NEWCOMB SHOWS
NERVE IN FACE
Of DEATH

Charles Newcomb, condemned
slayer of Martin Kvalshaug, wac
visited at the county jail this
morning by his sister-in-law, Mrs.
.. w. Lewis. Jailer Turnbull al.
lowed him to sit in the corridor
with Mrs. Lewis and for half an
hour they chatted pleasantly To-
gether, neither showing evidences
of grief.
Neweomb no longer wears I'd
somewhat idiotic grin which hs
assumed after his conviction. He
is calm and cheerful, but does not
smile affectedly and pretent indif-
ference as at first. 1t is evident
that he has nerved himself to face
his fate and take death without
wavering.
/ After Mrs. Lewis had left he
walked calmly back to his cell
with the jailer and seemed in ex-
ira good spirits.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. &C.
After demanding that Albert Will
son return purse containing SAP.
which had been stolen from him
earlier in the day, Samuel Curtis,
81 years old, a native of North
Carolina, and a Confederate veter-
an. shot Wilson twice with a A
caliber revolver late last night.
One bullet entered Wilson's
stomach and the other his breast
near the heart. That Wilson was
not instantly killed Is due to the
fact that he had an oval piece of
cake in his pocket over the heart.
which diverted the course of the
second bullet. He may live, al
thought his condition is critical.
Curtis was arrested shortly
after the shooting, but may no.
be prosecuted for shooting VIII.
SON in view of the fact that he
had reported his loss to the police
without avail and the further
fact that the purse and money as
described by Curtis were found
under Wilson's pillow after the
shooting.
