Unable, to Find Ball, Affinity Lies
in Jail Indictment and Snlt for
Damages Await Him If He
Returns to Seattle.
6 A.V FRANCISCO. April 11 (Spe
cial.) With her banker affinity still
In the Countr Jail, unable to raise the
12000 ball necessary for hia release.
Mrs. Iva Mar Henry appeared in Judge
ShortaH'a court this morning- in answer
to a warrant charging her with avoid'
Ins the effect of a writ of habeas cor
pus. The case was continued pending;
the outcome of the proceedings before
Judge Mogan. which will be resumed
tomorrow morning. The children
spent the night in the Juvenile Deten
tion Home on Harrison street.
Flooding the courtroom with tears
when Judge Mogan ordered Deputy
Sheriff Kennedy to take the children
to the retention Home for safe keep
ing. Mrs. Henry hissed denunciations
of Mogan and turned off tbe tears as
soon as she saw that they had no ef
fect on the magistrate.
Children Cry, Kelley In Despair.
Little Albert cried as If his heart
would break when he was taken from
his mother to the Children's Home, but
the little girl. Anita, ever playful and
too young to realize what the absence
of her mother meant, took the new sit
uation with the indifference of a
spoiled child.
When Mrs. Henry returned to the
Sheriff's office to await ball, she In
dulged In a whispered conference with
Kelley. Kelley. who was the picture
of despair, pale and trembling, glanced
fearfully about him aa he talked to the
woman. He seemed utterly resigned
to his fate. With two warrants against
him for his part in secreting the Henry
children, the man who deserted his
high rank In society and business In
Seattle gare himself over to remorse
when he was told that he was wanted
In his home city on an Indictment
charging him with a statutory offense.
Kellcy Sued by Henry.
To add to his troubles, he was served
with a copy of a complaint in the $100.
000 suit filed against him by Henry
yesterday, charging alienation of Mrs.
Henry's affections.
Although Henry's attorneys say they
hare evidence that she has been living
with Kelley for many months. Mrs.
Henry denies that there are any but
platonle relations between them. Yet
they had lived together In the little
cottage In the Mission for over a week.
Mrs. Henry Will Appeal.
James W. Cochrane. Mrs. Henry's at
torney, announced tonight that he will
apply tomorrow before the'. District,
Court of Appeal for a writ of prohibi
tion against action set for tomorrow
before Judge Mogan, of the Superior
Court. Fallinsr this, he said he would
apply for a writ of habeas corpus giv
ing the mother custody of the ehtldren.
Final recourse. Mr. Cochrane said,
would be re.jueet for a delay of pro
ceedings. The habea. corpus Idea Is abandoned
partly to Mrs. Henry's experiences of
today when, released on ball, she went
to the detention home and asked to see
her children. She was compelled first
to get a court order, and this gave her
only an hour with them.
TIGHT XU CHILDREN GOES OX
Mrs. Henry's Lawyer Claims Cus
tody Wlille Appeal Pending.
SEATTLK. April 11. William C
Keith, counsel tor Mrs. Iva May Henry,
said today that he would leave tor San
Francisco tonight to look after the In
terests of Mrs. Henry. His contention
Is that an appeal having been taken
from the court decree awarding cus
tody of the children to the father. Mrs.
Henry Is entitled to keep the children
until a final decision is rendered.
The belief that G. Foster Kelley was
Indicted by the Seattle grand Jury Is
baaed on the fact that lira. Kelley went
before the grand jury, accompanied to
the door by her counsel. Just after the
Henry divorce decree was handed down.
As her art was voluntary and as the
hlef witness against Mrs. Henry also
was before the grand Jury. It is Inferred
that an Indictment was returned. The
grand Jury Is on a vacation and will
reassemble April 17.

LOWIT LEAPS FAR
Former Portland Man Jumps
From Sixth Story.
RESCUER IS SHAKEN OFF
Career of Man Who Wrecked Golden
Eagle Store and Helped ' Morris
Wreck Oreiron Trust Bank
Close in. Tragedy.
