The following news story taken
■ from the columns of the Portland
Oregonian refers to Ralph J. Williams, j
one of the discoverers of the Williams-1
Gentzler mine, on Mineral Creek, and ,
i the' lady In the case Is Mrs. McNam
ara, whose hnsband was senteneed in 1
Valdez to serve twenty years for the
rrinrder of James Carpenter, at Cor- |
dova. i
Disclosing to the police where he |
had disposed of the valuable rings ,
stolen, and admitting choking Mrs.
Estelle McNamara to unconsciousness, ,
and then chlorformlng her so she
woulndn’t “come to” too soon and In
form the police, Leo J. Cameron, who
was arrested at Elavel Wednesday, \
waived preliminary examination and ,
was bound over to the grand jury yes- ,
terday on the charge of assualt and |
robbery. | ,
Cameron also admitted taking the1,
notes, valued at $6000, which were re-!.
>
covered four days after he fled, from 11
a Portland saloonkeeper, with whom11
he had left them. t
Meeting the man who had choked
her senseless, stripped the rings from I
her fingers, and stolen her valuable
securities, in the office of Chief of Po
lice Clark yesterday noon, Mrs. Mc
Namara at first accused him bitterly ,
of his mistreatment and faithlessness, j<
but, as Detective Craddock started to ]
lead him away to jail, she threw her I
arms around his neck, sobbed and i
i kissed him. i ]
j The reconciliation will not affect ]
the prosecution or the case, as the r.e- i
tectives have enough evidence to make i
a strong case, should Mrs. McNamara i
refuse to testify.
"I told you so,” was Chief Clark’s
remark when the woman made her
I demonstration of affec‘'-p for Cam
| eron. ”1 said that wcp'd happen man.
j All she waned wrs to hi re him
’ rmight. bark to her.”
A joke r-, the ftap "-r°-l
when she r-at rr”-’ ’a’ned r.gnins-t the
| who had been notified of th<> reward
! out for Cameron and to vatch out
| for him, was told by Cameron, who
1 said that while they were looking for
i him he was arrested In the e’ty one
i night for drunkenness, and was in
jail four days. During this time he
whom recognized him as the man
< wanted in Portland.
1 Dectectives Craddock and Smith are
the Portland officers who worked on
the case and finally traced Cameron
to where he was working on the Hill
line of steamships between Portland
and San Francisco.
One of the diamond rings was dis
posed of to the Standard Jewelry Co.,
In Portland, on the day of the rob
bery for $40. Cameron told the police,
and a plain gold ring was also disposed
of here. A second diamond ring he
sold in San Francisco for $112. He
. maintained that the two ruby rings he
_ had given to a singer in the Black
I Cat retaurant in San Francisco.
A letter written to the man in Port- :
land with whom he had deposited the
valuagle papers was found asking that
nan to send them to Ralph Williams
seneral delivery. San Francisco. "Will
ams" was Cameron.
Cameron lived in Portland for sev
;ral years, and his mother, Mrs. .1
j. Cameron, lives on a farm neat
Oregon City.
Bond for Cameron was fixed b>
Municipal Judge Stevenson on the re
tommendation of Deputy District At
orney Delch at $2500.
