Indictment against Ki chard !. Gilkyson and lo!s M. Imlah, known recently as Iois M. Gilkyson, for de fraud ing Miss Genevieve Taylor, a nurse, were dismissed yesterday at tlie request of the complaining: witness, when G. TV. Gilkyson. financal manager of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph company in San Francisco and father of the young man, arranged for the payment, of 1141.40 to Miss Taylor, in restitution. Common law marriage ties, which held th-e young and good-looking woman who posed as Mrs. Gilkyson, were severed beyond repair by the de velopments of the past week, during which time t?he spent several days in th-e county jail while her supposed hus band was in custody in San. Krancisco. "I'm off him for life," was the terse announcement she made to .Deputy District Attorney Pierce when he told her she was free and asked if she was going back to Gilkyson. Marriage Relations Tana-led- . Matrimonial relations were very much tangled in the Gilkyson case for it appears that both parties had been married before they met and both had children. The young woman, whose parents are supposed to be wealthy ranchers of Tillamook county, has a child of four years and declares her husband is dead. She said that Gilky son had an interlocutory decree of ij ivorce from a wife in San Francisco and that they had been awaiting the expiration of the time limit. V. J. Phillips of the Portland Bell telephone system, who was asked by Gilkyson Sr. to look after affairs here for him, declared to Deputy Pierce that he had never heard of any trouble be tween young Gilkyson and his wife, to say nothing of a divorce. They had one child. Statement la Reversed. When first questioned by Deputy Sheriff Christofferson after her arrest, the young woman in the case said that she had been married to Gilkyson in Vancouver, Wash., in April. When the deputy reached for a telephone to cor roborate the assertion, she interrupted to say that she meant they had tried to get married but could not because of her would-be husband's interlocu tory decree. She said stve had been a moving-picture actress in the Mack Sennett studio in Los Angeles and that Gilkyson had been an officer in naval aviation. She went under the name of ".Lois Date" in the movies, she said. Genevieve E. Taylor, the nurse who caused the arrest of the Gilkysons, had attended the supposed wife during two weeks of illness and had cashed a check of Gilkyson for ?75 which was found to be valueless. Gilkyson took $t0 with which to go to San Francisco and left $15 with his "wife." Mean while he had borrowed ?25 from Miss Taylor, left her to pay a $14.40 hos pital bill, and owed her $30 for two weeks of nursing, making a total of $14 1.40. The young woman who posed as Gil ky son's wife now declares that Gilkyson deceived her, 'that he bor rowed much money from her without repaying it, and that she will prosecute him if restitution is not made. MEMORIAL FDR STOCKMEN W. S. I.ADD S AND 'MIKE' WIS DOM'S WORK REMEMBERED, Livestock Pioneers to Be Honored by Engraved Plates in Stock Show Home's Walls. Two memorial plates, one commemo rating the pioneer work and achieve ments of William S. Ladd, who was among the first importers of pure-bred livestock in the state, and the other in memory and recognition of M. D. 1 "Mike") Wisdom, for many years identified with tle livestock industry of Oregon, will be imbedded in the stonework at the en trace of the new stockshow building now being built at North Portland by the Pacific-International livestock exposition. "Oregon is just now beginning to ivap the great benefits of the splendid pioneer work done by these two men," said Chairman Frank Robertson of the building committee yesterday, "and the livestock enthusiasts of the pres ent day are eager to give every recog nition possible to the foundation work which they did. With the completion ot' the Pacific-International stock show- home, a new and widespread impetus will be given to the development of the great livestock industry in the north west. The foundation for the great industry now so splendidly expanding was laid by our pioneer livestock men, among whom William S. I-add and M. D. Wisdom were most prominent." Mr. Ilobertson said that the huge building, covering z acres, is now more than 50 per cent complete, and that construction in ail the numerous units of the big stock show home is now far in advance of the schedule. It will be completed by November 1 gi-ving a leeway of more than two weeks for detail equipment before the Pacific-International s annual show opening on November 17. Many of Portland's livestock enthu Biasts will go to Salem today to at tend a luncheon of breeders, stock men, bankers, business men and civic club leaders at the Hotel Marion, at 1:30. Vice-President K. G. Crawford of the United States National bank will be one of the speak-ers and Frank Brown of Carlton, president of the Pacific International, will also address the meeting. 2 5 m - IllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllltlllllllllllllU What Would You Like Us to Advertise?
