CHAPTER XIV (Continued.)

HunstOn'S heart was full of anger
and hate, but he was bruised, bleeding
and in pain. For the time at least he
was thoroughly beaten. Shame was
mingled with fear. and his mind was
torn with conflicting emotions. The

Direct Primary Law.

To make matters still more compli-
Gated in the future the direct primary
law, which is in force, does away with
the party convention, substituting di-
rect nomination by the people, so that
any one filing a petition with requis-
lite number of signatures, may become
a candidate.
At the primary election the faction
numerically the strongest will, OF
course, nominate the candidate, and
this candidate will be knitted to fin
ish by the factions outvoted at the
of the recent Portland city election.
Mitche1rs conviction means more to
with the character of the population
would imagine. Oregonians are slow
and easy going. A majority of the
state has grown up during the Mitchell
regime and has grown accustomed to
look upon him as the kingpin of states
men. OF a winning personality, with
wonderful faculty for making friends
the Senator for many years has been
able to convince people that The
charges against him, which have float
ed through the state, were based upon
envy and malice and were groudless
Even his indictment failed to convince
and it took the conviction to open the
eyes of the people to what has been
going on for two generations.
Senator Mitchells bank account and
books submitted during the recent trial
showed that the Senator had received
during the last four years, as mis- share
of the profits of the law firm of Mitch
| ell & Tanner, which practically did nc
| law business, and whose employment
| was based solely upon the fact that

| the sum of $4,000, which added to his

mileage of $4,000, show that his total

erage of $4,000 a year. besides untolf

PARDONED FROM WALLA WALLA
PRISON HE NOW SERVING
LIFE SENTENCE.
Kills Three Men, Wounds a Fourth and
Is Now Confined In Illinois
Penitentiary.

Within four and a half months OF
the date of his pardon from the Walla
Walla penitentiary by Governor Nc
Bride last summer, John Clark, who
was sent up for burglary from Tacoma
four years ago, had murdered three
men, wounded a fourth, committed
several burglaries and other crimes
and was again within the hands Of the
law. He is now serving a life sentence
Tacoma News.
This record, which it is claimed has
never been surpassed by a pardonei
convict, has just been learned by the
Tacoma police, and gives the officers
an excuse for moralizing on the in
justice of giving any single man in the
state pardoning power. 1t is claimed
Clark was pardoned on his word that
the crime in Tacoma was mis- first, and
his promise that he would lead a bet
ter life, and yet, according to the rec
ords of the police, he was one of the
worst young men ever sent up from
Tacoma. Chief Mallory says Clark
was a brutal thug without a shred of
manhood about him. Officers who
helped arrest him in Tacoma say that
he was saved from committing the
crime of murder in that city by the
fact that his suspected victim was not
in the room which he robbed.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-07-08

arrested few days later. Clark was
convicted and sent to Walla Walla for
eight years. May g. last year, Cover
nor Mcbride gave him the pardon.
The following details of the four and
a half months that followed that May
2 are given as facts cleaned from the
records by the Eau Claire, Wisconsin,
Leader, a copy of which has just been
received by the police. The officers
knew that Clark was suspected of the
murder of Sheriff H. o. Harris, of Eau
Claire, but they knew nothing of the
other crimes or of his having been
sentenced to life term in the Illinois
peniteniary. In brief, the facts told
by the Leader are as follows: -
Loses No Time After Pardon.
After leaving the penitentiary at
Walla Walla, Clark travelled east over
the Northern Pacific to Bemidji, Mimi,
where he committed robbery and
brutally beat a man and struck wo-
man on the head. At Minneapolis ne
committed two robberies. Next, when
put off a train at Roberts, he stayed
all night at a hotel and committed
robbery before leaving in the morning.
1t was this robbery at Roberts that
led up to his first and most notable
murder. A good description of the
robber was obtained by druggist in
the town and was furnished to Sheriff
H. O.. Harris, Of Eau Claire. At Eau
Claire, Clark attempted to dispose. of
some jewelry stolen in Minneapolis
The sheriff heard of him and got on
his tracks. He attempted to arrest
him on a train going from Eau Claire
to Elroy. 1t was on the night of June

THE CONVICTION OF MITCHELL
MARKS PASSAGE OF REPUB-
LICAN MACHINE.
Aged Senator Has Predominated Poll
tics Of the State For Over
Forty Years.

The conviction of Senator Mitchell
marks the passing Of the old egime in
Oregon politics and completes the dis
ruption and disorganization of the Re-
publican party I'M this state is a re-
port that comes from Portland. For
forty years Senator Mitchell has domi-
mated the politics of Oregon and the
events of the last few days have
brought down with crash the house
Of cards so carefully constructed. In
his conviction the seemingly impossi-
BILE has happened, for the venerable
stateman's hold on the state mas been
so great in the past that it was
thought impossible to secure his con-
viction no matter how clear his guilt,
for there is no hamlet in that state so
remote that it does not number among
it's residents warm partisans of the old
Senator.
In the early sixties John H. Mitchell
arrived in Portland and before ne mad
been there year was elected district
attorney and began career that has
few parallels in American history.
From the outset he was bitterly fought
and his domination has created ir-
reconcilable factions in the Republican
party. His election as Senator has al
ways been accomplished by the aid of
Democratic votes. A large part of mis-
own party has bitterly fought and de-
nounced MIN, but in spite of their OPP
position he has usually emerged vic
torious, and during his long course has
built up machine by the aid of fed
eral and state patronage that seemed
almost invincible.
Oregon is overwhelmingly Republi
can but there are grave doubts
whether the party can ever again be
united in a state campaign. One fac
ton invariably knifes the victorious
faction, which accounts for the state
having a Democratic governor, it's
largest county a Democratic sheriff
and district attorney and it's largest
citv a Democratic MAYOR

glary, Clark stationed his three male
confederates on the outside to guard
against detection, while he carrying an
AK in his hand entered the room
through awindow. 1t is said he con-
fessed to the police after the trial that
he would have killed Mrs. Smith if

not to be in the room and the thief
had no trouble in securing his booty

dents Of Southeast Washington, in the VI
entity of 18th street and Georgia avenue,
called on the District Commissioners today
to request that the fire limits of the city be
extended to the Eastern branch. Mr. WILL
liam M. Potter, as spokesman for the COM
mittee, stated that the erection of several
frame houses are contemplated in that sec
ton of the city, where Woodworking and
reputable citizens were endeavoring to
maintain good homes. 1t was to prevent
the erection of these frame houses that
the committee petitioned the Commission
Mr.. Potter dwelt upon the rapid progress
of the extreme section of Washington In
recent years, of the new buildings and resi-
dences, and declared 1t to be wrong that
frame dwellings should be permitted in the

ever and the Commissioners will give 1t
