MITCHELL SAYS NOT GUILTY.
Aged Oregon Senator Appears il
Court at Portland, Ore.

Aged Oregon Senator Appears in
Court at Portland, Ore.
Portland, Or, April 13. Judge
Belligers court was crowded yester-
day when the time arrived for Senator
John H. Mitchell to plead to four in
dictments found against him by the
late federal grand jury.
In a plea of abatement Senator
Mitchell criticized the acts of the late
federal grand jury by charging spe,
cifically that Jurors w. Robertson and
Carl Phelps, the original foreman and
secretary, respectively, had been le-
gally excused for the term pending the
Investigations, that Jurors Frank G..
Buffum and G. r. Pebler had been
drawn some time alter the grind jury
had been empanelled; that Juror
George Justin was not citizen of the
United States; that Jurors Frank
Bolter and George Essner
Were Not Taxpayers
as required by law, and that District
Attorney Henry was disqualified in
many ways, besides being prejudiced.
The plea of abatement was based
upon the case wherein Senator Mitch
ell is accused of accepting pay
through the law firm of Mitchell &
Tanner to expedite land titles before
the land department at Washington
in behalf of Frederick A. Kribs.
A demurrer was first filed, after
stipulati i'll between the government
and counsel for the defense that the
plea in abatement should not be
waived by the filing Of the demurrer.
Judge Alfred S. Bennett, as attorney
for Senator Mitchell, announced that
there was question of
Moral Turpitude
involved in the case wherein Senator
Mitchell is accused Of accepting $4,000
from S. A. D. Puter, and, therefore,
he would waive all legal technicalities
and be ready to proceed to trial with
out delay upon the issues at stake.
Judge Bennett entered a plea OF not
guilty for the senator in three of the
cases against him, two for conspiracy
under section 5440 of the Revised
Statutes, and one under section 1872
for accepting money while holding the
position of United States senator to
expedite title before the land depart
ment.
District Attorney Henry objected to
the pleas in abatement on the ground
of their being filed too late. Hearing
will be given Friday.

indictment, is the verdict brought in
by the jury at $50 last night against
G. D. Crawford, slayer Of Heino Lun-

deem but declared that he fired simply
to frighten his victim, and with no in
tention of killing any one. The lurch-
ing of the car, he said, was response
BILE for his shooting lower than he In

FORTS OF DETECTIVES TO
FIND HIM.

Cleveland, April 12.-The body of a
gray-haired man, much emaciated, was
found early yesterday between two
piles of lumber in the yards of the
Georgian Bay Lumber company, in
Stones levee along the river. Appar-
emily he had crawled between the
piles for shelter and had died there
some time Sunday night.
Papers found in the dead mans
pocket indicated that he was Martin
Meeker of Pennington, Mimi, and
that he had been an agent or travelling
man. A memoranda gave the names
Of G. N. Meeker, Owensboro, KY, and
Merrill Meeker, Pennington, Mimi, as
his sons. There was no money in the
mans pockets and the condition of his
body indicates that he was in starv.
ing condition when death came.

chronic disease and exposure were
the cause of his death. The body is at
the county morgue.
