ID THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1921 REPORTER BLAMED BY MRS ETHER DG E Woman Alleged to Be Cause of "Malice." HUSBAND'S STAND UPHELD Afternoon Paper, However, in Re ply Assumes Full Responsibility for Bond House Attack. In a letter addressed "to the press ftf Portland." Mrs. Stella M. Etheridge, wife of John L. Etheridge, ex-president of the bankrupt bond house of Morris Bros., Inc., yesterday charged Alfred C. Reese, financial editor of the Portland Telegram, with wan tonly setting out to ruin her hus band because the latter refused to employ In his headquarters here a certain woman, whose name she did nor mention. The publishers of the Telegram simultaneously announced full re sponsibility for that paper's policy In regard to the corporation's affairs, and Air. Reese, for seven years an employe of that paper, issued a denial of ulterior motives. Mm. KtheridKe Dni Theft. In her letter Mrs. Etheridge, who Is under indictment on a charge of stealing $100,000 in bonds, as Is also Mr. Etheridge, made general denial of this accusation and reiterated pre vious declarations that neither she nor Mr. Etheridge believed the cor poration was insolvent; that It was closed up by Fred S. Morris, also under indictment, for wrongful mo tives, and she then proceeds to make V.a 1iopcraci arralnut Mr RaPKP W h 1 ( h v. u a. i p, . u.nuiuv 1 'were as follows: Behind It all there la a woman in the came. Behind that woman thte was an angry man. a man determined mon ra venee upon Jack Ktheridge; vowed to ruin him. Why? Beeaun Jack refused to give employment to the woman, upon the man's Insistent request and virtual de mand. Because Jack did not want the woman in his employ and threw the man out of his office when he angrily renented the man's Insistence and then his threats. I thall not mention the woman's name (not his wife). The man is Alfred Reese, who is now and was then (the fall of U18) a reporter on the Portland Daily Telegram- From that day and up to the present, the angry man has devoted him self to "getting Jack Etheridge," aided by others who had one reason ur another to barm Jack and his business. This angry man went from bank to bank, from com petitor to competitor, and resorted to every kind of trick to accomplish his destructive purpose because Jack refused In no uncer tain manner, to engage the services of the woman who was nut the angry man's wife. Pur pose Held A ccom pi I sh ed , The angry man, Alfred Keese. has ac complished his purpose, and can well re gale himself In the glory of the downfall of Jack Etheridge, and now the indictment of anorher woman, Jack's wife. iiow eweet must be his revenge upon Jack, all on account of that tiny Incident of the fall of 11H8. Fortunately for Alfred Keese, when Jack and I decided upon the advice of friends and counsel, to leave fur a short vacation, in order to avoid threatened ad ditional persecution, Fred Morris, the man who had given us his absolute promise to protect the business. Instead, closed it. We left Portland, secure in the thought that the business would be protected. Fred Morns kittsml me goud-by and said "Now, go with Jack and have a good time. Jack is all Bhut to pieces, he hasn t had a rest or vacation for a long time. Forget all about the business. Jack's in terest in the business is worth at .east $J.U,U00, and I will taks good cara of everything." It was like the parting of father frum son and daughter. And tnen, as quickly as we got out of sight, Fred Morris not only set the machinery in mo tion to ruin us for his own gain, but swore to the complaint charging Jack with theft of bonds that Mr. Morris knew were in the express office addressed to Mr. Morris. Revenge Called Devilish. 80 Alfred Keese has had his devilish revenge. He has brought joy to the hearts of all those who were anxious to see Jack out of business, but what heart aches ard burdens he has heaped upon Ins victims," all because Jack' 'refused' "tJ engage the services of a woman in UUf. AVli at anguish he has brought to the cui tutnors of the largent bond house on the Pacific coast, all because Jack refused lu eugage the services of a woman in Air. Keese replied as follows: ll wilt lake moru than what 1 Mrs. ilh-rldge's letter ata forth to wreck my rrputatiun us one who shows undue inter est in any woman other than his wife. The inferences thrown out In Mrs. Ktherldge's letter are not new to nie, having been cir culated by John L. Etheridge when the grand jury t t?alm commenced investi gating his