POISON IN LEGG'S TEA
Sensational Case Recalled at Baker
City, Oregon.

BAKER CITY, Ore, June Lew
ellyn Legg, the O. r. & n. fireman who
shot and killed John Halstead in this
city Thursday night, is the man who
figured i'm sensational poisoning case
at Pleasant Valley a short time ago, in
which he accused his bride of three
days of attempting to kill him by
placing strychnine in his tea. He
gave as a motive that she expected to
obtain $4,000 insurance on his life.
His story was discredited, however
from the fact that the insurance was
not in her favor. The wife sets up a
counter charge that he placed the
not own a band of cattle reputed to
belong to her. A chemical analysis of
the tea revealed the presence of the
poison. A divorce case is pending.
When brought before the coroner's
jury in view of the remains of his
victim Legg looked the picture of de-
Spair. Under the advice of his attOr-
ney he refused to make a statement.
After the row over the woman in the
restaurant Halstead followed Legg to
the street and down the sidewalk, con-
tinuing the fight, before Legg pulled
his revolver and fired the fatal shot.
Legg was arraigned today on a
charge of murder in the first degree,
and preliminary examination was set
for next Tuesday.
Relatives of the murdered man live
in Portland.

took up a homestead and had as the
cattlemen express it, begun to live"
Brownlee was general favorte among
the cowboys and others, good natured,
hospitable and full of charity.
1t is said that during the spring
roundup a number of cattlemen had
been driven in by a sudden storm and
found themselves in Brownlee's cabin
About nightfall Myers rode up to the
house. dismounted and came in to get
warm. He had been in Grangeville
and was on his way to his cabin. He
complained about being half sick
When Myers talked about going on
that night Brownlee vetoed the idea,
put up his horse, compelled Myers to
go to bed, and himself slept on the
floor. In the morning he would not
let Myers go on, offering to get doc
tor, and would only desist from his
urging when it was made plain that
Myers indisposition had been a slight
one.
The men had been friendly at all
times, and, although Myers was some
what peculiar and Of rather a morose
disposition, he appeared to think more
of BrOWnlee than of the other men
about him.

gins, the 16-year- old girl whose mystic
riOus disappearance IL days ago has
caused the police no end of trouble,
has been discovered in a Park street
lodging house.
The finding of the young girl was
due to the efforts of Frank Bell and
Joseph Lynch, whom the police placed
under arrest on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the disappearance of the
girl. The two boys played the parts
of sleuths and located the hiding place.
Miss Virgins, it appears, had grown

PLAIN HIS PRETENsE OF
TAKING LIFE.
Court Decides That He Is Not Crazy
and He Has Been
Released.

PORTLAND, Ore, June IL. v.
Allen, a street-car conductor, who
disappeared from home about week
ago, with the alleged purpose of max
ing people think he committed suicide,
and thus enabling his wife to collect
from the Woodmen of the World $4,000
Insurance. was examined by County
Judge Webster and DR.. S. E. Josephi
mentally sound and was ordered re-
leased from custody.
Allen. when questioned by Judge
Webster. said he did not hide and said
he knocked around from one place to
another. He asserted that his wife
wanted him to commit suicide, so that
she could collect the $4,000 insurance,
but he concluded not to do so. He
made a very unsatisfactory explana-
ton concerning a letter which he
mailed and of which the following is
a copy:
PORTLAND, May %, 19O4.-C. H.
Piggott: When you receive this l will
be gone 1 want you to look after Reta's
of the certificate she has of $4,000 in the
W. O. W., which is fully paid up to
June 1. l see no other way out of the
predicament we are in. Yours truly,
E. V. ALLEN.
He said he intended to recall the
letter after he had mailed it, but neg
lected to attend to the mater soon
enough.
Allen and his wife were married
three months ago, she having respond
ed to a newspaper advertisement. He
told Judge Webster she had three pre-
vious husbands and he would not have
anything more to do with her.
Failing to obtain any information of
Importance from Allen, Judge Web
ster sent for Mrs. Allen, who was in
her. She positively denied that she
ever tried to encourage Allen to kill
himself so that she could get the in
surance money, and stated that mat
ters between her and Allen We're at
an end.
At the time Allen was first report
ed missing from home, Mrs. Allen
made the following statement regard
ing the matter:
Il do not know what has become of
him. Oh, goodness! 1 have had so
much trouble that 1 cannot think of
anything. 1 cannot tell you anything
about him this morning because 1 feel
so bad. See my attorney. 1 have
been living with a sister in Albina for
some time and have not seen him.
I'VE have been married but three
months. l came up from California
and met him here. He was at that
time a conductor on the Irvington line
A few weeks ago he resigned, and since
that time he has been respondent. He
was not strong man, and it APP
parently made him worse to work.
After he attempted suicide the first
time, about two weeks ago, | had a
warrant issued for his arrest on the
charge of insanity. The officers
could not find him.
