JSP IN LONG SLEEP
Unconscious for Over Five
Months, He Puzzles Doctors.
MANY ARE WATCHING CASE
Dr. Louis Buck Says Condition of
K. Ogura Has Probably Never
Been Noticeable in Any
Other Patient.
With his eyes wide open in a fixed
stare, his body emaciated, his cheeks
sunken and his nair standing almost on
end, K. Ogura. a Japanese laborer, has
laid in a cataleptic condition In a ward In
the Good Samaritan Hospital for nearly
six months. Once in every ten minutes
he draws one long, heavy breath without
appreciable movement of the facial
muscles and slowly expels it without
even a sigh.
From a medical point of view it is said
the case has never been surpassed as one
of absorbing Interest. Many clinics have
been held around the bedside with Dr.
Louis Buck, the attending physician, ex
plaining the conditions which make the
ca a remarkable one.
On April 18 last. Ogura was sent to the
hospital from the section gang with
which he had been working on the North
Bank Railroad at a point near Vancou
ver. Wash., with all the symptoms of
meningitis. As" the physician of the road.
Dr. Buck, took charge of the case and
while he believed Ogura was suffering
from the spinal complaint, scientific
tests failed to indicate the disease.
Condition Came on Slowly.
' During April the-Japanese, who Is only
13 years of age, lapsed into a semi-cataleptic
condition. Always slight, his con
trol over his muscles gradually ceased,
although by twitches he was able to in
dicate to his physician that he was con
scious of hfs condition. On several occa
sions during April he was able to speak,
using. It Is said, the very purest Kngllsh,
while speaking with obvious difficulty.
Slowly Ogura lapsed Into a cataleptic
condition and for five months he has not
moved In his bed or spoken and at no
time has he given during that period
marked signs of returning consciousness.
That Ogura seemed to have some slight
consciousness was shown yesterday,
when a pointed finger was moved until
t. - i . ,.... lha nnnrntprtprt eve-
11 BII1IU31 l"Ul ... i -
ball, the lid of the eye- endangered was
at once shielded by the eyelid, the other
eve remaining open. Ogura made no
sign that he understood general remarks
and there was not a flicker of the eye
ball but when he was repeatedly asked
to move his lids again, the man made
the movement several times In succes
sion. He then drew several rapid
breaths, there was a twitch of one hand
and almost a chest movement. An In
terne present said this was a greater
movement than had been observed for
several months.
. Limbs Are Inusually Rigid.
While his condition is described as
cataleptic his limbs were quite plastic
yesterday afternoon although It is said
that usually the' limbs when placed in
any position become rigid and fixed, At
one time both arms and legs were lifted
Into the air by the doctors and they- re
mained in this position for a considerable
time, gradually relaxing until they again
lav on the bed.
Every few days Ogura is fed by an
egg. milk or other light diet being poured
down his throat. To do this the nurses
are compelled to hold his lips open.
There is never the slightest movement of
face or eyes that would denote satis
faction. "hvsic!ans say Ogura may remain a
year in his present condition or he may
eventually recover. A non-medical ob
server, acquainted with the Cote d'lvoire
of West Africa, expressed the opinion
that the man might almost have sleep
ing sickness, from external observation,
but Dr. Buck says there are no symp
toms of this.
"The man's condition continually
varies." said Dr. Buck yesterday. "He
has sinking spells and recovery spells,
but he does not seem entirely to recover
what he loses. He Is gradually becom
ing more emaciated and does not seem
to show any marked symptoms of a re
covery while he seems to have relapsed
Into his present condition by three
stages. First, a meningitis" condition,
then a spml-cataleptic and later a com
plete cataleptic condition; now he might
be said to be In a cataleptic condition,
varying in degree from time to time.
"The case Is the most remarkable I
have ever studied and I believe the pre
cise condition in which Ogura Is has
never been noticed In any other patient
anywhere. It is for this reason It has
excited general Interest among the
medical profession."