underground connection w 1th the state treasurer's office. At my request Ktherdige did employ at Hherty loan hetdquaJ'ie rs a young woman and also offered to employ her at Morris Brothers, Inc., but ?h declined, pleading thnt she was "afraid of him." I had no special Interest in the young woman whom the Etheridge family seek to make a fac tor with me in this esse, and under the circumstances could not be peeved. The fa lem grand jury had my statement on this matter to show whet hr' there could have hem any unworthy motive on my art, and absolved me. Color to News Held Denied. KthrJdge ordered me out of his office because 1 refused to color Investment news to his liking. That was my first ex TTience in being ordered out of any man's rresenne. The Telegram editorial depart ment knew of all that had happened be tween me and Etheridge, and of the threats he had made because of refusal to boost his game to put over questionable propositions on the Investing public. Passing aside the libelous nature of Mrs. Etheridge's letter, which is part of the propaganda to win acquittal of her husband from the numerous criminal charges he is now facing, it is quite re markable that 1 am not accused of blng the author of the transactions which have involved Etlieridre and brought loss to ever IlflOO investors, whose confidence In the honesty of the head of the bankrupt institution was misplaced. Fuch a charge would ne no more inconsistent. I admit that as a civic duty and to vert further losses to Investors, I was active in exposing Etheridge's prison rec erd In New Jersey before he came to Port land. M hHcomh Answer KtherldRc. W. JD. Whltcomb, who was receiver for the bankrupt bond house and who --a the subject of an attack by let ter from Mr. Etheridge a few days ago, has answered the letter and his answer was .riven out vesterdav bv M P. LaRoche, counsel for Mr. Ethe ridge, as follows: "Receipt is acknowledged of your iciifi ui hht ii' in iiiniani, vviui n ik L ter has received my careful considera tion. "Under the -bankruptcy laws all reports in bankruptcy filed with the t'nited States court are public documents. a caretui ana conscientious siuay of the final report will, I firmly be lieve, answer fully all Inquiries in your letter. "In a matter of this sort criticism Is, of course, to be expected, but it is my sincere belief that time will even tually prove all matters stated in that report to be facts, as stated."

POLICE DIG UP LIS 11 JOHNSTONE CASE Evidence Connecting Prisoner With "The Shadow" Found. LETTER IMPORTANT CLEW Man Now Held as Olympia Black mailer Firmly Believed Portland Outlaw. Additional circumstantial evidence, which police detectives believe, fixed the responsibility for the "Shadow" blackmail plot definitely upon H. L. Johnstone, confessed extortionist who attempted similar operations at Olympia, was found yesterday by Lieutenant of Inspectors Moloney and Inspector Morris. Johnstone, who is now under- ar rest at Los Angeles'for his Olympia blackmail operations, wa in Portland in January, during the two weeks that "Shadow" was sending his threa tening letters through the mails to J. Wesley Ladd. Ben Selling. Henry Jenning Jr. and other Portland resi dents. It was learned that Johnstone was registered at the Empress hotel. Sixth and Stark streets, from January 10 to 18, inclusive. The "Shadow" began his operations in Portland on January 8, and they continued daily up until January 13, at which time he nar rowly escaped capture east of lion tavilla. Letter Is Discovered. In addition to information which showed Johnstone was . in Portland during the "Shadow" reign of terror, Lieutenant Moloney also unearthed a letter written by Johnstone to a woman living on the east side after he left Portland and went to Olympia. The.name of this woman was with held by the police as were the con tents of the letter. The printing on the rear of the envelope, however, was declared by the police detectives to be absolutely Identical to the printing on the "Shadow" letters written here. The management of the Empress hotel told police detectives tnat they knew but little of Johnstone s activ Hies while he was at the hotel. Tney did remember, however, that on one occasion he asked that the windows of his room be nailed down, and they thought this was a peculiar request at the time. They positively identified photographs of Johnstone as l'ke- nesses of the man who stayed at the hotel for two weeks in January. It was on January 11 that the "Shadow" first flashed his