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. It was believed by postal
authorities that Johnstone is the
"Shadow, sought for months for at
tempted blackmail of the postmaster
and many prominent citnens in
Portland.
Inspector Welter discussed advisa

The district attorney announced, bow

Olympia were sending officers to re

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.

To exemplify the newest style ef

bled and took notes. Some daring
modes were shown, and some sensa

Beautiful young manikins wore the
gowns, coats and frocks 'and dis
played them on a stage draped with
red and black velvet cleverly hung,
and set amid a bower of palms nd
spring flowers. The girls paraded
along an elevated platform the en
tire length of the hall. Persian rugs
covered the floor space.
First shown were the sport cos

heavier Roshanara predominating.
White will be immensely popular this
summer with the girls who would be
most fetching at the beach and moun

and many of the suits.
Skirts will be longer, but they also
will be fuller, and more materials will
be needed In their making.
Tunics and bouffant effects over the
