Ieung All Duck Testifies
Strongly Against Lee Toy
and Interpreter Da Silva
BEATEN ON BOARD SHIP
Tells How She Was Coached
in Hongkong and ON the
Steamer by Her TormentOr
BEATEN ON BOARD SHIP

Leung All Duck told a story yester-
day on the witness stand in the United
States District Court duplicating Lee
Toy, a wealthy resident of Phila-
delphia, and Hippolyttus da Silva.
formerly interpreter in the Chinese
Bureau, in the business of importing
Chinese women to this country for i'm
moral purposes. The accused men were
being tried before a jury on an indict-
ment presented several months ago.
Through DR.. John Endicott Gardner,
bureau interpreter. Leung told the jury
about an eventful episode in her his
tory. She was a slave girl, and was
released by her mistress to a Chinese
man who turned her over to Lee Toy
in Hongkong for the purpose of being
taken to the st. Louis Exposition. She
told how she had been coached by Lee
Toy and Da Silva to say to the immi-
grant officials on her arrival here that
she was going to the exposition to act
as waitress in the tea garden. Lee
Toy, she said, also told her the real
purpose for which she was being taken
to the United States, and warned her
not to let the immigrant officials know
anything about it. On board ship she
was also coached by Da Silva, and
when she ventured to demonstrate Da
Silva beat her. Lee Toy was present,
she said, when Da Silva beat her, and
Lee Toy remarked, You haven't been
beaten enough; you must be beaten
some more"
The woman added that when she ar
rived here she told the coached story
to the Chinese Bureau officials, but re-
fused to swear to it.
During the testimony Of the woman
numerous objections on technical
grounds were made by Bert Schlesinger
Lee Toy, and Thomas C. West for Da
Silva, but Judge de Haven brushed
aside all technicalities and directed that
the woman should be permitted to tell
her story in her own way. Then Mr..
Schlesinger took the almond eyed lady
in hand for cross-examination.
You never intended to come to this
country for. an immoral purpose, did
your" ne asked.
NO. was the reply. sI told Lee Toy
on the steamer that never would lead
an immoral life"
She said further that Lee Toy had
threatened to hang her should she re-
fuse to testify to the coached story.
The witness was still on the stand
when the court took an adjournment
until this morning. The case is handled
for the prosecution by Ben L. McKin-
ley, Assistant United States Attorney.

INSINUAIIONS
DISPLEASINC
Executor Bridgford Takes
Exceptions to Questions
Asked by A. J. Clunie

The plasters on the Clunie- e-Briogford-
White wounds were pulled off again
yesterday, and the soreness re-ex-
hibited to the critical eye of Judge
Coffey. Andrew j. Clunie, half
brother of the late Thomas ]. Clunie,
and one of the three executors of his
will, in pursuance Of the examination
in the matter of his objections to the
account of administration rendered by
E. A. Bridgford and ,Burrell G. White,
the two other executors, had the former
in range of the fire of his questions for
most of the afternoon, then fired few
scattering volleys at White
During the examination of Bridgford,
Clunie demanded an exhibition of the
witness private account at the Western
National Bank, of which Bridford Is a
director Clunie said his purpose was
to show that Bridgford and Judge
Grant had divided the $4,000 attorneys
fee allowed to Grant by White and
Bridgford, for legal services rendered.
Bridgford declined to produce his
private account, and the court suss
tanned him. In the course of the per-
sonalities which followed Clunie said:
You have been holding my money
away from me and using 1t for your
self, and you have been using the
money of Others In the same way"
Judge Bridgford paled, but restrained
himself, and a moment later he said,
IT am tired of your insinuations."
Whereupon Judge Coffey interrupted
with "I can try this case without refer
ence to these personal matters.
Clunie proceeded to examine Bridg-.
ford upon the matter of Grants en-
ployment, and asked as a matter OF
fact whether the Woodland Judge had
not been employed before there was
any contest, and whether Mrs. Clunie
had never really made contest, but
had simply asked for a postponement
of her proposed claim for community
property in lieu of taking under the
will. He also asked whether Mrs.
Clunie's father, in her behalf. had not
first offered to settle for $4,000 and
then for $4,000, which Bridgford ad-
mitted; but he declared that the pro-
posed settlement was interrupted be-
cause Andrew Clunie flew into a pas
that he would not contest the guardian
ship of Jack Ciunie. Here Clunie asked
whether he had not prayed, almost on
his knees, for Bridgford to settle Mrs.
Clunie's contest.
Bridgford. satirically, said, IF you
went on your knees there would be
holes in your pants to show for it."
Clunie retorted. mo, am not in the
habit of praying, or passing the plate,
like you"
Whites examination as to the en-
ployment of extra attorneys brought
out nothing new excepting that Walter
Robertson asked for $3500 before ac-
cepting $4,000 for his services.

