ahead of the previously announced time

officer, to escape possible lynching at the

of the Federal grand Jury, which is to
b called in January. The prisoner has
abandoned efforts to secure bonds.
Spirited Away by Officer.
In custody of Deputy United States
Marshal Tom Hammersiey. Scriber left
!. Grande Wednesday night. It had
teen previously announced and arrarged
that the officer and prisoner should leave
Thursday, but local conditions, according
to the officer, caused him to decide I pon
a sudden change of plans.
"From Information I received from the
PherifT and others at I.a Grande. I de
cided that It was Imperative for me to
take the prisoner away at once. There
were all kinds of talk of lynching end I
was convinced that It was my duty to
remove Periber from the scene.
"In order to avert anything of the
kind, the Sheriff of Union County had
kept a force of deputies on guard at
Scrlber's house for several days. In
view of these things and the open hos
tility and constant threatening reports
and rumors I heard. I took the pris
oner and hurried away from I.a Grande
12 hours ahead of the time we had
intended to lea-e."
Departure Wan Most FltLfuI.
Hammersiey describes the scenes at
tending the departure of the banker
as pitiful in the extreme. Members of
the family it Is said, were oblivious to
the violent attitude of the mob.
Broken In i.plrit. hopeless. Involving
none but himself In the great bank
disaster of Kastern Oregon, the La
Grande cashier willingly, and almost
gladly, passed through the great steel
gate at the Jail last night. He talked
readily of hts troubles, of the failure'
of the bank, and asked no favors.
"I alone am responsible." gkriber ald.
"and must stand the consequences. But
this I want you to say for me that they
cannot find a dollar that I appropriated
to my own use. a dollar that 1 used for
peculation or a dollar that I squandered
It all went In an effort to save the bank.'
Great Pride In Bank.
Fifty-two years of age, with a hanking
experience of 1ft years, this ex-cashier.
w-hofe pride In the hank and the attend
ant prestige of his position, according to
his story, caused h!m to wreck it utterly
and dissipate the savings of hundreds in
futile efforts to rave it, gave no evidence
in appearance of the fearful strain he has
endured. For four years, according to
hlsttory last right he has practiced every
deceit and subterfuge he could deviate to
avoid suspicions of the bank examiners.
There are no gray hairs, no turrowed
cheeks, no dark lines beneath the eyes.
Jndt-ed. it is only the narrow wrinkles
shout his eyes and the deep look of hop-:-hss
terror there that Indicate the fright
ful struggle to elud the examiners for
the past four years. He was very
nervously talkative.
It was partly this look of hopeless
terror that caused the Federal authorities
to Incrense his bond to JiV. which they
knew he could not Fiiise. so that he might
be taken Into custtwly. In tlw jail he
has no means of suicide, and every pre
caution to prevent even possible eflorts
at self-destruction has been taken.
Roirw of His Troubles.
It was in 1fl that Scribers financial
troubles began, according to him. That
Is when the Siinipter bank in which he
was Interested broke, end If he had closed
his I w Grande bank at that time, sub
sequent tronhle would have been everted.
From the time of the closing of the
Bumpter bank, he said, he hud resorted
to every trick and subterfuge at his com
mand to keep the bank going.
According to "ntted States Attorney Mo-
Court, tlie actual cash snortage is $12.0j0,
wliile the total shortage will be as much
12'rt" chiefly through forged notes
find similar Instruments. Scriber will be
prosecuted by tlie Federal authorities.
Although he has abandoned efforts to se
Vure bonds, he would b rearrested at
ence in case of his release. -
Scriber yesurduy filed a petition in
bankruptcy w..ich will probably reach the
office of the clerk of the United States
Court today. His entire estate, he says.
Is valued at JT.oort. while liabilities are de
clared to be $S4.oV. The difference, he de
clared, would be used for the benefit of
the creditors of the defunct bank, a possi
ble to be applied to the payment
of more than nV").
Will Turn Oicr Everything.
"I propose to turn over everything I
have for the benefit of the bank's credi
tors." he aald. "I have Just filed a peti
tion In bankruptcy and shall turn over
everything to them.
"The amount of my assets, according
to the sum I Just mentioned to yoit. doa
r.ot Include my holdings in the bank."
he said. "I have shares of stock and
l ad contracted for 1M shares In addition.
J hold 1S6 shares In my own name and
they of course will be turned over to
the bank, but whether or not It will be
possible to realize anvthtror on them I
do cot know. But it tilings had gone right,
if my plana had worked out as I ex
pected them to do. my own holding
could have saved me.
Blames Only Himself.
'I have nobody to blame but myself.
I did things which 1 should not have
done, but I did them for the bank.
There was no one In whom I could con
fide. I could not take my attorney
Into my confidence, nor the director
of the bank. I was by myself, and I have
blundered, my plana did not work out.
and I must take the consequences.
"During the last year, since last No
vember, money has been scarce and it
has been extremely difficult to keep
th bank going, even doing as I did.
But tuere have been many, many times
during the past year when the bank
HURRIED

