IDAHO RECORD DISCLOSED
Alleged Murderer of Sheriff Taylor
Said to Be Russian-German,
Bad Character.
PENDLETON, Or., Aug. 16. (Spe
cial.) Jack Kathie, one of the five
outlaws indicted by the grand jury
for murder of Sheriff Til Taylor, was
thought to be the only one of the
quintet to give his real name, but he
also has proved false. His real name
Is John Laffenbean and he has a
criminal record.
Rathie, as he Is best known since
the jail-break here July 25, halls from
American Falls, Idaho, according to
two young men who identified him.
Rathie, or Laffenbean, took part In
a bold robbery at American Falls
three years ago, according to the
story told by the pair who identified
him. Following the robbery he was
shot in the shoulder while making his
escape. This gunshot wound in the
ehoulder was obtained in the army,
Rathie once said, while on other oc
casions he said it was due to an acci
dent while rabbit hunting.
Rathie Worst of All.
For his crime at American Falls
Laffenbean wa9 sentenced to serve
four years in the reformatory in
Idaho, his informers said. He was out
on parole and officials here were
asked to write to the reformatory in
Idaho to obtain hia record.
That the two men who disclosed
Rathie were well acquainted with him
was evident' when they appeared and
asked to look at the prisoners. Rathie
recognized them and called them by
their first names. The men asked
that their identity be not divulged.
According to their story, Laffebean
or Rathie, la a Russian-German, and
a bad character. The officers who
have had charge of the prisoners will
bear out the latter statement. They
characterize him as the most treachr
erous and the least honorable of the
five now held for the murder of
Sheriff Taylor. "He whimpers and
seeks sympathy from those who
would let their heart-strings "be
touched but would knife them should
they turn their back," one official
said today.
Man lias Yellow Streak.
"He has a yellow streak as broad
as his back," the official declared.
With the disclosures concerning
Rathie, four of the five men now are
known to have committed past
crimes.- The man with the best record
so far is Elvin Leroy Stoop, alias
Louis Anderson, whose passage of bad
checks at Umatilla two months ago
is believed to have been his first of
fense of record. Rathie has been the
most persistent liar of the bunch, ac
cording to District Attorney Keator,
and the hardest man from whom to
wring any confession. Rathie was
arrested here for store robbery in
June.

TWO star acts, each. with, only one
person in the cast, are rivals for
the headline number of the" Pantages
bill, which opened yesterday. Agnes
Kayne and Carl McCullough. both of
whom are 6peclallsts In singing and
speaking words of wisdom, present
these clever skits. ,
Agnes talks entertainingly of her
five husbands in "Is Marriage a Fail
ure?" and tells of the lure of the ex
perienced widow. She sends the
audience into gales of laughter by her
nonchalant, "it made me so mad,"
which she utters on all occasions. Her
costumes are clever and she gives
several droll recitations and sings a
few songs for good measure.
Carl's specialty in "Footlight Im
pressions" is what he terms a series
of travesties on various noted actors
and singers of the day. He inter
prets "Just for a Night" in the way
in which he thinks Harry Lauder,
David Warfield, John McCormack and
some lesser lights would have done it.
A novelty for a stage production is
"Submarine F-7," scheduled as a real
istic representation of a real sub
marine in action. A cross section of a
submarine is shown with the blue of
the ocean above and the inside of the
submarine complete with the seaman
at the helm, the officers in command
and every device necessary for this
underwater life. The submarine sinks
a German dreadnought, but is injured
and the men are saved just in time by
divers from a dredge.
"When Caesar Sees Her," presenting
Julius Caesar for the wets and Marc
Antony for the drys, is a rollicking
satire with Anthony wearing a mono

Caesar spouting forth parodies on
Shakespeare in most unexpected
places.
The aeroplane girls, swinging in
