Scheme 6r Helpmeet and Gang
Here Before Elopement.

promoters. XI re. Britt also accuses her
husband of deMrtlna- ber and eloping
wltn Mabel Miller, of Silt Lake City.
Mr. Britt appeared berore the grand
Jury last week and laid bare secrets of
alleged swindles which Britt and bis
associates are said to bare operated Id
J'aciflo Coast cities. A warrant is in
the bands of tb District Attorney for
the arrest of Britt on a statutory
charge.
Mrs Britt declares that bar bus band
was connected formerly with tho ad
vertising departments of Omaha, Kan
sas City and Lwtrolt newspapers and
that In later years be became associat
ed wltb a gang of promoters wbo used
labor and Industrial unions as their
medium of operations. Up to a short
time ago. she said, her husband bad
treated her kindly and bad always sup
ported ber well. Arriving at Salt Lake
City, she complained, he consorted with
lLbJ Miller and from that time at
tempted to escape with the Utah
woman, going from Portland to Seattle,
then back to Portland, then to San
Francisco. Oakland and Los Angeles.
Mrs- Britt was on the trail of ber hus
band until 19 days ago wben be eluded
ber la California.
Britt Here Recently.
Britt worked here two years ago and
was In Portland recently, being asso
ciated with William K. Woods, also
known as Henckle. Albert A. Scbeg. C
IV. Cample and J. W. Stewart from time
to time. Under the name of the Coast
Publishing Company. Ucheg. Sample
and Britt maintained offices In tb
WeJls-Farro building. Britt was at ons
time associated with Woods and Sam
ple la the Industrial Publishing Com
pany. They Issued directories for
unions, making profits by selling ad
vertising space. Mra Britt declares
that ber husband and associates occa
sionally collected money for advertising
(pace In advance and did not issue
their directories according to contract.
-This gang was run out of the East
and came to the Parlfle Coast." said
Mrs. Britt. "They said that the Coast
was 'easy picking and that they bad
enough schemes to keep there ber
for two or three years. They have
been working Bremen's and switch
men's onions In Seattle and Portland
lately. To make themselves solid
wltb those wltb whom they did busi
ness, they always obtained space from
as many banking Institutions as pos
sible. Tbey cultivate the beads of the
police departments and detectives to
make their cases stronger.
Other Witness Tells.
The crowd Is now broken up: soma
being still In Portland and some In
etber cities on the Coast. They used
my busband as a tool and on account
ef their mode of living, they caused
blm to desert me. They bare been
trying to suppress the facts that they
msy go ahead with their schemes.'
S. M. Venard. with offices la the
McKay building, said last night that

erations of the promoters In Portland,
lie was summoned before the grand
)ury and told what he bad learned of
Britt and associates. As a result of
bis testimony and that of Mrs. Britt.
the warrant was Issued against Britt.
District Atorney Cameron says be bss
evidence sufficient to Justify war
rants for the arrest of Britt and as
sociates on other charges.
