With the sentencing of l G. McDon ald, professional burglar, for the rob bery committed at the house of Mrs. M. R. iicDonsld. 710 Kast Madison, two weeks ago, ends one of the most re markable studies In the Inaccuracies of tke human mind, ever displayed in local criminal annals. Out of the case comes with tritnphant exoneration Mrs. Myrtle Kne. the young and pretty wife of a Perrydale railroad agent. To all appearances everyone con cerned was telling the truth as he saw It, yet now that the facts are clear It is almost unbelievable how far from the truth the statements of some of the witnesses were. They themselves say they cannot explain their mistake. Coafeealoa Reaaevea Sasplcloo. Had not Mrs. U C5. McDonald, wife and dupe of the burglar, confessed that it was she who placed the stolen ar ticles In the pawnshop, whose pro prietors positively Identified Mrs. Knes. the latter woman, though already freed by the grand Jury, must always have carried a cloud of suspicion on account of the convincing nature of the testi mony against her. When Mrs. M. R. McDonald returned home February 11 and found that her house had been entered in her absence, Jewelry, furs and clothing being taken to the aggregate value of $."0. she re ported the facta to the authorities, and letecilvea Moloney and Coleman were assigned to the case. They determined that the theft was done by someone who had mccrmB to the place. They based this conclusion on the fact that the house had not been forced and that the doorkey. In the absence of Mrs. Mc Donald, had been hung In a secret place outside the house. On Inquiring who could have known of this fact, they learned that Mrs. Knes had lived In the house, and noted n suspicion against her. which was eagerly combated by Mrs. McDonald. Hut when a photograph of the woman, loaned by Mrs. McDonald, was Identi fied by two men In the pawnshop, where a small part of the goods had been found. Mrs. McDonald consented to sign a complaint and a warrant was Issue,! for Mrs. Knes, who was at Dal las. Or. Usi Asserts laaeeenre. Detective Moloney went to serve the warrant and was met by every show of surprise. While waiting for a return ing train, he was shown by the woman arrested that she could produce nu merous witnesses to establish an alibi, but the officer, with a warrant to serve, had no option but to bring her to head, quarters. Arriving Saturday night, he pre sented the milt.. doubtful aspects of the case to Captain Katy. who decided not to consign the fair prisoner to Jail. She kih released on her recognizance, returning to headquarters Sunday morning. All that day she sat In the conference rooni. accompanied by her sister and husband, both of whom de clared positively that she had been with them In Perrydale all the day of the robbery. Monday the deadlock con tinued, even after the two pawnshop tnen ha.l repeated their Identification of her photograph. Ilandnrlllag Appears Same. Then a handwriting expert ws rallel in. and upon his positive assertion that one hand wrote tno pawn in-Kei ann the specimens made by Mrs. lines, the decision was made that the protesting prisoner must I J locked up. It was thouclit that tho expert scarcely enubl be mistaken, because the resemblance of the scripts was obvious. Only technically was Mrs. Knes Jailed, passing an hour behind the counter at the police station, while her husband scurried about for the re quired liooo ball. This was soon pro duced, insuring appeamnce in Munic ipal Court the next day. Throughout the proceedings Mrs. Knes maintained a confident yet sor rowful bearing. wh..e friends rallied to her and strengthened the alihl. The grand Jury took up the case and refused lo return an Indictment. So the case would have rested, per haps, but for a remarkable chance that befell Mrs. McDonald, the victim of the robbery. Hiding in an automobile Thursday night, she passed a woman and man. the woman carrying furs that she recognized as hers. leaving her car she accosted the pair and demanded the return of her property. She was met by a hold front, but stayed on the rail until she ran the man and woman to cover In an Kast Sldo rooming-house. Then she telephoned to the. police, and 'aptain Rat v. Detectives Coleman and Moloney answered the call. M fbi Ka capes, but la Cauabt. The man. who proved to be L. G. McDonald, alias Turner, escaped, but through the assistance given by the woman, his wire, to me ponce, ne waa captured and within two days pleaded gulltv to several burglaries and re ceived an Indeterminate sentence In the enltentlary. The wife, a weak little woman, look ing as unlike Mrs. Knes as could be, freely admitted that It was she who pawned the articles on which her dis similar "double" came so near being convicted. Confronted with this fact. the pawnshop men could only express their wonder and regret at the mis take, while still asserting that they had been honestly positive that Mrs. Enea was the right woman. Indignant at the mlstnken arrest. Mrs. Knes left the city vowing reprisals in the courts against those who had caused her arrest, but as yet has taken no action. Roth the police and Mrs. Mdonald. the complainant. Justify their action by the remarkable showing of evidence which led to the arrest. Cordwoor, Plabnood.

