Thief Is Caught.
With the sentencing of l G. McDon
ald, professional burglar, for the rob
bery committed at the house of Mrs.
M. R. iicDonsld. 710 Kast Madison, two
weeks ago, ends one of the most re
markable studies In the Inaccuracies
of tke human mind, ever displayed in
local criminal annals. Out of the case
comes with tritnphant exoneration Mrs.
Myrtle Kne. the young and pretty
wife of a Perrydale railroad agent.
To all appearances everyone con
cerned was telling the truth as he saw
It, yet now that the facts are clear It
is almost unbelievable how far from
the truth the statements of some of
the witnesses were. They themselves
say they cannot explain their mistake.
Coafeealoa Reaaevea Sasplcloo.
Had not Mrs. U C5. McDonald, wife
and dupe of the burglar, confessed that
it was she who placed the stolen ar
ticles In the pawnshop, whose pro
prietors positively Identified Mrs. Knes.
the latter woman, though already freed
by the grand Jury, must always have
carried a cloud of suspicion on account
of the convincing nature of the testi
mony against her.
When Mrs. M. R. McDonald returned
home February 11 and found that her
house had been entered in her absence,
Jewelry, furs and clothing being taken
to the aggregate value of $."0. she re
ported the facta to the authorities, and
letecilvea Moloney and Coleman were
assigned to the case. They determined
that the theft was done by someone who
had mccrmB to the place. They based
this conclusion on the fact that the
house had not been forced and that the
doorkey. In the absence of Mrs. Mc
Donald, had been hung In a secret place
outside the house.
On Inquiring who could have known
of this fact, they learned that Mrs.
Knes had lived In the house, and noted
n suspicion against her. which was
eagerly combated by Mrs. McDonald.
Hut when a photograph of the woman,
loaned by Mrs. McDonald, was Identi
fied by two men In the pawnshop,
where a small part of the goods had
been found. Mrs. McDonald consented
to sign a complaint and a warrant was
Issue,! for Mrs. Knes, who was at Dal
las. Or.
Usi Asserts laaeeenre.
Detective Moloney went to serve the
warrant and was met by every show of
surprise. While waiting for a return
ing train, he was shown by the woman
arrested that she could produce nu
merous witnesses to establish an alibi,
but the officer, with a warrant to serve,
had no option but to bring her to head,
quarters.
Arriving Saturday night, he pre
sented the milt.. doubtful aspects of
the case to Captain Katy. who decided
not to consign the fair prisoner to Jail.
She kih released on her recognizance,
returning to headquarters Sunday
morning. All that day she sat In the
conference rooni. accompanied by her
sister and husband, both of whom de
clared positively that she had been
with them In Perrydale all the day of
the robbery. Monday the deadlock con
tinued, even after the two pawnshop
tnen ha.l repeated their Identification
of her photograph.
Ilandnrlllag Appears Same.
Then a handwriting expert ws rallel
in. and upon his positive assertion that
one hand wrote tno pawn in-Kei ann
the specimens made by Mrs. lines, the
decision was made that the protesting
prisoner must I J locked up. It was
thouclit that tho expert scarcely enubl
be mistaken, because the resemblance
of the scripts was obvious.
Only technically was Mrs. Knes
Jailed, passing an hour behind the
counter at the police station, while her
husband scurried about for the re
quired liooo ball. This was soon pro
duced, insuring appeamnce in Munic
ipal Court the next day.
Throughout the proceedings Mrs.
Knes maintained a confident yet sor
rowful bearing. wh..e friends rallied to
her and strengthened the alihl. The
grand Jury took up the case and refused
lo return an Indictment.
So the case would have rested, per
haps, but for a remarkable chance that
befell Mrs. McDonald, the victim of the
robbery. Hiding in an automobile
Thursday night, she passed a woman
and man. the woman carrying furs that
she recognized as hers. leaving her
car she accosted the pair and demanded
the return of her property. She was
met by a hold front, but stayed on the
rail until she ran the man and woman
to cover In an Kast Sldo rooming-house.
Then she telephoned to the. police, and
'aptain Rat v. Detectives Coleman and
Moloney answered the call.
M fbi Ka capes, but la Cauabt.
The man. who proved to be L. G.
McDonald, alias Turner, escaped, but
through the assistance given by the
woman, his wire, to me ponce, ne waa
captured and within two days pleaded
gulltv to several burglaries and re
ceived an Indeterminate sentence In the
enltentlary.
The wife, a weak little woman, look
ing as unlike Mrs. Knes as could be,
freely admitted that It was she who
pawned the articles on which her dis
similar "double" came so near being
convicted. Confronted with this fact.
the pawnshop men could only express
their wonder and regret at the mis
take, while still asserting that they
had been honestly positive that Mrs.
Enea was the right woman.
Indignant at the mlstnken arrest. Mrs.
Knes left the city vowing reprisals in
the courts against those who had
caused her arrest, but as yet has taken
no action. Roth the police and Mrs.
Mdonald. the complainant. Justify
their action by the remarkable showing
of evidence which led to the arrest.