had much less money on hand than
at the time It closed."
SMILES OX LEAVIXG FAMILY
Scriber Exhibits Xo Feeling, While
Other Cry With Broken Hearts.
PENDLETON". Or.. Oct. 23. (Special.)
Arrested for the third time last night,
J. TV. Scriber. the La Grande bank
wrecker, was brought to Pendleton on
the night train and arraigned before
United States Commissioner Halley this
morning on the charge of forgery. He
waived a hearing, and. unable to furnish
the K5.000 ball demanded, was taken
to Portland this afternoon by United
States Deputy Marshal F. E. Ham
mersiey. where he will be held In Jail
while awaiting trial.
tVhen asked if he wished to furnish
ball, after the amount had been fixed.
Scriber declared he would make no effort
to furnish such a sum. He Insisted that
should he do so. additional charges would
be preferred and more bail demanded
with each reoccurring success in se
curing bonds, and that he had given up
all hope of keeping out of Jail by this
means.
Though Scriber has shown himself to
he as thoroughly heartless. Marshal
Hammersiey says that in all his 15 years'
service as an officer, he never saw any
thing quite o pitiful as the sorrow of
the banker's family when the man was
arrested and taken away last night. The
officer declared that It was painful to
see the way those children suffered and
that he himself was compelled to turn
awav to keep from breaking down. But
It did not bother Scriber. While every
body else was crying and It seemed that
the grief of the children would be enough
to melt the heart of any man, he smiled
through it all.
"I thought he would break down -hen
I got h.m to the train." said the officer,
"but he did not.. He took It coolly and
could even sleep."
When the officer and his prisoner
reached Pendleton. Scriber paid for a
special guard and they went to a room
In a hotel. The man for whom the pen
itentiary doors are yawning, slept as un
disturbed as a child. While waiting for
the train today. Scriber laughed and
chatted galy with his friends.
While here. Scriber admitted to Ham
mersiey to having forged the name of
Sheriff Childers. one of his best friends,
to a note for $2000. and also the name of
O. F. Coolidge. one of his bondsmen. It
was the discovery of this latter fact,
as much as the announcement of the
greatly Increased amount of shortage,
which led Coolidge to want to be re
leased and to have Scriber taken Into
custody.
Hammersiey declared that the people
of I-a Grande were getting greatly
worked up over the continued disclosures
of additional evidence of wrongdoing on
the part of Scriber. and he believed that
had he waited until today that there
would have been a demonstration asalnst
the banker at the depot. He gave it as
his opinion that only the lack of a leader
has saved Scriber from violence at the
hands of enraged depositors In the de
funct Institution.

