Burns Detectives Working on
Case for Six Months Arrest
Man Living in WaIIa WalIa.
ACCUSED MAN WILL
MAKE NO STATEMENT
Matt Jepson Was Murdered
With An Axe and Then
Thrown Into a Cistern.

Murder in the first degree for the
death of Matt Jepson is the charge
against Charles Vonderahe, Freewater
man. who was arrested Saturday aft
ernoon about five o'clock near the
Oregon Washington line and is now
held in the county Jail.
Talk to my attorney" was the re-
ply of the accused man when asked II
he had any statement to make con-
cerning the charge against him. He
has retained Raley, Raley and Steiwer
to defend him and was in conference
with Fred Steiwer this morning.
The crime for which Vonderahe Is
held has been one of the darkest mys-
teries in the annals of Umatilla county
murders, and his arrest is the result OF
an investigation carried on for SIX
months by the Burns agency.
The body of Matt Jepson, 63-year-
old recluse, was found in an open cis-
tern near his dugout on Government
}, Mountain 16 miles from Milton, Au-
gust IA. 1921. Near the cistern were
Jepson's shoes and his hat apparently
placed there to lend an air of plausi-
bility to a suicide theory, officials be-
ueved MT the time. The finding of
bloody axe in the straw roof OF the
dugout led to the murder theory, now
ever, and when an analysis OF the
blood showed that it was of human
origin this theory was strengthened.
Head Was Crushed
The murder was committed July "a,
according to information held py
county officials. The discovery oil tne
BODY was made by Deputy sheriff
Sykes of Milton August 1S after per-
sons who passed the mountain place
noted that Jepson's livestock appar-
emily had not been receiving any at-
tention.
The head of the dead man had been
crushed, an examination disclosed.
The motive for the murder, accord
ing to the theory entertained by the
authorities then and now, was re-
yenge. Jepson was said to be opposed
N moonshining and information given
nv him Is said to have been responsible
for the arrest of Vonderahe' VINO Oh
May %, 1921 appeared in the court OIL
Justice B. B. Rlcnarus at Atheha "n.''
Maid a fine of $4O0 imposed on nm
when he pleaded guilty to the charge
of operating still not far from Jep, ,,
sons ranch. He was also given jail
sentence of 80 days which was sus-
pended by the court during good be-
havior.
Grand Jury Recommends
The murder of Jepson occurred
about two months later.
In connection with the moonshine
theory, Fred Patterson was arrested
and was held in the Jail here LOT
number of weeks, but he was f'naliS
liberated after the state failed to con
meet him definitely with the crime

INCENDIARIES SUSPECTED IN
FIRE

The one and one-half story frame
residence on Nineteenth street, oc-
cupied by Elmer Without, was badly
damaged by fire at late hour Mon
day night. The fire department was
summoned by an alarm from Box
35, and upon arriving found the
house mass of flames. The depart
ment by hard work kept the blaze
confined to the roof and the rear OF
the building, but considerable dam
age was done to the remainder by
fire. smoke and water. The firemen
were assisted by the neighbors in
saving the greater part Of the con-
tents.
The building belonged to w. j..
Kenton. The family was away from
home at the time the fire was dis
covered. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but is thought to have
been the work of incendiaries, as
several suspicious circumstances de-
yeloped later to strengthen the the
ory advanced by the firemen. The
blaze was first discovered by Mrs.
c. M. Brown, wife of Louisville
& Nashville conductor, who had just
returned from Cincinnati on late
train and was preparing to retire.
Mr.. Without, who is connected
with the Rawleigh Medicine Co..
had a stock of goods, valued at
about $1,000, the loss on which was
covered by insurance. His loss on
goods and household effects was es-
timated at about $1,000, fully COW
cred by insurance. The loss on
the house was estimated at $1,000,
with no insurance.