Fourth Symphony Concert

BT JOSFPH M. QVENT1X.
IN' spite of the sunshine and the call
to get out of doors either In a motor
or trolley car Just to see how Spring
looks in the country, a large audience
hear! the call of music and journeyed
to the Hellig Thrater yesterday after
noon and thoroughly enjoyed and be
came enthusiastic over the fourth con
cert this season of the Portland Sym
phony Orchestra.
More and better variation in musical
selection was noticed in the pro
gramme, and the offer in? was again of
marked educational value. The con
ouetor of the day, chosen by ballot,
was Harold Barley, who In his musical
readings was quiet, scholarly and com
petent, lie kept straight to business
and followed his score faithfully, tak
log no liberties with it. Hearty ap
plause greeted the rendition of each
selection. No new numbers were played
as encores, but the orchestra was
forced to repeat Westerhout's merry
popular "Rondo D'Amour."
With two exceptions she fmporta
tlon of first oboe and first bassoon
players from Seattle all the orchestra
mrn who attneared on the starve are
Portland residents, and regular mem
hers of the symphony orchestra. The
fine ensemble result, very creditable to
all concerned. Is the fruit of many pa
tlent rehearsals and attention to dis
rinline. and showed what can he ac
complished by friendly co-operation by
brother musicians, who share profit
and loss on a commnr.ilj basis, in the
absence of a guarantee fund or en
dowment scheme.
These questions were asked in yes
terdav's programme: Is the Portland
Symphony Orchestra filling a real need
in this city or not? Have this season'
symphony concerts contributed ma
terially to .card the elevating of musl
cal ideas in Portland, and has the or
thestrj added anything to the reputa
tion and dignity of the city? The best
answer Is given by tho high musical
worth of yesterda3''s concert. The or
chestrn is filllnsr a need, and music la
plaved that can only he played by
svmnhonv orchestra. The answer to
the second question is emphatically
"ves.
The string section was well led yes
terday and never stumbled once. Its
leader was John Rayley. who occupied
that post because he drew the lucky
number entitling him to act as concert
master. Robert K. Millard, one of the
two flutists of the orchestra, furnished
excellent pro?rmme roles on the
Mendelssohn and lirahms numbers, and
tlvese contributed toward the pleasure
of the concert.
More valuable than all other musical
offerings gi-en was the Brahms nym
phony No. 4, in E Minor." played here
as a premiere. Mut-ical authorities, and
competent ones, are by no means
ugreed on the disputed question,
whether Johannes Brahms, who was
born in Hamburg, In 1833. and died in
Vienna in 1897. is entitled to a place
among the great musical -composers of
all time. Brahms Is better known In
this country through his charmingly
beautiful songs. He stood In his day
for established order In musical com
position; he created no new school of
his own like Wagner end his K minor
svmnhonv has conservative, orderly
Rrahms written all over it. The las
movement has a fine atmosphere of
sentiment, something creditable to a
bachelor composer. Vesterda's Brahms
was an orchestral gem. 1 he Pierne
movement for strings was most wel
come, while the m.islc of the English
composer. J. Edward German, In the
"Oipsv Suite." formed a Joyous and
mest fitting finale. Well done, all.
The next and last symphony concert
this season will occur April 14. with
M. Chrlstensen as conductor.

"Portland business men who take
part In the commercial excursion to
Tillamook, which the Portland Com
mercial Club Is planning for next May,
will find the trip a revelation, was
the statement made yesterday by C. C.
Chapman, who returned last week from
a trip to Tillamook, Nehalem and Bay-
ocean, where he held development
meetings and made preparations for tbe
proposed excursion,
"From the, scenic standpoint alone,
the trip is one of the most attractive I
have ever taken in Oregon," he said.
"The railroad to the Coast la a won
derful piece of engineering work.
Over 70 bridges and through countless
tunnels the railway winds through a
territory covered with such huge tim
ber that the sun scarcely shines upon
the road at any point. In the Salmon
Herrr River district It Is an anglers'
paradise, and this stone should 'make
the trip to the Joast a favorite journey
for sportsmen when they have discov-
