THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 29, 1907.
RELEASED ON BONDS
Men Arrested for Conspiracy
Put Up $1000 Cash.
LAWYER ADVISES SILENCE
E. S. Raddlng and L. Ij. Mandelay
Refuse to Discuss Charge of At
. tempted Extortion From
Mayor Lane.
At 11:30 o'clock last night E. E.
Raddlng and L. I. Mandelay, the two
men arrested aa accomplices of Mrs.
Belle Waymlre In the attempt at ex
tortion on Mayor Harry Lane, were re
leased from custody upon the furnish
ing of $500 cash bail for each by their,
attorney, Seneca Fouts.
The admitting of the two men to
ball came about upon the police learn
ing of the whereabouts of Mrs. Way
mlre. who has been sought by the de
tectives for the past two days. Every
endeavor known to the police was
used to induce the woman to come to
Portland -voluntarily, but she abso
lutely refused to consider the proposals
of Chief Gritzmacher, who talked with
her over the long-distance telephone.
She talked with Attorney Fouts, who
told her to remain In Vancouver until
he saw her and. Informed her that he
would be over on the first car this
morning. The attorney cautioned her
not to say anything to anyone until ho
had had an opportunity to see her.
Acting under i similar Instruction,
both Raddlng ana Mandelay refused to
make any statements last night. To a
query. Raddlng replied that he would
do all his talking on the I witness
stand, and Mandelay announced that he
had nothing whatever to say.
Attorney Fouts furnished the J1J00
cash bail required for the two men as
early as 8 o'clock last night, but by
an arrangement with the Chief of Po
lice, the men were not released from
their quarters at the City Jail until
after 11 o'clock, as the officials were
desirous of confirming the apprehen
sion of Mrs. Waymlre before allowing
her alleged confederates their liberty.
When asked why he did not desire
Mrs. Waymlre to be brought to Port
land last night. Fouts said:
"I have not seen Mrs. Waymlre my
self as yet. and I do not care to have
the detectives try their. third degree on
her before I have an opportunity to
question her." 1
The attorney for the prisoners and
Judge Cameron were in conference with
Chief Gritzmacher on the matter for
some time last night, and as they sep
arated Fouts asked the Judge what was
meant by the charge "attempting to ex
tort property," but before he waa an
swered they were interrupted and 'did
not continue the argument.
When asked why Mr. G. Greene had
signed the complaint Instead of Mayor
Lane. Chief Gritzmacher said that Mr.
Greene, who was present when the com
plaint was to be Issued, -olunteered to
sign It, and that had he not done so it
would have been done by Detective Hell
yer. After a conference with her attorney
this morning. Mrs. Waymlre will prob-
ably come to Portland. Arrangements
may be made for bail to guarantee her
appearance at the preliminary hearing
of the case which .will come up before
Judge Cameron tomorrow morning.
RADDIXG UNDER A CLOUD
Union Men Suspected Him or Being
Pinkerton Spy.
Evidence gathered by District Attor
ney Manning yesterday in connection
with the part aliened to have been
played by E. S. Raddlng in the alleged
plot to blacken the reputation of
Mayor Lane, disclosed the fact that
for two months Raddi. j has been
practically under suspension by the
local Painters' Union, of which he is a
member, because of a suspicion that he
Is a Pinkerton detective in the employ
of the streetcar company. yFurther
more. C. M. Habyl, Pacific "'Coast Or
ganizer for the painters, gave the
startling testimony that Raddlng more
than two months ago told him he was
acting as private detective for a man
"high up" in Portland society, who
was seeking evidence against his wife
to enable him to obtain a divorce. Rad
dlng said, Habyl, asserted, that it was
his duty to trail the woman and re
port her every act, andthat thero was
"100 in it for nim" if all came out
right.-'
Only last Wednesday, the day that
the alleged plot against the Mayor
was exposed, Habyl testified that Rad
dlng called him from a meeting of
the union and assured him that the
grand coup toward which he had been
working was to come off that night.
"Something that will stir everybody
is going to happen. Some of these fel
lows who have been suspicious of me
will be proud that they know me
" WHAT WITCH?"
A Husband's Question.
When a man, from drinking coffee,
gets to such a condition that he cannot
eat breakfast without throwing It up,
it seems time to quit, but there are
thousands of people who do not un
derstand that when an article of food
or drink produces such conditions as
these, it should be absolutely left off.
A little woman out in Mont., writes
that she and her husband knew enough
to quit coffee when it had rapped them
hard. She says: "My husband was
so badly affected that he ate no break
fast for three or four years. He would
often try to drink a few sips of coffee
and invariably threw It up.
"When Postum Food Coffee was
brought to i. my attention I tried" it
. without having any faith in it, but
when J found what a delicious bever
age it was when prepared according to
directions, ana irom trying it on my
self found there were no bad effects.
I Induced my husband to take a cup
without telling him what it was. He
objected at first, saying that he would
be sure to throw it up, but when I in
sisted upon his trying it, it agreed
with him.
Morning after morning I gave him
Postum without telling him that it was
any different from ordinary coffee. His
stomach quickly recovered and he be
gan to eat breakfast. He asked me
one morning as he called for a second
cup 'what witch', had taught me 'to
make such dellcloas coffee,' and where
I found some that would agree with
hiinr Then I told him for the first
time that he had not been drinking
coffee but Postum, which had . so
strengthen! his stomach that he
could now eat as much breakfast as
any one. ' "
"My two sisters were badly troubled
with stomach disorders, cut after leav
lng off coffee and taking Postura they
, both recovered their appetites and took
on considerable flesh. I wish everyone
could be induced to use the health
giving, aromatic Postum.". "There's a

