THE MORNING OREGON! A.N. FRIDAY, JUNE 5. 1908. BLURTS OUT TALE OF MANY WRONGS J. Whits Evans Repeats Tale of Blackmail Owen Also Has Tale to Tell. TOOK AWAY OWENS' WIFE Former Friends Expose One An- ' other's Becords ITnsparingly in Court O-acns Doubts Whether Evans Married Mrs. Owens. LOS ANGELES, Cal., June (Spe cialsBefore a crowded courtroom and displaying an animosity that appeared foreign to a man of his demeanor, J. Whyte Evans, of Portland, who headed a party of Los Angeles financiers over two years ago and formed the United Railways Company in the Rose City, laid bare the secret of his past today during the trial, of Dr. J. S. Owens, of this city, former husband of Mrs. Evans who is accused of having extorted money from Evans on the strength of his prison record. "For seven years he Jias pursued me with demands for money. He knew that I had been Jn San Quentin Penitentiary for an indiscretion 1 committed when I first came to California. I had told him when we were bosom friends, but he wanted money, always money, and used his knowledge' of my conviction to persecute me continuously. I paid him until I finally was driven to desperation and decided to put a stop to it by hav ing him arrested for blackmail." Gets Outburst Before Jury. The outburst came as a surprise to William Anderson, who is assisting Depu ty District Attorney Paul J. McCormick in the prosecotlon of Dr. Owens, and he was unable to enter an objection to the denunciation until the witness had fin ished. Then counsel succeeded in having Judge Charles Monroe strike the state ment from the record as not responsive to the question, but the full force of the unexpected utterance was apparently not lost on the jury. It was the most stirring day of the trial, which has already caused as much Interest as the most celebrated cases in the history of Southern California. Back Rnd forth flashed incidents in the past life of first one and then the other of the principals in the affair, and appar ently nothing was omitted to strengthen the . side of each. Loans or Blackmail? Letters and telegrams were read that had passed between Owens and Evans regarding the alleged debt of the latter to the accused, said to amount to $3000, and to represent borrowed money. Evans declared vehemently that he owed Owens nothing, and that through Owens' system of demands, he had paid Owens more than had ever been re ceived during their days of friendship. Owens said he was in the courtroom several years ago when Evans took out naturalization papers, and that Evans did not answer the question as to his prison record. Evans denied that. A letter was read which Owens ad mitted having written to J. V. McNeil, of Chicago, a brother Maccabee, In which he threatened to secure the lat ter's expulsion from the order unless the money owed him was paid. Owens said he was McNeil's family physician and had to resort to such measures to enforce collection. Regarding the re lations of Owens' former wife with Evans, the defendant said: "He went with my former wife to Scotland, they stopped at the Audi torium in Chicago and I telephoned him from the Sherman House and asked him to pay some of the money. He gave me $250 and promised to give me a goodly sum on his return from the European trip if he succeeded in disposing of his holdings in Ocean Park, which he said was worth $13,000. I went to California and learned he had deceived me. When I asked him later to live- up to his promise he bought wine and jollied me. Finally I lost patience. My letters and tele grams brought no tangible results. I had to stop him from robbing honest people; it was my duty to the public. "I told my wife all about him be fore she left me for him. I told her that he was an ex-convlct and had a wife, destitute, in Scotland, from whom he had not been divorced. Upon the head of our little girl.' I implored her to think it over before she cast her lot with him. Does Not Believe They Married. "Did J. WMyte Evans ever marry your former wife?"' was asked. "I don't believe he ever did," replied Owens. "I asked her. I asked him. I asked her friends and my friends, but they refused to tell me." Owens broke down and wept. When asked what he meant by a sen tence in one letter reading: "The woman you are now living with," Owens said: "I meant that my former wife, shortly after she had divorced me, was living in the same building with Evans, with an open door between their respective apart ments." The case will be argued tomorrow. PICK POCKETS OF CROWD Thieves Busy During Fast Side Carnival Last Xight.

Half the time when a person feels blue and out of sorts you may take it for granted that he is a victim of the "lard habit." Lard-cooked food and good stomachs are never friends for long. Lard food is not healthful "food and no ordinary stomach can thoroughly digest it. Lard comes from the pig-sty; Cottolene from the cotton fields of The Sunny South. Lard is greasy, indigestible, and sometimes absolutely harmful; Cot tolene makes food digestible, nu tritious, delicious. Cottolene 'is the perfect shortening and frying me dium. It is pure and healthful. Itcontains not an ounceof hog-fat. Cottolene is today in use by thousands of housewives who would no more think of going back to lard than they would of reverting to tallow dips for light ing their homes. .

USEFUL HINTS TO HOUSE KEEPERS A COAT of Natural Jap-a-lac applied over old or new linoleum or oil cloth will double Its life, by preserving the original coat of varnish which would otherwise soon be washed or worn off. "WEATHER BEATEN front doors ar revived and beautified when coated with Jap-a-lac, and "newness .follows the brush." It Is best to use the color nearest that of the old finish. WINDOW and DOOR screens should be coated with Jap-a-lac each Spring, using the Brilliant Black on the wire, and the Manogany, Oak, Cherry or Wal nut on the frames, it gives them new life and the wire cloth Is protected from rust. PORCH FURNITURE should be pro tected and beautified each Spring with Jap-a-lac. It is best to. use the color of the old finish; but If you wish to change the color, use Red or Green Jap-a-lac. WICKER FURNITURE coated with Mahogany, Ox-Blood Red, Malachite Green or Gloss White Jap-a-lac. looks better than new. WATER PIPES, furnace fronts, radi ators, hot water tanks and iron fence are preserved and beautified with the uso of Jap-a-lac. Use the Gold, Alum inum, Dead Black or Brilliant Black. PICTURE FRAMES, candelabra, gas fixtures, lamps, etc, given a coat of Gold, Aluminum or Dead Black Jap-a-lac, are renewed almost beyond belief; the Dead Black produces that beauti ful wrought-iron effect. OLD AUTOMOBILES, carriages, wagons, agricultural Implements, etc.. Jap-a-lac-ed with either Brilliant Black, Red, Green or Empire Blue, look 100 per cent better, and are given new life. The cost is nominal, and the work can be done by an inexperienced person.
