Monday he brought to town a large
box of Mrs. Aldrich's clothes and left
1t at Martins livery stable, telling the
latter that he would call for 1t In a
week or so. Questioned about this
by he sheriff, Barnes said that Mrs.
Aldrich told him to leave the clothes
at the stable and that she would get
them herself.
Barnes also claims to have pur-
chased from Mrs. Aldrich for $500
or $1,000 Che is not certain which, a
bunch of horses and other personal
property, said to be worth $4,000. He
claims that no papers were made out
in the sale, although the money was
exchanged.
Barnes story Is a mass of contra
dictions although he sticks to his first
story that he took the missing woman
to Waitsburg Friday afternoon and
left her on the street there. Although
Sheriff Haviland and the town mar
shall of Waitsburg have spent hours
in trying to find a single person ia
Waitsburg who saw Mrs. Aldrich Fri
day, they have been unable to do so.
Barnes is not over 25 years Of age
and has practically no education. His
brothers who are occupying separate
cells in the county Jail are still young
er, neither being 20 years Of age.

men and for the banquet that is to be
given in honor of those men by the
Commercial Association of this city.
Arrangements for the meeting and
for the entertainment of the guests
are now we'll perfected and every
thing now awaits their arrival.
The meeting of the real estate men
is to be held in the Commercial asso-
citation rooms, commencing at
O'clock. While no definite program
has been arranged it is understood
that at the outset county real estate
mems association will be formed and
that later the subject of a publicity
bureau will be taken up.
But while the meeting will be for
the real estate men principally, the
public in general is invited to attend
and it is desired by those in charge
that the representative business men
and property owners be present
Following the meeting at the asso-
citation rooms a banquet will be given
at the Hotel Pendleton in honor OF
the visiting real estate men, and there
|~sa.l be room for 75 or 100 people at
the banquet tables. Aside from the

JUDGE BEAN ON
DOUBLE MISSION
REPRESENTS OREGON AT
CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS
Member of National Committee TO
Investigate Conditions at West
Point and Report to COngresS-Su-
preme Court Completed May Term
LaS Evening and Justices Are Scat
tering-Chief Leaves for East.

Shortly after o'clock last evening
the supreme court finished its May
session for this city and this after
noon Chief Justice r. S. Bean leaves
for the east upon a most interesting
trip, while the other four members
of the court are leaving today for
| different points about the state.
Chief Justice Bean will leave here
at 4:30 this afternoon via the North
ern Pacific for the east upon a double
mission, both of honor and import
ance.
At Washington the chief justice is
to attend the conference of governors
called by the president to convene
at the White House May 13. 1t is a
gathering that promises to become
historical in its significance for it is
understood that at the meeting Pres
ident Roosevelt is to make some
startling disclosures regarding the
monopolzation of natural resources
of the country and to urge that ac-
ton be taken to counteract the plans
of those who would secure control of
water pwer, fuel, timber, etc.
owing to the fact that Governor
Chamberlain is prevented by his sem
atorial campaign from attending the
conference, he has named Chief JUS
tice Bean c. S. Jackson and H. w,
Scott to represent the state of Oregon
at the conference. Ii is understood
that Mr.. Jackson will also attend the
meeting but that Mr.. Scott will be
unable to do so.
To Visit West Point.
The other duty which calls Chief
Justice Bean east is that of serving
with a board that is to visit the West
Point military academy. He has
been named as one of seven or eight
prominent men to. visit the academy
and to report to congress regarding
the work and the general status Of
affairs within the United States army
school, AS he will be there during
commencement time at the academy,
he is looking forward with interest
to the visit.
OF the other members of the su-
preme court Justice Eakin and Com
missioner Slater left this morning for
La Grande, Justice Moore returned to
Salem, while Commissioner King went
to Walla Walla.