then," is the way Habyl says Raddlng
worded his mysterious information.
A hot night, a' game of cards, and
the curiosity of a fellow-union man to
see whether Raddlng wore the union
label on his clothes caused the first
trouble Raddlng had with the Painters'
Union. One hot night late in July,
according to John West, secretary of
the union, who told of the occurrence
to a reporter, Radd ng came to union
headquarters, hung his coat on a hook
and joined a party who were playing
cards. The coat was a new one, and
West reached over to look for the
union label in the. inside pocket. His
action seemed td excite Raddlng
greatly, for he jumped up to prevent
the inspection, and the two had a scuf
fle. West got the better of it. and,
opening the coat, discovered a Deputy
Sheriff's badge on the inside of the
lapel.
In his eftort to explain awaV the
presence of the badge Raddlng then
told the story about the woman to
West, and repeated it next day to
Habyl. The matter was reported to
the union and it was xlecidcd to bar
Raddlng out from all future meetings.
West repudiates an interview printed
in an afternoon paper Vesterday. He
did not appear before the District At
torney. Twice afterward the second time
last Wednesday according to Habyl,
Raddlng appeared outside the paint
ers' meeting hall at 162 Second street
and called him out to consult him
about his card of withdrawal from the
local union. Wednesday he told Habyl
to keep the card and his book until the
painters heard what would happen to
him that night. "It's to be puHed off.
all right," he assured Habyl. Answer
ing the latter's query, he said he re
ferred to the detective matter they
had talked about previously.
Radding acquired some notoriety in
the last municipal campaign when, as
secretary of the political club of the
Labor party, he failed to file a list of
its nominations with the Auditor until
too late for them to be placed on the
official ballot. He was accused of
double-dealing by many union men,
but insisted that- he had been told that
prosecution for perjury would follow
if he had filed the names, because of
the fact that he had not been present
when the petitions were signed and
could not truthfully swear that he had
where they could look up through ' the
light pit and see any one that passed
through Dr. Lane's door. I stepped back
to the cage and was about to say some
thing to the boy when I heard the
screams.
"'Vvnat is that?' I asked hurriedly. 'It
seems to come from Lane's office.
"I grabbed my bunch of keys and began
searching for the right one to unlock tr.
Lane's door. All this time the woman
was screaming at the top of her voice.
'Help! Police! Murder!' and I thought
that some crime was he.r.g committed. I
had just found the rlgi.i. key when this
fellow Raddlng rushed up and. reaching
over my shoulder, smashed the glass with
his fist.
" 'What do you want here?' I asked.
" 'Let me in there," he demanded.
"I then pulled the curtain back and

