. It is announced on good au-
thority that shareholders will re-
ceive 500 per share for their stock.
President Ripley has a 200. GOO
forfeit deposited against the stock
now being placed in escrow by To-
cal stockholders. The road oper-
ates to Cazadero, 105 miles north
! OF here. Surveyors are in the field
south and north Of Eureka, and the
same authority says it is the inten-
tion of the Santa Fe to reach PORT
land by the coast-line route as here
tofore rumored. This story the Of
fcials say is not correct, but they
will give no explanation for the ex.
tensive surveys.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 28.-Some
ten years ago there stood behind the
glove counter of a store here
young woman, Miss Georgia Davids
whose unusual beauty won her To-
cal fame.
A few days ago press dispatches
related how Mre. e. Ell. Power, the
wife Of a wealthy American in Lon
don, had lost package containing
gems valued at $4,000. Her hlus-
band notified Scotland Yard. and
within q few hours a cabman had
returned the package and found
himself richer by $8 600, he being
entitled, under the English law, to
20 per cent. Of the value of the find.
Miss Dayids and Mrs. Power are
the same, and the change in fortune
for the pretty Louisville shopgirl is
thus indicated. She now makes
her home in London, with every.
thing millions can bring her, and
has recently been touring the con-
hnent with her husband in their
tauto car.
The unusual beauty of the woman
attracted general attention, and it
! resulted finally in. her acceptance
of an Offer to 60 on the stage. After
q few seasons before the footlights,
her beauty and charms won the
love of a Southerner named Power.
and their marriage and life of
luxury and wealth is the lot that
came to the pretty clerk in the
Louisville glove store.