THREE CONVICTED
TWO ESCAPE
Verdict Returned in Federal
Court in Los Angeles Con
' spiracy Case.
NEW TRIAL TO BE ASKED
Counsel for Defense Granted Ten
Days in Which to File Motion.
Trial Hard Fought From
Step to Step.
After being out for five hours and 55
minutes, the Jury in the United States
Court that heard the evidence In the con
spiracy case against the defendants In
the Pacific Furniture & Lumber Com
pany, found Dr. A. H.- H-rdderly, William
H. Smith and Richard Hjnes guilty a
charged in the indictment, and Lee R.
Myers and Jeremiah Huntley. ex-United
States Commissioner for Curry County,
not guilty.
The trial, although not attracting much
attention locally, has been one of the
most important land-fraud cases tried In
Portland since the Representative Will
iamson case, and It Involved more acre
age than any thus far tried by the Gov
ernment. In the conviction of the three
defendants, Tracey C. Becker, special as
sistant to the Attorney-General, and
United States Attorney John McCourt
feel that the Government haa won a sub
stantia! victory.
The trial of the so-called Los Angeles
conspiracy case has been fought with
considerable vigor and the end Is not
yet. No sooner had the Jury rendered Its
verdict than Attorneys McLemore anu
John Manning asked for the ucu.il ten
days' stay, which was granted, and will,
at the end of this time, demard, a new
trial.
The case In which th three defendants
were convicted was an attempt to obtain
something like 30.001) acres of timber
lands in Curry County, forming a belt
of timber that would extend to Northern
California. It was shown by the evi
dence that the officials of the company
through their agents. Induced persons
to buy stock In the company and tal;?
up timber claims, for wnieh the com
pany was to pay the filing fees and also
to purchase the claim ftcr the final
papers had been received.
Throughout, since the Indictments were
found against the defendants, the case
haa been vigorously fought, not only in
the Federal Co-.rt here, but In Los An
geles as well. Most of the defendants of
whom there were a dozen or more, were
residents of California and the California
defendants especially fought removal to
Oregon. Some ot them were successful
and the cases against them were dis
missed. Two died before being brought to
trial. The Government has never been
able to locate one of the defendants.
Jn this case, like others that have been
tried in the Federal Court here the penal
ty calls for a county Jail sentence or term
of years In a Government penitentiary, or
a fine of from ti to 110,000, or both fine
and imprisonment.

RACES, THEN" SHOOTS SELF.
Went to Bay City From Idaho for
Treatment Stranger Swindles
Him Out of $00.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29. (Special.)
Despondent from Illness and brooding
over the loss of the money with which
he had expected to secure treatment, H.
B. Lage, a German farmer from Wenona,
Idaho, attempted to commit suicide In
Golden Gate Park this afternoon by
shooting himself, and now lies fatally
wounded at the Central Emergency Hos
pital. Lage came to this city from Idaho two
weeks ago, intending to procure medical
treatment for rheumatism, a disease
from which he had been a sufferer for
several years. Shortly after his arrival
in this city he met a man, who persuaded
him to Invest $100, which was nearly all
the money that he had, in bets on the
races. After securing Lage's money, the
stranger disappeared, and Lage, prevent
ed by illness from working and lacking
the means of support himself, determined
to end his life.
While on the operating table Lage told
his story to Chief Steward C. C. Bucher,
and the Police' Department, when in
formed of the circumstances, detailed De
tectives Bell and Murphy to Investigate
the case, with a view to locating the man
who swindled Lage out of his money.
Laborers Suspected of Crime.
Deputy Sheriffs Leonard and Beatty
last night arrested A. E. Peck, Mike Cal
lahan, Fred Hart and Albert Artlfur, all
laborers. In a logging camp one mile
south of Llnneman Station, on the Esta
cada line, on suspicion of having at
tempted to burglarize the house of Oscar
Moore, a rancher, who lives on the road
about half a mile from the camp where
the men work. The attempted robbery
was made a few nights ago and was dis
covered by the 17-year-old daughter of
Mr. Moore. She awoke In the night to
rind a hand feeling around under her
pillow. She screamed and the Intruders
grabbed her by the hair and attempted
to smother her with a pillow. Her
screams had-aroused the household and
Mr. Moore came running to the rescue.
The robbers had made their escape and
no trace of them was found. Examina
tion showed that they had gone away
empty-handed.
Cows Take Part In Parade.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29. Five cows on
their way to peaceful homes in Brooklyn
came near breaking up the Republican
parade on the way to the Taft meeting
at Madison Square Garden last night. The
cows were being driven along Sixth ave

moving towards the garden. The bands,
the yelling and the red fire caused con
sternation among the cows and with
their heads down they charged the
marching Republicans. The marchers
scattered In every direction and It was
not until the police and the man who
owned the cows rounded up the fright

