deny some rumors which had been

plain the attitude of the Finnish peo-

cause Of the death OF Miss Hilda VIII

I4-year-old Willie Cook.

Cook residence FOR the purpose of pre-.
venting any attempt that might be

ton was contemplated.

disposition on the part of the Finnish
people to take the law in their own
hands. and we brand the rumor as
false. The Finnish people are merely
anxious that the law shall take its
course. We demand a thorough in
vestigation into the death of Miss
Willen, and if the shooting was ac-
cidental we win hope for the dismissal
of the boy from custody. If, on the
other hand, it is shown there was
criminal intent, we expect that he win
be punished. But at no time have any
Finnish residents contemplated vio-
lence. The mass meeing held in West
Astoria was called for the purpose of
providing means to defray the ex-

Mr.. Aliens Statement.

During lull In the proceedings yes
terday afternoon District Attorney AL
len made rather surprising state
ment to Coroner Pohl and the jury.
"There has been more or less COM
ment as to the attitude OF the au-
thorities since the investigation of
this case was commenced" said Mr..
Allen, "and rumors have been circu-
lated that the officials were not In
clined to properly conduct the inves-
tigation. 1t has been said, so / am
told. that the officials were inclined
to be negligent. Now, want to say
that statement is untrue, not only as
to myself, but as well as to the other
officials concerned. We mean to make
the fullest possible investigation, and
the reports which have been cIrculat-
ed are most unjust Fairness to the
friends Of the dead girl and to the
friends of Mr. Cook and his soon de-
mands full investigation. and Imean
to get at all the facts"
Mr.. Aliens statement seemed to
have a reassuring effect upon the large
number of Films present.
The district attorney then went on
to explain the legal status of the mat
ter. He said the boy. who was under
the age of l6, could neither be hanged
nor placed in the penitentlary, even
If 1t were shown he had been guilty
of involuntary manslaughter, of which
a man was convicted in this state for
killing his father under much the
same circumstances that the Willen
girl met her death. 1.-THE oregon su-
preme court has held" said Mr.. Allen,

WITNESSES TESTIFY TO THE .
COOK LADS GOOD CONDUCT

were Firms The Cook lad sat between
his father Police Commissioner Cook,
and his uncle. A. A. Cook. OF Port
land. John II. Smith appeared for
the boy. Messrs, Allen and wlnton
appearing for the state.
Among the witnesses called was DR..
r, d. Smith. post surgeon at Fort
Stevens, who had been engaged by the
Firms to examine the body of the un-
fortunate young woman, He said he
found no other bruise than the wound
made by the bullet. which had passed
through the heart of the girl. At the
request Of the Firms had made an ex-
animation for the purpose of deter
miaing whether or not the girl had
been. crlmjnally assaulted. but found
all vi the organs In normal condition.
This line OF testimony proved a de-
cided surprise. Victor Bergman. who
conducts . Finnish newspaper; l. w
Panttaja and Andrew Kaiiunki, who
had acted as q Finnish committee 10
arrange for the autopsy, were called
and testified that the autopsy was sat-
isfactory in every respect to them. A
boy named Peter Brach was also
placed on the stand, but his testimony
Was unimportant.
Sheriff LinvilIe was called and ex-
hibited block of wood into which
Willie Cook had fired one shot from
the revolver with which the servant
was killed. This evidence was pre-
sented to verify the statement of the
lad that he had fired one shot so as TO
have blank cartridge on which he
might harmlessly snap the hammer Of
the weapon.
Boy Is Gentle and Kind
The defense called large number
OF persons to show the character of
the lad. among them FIVE school teach
ers. The teachers placed on the stand
were Miss Mae Utzinger, Miss Ruth
Garner. Mrs Josie Mccormick. Miss
Anna Olsen and Professor McCormac,
of Shively school. All of them testi-
fed that Willie was a boy of splendid
HABITS, goodly disposition and charit-
able traits. They said he had never
been in trouble, and each of the edu-
Gators testified that he was considered
one of the very brightest and best-be-
hayed boys in the schools. Asked
whether or not Willie had ever been
overbearing toward children who could
not speak English, they replied In the
negative. adding that he was of even
temperament and considerate in his at
titude toward other pupils. The state
ments of all of the five teachers were
highly fattering.
Albert Dunbar. a neighbor OF Police |
Commissioner Cook. said Willie was |
the favorite boy on the hill. and that
he was held in high esteem by all the
OF the neIghborhood. W. II.
Walker, Mrs Walker. Miss Nora
o'Farrell, who had been employed at
the Cook residence; City Surveyor Tee,
Frank Carnahan and William F. Ross
all made similar statements.
Attorney Winton asked each of the
witnesses particularly as to the mem
tai attainments OF the lad. and was
assured by all that he was unusually
bright. The attorney seemed anxious
to make 1t clear that the boy was
bright enough to know the risk he
was taking when he pointed the re-
volver at Miss Willen.
