PRISONER DENIES CHARGE At Jfearing in Municipal Court, Wit nesses Testify Self-Styled Lieu tenant Had Cast Hypnotic Spell Over Women. Arthur Swartzenberger, alias Otto Neufeldt, Beft-styled lieutenant of the Austrian army and escaped Siberian prisoner, apparently suffered a lapse of memory in Municipal Judge Lang guth's court yesterday, where he was Riven a ' hearing on the charge of having threatened the life of Mrs. E. 8. Treadway, head of the Apostolic Faith Mission in Portland 'and at Taco raa. At the conclusion of the hearing Judge Langguth ordered that Swartz enberger be required to furnish a bond of $500 to keep the peace, or in default of bond, remain in the County Jail until the next session of the Circuit Court. In February last Swartzenberger ap peared at the Tacoma mission of the Apostolic Faith, witnesses testified, and was befriended by those in charge. He told them that he was an escaped Si berian prisoner, who had witnessed active service as an officer in the Aus trian army. Later he repaid their trust by forcing his attentions upon Mtss Martha Strate, a member, of the mis sion and attained an uncanny ascend ency over the young woman's affec tions, they allege. She fled to her home at Rex. Or., to escape him, but the pseudo officer followed. He blamed Mrs. Treadway for foiling his designs, the witnesses testified, and threatened her life. Witness Recalls Threat. William Hornshuh. -1143 East Tenth street, was called to the witness stand. He testified that his sister, Mrs. Hegen, had been expelled from the Apostolic Mission at Tacoma for permitting Swartzenberger to visit Miss Strate at her home. t. On May 29, he said, the defendant appeared at his home in this city, stating that he "would like to see Frau Hornshuh and explain the trouble at Tacoma." It was at this interview, the witness said, that he made the threat against Mrs. Treadway's life.. The comely young woman in the case, Miss Martha Strate, was next called. She blushed with embarassment, but ftave her testimony with convincing directness. Miss Strate testified that she met Swartzenberger about April 1 in Tacoma. He told her that he had escaped from the British In Canada, by the assistance of an English officer's daughter, who stole her father's pistol and gave It to him. Later, he told Miss Strate, the officer's daughter was to Join him in this country. John Kossuth, member of the Apos tolic Mission, of Tacoma, testified that Swartzenberger was his guest for three weeks in that city. He stated that he had been told the story of the British officer's daughter and the escape from Canada. The affection of the defendant for Miss Strate was reviewed by the witness, who added that when Mrs. Treadway visited Tacoma she put an end to his attentions. Testimony Is Corroborated, The testimony of Mrs. Treadway, for the alleged threatening of whose life the arrest was made, closely corrob orated that of previous witnesses. She ttated that she discovered Swartzen berger's malicious activities among the young women of the Tacoma Mission, particularly with reference to Miss Strate, when she visited that city. Mrs. Strate, mother of Martha, was the next witness. She was asked if she recognized the defendant as the man who had visited her daughter at Ilex. She replied affirmatively. Mrs. Strate spoke German to the defendant and Judge Langguth Joined in the dis cussion. . "Officer" Was Hypnotic. ' That the defendant possessed a hyp notic influence over Martha, an influ ence which he also practiced, on a younger daughter of the family, Mrs. Strate was certain. She said that both furls had told her that in his presence they were helpless and grew faint. Deputy District Attorney i Deich severely condemned Swartzenberger, whom he characterized as being more willing to "face petticoats than bul lets," In rendering judgment. Judge Lang guth expressed the belief that Swart zenberger had unquestionably displayed evil Intent and that he had exercised 'a peculiar power of hypnotio fascina tion to weaken the resistance of Miss Strate, who, normally, did not care for him and was afraid of his advances. To all the witnesses who testified against him, the defendant is known as Arthur Swartzenberger.- This is not his name, he contends, and was never assumed by him. His true name he gives as Otto Neufeldt. He has been employed at the Clark & Wilson mill, in Llnnton. WOMAN IS FOUND SUICIDE j Body of Mrs. Winifred Catiill Is Dis covered in Brushy Gnlch.

'BRONC BUCKS ON STAGE "PASTIMES OF PLAINS" IS WOXDER. WIa ACT AT PANTAGES. Other Features of New Bill Cover . Every Inch of Vaudeville, Several Novelties Being; Given. Only a dyspeptic or a pessimist could find fault with this week's new bill at Pantages. Every Inch of vaude ville territory is covered in the enter tainment, beginning with posing pic tures by talented dogs, running through a bill of dancing, singing and wind ing up with a section of the Pendleton Roundup topped off by Buffalo Bill's best. It is this act which amazes and delights. Adele von Ohe, a beautiful and dar ing horsewoman, performs on her beau tiful big horse. He rises on his hind legs and hia rider goes through vari ous maneuvers on his back. The set ting for this act is like a spot out of ranch life," with its gayly clad cowboys, all brandishing lariats, its half dozen horses, and the corral conversation. A big chap. Jitney Wright, is a reckless bronchp buster, and tames a "bronch' on the stage. Bob Calen Is a wizard at whirling the lariat. "Pastime of, the Plains" is truly a fascinating act. "Good as headliners are Bob Knapp, a "born comedian," and his pal, Chris Cornalla. a "born acrobat-" Their act is a collection, and a fine one, too, of acrobatic art, singing, dancing, ex change of cheery .persiflage and all of it is creamed over with delicious com edy. This pair would decorate any bill and yesterday paid the penalty of pop ularity by numerous recalls Roy Mack and a company of eight clever youngsters and pretty Dorothy, as a teacher, present a half hour of mischief in school. The various chil dren sing, dance and cut capers in the classroom. Dave Seid, as an Italian pupil, occasions great hilarity. Scanlon and Press are a pair of graceful dancers who were a late fe ture with one of the Valeska Suratt shows. They dance in a mad whirl wind fashion, and sing well, too. But it is their abandoned terpsicnorean ventures that attract most. Diminutive Lillian Watson, in a smart blue frock, sings about her size and does some clever character songs. Opening the bill is a beautiful pos ing act, in which four handsome dogs appear as life-like statues in a series of bas reliefs and placques. The act is offered by "Chester" and is exceed ingly interesting. The eleventh epi sode of "The Iron Claw" Is on this week. It is entitled, "The Saving of Dan O Mara.

Defense for Ford Is Expected to Con tend First Marriage Was Illegal Because Notary Officiated. "If a woman wants to get into the County Jail while I'm on the criminal bench, she'll have to break In," de clared Circuit Judge McGinn yesterday, after admitting to $2000 bond each Miss Elizabeth Frary and Homer N. Ford, the pair recently extradited from Can ada on a forgery charge. The bonds men were A. K. Richardson, of Burns, and J. M. Keeney, of Portland. "The first item of my catechism op poses sending women to Jail," went on Judge McGinn. "It has been a rule of my life while n the bench never to send a woman to prison, and in my six months more as a judge I do not intend to break that rule." Attorney John C. McCue appeared for' the couple. The defense in the case is expected to be that the marriage of Ford to Mrs. Caroline Ford, of Portland, the com plaining witness, is not legal, because it was performed by a notary publio In Alaska.' The state contends the mar riage was legal. The name signed to the deed in ques tion was, "Elizabeth G. Ford." The prosecution contends that the Frary woman was never legally married to Ford, and that any pretended marriage took place after the signing of the deed. The,: property " Involved are two city lots deeded to J. D. McKennon May 12, 1914. i On one was a mortgage of $1800. and on the other two mortgages, one of $1S00 and the other $719.