Portland. May Mrs. Edward
Hugh Martin will stick by her hus-
band. No word of hers will be utter.
ed on the witness stand that would
assist in sending the ex-soldier to the
gallows.
This she declared to the police
Wednesday night, standing outside
the heavily grated door which bar
red her from her HUSBAND.
Martin declares that he can prove
an alibi. Attorneys have been. secur-
ed to defend him.
Evidence from the Salem sanitari-
um is now at hand to the effect that
Martin was insane from the use OF
drugs.
His wife called at the Jail to speak
to him last evening. As she leaned
forward to kiss him through the bars
she was pulled back by an officer
and refused the privilege.
Then she turned upon detectives
who stood about her, and told them
that Edward Martin would be clear
ed of the murder charge If her efforts
would be of any avail. At the same
time she admonished he husband to
say nothing to any one.
"Your fathers attorneys in New
York are securing counsel for you,"
she said.
1t was the first kind word the drug
victim had received since his inca.-
ceration.
Wednesday night the police found
blood stained overcoat and rifle in
a vacant lot near the water front
The coat has been partially identified
as one similar to one Martin was
known to own. The executors of the
Wolff estate declare that an examina
ton of the stock in the pawn shop
shows a rifle missing. Martin denies
ownership of the overcOat.
The police sent Martin through all
the agonies of an inquisition by re-
fusing his drug drenched system the
stimulant II craved so terribly. For
hours he paced his narrow cell,
pleading with the guards to relieve his
awful hunger.
Finally, his weakened knees crum-
bled beneath him and he fell across
his dirty, disheveled cot.
His means could be heard out of
the cell corridor and In the lobby of
the station. So pitiful were his cries
that even the heavy-eyed drunks and
listless 'vags" who occupied the bull
pen added their pleading to those of
Martin and begged the police to give
the poor devil his coke" then de-
tectives came to his cell door, dan
Cling a hypodermic syringe full OF
morphine before his fevered eyes and
tempted him to confess the crime and
take the drug.
But Martin did not confess. The
offer of the bribe seemed to brace
him, for he turned his back to the Of
ficers, closed his lips and did not
make another sound until finally the
authorities, despairing of breaking
the former West Pointers spirit, gave
up and supplied him with the injec-
ton his weakened system desired.

EX-United States Senator John NJ. |
Gearin has been retained as attorney
for Edward H. Martin, the alleged |

Walla Walla, May w H
Barnes, George Barnes. and A. j
Barnes are in the county Jail on a
charge of murder, and It is the be-
lief of Sheriff Haviland and his dep
uties that somewhere in the wild and
almost inaccessible region of the
Coppei the remains of Mrs. Anna
Aldrich, alleged victim of the trio,
will be found today. A reward of
$1,000 has been offered for the find
ing of Mrs. Aldrich, dead or alive, and
it VIZ intimated last night that addi-
tional rewards would be offered to-
day If the search for the missing wo-
man continued to be unavailing.
The disappearance of Mrs. Aldrich
under circumstances calculated to
arouse suspicion, created intense ex-
element in Walla Walla yesterday
and many people visited the Aldrich
ranch, eight miles east of the city
Warrants for the arrest of the Barnes
brothers had been sworn out before

noon, DR.. John r. Gose, son-in-law
of the missing woman being the COM
planning witness. Deputy Sheriffs
Berry and r. F. Haviland went to
the Aldrich ranch Tuesday to serve the
warrants, but found only George and
A. ]. Barnes there, w. H. Barnes be-
ing in Walla Walla at the time. The
two brothers were brought to the
county jail Tuesday, and yesterday
morning w. II. Barnes, commonly
known as Bud Barnes, was arrest
ed by Sheriff Haviland and Deputy
Berry.
Stories Conflict.
1t is the theory of the sheriff's Of
flee that Bud" Barnes was the prin.
cipal to the crime, and that his
brothers together with probably one
or two others were accessories Bud
Barnes was subjected to vigorous
sweating process yesterday, and told
highly conflicting stories of his ac-
tons on Friday last, but as far as
known has told nothing which would
indicate the probable Whereabouts of
Mrs. Aldrich
II am fully convinced that Mrs.
Aldrich was murdered by bud"
Barnes" said Sheriff Haviland when
he returned from the neighborhood of
the alleged crime late yesterday after
noon, and after having been working
all day on the case. In support of his |
theory, Sheriff Haviland enumerated |
the following circumstances:
mo less than three people saw
Barnes and Mrs. Aldrich driving up |
the lonesome road between Dixie Fri
day afternoon, and at least one saw |
Barnes returning alone"
Back of the Aldrich house yester-
day the sheriffs office found the |
strong box in which Mrs. Aldrich |
kept her valuable papers. The box
was positively identified by Mrs. ]. |
L. Bailey, daughter of the missing
woman.
In the stove were found the char
red remnants of a thimble and a pair |
Of glasses. said to have been used by
Mrs. Aldrich.
In the stove were also ashes indi- |
eating the hasty destruction of a
number of papers.
What is regarded as the strongest |
piece of circumstantial evidence
against Barnes is the fact that on