Fourth Symphony Concert Evokes Enthusiasm Large Aadlenee at llelllg Nates Step Forward by Players. BT JOSFPH M. QVENT1X. IN' spite of the sunshine and the call to get out of doors either In a motor or trolley car Just to see how Spring looks in the country, a large audience hear! the call of music and journeyed to the Hellig Thrater yesterday after noon and thoroughly enjoyed and be came enthusiastic over the fourth con cert this season of the Portland Sym phony Orchestra. More and better variation in musical selection was noticed in the pro gramme, and the offer in? was again of marked educational value. The con ouetor of the day, chosen by ballot, was Harold Barley, who In his musical readings was quiet, scholarly and com petent, lie kept straight to business and followed his score faithfully, tak log no liberties with it. Hearty ap plause greeted the rendition of each selection. No new numbers were played as encores, but the orchestra was forced to repeat Westerhout's merry popular "Rondo D'Amour." With two exceptions she fmporta tlon of first oboe and first bassoon players from Seattle all the orchestra mrn who attneared on the starve are Portland residents, and regular mem hers of the symphony orchestra. The fine ensemble result, very creditable to all concerned. Is the fruit of many pa tlent rehearsals and attention to dis rinline. and showed what can he ac complished by friendly co-operation by brother musicians, who share profit and loss on a commnr.ilj basis, in the absence of a guarantee fund or en dowment scheme. These questions were asked in yes terdav's programme: Is the Portland Symphony Orchestra filling a real need in this city or not? Have this season' symphony concerts contributed ma terially to .card the elevating of musl cal ideas in Portland, and has the or thestrj added anything to the reputa tion and dignity of the city? The best answer Is given by tho high musical worth of yesterda3''s concert. The or chestrn is filllnsr a need, and music la plaved that can only he played by svmnhonv orchestra. The answer to the second question is emphatically "ves. The string section was well led yes terday and never stumbled once. Its leader was John Rayley. who occupied that post because he drew the lucky number entitling him to act as concert master. Robert K. Millard, one of the two flutists of the orchestra, furnished excellent pro?rmme roles on the Mendelssohn and lirahms numbers, and tlvese contributed toward the pleasure of the concert. More valuable than all other musical offerings gi-en was the Brahms nym phony No. 4, in E Minor." played here as a premiere. Mut-ical authorities, and competent ones, are by no means ugreed on the disputed question, whether Johannes Brahms, who was born in Hamburg, In 1833. and died in Vienna in 1897. is entitled to a place among the great musical -composers of all time. Brahms Is better known In this country through his charmingly beautiful songs. He stood In his day for established order In musical com position; he created no new school of his own like Wagner end his K minor svmnhonv has conservative, orderly Rrahms written all over it. The las movement has a fine atmosphere of sentiment, something creditable to a bachelor composer. Vesterda's Brahms was an orchestral gem. 1 he Pierne movement for strings was most wel come, while the m.islc of the English composer. J. Edward German, In the "Oipsv Suite." formed a Joyous and mest fitting finale. Well done, all. The next and last symphony concert this season will occur April 14. with M. Chrlstensen as conductor.