ATWDODS II JAIL
Father and Son Arrested on
Serious Charge.
HELD UNDER NUISANCE LAW
Drs. C. H. T. and C. H. Atwood Are
Taken Into Custody on Charges
Growing Out of the Death
of Pearl Lamb.
Dre. C. H. T. Atwood and C. H. At
wood, father and son, who have offices
in the Allsky building,' end who operate
a private hospital at Tremont station, on
the Mount Scott line, were arrested last
night about 6 o'clock at their hospital by
Deputy Sheriffs Bulger and Kelly on a
warrant sworn out by Assistant District
Attorney Fitzgerald yesterday afternoon
before Justioe of the Peace Olson, which
charges them Indirectly with being in
strumental in causing the death of Pearl
Lamb, a young woman from Eugene, Or.,
who died at the Atwood hospital on Mon
day night following the results of mal
practice. The accused doctors were taken
to the County Jail, where they were kept
In default of $1000 cash bail each.
The arrest of the Drs. Atwood was
made a little earlier than had been an
ticipated, owing to information which
reached Assistant District Attorney Fitz
gerald to the effect that one of the de
fendants was preparing to leave for Eu
gene for the purpose of destroying evi
dence obtained against them there. The
warrant in this case does not charge the
J.fnn.l.nta VL1th TT1 ftJlSlftUghter. but
charges "indecent and immoral acts
which openly outrage public decency and
are Injurious to public morals." This is
the same statute as was used in the pros
ecution of the defendants in the now cel
ebrated Lane-Waymire-Radding case.
District Attorney Cameron said last
night that this was the first instance in
which an offense of this character had
been prosecuted under this statute. He
said he had instructed that the prosecu
tion be brought In this way because of
failure in the past of prosecuting officers
in securing conviction on charges of
manslaughter. The claim made by the
Atwoods to Coroner Norden when the
investigation In the case was first begun
that the malpractice alleged wafi not ef
fected by them, but by a Eugene physi
cian, is discredited by the prosecution,
which makes claim to having evidence
showing that the malpractice was actual
ly done by the Atwoods and that the
statement signed by the girl before she
died was written in order to protect the
Atwoods.
"It will be a serious menace to the dis
honorable physicians of this community
If we secure a conviction on this charge,"
said Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
last night. "It will mean that we can
proceed against many who otherwise we
might have to pass by without hope of
reaching. If the Atwoods are convicted,
it will curtail a great deal of the mal
practice now being carried on in this
city." 1
The attitude-of the prisoners was one
of composure lajst night at the County
Jail. "We believe that some enemy has
Inspired this attack upon us," said the
elder Atwood. "If the prosecuting offi
cers of this county are really looking for
the malpractioners of the community
they might have looked further than to
us. During the past month we have re
fused to take about 50 cases of this char- 1

SPEAKER'S JIANDS CLEAN
Cannon Cleared of Connection in
Defeating Littleton Bill.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29. The Trlbuno this
morning says in a news article:
The Republican membera of the
House committee on Judiciary of the
69th Congress have exonerated Speaker
Cannon from all blame in connection
with the defeat of the Idttlefteld liquor
bill. This was the measure, which pro
hibited the shipment of liquor Into
prohibition districts. It was killed by
the Judiciary committee on the ground
that should It pass the courts would
hold It unconstitutional. Because of
the defeat of this measure and the
Speaker's alleged connection with it, he
has been fought bitterly by the tem
perance cause and especially the W. C
T. U.
The exoneration of the Speaker by
the members of the committee was
given in reply to a query from the Cen
tral Christian Advocate, published at
Kansas City. Congressman Littlefleld,
author of the bill, previously had de
clared the Speaker had nothing to do
with its defeat. The Central Christian
Advocate wired six KepuDiican mem
bers of the committee to ask if Little
fioid'a statement was true.
The six members addressed, as well
as four Republican members who did

shown to much zeal In presenting de
ductions from the figures submitted.
NThe Arthur Toung report shows that
8,454.000, Including the floating debt
and the padded figures, have been spent
in the construction of the entire road.
Outstanding against this is a total
bond and certificate issue of 16,000,030
and other debts amounting to $2,169,000,
making a total debt of 8,169,000.
The difference between this amount
and the money actually expended on the
road is $9,715,000
Only a hazy idea of the ultimate dis
position of this J9.71S.000 exists outside
the circle of Frost and his confidants.
Most of it went into the hands of A. C.
Frost & Co., and thence was parceled
out to various Frost enterprises. About
$2,000,000 went to the Alaska Central Rail
way, of which Frost was president. A
tremendously large amount was dissi
pated in the selling of bonds at extremely
low prices. Until the affairs of A. C.
Frost & Co. are probed thoroughly the
Investors will not know all of the quick

Dentist Dies, Bride Destitute.
Dr. W. N. Ooodby, who died early

short months. Mrs. Goodby was
formerly Miss Jennie N. Bussey, of 57o
East Burnside street. Dr. Ooodby had
absented himself from their home for
several days prior to his death, and it

business troubles. He had lived in
Portland for 20 years past, but had not
practiced his profession of dentistry,
except for periods of short duration.
He was last associated with Dr. L. M.
