DEFENSE SUGGESTS PLOT Conviction of Woman for Forging Deed Thought to Depend Upon Proof of Her Intent to De fraud Real Mrs. Ford. Has Elizabeth O. Frary always con sidered Mrs. Caroline Ford merely "a person of the past" since her own common-law marriage to Homer N. Ford? In an action before Circuit Judge Gatens in January. 19X6, Miss Frary re fused to tell when or where she was wedded to Ford, on the grounds that it might incriminate her and hold her up to public disgrace. This was the testimony of Judge Gatens yesterday, when he was called by the prosecution in the action now pending against the woman who stepped between Ford, and his wife, Caroline. Miss Frary is charged with forgery in the signing of a deed in 1914 as the wife of Ford when Ford's common-law wedlock with Caroline Ford was still in force. Ford was convicted of participation in the forgery last week. Miss Frary's conviction may depend on the proof of her intent to defraud when she signed away the rights of the real Mrs. Ford. Questions Not Answered. There were two hearings before Judge Gatens in 1915. involving the property deed which is the basis of the criminal prosecution. In the first, testified the jurist yesterday. Miss Frary said that she was the wife of Ford. In the second she refused to answer questions relating to her mar riage. At that time she was mated with Ford by a common law marriage, illegal owing to the legality of the for mer contract marriage of Fond with Caroline Voght. In May. 1915, Miss Frary was wedded by Catholic rites to Ford, still unlawfully. The first direct assertion that Mrs. Ford had been defmuded actually by the signing of the deed by Miss Frary was made by Attorney George Arthur Brown, who was called as a witness yesterday. The defense has contended that Mrs. Ford could not have been defrauded, as she was not a resident of the state at the time the deed was signed, and therefore had no dower right in her husband's property. Paper Declared Mortgage. "'The deed never was an absolute deed, and was really in the nature of a mortgage," said Mr. Brown yester day on the stand. He was retained about two years ago by a man seek ing property of Ford's to attach be cause of an unpaid judgment of $600 and was familiar with the transaction in question. "Before that mortgage was fore closed," he continued, "Mrs. Ford be came a resident of the state and had a dower Interest In the property." "Is it not true that you are the mov ing spirit in this prosecution to punish Mr. Ford for his failure to pay the $600. to your client. Peterson?" de manded Attorney .McCue of the witness. "It is not true," replied Attorney Brown. "Didn't you threaten these people with trouble?" "No. except that I probably told you that the situation was developing in Kueh a way that there might be trouble. I may have said that to Ford's sister, also. Between your advice and my efforts these people certainly got into considerable trouble." Mr. Brown Denies Activity. "Didn't you start these proceedings with the intent of sending this man and woman to the penitentiary?" demanded Attorney McCue. "I had nothing to do with it. My ef forts were wholly on behalf of my client and I looked the law up at that time and advised Mrs. Ford that the marriage was legal. That was the only time I looked up the case, and have not consulted with the prosecuting officers nor taken interest in it since." Ford sat close to the woman he had selected for his companion, after 10 years of wedded life with another and without the trouble of a divorce, dur ing the hearing yesterday. Mrs. Caroline Ford, the true wife, took the stand in the afternoon to testify along similar lines to her testi mony last week, regarding the Alaskan marriage. Seattle witnesses will not be subpenaed for this trial, as their evidence last week will be read to the Jury, by stipulation of attorneys. Miss Frary may take the stand today. DEATH CAUSES ARREST CHINESE DHIVEH OP TRUCK CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER. Accident Which Cost Life of Mrs. Lorenx, of Manning. Declared Due to Driver's Inexperience Goon Wu. Chinese gardener, was ar rested yesterday afternoon ty Deputy Sheriff Bob Phillips on a charge of Involuntary manslaughter as a result of his having run down and caused the death of Mrs. Carl Lorenz, of Man ning. Or., with his auto truck. Goon was released on $1500 ball. Goon was taken into custody on the T.lnnton road, where he has a truck patch. Mrs. Lorenz, who was about 6S years old, was run down at Third and Morri sons streets on August 19. She died as a result of her Injuries on Wednes day of last week. A Coroner's jury at the inquest found the Chinese respon sible for the woman's death and also held that the accident was the result of his inexperience as a driver. Goon Wu is about 26 years old. He was apparently unaware that the au thorities were searching for him when taken into custody. adjusting his trousers, which are In imminent danger of falling off. With two partners. 6ig Mealy and Bert Montrose, who are acrobatic dance marvels, "Scream" offers a clever original act. They almost break up the show when they fall into an argu ment. A big number and one that gets over in fine style is Johnson's Creole Band, a sextette of dusky lads who present old and new untamed music plus old time Southern carryings-on. One old darky dances the old-time jigs and scores. The music is melodious and full of departures In harmonics. Claudia Coleman is a ginger girl of the May Irwin type. She has an act with hats ehowlng by their wearing what may be expected of the wearer.

These two Impersonate the teachers, while St, Clair and Erne, the butlers, pose as noblemen. "The Crimson 5tain" attracts contin ued attention. It is a big gripping myetery story. Its second installment is on this week. FIRE APPARATUS VIEWED Oregon City Officials Takp Trip to McMtnnville. OREGON CITY. Or.. Sept. 25. (Spe cial.)

The City Council yesterday granted a permit for the presentation of a spec tacular fireworks show at the baseball park'nezt Saturday and Sunday nights. Arrangements also wera completed with the lessees of the park so that the fireworks and ball games will not be allowed to conflict. The production is now being put to gether at the faotory at Lents, and at the close of the ball game Saturday workmen will swarm onto the field to convert the west end into a stage. That night they will remove all traces of the thrilling illuminations to make way for the Sunday game. Although the programme which had been settled upon for Saturday and Sunday nights was of full two hours' length, workmen yesterday were in structed to add a life picture of Jack son Sundown, the great Indian rider who captured the championship among riders at the Pendleton Round-up. The figure will show Sundown mounted on the plunging horse which captured the crowd and the purse. F. C.