Young Man Kills
Woman and
Himself.
Double Crime IS
Caused bu
jealousy.

On discovering that the woman with
whom he had lived was playing him
false and owing to the slow but sure
encroachments of poverty, Edward e.
Tidcombe, member of prominent
Portland, Ore, family, shot and killed
Mrs. Georgia Nelson, whom he
was supposed to have married
four months ago under the alias
of E.. L. Jameson. Tidcombe
then sent a bullet into his brain and
fingered for several hours before death
ended his suffering. The tragedy took
place at 945 Stanyan street at an early
hour yesterday morning, but nothing
was known of it's startling details until
nearly noon.
S. Richmond, from whom Tidcombe,
under the name Of E. l.. Jameson,
rented apartments, was summoned TO
the telephone yesterday morning by
woman who asked for the Jamesons.
Richmond knocked at the door OF the
Jamesons' room but received no re-
sponse. At IL o'clock the woman again
telephoned and Richmond made sec
ond attempt to arouse the roomers.
Becoming suspicious he looked through
the keyhole and saw Tidcombe lying on
the bed, his head resting on blood
stained pillow.
The landlord notified the police of
the Park Police Station. Corporal
Rainsbury responded and decided that
1t was best to force the lock to the
Jamesons' room This was done and
the apartments opened just as Captain
of Police Gleeson arrived The in
vestigators found the woman dead in
bed and the man lying by her side
with q bullet in his brain. Mrs. Nelson,
or Jameson as she was known in the
house, had been shot sack of
the left ear and was almost
instantly killed. From the posi-
ton of her body it would appear
that the shot was fired while she slept.
Tidcombe had wound under the right
ear, the bullet penetrating the brain.
He was still breathing. The ambulance
was summoned and the wounded man
was taken to the Park Emergency Hos
pital, where he died at 1880 last night.
CAUSE A MYSTERY.
The mystery in the tragedy lies in the
fact that the desperate deed appeared
wholly unpremeditated. Tidcombe,
upon retiring Monday night, had care
fully placed his trousers under his pill
low for the purpose of pressing them,
where they were found in Ihe morning
wet with blood.
The floor was strewn with letters ad-
dressed to the woman from many male

BAEHR WINS BET
FROM TREASURER McDOUGALD
Draws Down Wager by Signing More
Municipal Bonds in an Hour
Than His Associate.

Auditor Baehr yesterday won a SIS
ha: from City Treasurer McDougald
as the result of a wager made as to
which of the two city officials could
sign the greater number of municipal
bonds within one hours time. Baehr
and McDougald, together with Mayor
Schmitz and Supervisors Clerk Fay,
have been busily engaged in the task
for several days past. The first named
two were returning from lunch when
McDougald began to brag about the
number of bonds he had signed the
day before. IA
''I'll bet Il signed more than any
other official, said McDougald.
'1'll bet that 1 can sign more in an
hour than you can" retorted Baehr.
Done for So hat" replied Nc
Dougald.
Timekeepers were appointed and the
two officials began operations. At the
end of the hour Baehr had signed exact
ly 500 bonds, while McDougald had af-
fixed his signature to 497. McDougald
paid the bet like little man, but
claims that he lost because his name
contains more letters than that of
Baehr.

Applications for Habeas Corpus
Writs ON January 80.

The seventy-nine women arrested at
e20 Jackson street and 1929 Dupont
street during the raids of the Grand
Jury and deputy sheriffs filed into

piled, and the Judge said he would

PORTLAND, Jan. 24-Edward c..
Tidcombe was well-known young
man here He comes of a good family
and had been Lying with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Tfdcombe, at 700
Thurman street. He was a graduate
of high school and member of Multi

employed as bookkeeper for the Toke
Point Oyster Company and embezzled
a considerable quantity of money. He
was a poker player and lost heavily.
All last summer he is said to have lost
regularly. 1t is not known how deep
ly he was indebted to his employers, as
they have never made very deter
mined effort to locate him.
When he left 1t was supposed that
he had gone to- Mexico. But within q
few weeks a number of Portland peo-
pie had met him in San Francisco.
where he had been living under
an assumed name. Whenever seen by
Portland people he was with a wom-
an whom he introduced as Miss
Nelson, who was supposed to have
eloped from Portland with him when
he left. Whether he was married to
the woman or not is not known,
though his mother heard indirectly
that he had been married.
The news of the tragedy came as a
shock to Mrs. Tidcombe. She had ex-
pected. to visit her son in about two
weeks.
