CAPTURE FOLLOWS CHASE Japanese Girl Who Came Here Only Few Weeks Ago to Be Bride Is Witness, Testifying JWith Her Husband as Interpreter. Although she entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of burglary in the daytime, and reinforced it with a plausible story and manner. Municipal Judge Langguth yesterday ordered Mrs. Francis Pollard, alleged expert sneak thief, held to the Grand Jury under $2000 baiL Mrs. Pollard, who is believed to have been the author of several similar crimes, was arrested for the attempted robbery of T. Tojo's grocery store at 494 Washington street. On a pretext, the proprietor testified, Mrs. Pollard Kained access to a rear room, where she was surprised by his wife in the act of rifling the cash drawer, which contained $300. Woman Captured After Chase. The woman fled, hotly pursued by Tojo, who captured her -in a garage where she had taken refuge. She de nied the attempted robbery, and, when Questioned at the Police Station, re fused to throw any light on her iden tity. Searching through a photograph file of New York criminals.'Ac'ting-Captaln of Detectives Moloney found a photo graph that closely resembled the prls other. The Bertilllon measurements given, as well as the description of a peculiar birthmark on the left cheek, alike proclaimed Clara Davis, arrested n December 2, 1903, as a New York pickpocket, to be Mrs. Francis Pollard, the prisoner. Confronted with the photograph, Mrs. Pollard denied that it was hers, and re iterated her declaration that she was a misiudged woman. She retained the services of Attorney Pike Davis, and declined to discuss her arrest further until placed on the witness stand. Picture Finally Admitted. Then Mrs. Pollard described her en trance of the store, related her request that she be- permitted to visit a rear room to fix her clothing, and . dwelt VDon her chagrin and dismav that such a charge should be brought against her. I Deputy District Attorney Deich ap proached the witness stand, and ex tended the New Tork identification record, indicating' the picture of Clara Davis. "Have you ever seen this picture be fore?" he asked. "Do you know this woman?" "Well, I guess bo," was the hesitant reply. "Is that you?" the Prosecutor per sisted. "Yes, sir." As complaining witness Tojo won the courtroom crowd with his artless rela tion of the attempted robbery. He told of his fear that some of his funds had been taken on the flight of Mrs. Pollard and the capture and the alarm suf fered by his wife. Japanese Bride Is Witness. "My wife -she not speak English srood," said Tojo, taking his auditors into his confidence. "She come from : Japan to marry me just two three week ago." Nevertheless, Mrs. Tojo was sum moned by Judge Langguth to testify, with her husband serving as interpre tey. Her istory corroborated that of her husband. Judge Langguth made no comment on the evidence, but dryly decreed that Mrs. Pollard must appear before the liand Jury, agreeing with Deputy District Attorney Deich that a $2000 cash bail was no more than adequate. Mrp. Pollard testified that she had only been in the city for the past 10 days. She Is about 45 years of age, dresses well and has more-than a sem blance of "'the grand manner." During the length of her visit to Portland, the police say. several robberies in which the same ruse featured have teen re ported to them.
