Morning Oregonian September 4, 1904
 Oregon City,Or.,Sept 3.(Special)- William Wilson, a local saloon keeper, and 
Charles Grider,also of this city,were in Hillsboro on the night that Bert 
Oakman fatally stabbed Frank Bennett. They witnessed the controversy in the 
Hillsboro saloon that resulted in the murder of Bennett. It is reported by 
them that a dispute arose ina saloon between Oakman's challenge to repair to 
the rear of the saloon and settle the dispute.
In going from the saloon,both men removed their coats. It is likely that 
Wilson and Grider,who were witnesses to the controversy and the stabbing 
affray,may be called as witnesses in the hearing of the charge against Oakman.
