"They All Want to Know Why I
Did It, but I'm Not Tellln No
body Xuthln'," Is RcjJly.
"Gimme a little more time to think
It over an' I'll come clean," prom
ised Clarence Johnson, self-confessed
murderer of Mrs. Eunice W. Freeman,
W- C. T. TJ. and prison reform worker,
to District Attorney Evans yesterday
on his arrival from Nome, Alaska, in
custody of Inspector Goltz and Pa
trolman Phillips.
Though general admissions have
been obtained from Johnson that he
was the wielder of the gas-pipe in
one of the most brutal and cowardly
murders In Portland police annals,
he has made no specific confession
and the motive for the crime remains
a mystery.
The trip from Nome on the last
boat out had been' a stormy and ad
venturous one, without many com
forts for the prisoner or his escorts.
Johnson was in an ugly humor on
his arrival late yesterday, and after
facing a battery of cameramen at the
union depot announced that he in
tended to punch the nose of the first
newspaperman who spoke to him. He
did not, but declined to talk at any
length.
Prisoner Is Reticent.
"I won't even admit that I killed
her," he declared, in contradiction of
former statements he had made to
authorities in Nome.
"Wouldn't you clear up the mys
tery of the crime by giving a reason
for it?" he was asked.
"Aw. they all want to know why I
did it," he replied in half-confession,
"but I'm hot tellin' nobody nothin'
just yet."
District Attorney Evans was wait
ing for Johnson on his arrival, but

APPLES MOVED ON TIME
the man would make no statement Sufficient Cars Received to Prevent
last night, outside of toe promise to
make a clean breast of matters in
day or so. The officers who returned
with him said he made a very docile
prisoner and, though refusing any
details of the crime, or reasons for
it, indicated that he would be willing
to tell all he knew later.
Appearance la Jovial.
The slayer is short, fat and has
none of the earmarks of the hardened
criminal which would strike an unr
practiced eye. He looked like a man
who is usually good natured, and
after a substantial meal at the county
Jail brightened up and talked freely
with those about him. although de
clining to speak of hia crime.
Johnson is said by the , authorities
to be a moral pervert, and in that
circumstance a clue may be found
to the motive for the killing. He is
28 and the woman he killed, to whom
he owed hia freedom, from prison,
was 58.
Mrs. Freeman was found on the
Congestion.

Hair is by far the most conspic
uous thins about ua and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An es
pecially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair, that dis
solves and entirely remove; all
dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can
easily be used at trifling- expense by
simply dissolving a teaspoonful of
canthrox (which you can get at any
druggist's), in & cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of Just the
top of the head. This chemically dis
solves all impurities and creates a
soothing;, cooling lather. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and pliant, while the hair takes on
the glossy richness of natural color,
also a fluffiness which makes it seem
much heavier than it is. After can
