Oregon City Man Challenges Body Identity in Spring Brook Case
Attorney Frank Hesse of Portland presents a sensational affidavit disputing the identity of the man found at Spring Brook schoolhouse near Cowego on September 72. Bernhardt Halstby asserts the dead man is his brother but offers no conclusive proof. The deceased carried 600 in gold. Coroner Holman handed the money to Clackamas county treasurer. Two weeks after burial, Effie B Robinson of Firland Station claims the body is her father F A Williamson from Texarkana Texas. Hesse hired a private detective to counter her testimony.