flashlight signal on the Base Line road, believ ing he was to receive a package con taining 110,000 from J. Wesley La3d, one of his intended victims. Again on the night of January 13, he kept an other rendezvous on the same road east of Montavilla. It was this last time that he engaged in a running gun fight with deputy sheriffs and narrowly escaped capture. Lunch Box Clue Followed. The police also want to learn whether or not he owned a German luger. Police detectives eay that Johnstone is an overseas veteran, and might easily have owned one of the German automatics. Another point which the police be lieved a thread of circumstantial evi dence connecting Johnstone with the "Shadow" operations, was the fact that Johnstone, in his extortion plans at Olympia' worked his flashlight with a long string in order that he might remain in hiding several feet from the roadside when the automo bile he signaled passed by. By using a string he would escape the possi bility of being shot if occupants of the automobile should fire upon him the moment the flashlight signal was given. Johnstone Carries Horseshoe, "The Shadow," or Johnstone, carries a horseshoe in each hip pocket and a iabbit'8 foot in his hat," said Deputy Sheriff J. H. Gifford, who stopped over in Portland last nit-ht on his way to T.os Angeles to bring Herbert L. Johnstone, confessed Olympia shadow, to that city for tiial on a charge of attempted blackmail. And Johnstone, although he will he tried in a Washington court, will wear an Oregon boot back to the north, he said. The boot was prof fered by local detectives when Gif ford" made the remark that he was going to start from Los Angeles with his prisoner, but wasn't so sure of arriving with him. Gifford and Portland detectives who worked on the shadow case here compared notes, and it -was found that the lessons learned in Portland were applied in Olympia. . George Mottman, who was the proposed vie tim in Olympia, was sent to the rendezvous carrying a packagp, which he was to drop at the flash of i light. There were no officers ac companying him, but about 20 mem bers of the American Legion wore scattered in the vicinity. The Shadow' Makes Break. ,A suspect approacnea a goup which included Mayor C. H. Bowen. He was Jialted and one of the groifp went to a telephone. During his ab sence "The Shadow" paced backward and forward, going a little farther each time. At a propitious moment he broke and ran. The mayor opened fire, but missed. He said that his cartridges contained black powder, which made such a. smudge that he could not see the fleeing man after the first shot had been fired. State Will Try Johnstone. SEATTLE, Wash., March 17. (Spe. cial.) Tracing the movements of Her. bert L. Johnstone, arrested by post- orfice inspectors in Los Angeles last Tuesday, C. B. Welter, Portland city postoffice inspector, was in confer ence here this morning with J. S. Swenson, city Inspector here, and Rob. ert C. Saunders, United States district attorney.

The district attorney announced, bow ever, that since state authorities at Olympia were sending officers to re turn the prisoner for trial in the state courts, he would await whatever action might be taken by the state in the case. The blackmailing activities In Port land. Inspectors said, preceded John stone's escape at Olympia. Several men have been arrested by Portland detectives and postoffice inspectors in recent months on suspicion that they were the notorious "Shadow," but have been released. Several months ago one suspect was arrested hers by police, working with Port land authorities, but was one of those released. Inspectors said that their present investigations were to connect John stone with some of the Portland black mailing . attempts if be is the man they believe him to be. Inspector Wel ter will remain in Seattle for a few days in bis work. Astoria Requested to Help. ASTORIA, Or.', March 17 (Special.) H. L. Johnstone, the man arrested a short time ago at Los Angeles, and who was suspected of being the "Shadow," who wrote threatening let. ters to several Portland men, was re siding in Astoria at the time the al leged offenses were committed. Johnstone came here last November and worked in a local machine shop until February 11, when he left. While here Johnstone made several trips to Portland. About two weeks ago the sheriff's office was'notified that Johnstone was wanted, and Dep uty Sheriff Bakotich was assigned to the case, but the man had left the city. Washington Wants Johnstone.
