President Roosevelt, in which he ac-
knowledged in way quite characteris-
tic, the presidents thoughtfulness in
calling at his hotel to inquire about the
senator's condition. The letter was
written by the senator on the after
noon of Friday, February ), and was
the last business of any kind trans

mas death President Roosevelt sent
,h1 letter to Mrs. Hanna, in order that
copies of it might be made by the fam
lily for preservation. The original will
be returned to the president. who will
treasure it carefully in memory of his
dead friend.
Elmer c. Dover. Senator Hanna's
secretary, returned to Washington from
Cleveland late Tuesday afternoon. He
was authorized and requested by Mrs.
Hanna TO give the last letter of the sem
atOr to the public. Mr.. Dover says
that early in the afternoon of the day
the letter was written he was called to
the senator's bedside to take up some
business matters with him. That

Later the senator again expressed
his appreciation of the presidents
courtesy, and a little while afterward
called for pencil and paper and wrote
the following:
My Dear Mr.. President: You

you called personally to inquire after
me this morning. l may be worse be-
fore I can be better, but all the same
such ''rops' of kindness are good for

M. A. HANNA"
Friday afternoon
The next day reply was received
from the president with a note stating
that it was to be shown to the senator
when Mrs. Hanna thought best. Sena-

was as follows:

When the witness was charged with
the offense of working for three years
for such a man as Jordan, he said:
We'll. l am ashamed of myself. But

things that he wanted me to do which
were too dirty for me-"

A. N. HARMON, FORMER RESIDENT
OF WALLA WALLA, FIGURES
IN PERJURY CASE.
He Accuses Specialist in Seattle of
Numbering a Woman-sensa.
tionaI Case.

Arthur Harmon formerly of Dayton
later an organ agent in Walla Walla
and now private detective in Seattle,
is winning considerable notoriety Of
an undesirable sort. Wednesdays Sc
attic Times says:
A. N. Harmon, a private detective,
who is on trial on the charge of hiring
witnesses to commit perjury in the
Jordan Oldt damage case, swore on the
witness stand in Judge Georges court
this morning that he had obtained suf-
ficient evidence to convict DR.. J. Eu-
gene Jordan of the murder of Miss
Margaret De Boo; that he had proof
that DR.. Jordan had bribed Mrs. My
gait a witness at the cOroner's inquest
held to investigate the death of Miss
De BOe. to tell false story that would
clear DR.. Jordan of connection with the
death, and also that he had proof that
"henchmen of Jordan" We're following
him and Oldt about the streets with the
purpose of assassinating both or them.
In these sensational charges Har-
mon apparently was not shaken by the
severe cross examination that G.
Meade Emory, DR.. Jordan's attorney,
subjected him to.

Harmon's History.

For nearly half an hour the attorney
for Jordan had Harmon relating the
many occupations at which he had
worked during the last twenty years.
The witness declared that the only
work in the detective line he had ever
done was for Jordan when he was
prosecuting Capt. Frank Hardy for
swindlng him out of several thous-
and dollars. Harmon was finally forced
to admit that previous to this he had
watched the dealers of games in local
gambling houses to see that they did
not defraud the house by making false
payments.
Then the witness was asked rs to
the conversations that he was alleged
to have had with the witnesses. Brown
and Baker. about hiring them to COM
nit perjury. The states witnesses
testified that 1hese conversations took
place between January II and 20. Be-
tween these dates Harmon swore that
he stayed in his room in the Ohio
house. only leaving it at meal times to
go a few blocks to a restaurant.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-02-26

to keep his secret.
Harmon then told OF the plot or 700,
to have him ARE sted on some false
charge which, he claimed. eliminated
IN his present arrest. When asked il
he not tried to do Jordan injury by
circulating a story that the doctor was
responsible for the killing of Miss De
Boo last spring, Harmon said:
Reiterates Charges.
Miss De Doe last spring. l believe that
have sufficient evidence to convict
him for the murder of Miss De Boz. |
have a statement from Mrs Mygatt
that her story at the coroner's inquest
was false, and that if she had told the
truth DR.. Jordan would have been de-
clared to be the murderer of the wo-
man. believe, as the whole commune
ty does, that if the evidence had been
properly handled at the coroners in
quest a warrant would have been issu-
ed for the arrest of DR.. Jordan"
The witness then denied that he had
ever talked with the prosecuting wit
nesSeS about the Oldt case. He said
that on one occasion Baker was hired
by Jordan to commit perjury by swear
ing falsely to an affidavit in Jordan's
behalf in a civil suit brought against
him. Harmon SWOre that Jordan had
ago that Baker had made the false
affidavit for 500

The meter thieves are clever. In

Assassins Follow Him.

He gave as the reason for his stay
ing in his room that he and Oldt We're
followed about on the street by men
in the employ of Jordan. And when
he was informed by a reliable person
that Jordan had a plan on foot to have
both he and Oldt murdered, he de-
cided to stay indoors. Harmon swore
that both he and Oldt took advice from
their attorneys on how to protect them
selves from attack.
Judge Emory cried out, drama ica1ly:
L demand, Mr.. Harmon, that you
tell the name of the man who told
you that DR.. Jordan, was the instiga-
tor of a plot to take your life
Il refuse to dvulge the name of a
friend who saved my life by giving me
that information retorted Harmon
angrily.
Although Jordan's attorney contend
ed that the witness should be compelled
to divulge the name the court took an
opposite v e; and Harmon was allowed

Hsrmon's Cross Examination.

In fact the more bitter the cross-ex-
animation became, the stronger the
charges of a criminal nature against
Jordan fell from the lips of Harmon.
who was for the last three years the
companion and private detective of
Jordan.
Harmon said that not only did he
have the evidence, but he knew that
Jordan had $4,000 worth of diamonds
belonging to the dead girl, which he in
tended to have torn from their settings
and placed in the case of his watch.
The crowd that has been thronglng
the court room in the hope of hearing
something sensational was satisfied
with the testimony this morning. The
only witness called was A. y. Harmon,
the defendant. After few questions
by Judge Winsor which amounted to
a total denial of the charges of at
tempted perjury made against him by
the prosecuting witnesses, Baker and
Brown, George Meade Emory COM
menced the cross-examinatiOn OF Har-
mon, which extended over a period Of
three hours.
