MULINO FARMER CONFESSES
TO CONSPIRACY WITH WIFE
Continued from page i
At the United States attorney's of
fice In Portland where Jones was tak
en Friday evening by Assistant U. 8.
Attorney Latourette and Deputy Dis
trict Burke, Joner admitted he, figured
on getting into the spruce division.
wbere he understood his physical con
dition would not bar him from govern
mental work, and still he would pot
be compelled to do active fighting.
A pretty little mite of teminlnlnity
ahe was Just 18, and a typical west
ern ranch girl, If you please. Her riding-habit
was featured by a red flan
nel shirt, in all probability an extra
one ot "hubby's." ' - i
The warm glow of a 10-mlle horse
back ride on a chilly February morn
waa making futile efforts to camou
flage the anxiety and sarness plainly
written on ber girlish features
"I'm Mrs. Jones." she sobbed to
Clerk Harrington, after faltering for
a moment before the "war counter"
in tbe clerk's office "I come to see
about my husband -they took him
away yesterday. It was over cuttln'
off hla finger."
Sheriff Wilson and Clerk Harrington
took the young lady ap to the office ot
Deputy District Burke wbere It waa
explained thatHer husband was la the
federal jail, to face a charge ot evad
ing the draft by wilfully cutting off his
finger, and that he had confessed to
the officials Friday that the act had
been done by Mrs. Jones, at bis re
quest The operation occurred on the
Jonea farm near Mullno, Mrs. Jones
chopping off the index finger ot her
husband's right hand, with an ax.
The glow of youth and health faded
She started to aay something and
then btirled her face In her hands and
sobbed hysterically. And the officers
somewhat used to lltte tragedies of
Mfe turned their heads away.
From thlsp olnt on it was the old
old story. The little love-god suddenly
aroused the child-wife the bride of
four months.
"But be didn't do it." she sobbed.
"I suggested It and ot course he'd take
the blame for It Why, I'd rather
they'd take me an' hang me as tor to
take him. Wbat'd I want him to go
away over there fort What'll they
do to him? Why-whyl'd rather he'd
go to war than the penitentiary.
"I cut his finger off of course, I did.
I asked him to let me do It and for
over aweek he wouldn't I thought
it'd getshlm out ot the army. Welin
ally, went Into the woodshed and he
put his hand on the choppln' block. 1
finally cut off his finger.
"But how could you do it Mrs.
Jones?" asked tbe deputy district, at
torney. .'Didn't it take some nerve?"
"Nerve well I should say. . Why,
I couldn't never kill a chicken. I tried
three or four times before I could
strike the ax down on his finger. Fin
ally I struck and the finger come off.
I nearly fainted It bled so.
"I wish they'd take me 'stead o'
him," she continued. "He'd never
done It if I hadn't asked him. I ain't
eat nothin' since he left yeBterday
morning, for I kind a thought they'd
be trouble. I was alone last night an'
had to do the milkln' and feed the
chickens before I could get In today."
Mrs. Jones started back for the farm
Saturday afternoon, stating she would
visit he husband In Portland Monday.
It Is probable that she may have to
face" the charge brought by the govern
ment against her husband, as both are
held equally guilty under the law.

damage suit of the Gonong heirs I
against the members of the State ;
Highway commission .and the C. J.
Cook company, the contractors, was
filed in the circuit court Tuesday by.
Attorney General Brown and Jay Bow
erman. "
The answer makes a general denial
ot the damages claimed by the Ganong'
estate, by reason of the condemnation
of a portion of the Ganong lands at
Canemah tor the new. Pacific highway!
right-of-way. It is further alleged that I
condemnation was regularly begun by
the State Highway commission, act
ing in place of the county court which j
declined to institute proceedings, and i
that the Ganong heirs have already ap
peared in said action, and filed plead
ings to sustain their contention' ot
damages by reason ot the condemna
tion. It is further alleged that, the
highway commission took charge leg
ally after the filling of the condemna
tion suit They ask, therefore, that
the late damage suit be dismissed by
the court and that they recover their
costs and disbursements In the action.