Chauffeur in Real Case Weds
Witness Against Him. '
MRS. ETHEL SEXTY, BRIDE
Man Facing Trial for Manslaughter
Slips to Prlnevillo in Auto With
Fair Divorcee Ceremony
Performed Saturday.
Mrp. Ethel Sexty, a divorce of 18
months, who has been living at 1114 East
Morrison street, is the bride of Frank
El Rodman, the chauffeur awaiting trial
on a charge of manslaughter for killing
Mrs. May Real. - The wedding took place
near Prineville Saturday. Mies Ethel
Noss. the star witness against Rodman,
was reported in a Prineville dispatch to
be about to wed Rodman. A later dis
patch announced that Mrs. Sexty Is the
woman wjio secured the marriage license
and became Mrs. Rodman In the Madras
country.
Miss Noss name, as given In the first
dispatch, was the result of a statement
that an important witness against Rod
man had become his wife. As both Miss
Noss and Mrs. Sexty bear the same
Christian name, Ethel, the chance for
confusion was doubled.
Mrs. Sexty lived at Rodman's home, at

IN REAL CASE.

1114 East Morrison street, since arriving
in Portland a month ago. She was not
In Portland at the time of the automo
bile tragedy but was called by the grand
jury as a witness on account of state
ments she was supposed to have heard
made by Rodman. She is a San Fran
cisco woman and secured a divorce IS
months ago. She has a son 6 years old.
Last Wednesday Rodman and Mrs.
Sexty left Portland for Prineville in an
automobile, but even to their closest
friends they did not divulge their intent
to wed. They went direct to Prineville,
secured the license Saturday morning
and were married that evening, at the
ranch of Rodman's brother, George, near
Madras.
Mrs. Sexty was found in the Rodman
home, at 1114 East Morrison street, with
Pearl Thompson and a man, at the time
of Rodman's arrest. She was then sum
moned before the grand jury during the
Investigation into the death of Mrs. Real.
Mrs. Sexty, now Mrs. Rodman, is
pretty woman, 25 years old. She bears
a striking resemblance to Mrs. Hazel
Maddux, who was indicted with Rodman,
A peculiar feature surrounding the women
In the case is that Mrs. Maddux is often
called "Ethel" by her friends, while Miss
Noss and the former Mrs. Sexty also
bear that name. .
At the Rodman home last evening Miss
Pearl Thompson expressed surprise that
ine weaaing naa taKen place, saying no
hint had been dropped as to the purport
of the Prineville trip. Mrs. Sexty is not
an important witness in the Real tragedy
as she did not. Miss Thompson states,
come to Portland until after the death of
Mrs. Real.
Rodman and his bride are expected to
reach Portland Tuesday, although when
they left there was no intimation that
they would return as a married couple.
Miss Thompson last night stated the
couple might return today.
While the exact import of the evidence
given before the grand Jury by the
former Mrs. Sexty against the. chauffeur
Is not-known, her union with Rodman, It
Is believed, will bar the prosecution from
compelling her to testify against the
chauffeur, now, her husband. This may
be one of the disputed points In the trial
of the Real case which has been set
for hearing on November 12.

