company with Sheriff Chrisman aud
Deputy Wood, Ed Gosson, accused
murderer of Ernest Bonomi, broke
down Saturday afternoon and con-
fessed to having slain Bonomi. Ac-
cording to his confession he lay all
night long near the Bonomi home on
Mill creek and close to dawn crept
close to the sleeping victim and shot
him in cold blood with a shotgun he
had taken from Bonomi's own house.
AT the report of the gun, Gossen
said, Mrs. Bonomi, who was sleeping
beside her husband. started from
sleep and springzng to her feet
screamed with fright. Then, CATCH
ing sight Of him in the dusk, called:
'Who is thaty' He answered, call
Ing Bonomi a foul name. IT have
shot him because my mother wrote
me he had threatened to kill her."
He told Mrs. Bonomi to keep quiet
and she would be all right, and that
he was going to Pendleton. Then, he
said, he ran Into the brush bordering
on the creek and making his way
down to the west bank, hid himself
in the outskirts of The Dalles until
past midnight, when he boarded an
eastbound passenger train and re-
turned to Pendleton.
Widow Completely Exonerated.
He asserted that at that time he
was nearly famished, having eaten
nothing since leaving the train upon
his arrival in The Dalles Saturday.
The statement of Gosson complete
ly corroborates the confession of Mrs.
Bonomi. made to Sheriff Chrlsinan
and Deputy Wood, In the presence of
her family physician Immediately af-
ter the coroner's inquest. which they
withheld from the public until Cos
sen could be apprehended. These
two confessions, each made without
knowledge of the other, entirely ex-
onerate the widow Of any completely
in the crime.
Gosson's confession, made to Off
GERS on the train, was tonight repeat
ed by him in his cell in the county
Jail, in the presence of DIR. z. e. Fer
guson. In her confession, Mrs. Bono
mi explained to the officers that af-
ter Gossen had shot her husband he
threw the gun down in the yard and
that before running to arouse the
neighbors she took 1t up, carried II
into the house and placed It back in
its case, for fear IL found in the yard,
people would think she fired the shot.
The motive which apparently led
Gosson to commit this atrocious act
was revenge for the threats of Bono
mi against himself and mother. and
not affection for Mrs Bonomi, as has
beon the public sentiment Of the COM
munity.

Of the Office is warranted. Since the

BUT DOES NOT ASSUME The DUTIES

more II. Stafford, and George F. Roth
as his sureties. Alderman Anderson
moved the bond be accepted and placed
on file, but Aldermen Brooks and Tren-
keuschuh were skeptical, and finally
Alderman Anderson changed his mo-
ton so that the bond might be refer
red to the finance committee to report
at the meeting next Monday. Alder
man Brooks thought the taking of the
oath should precede the filing of the
bond, and when he urged the point,
Mr.. Schaffer quietly informed the aid
ermen that he had been sworn in as
mayor. and presented the oath he had
taken before County Clerk II. B. Hub
bard yesterday. Then Alderman Tren-
kenschuh saw the light and inquired
whether action on the bond would tend
to make illegal any action the council
might take in the way of the adoption
of ordinances. there being in reality
TWO mayors. Mr.. Schaffer replied that
he proposed to follow the custom and
not assume his Office formally until
the first Monday in May, and that
Mayor McCaskrin's term does not eX-
pire until April - in any case.
The action of Mr.. Schaffer, however.

wanted to amend it to make the city
clerk pay his assistant from his own
salary, and to limit the force to one

specified 5000 year as the assistant S
salary II was argued back and forth
for some time, and finally Alderman

termined by resolution of the council
This carried. and the ordinance was