(Continued rrwn First rage.)
that the neck was broken and that
Lowlt must have died Instantly.
LOWIT PARTNER OF MORRIS
Suicide Had Brief Career as Mer
chant and Hank wrecker.
Lowlt's career In Portland was close
ly connected with that of W. Cooper
Morris, cashier . of the defunct Oregon
Trust Savings Bank, who Is out on
130.000 bonds and has a six-year peni
tentiary sentence hanging over him for
embesslement.
Soon after Lowlt came to Portland he
set up a dry goods store on the east
side of Third street, between Morrison
and Tamhlll. This was first known as
London's and later as "London's De
partment Store."
Early In ISO Lowlt leased the north
east corner or Third and Tamhlll
streets, which was at that time occu
pied by a meat market. The entire
first floor of the building waa re
modeled, the goods from London's De
partment Store moved In. other gooda
added, and Lowlt announced himself the
proprietor of tbe Golden Eagle Depart
ment Store.
At the same time Lowlt maintained
one or more small stores In the North
End. where he worked off such goods
as he bought at bankrupt sales tn the
East and could not sell at the Golden
Eagle store.
Lowlt's relations with the Oregon
Trust A Savings Bank did not become
known until after the failure of the
bank in August. 107. After the books
had been experted he was indicted
with W. Cooper Morris, the cashier of
the bank, and W. H. Moore, the presi
dent, for the alleged mutilation of
$115,000 worth of Lowlt's notes. The
charge as to Moore was dismissed, he
having pleaded guilty to another charge
Involving the wrecking of the bank
and been fined 11000.
After Lowlt's Indictment he was
brought bark to Portland from Denver,
where he bad gone after the failure of
the bank, and after the Golden Eagle
corporation had gone bankrupt. He
was arraigned In the State Circuit
Court for mutilating the notes, and
pleaded not guilty. He was released
on 110.000 bonds, but was never tried.
Neither baa Morris been tried on this
charge, there being also five other
charges against him. On one of these
charges, embexslement of cash and
notes, he waa tried before a Jury tn
Judge Gantenbeln's department, con
victed of the embexslement of the notes,
and sentenced to six years In the Peni
tentiary. He was released on 13000
bonds. 115.000 bonds holding him to ap
pear and face tbe other five charges.
His case waa taken to the State Su
preme Court, and the decision of the
lower court affirmed March ZS. Twenty
days are allowed for filing a motion for
a rehearing. Unless this Is filed, tbe
mandate will be returned to the lower
court and Morris will be resentenced.
Judge Gantenbeln said last night ha
had no reason now to change the sen
tence of six years he formerly gave
Morris, and that In resentencing he did
not think he would do so.
The defunct baa was organised first
as the Oregon Savings Bank, and began
doing business in the Marquam build
ing. Then the word "Trust" was added,
making the name the "Oregon Trust
Savings Bank." The office was moved
to Sixth and Alder streets, and thence
to Sixth and Washington, where pedes
trians were accustomed to see an elec
tric sign, bordered with moving snakes
and bearing the legend: "We pay 4
Per Cent."
While Morris was cashier of the bank
and Lowlt was manager of the depart
ment store. Lowlt became very friendly
with Morris and Is said to have pre
sented Morris with a diamond ring. It
LOWIT.
was the general understand'ng that
Morrla was Interested in the Golden
Eagle store. Morris began by lending
Lowlt small sums from the bank, until
15000 is said to have been reached.
Then Lowlt gave his note for this sum,
and soon after la said to have made ar
rangements to draw each week enough
to meet the weekly payroll ot the
Golden Eagle store. W-nen the amount
ran op to $5000 or 110.000, he would
give his note as security. The notes
are said to have run up to $125,000, and
these are the notes which Morris. Lowlt
and Moore are alleged to have entered
Into collusion to destroy by tearing off
the signatures. The remains of the
notes were afterward found, cached in
a pigeon-hole at the bank.
To balance the books and account for
this $125,000, Morris Is alleged to have
charged the bank with Home Telephone
stock already belonging to the bank.