Wright, Sr., Informs Police Chief,
Son Has Penchant for "Cranky
Subjects" Pistol Seized.
That Arthur E. Wright, the youth from
Lowell, Mass., who may have had de
signs against Mr. Taft in the President's
recent visit to Portland and who was ar
rested by Captain Bailey as the parade
left the Portland Hotel, is the deduction
made from a letter received yesterday
by Chief of Polics Cox from the father
of the recent prisoner.
The youth's father, Albert Wright, a
retired farmer,, living on his country
place Chelsford, near Lowell. Mass., says.
In the letter received by Chief Cox, he
Is sure his son meant no harm, but that
he Is Inclined at times to "go off on
cranky subjects."
Wright was released from the City Jail
last Tuesday after paying a fine of $25
for carrying concealed weapons. His re
volver, a 3S caliber Colt's, was confiscated
by the city and Is iji the possession of
Chief Cox.
Wright, Sr., was evidently under the
impression when he wrote under date of
October 5. that his, eon was still in Jail.
He begs in the epistle that his son be
given excellent treatment and sent home.
"My son left home over a very trivial
matter," he .writes. "When he was at
tending one of the big universities of the
country he met another fellow, who came
home with him at vacation time.' The
fellow fell In love with my only daughter
and wanted to marry her. I refused,
and my son left home. He was very
anxious for this fellow to marry her. My
daughter had also just returned from
college and I wanted her to finish her
art and music."
IN HIDING THREE WEEKS
Wine and Women Are Said by Po
lice to Have Led to Downfall
of St. John DoormaUer
Now in Custody.
Wine and women are said to be the
agents responsible for the arrest of A
D. McDonald, a doormaker who has
lived at St. John and who now rests be;
hind lock and key in tne City Jail. Mc
Donald is charged with having passed
a number of worthless checks in Port
land and despite the strenuous efforts
of the police and the constables, he has
eluded capture until an early hour Sun
day morning, when he was arrested by
Detectives Coleman and Snow on a clew
furnished by Constable Wagner.
A number of worthless checks bearing
McDonald's signature caused the arrest.
One was passed on A. S. Arata for $15,
three on V. E. Lindberg each for $15,
one on Lindberg for $10 and a J40 note
on Lindberg for $40. Three other checks
totaling $150, are In the possession of
Constable Wagner and three others, to
taling $40, have been turned over to the
District Attorney.
These checks were all passed about
three weeks ago. McDonald has been
working as a doormaker at St. John, but
it Is said he began drinking heavily,
became enmeshed In an entanglement
with-xa woman and spent money so lav
ishly that his funds needed replenishing,
and instead of working for the money he
Is charged with having circulated the
worthless paper. He is a single man, 35
years of age, and has an aged mother
living at St. John who is dependent on
him for help.
According to the records at detective
headquarters this is not McDonald's first
derelection in this direction. On July
20 he is said to have passed four checks
on Elder & Conrad for $64, one on J. J.
Rich for $10, one on Gus Flelschman for
$15 and on July 28 one on J. Lehson
for $5. These checks were made good,
however, before there was any prosecu
tion. Since the last checks were passed, how
ever, the accused man has been in hid
ing and has evaded every effort made by
the police to locate him. Detectives
Snow and Coleman were put at work on
the case and they, working together with
Constable Wagner, for a time did noth
ing except find other bad checks that
the man had passed. On Saturday night
Constable Wagner appeared at a cigar
stand near Sixteenth and Washington
streets and asked concerning McDonald.
The man at the place denied knowing
McDonald, and W agner, believing this
to be untrue, became suspicious and told
the man he had $20 for McDonald. Wag
ner's theory that the man was hiding
In the neighborhood and knew the cigar
man proved true a short time later, when
the Constable received a telephone
message from McDonald telling him that
he would send a messenger for the $20.
Then Detectives Coleman and Snow.
who were also hunting in the same neigh
borhood for the man, appeared and the
trio waited until after midnight for the
messenger, and finally at 1:30 A. M. yes
terday they located the man. whom they
knew by description, at Sixteenth and
Washington. . He was promptly taken to
the police station, where he was booked
on a charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses.

was called. Mr. McLean spoke with his
old-time vigor, and at the conclusion of
the services met many of the congrega
tion. He left the Third Church over
seven years ago for Porto Rico,, to take
charge of the Presbyterian Missionary
extension work, remaining there for more
than five years. On his return he was
called back to the Grants Pass Presby
terian Church, which he left to come to
Portland 10 years ago. Mr. McLean will
return home today. Rev. J. A. P. Mc

Is obtained.
AGED MAN MAKES RESCUE
B. tF. Finn, 84 Years Old, Saves
Daughter and Grandchild.
Although 84 years of age, B. F. Finn,
who has lived on the Upper McKenzle
River for 40 years, rescued his daughter
and grandchild from drowning in that
river two weeks ago, according to a story
told yesterday by him and his daughter
and son-in-law.
Finn, who calls himself "Huckleberry
Finn," in company with his daughter and
son-in-law, Albert Ward, started from
their mountain home for the Seattle fair
recently In a boat, which overturned in
the Mackenzie river. One of the two chil
dren of the family was drowned at the
time, but the old man, grasping his
daughter and her other child by the hair,
managed to bring them to shore in safety.
The accident did not discourage them in
their ambition to see tho fair, and en
route to it the party passed through
Portland yesterday.
F"inn declared that one reason for his
rugged health in his old age is the fact
that he is accustomed to drink whisky,
and to emphasize this, he produced a bot
tle while being interviewed.
