IN A A RECEIVERSHIP GOSTS LITIGANTS $96,000 BANDIT'S WIFE FAILS TO REACH N IAIN Believed That Postal Officials Stop ped Her While Enroitte in Order to Question Her as to Her Husband's Activities During Past Year May Have Been Held Near Portland' for Arrival of the Inspectors .Whs,.. Searched Home Here Somewhere between Portland and Topoka Mrs. Wells Lounsorry, Is ovl-' dontly being held by a Postofflcc In- spector for the purpose of "sweating" her and learning what she knows In regard to her husband's previous ac tivities. Mrs. Loucserry left Portland last Saturday morning and was duo Bt Topeka Tuesday morning but has failed to arrive according to advices from there. It Is known that Mrs. Lounsberry was put under surveil lance nt Portland and that an inspec tor left that city with her. Hor fail ure to arrive at Topeka Indicates that she is being held for examination. Knowing that her husband is badly wounded it Is natural to supposo that she will tell all that she knows to the officials If they will only allow her to proceed tc his side. This, In Itself, would prove an effectual "third degree." Seek Confession Tlio wounded bandit continues to, improve according to reports. As ' soon as ho Is able to leave tho hos pital he will probably face trial. Ills aged father, a government employe, reached Top&Va Wedaeg'foy.yTjffet That Mrs. Lounserry was under surveillance from tho moment she reached Portland was known Jn this city Monday practically being ad mitted by Inspectors Perkins and Temple who Investigated this end of the case. Following their search o( tho resldenco Sunday afternoon the; got In touch with the chief Inspector at Spokane. Inspector Perkins was asked If ho expected to proceed east to Topeka and replied that he did not know "as yet." Later he stated that he and Inspector Teraplo wero ordered to Portland for a conference. Taken Into Custody It Is believed today that Mrs, Lons berry was taken Into custody beforo f she had left Portland very far and that Perkins and Temple left not for Portland, as they stated, hut to somo other point a short dlstanco east whore they could question her aftqr having searched the homo In this valley. That the two Inspectors found in criminating evidence before tholr search proccedod very far is known by tho fact that they spent a vory short tlmo nt the homo of the homo of the Lounserrys and did not search the outulldlnga or the houso thoroughly, This was Sunday after noon and although they Bpent tho en tiro day In Medford Monday thoy did not return to tlio Lounserry place. Only tho fact that they found convinc ing evidence early In their search would explain their willingness to leave tho placo oforo thoy had pro ceeded far with the search.
