The pestle Is 16 inches long. Is

OF the prettiest specimens of Indian
stone work as has been seen in this
city William Gardner OF the Tutuilla
Construction Co. presented il to Ma
jor Moorhouse.
The curio is causing a renewal of
speculation as to the methods used
by the early Indians in fashloning
these implements. Present day In
dians know no more about the meth
DDS than do the white people for the
machinery OF civilization has made
the art useless to them. The pestle
was used by the Indians in their NOR
tars for grinding corn and berries.
Major Moorhouse thinks the site of
the la Dow block was at one time a
camping ground or burial ground Of

MANS CONFESSION CLEARS
PEMDER OF MURDER CHARGE

SALEM, Ore, Jan. A lock Of
his own hair. taken from the hand OF
one of his victims. who had fought
desperately for her life. and that of
her child, held before his eyes, caus-
ed John G. H. Siercks. a feeble-mind-
ed inmate OF the state insane asylum.
to confess to the killing OF Mrs Daisy
Wehrman and her little boy in their
cabin. near scappoose, the night or
September 4. 1911.
Thus, the authorities say, Is John
Arthur Pender, convicted OF the
crime and sentenced to be hanged.
proved guiltless. He will. II is be-
lieved. be freed by executive order In
a few days.
Mr.. Thacher Solves Case.
Credit for solving this most heinous
and most mysterious of oregon crimes
belongs TO George A. Thacher, a Grim.
inologlst of Portland, Once con-
vinced that Pender was inocent he
worked almost increasingly in putting
the threads of his evidence together.
Finding in the insane asylum a man
who answered the mental description
of the one he believed capable OF
committing the crime, he had little
difficulty in bringing about its COM
plete solution.
There seems to be no doubt OF the
truth OF Siercks' confession. While
feeble-minded, he is capable OF rea-
soning and seemed to understand
thoroughly what was meant when he
was asked to stand and take an oath
to what he said. He signed the con
fession with a bold hand and seemed
much relieved thereafter.