witnessed the signatures as required
by the law. Radding's story of this
episode is borne out by Secretary
West, --e affair caused intense bitter
ness against Radding among union
men.
JANITOR GIVES HIS VERSION
Corroborates Mayor Lane as to Epi
sode in Hamilton Building.
G. D. Drew, janitor of the Hamilton
building, yesterday told to the-police his
story of the sensational episode in Dr.
Lane's office Wednesday night. He con
firms the atory told by Mayor Lane that
night
"I had noticed Raddlng and Mandelay
around the Hamilton building for several
days," said Drew, "but paid little atten
tion to them, thinking that they were
waiting for some friend. I came down
to the building about 4 o'clock Thursday
afternoon and was busy for some time
on the fourth floor. I had finished this
work and about 6 o'clock walked up to
the elxth floor to sweep and dust the
rooms. - At the top of the stairway I
stopped to talk to Davies, the elevator
boy, who asked .me who the fellows were
loafing around the hall.
"I stepped over to the banister and saw
! the two men on the fifth floor In a place
could see into the room. Dr. Lane was
standing with his face toward the door,
and the woman, with one hand grasping
the Mayor's clothing, was backing toward
the door. Dr. Lane was making an effort
to break from the woman's clutch, and
was saying:
" 'D n you, let go of me.' i
"I had looked in but a minute when
Raddlng pulled down the curtain, expos
ing the whole scene to the half dosen
people who had gathered. I reached
throu-h. the broken glass and unlocked
the door from the inside. When the
woman saw this she made for the en
trance, crying: 'The brute, he tried to
force me.
"I stood in the doorway, and as the
woman came up I said, sarcastically,
Tou are big enough to throw both the
Mayor and myself over the banister.'
"The woman paid no attention to my
remark, passed through the door and
called to Davies, who waa standing near
by. to take her down to the street. Rad
dlng and the woman then entered the ele
vator. After that I went into the office
and taw how the Mayor's clothes were
torn. I think Mandelay walked down to
the street.
ELEVATOR BOY TELLS STORY
Confirms Account First Published
' of Affair in Hamilton Building.
C. A. .Davies, the elevator operator at
the Hamilton building took Mrs.-Waymlre
and Radding to the ground floor after tn
encounter with Mayor Lane. Ho had
noticed the twd" men, Mandelay and
Raddlng in the building several times, but
paid no attention to them until Thurs
day night. About 5:30 o'clock. Dr. Ander
son on his- way to the ground floor, told
the boy to watch the two men. saying
he feared that they were planning a
robbery.
Davies noticed the men around the hall
after Dr. Anderson had left and one of
them, Mandelay, took the elevator down
to the street for a few minutes. The
other remained in the hall and kept
watch.
"About 6 o'clock," said Davies, "Janitor
Drew was coming up from the . fourth
floor and I stopped the elevator to tell
him my suspicions. Later we Were on
the sixth floor and were discussing some
trivial matter when we heard the woman
scream. I ran out of my cage, and to
gether with Drew dashed for Dr. Lane's
door.
"The janitor was fumbling for the key
when one of the men rushed up, smashed
in the glass, and pulled away the cur
tain. It was dark in the room, and the
woman's back was turned to the door.
As. soon as Drew had .unlocked. the. door
the crowd rushed in. and two men taking

Clothes
Land
A man came Into our store the
other day with a semi-skeptical air
and said, to his mind ready-to-wear
clothes were all about alike. Why
should he, for instance, go out of
his way to buy of us?
Well, we Just took the time to
entertain and enlighten him. We
first spoke of our convenient loca-.
tion right in the center of busi
ness Portland, accessible to all
stores, offices and other places of
business, also on the carline, which
made prompt shopping possible to
those more remotely situated. Next,
there were our large, glass - front
salesrooms, where daylight reveals
the goods as It actually is; then
our oak, ball-bearing cases dust
and moth proof that keep each
garment in perfect shape, eliminat
ing the usual wear from handling
or laying in heaps ort counters: and
then we showed him our trader
mark, "Cambridge Correct Clothes,"
and explained what, it meant for a
firm to have its own individual
utamp how it put the responsibil
ity for quality on us rather than on
the tailoring firm back East alone;
and how, on this account we held
ourselves personally responsible to
each customer for the .value and
service of his clothes. We ex
plained the absolute necessity of
each garment being just exactly as
represented. We showed him why
It was better business for us to lose
money than to sell a garment that
would not live up to and surpass
every claim made for it.
And then the Clothes Store, being
a new departure, we explained the
necessity of making' our prices as
low aa possible consistent with
value. We must keep faith with
every man induced to visit us
through our published oiaims. We
also mentioned the fact that not a
single last year's suit vraa In the
tore.
After our, little talk, we opened
the cases and drew out samples of
our special value business suits
both novelties and , staples priced
from J20 to $53. He was evidently
a clothes Judge, for his eyes kin
dled with pleasurable appreciation
as he fingered the cloth and ob
served the workmanship. Then
came our superb evening clothes
full dress tuxedos sacque then
the overcoats top coats and craven
ettes. "Gentlemen," he said, shaking
hands, '"I give up. You've got the
goods." (We won't quote the size of
his order.)
That is just what we want every
man to know: that we've "got the
goods" also the facilities and the
low prices. Take a trip through the
store with us tomorrow and get our
view point.,. '

"One of these men was Radding. and the
other, an employe of the Irvlngton In

Mandelay, walked down stairs. I did not
notice him pass out."
DEFENDS WOMAN IN THE CASE
W. F. Bell Says Mrs. Waymlre Was
Lied Into Trap.
W. F. Bell, a local Jeweler, comes to
the defense of Mrs. Belle Waymlre,
whose name is connected with the at
tempt to besmirch Mayor Lane's repu
tation. Bell testified before District At
torney John Manning yesterday that Mrs.
Waymire is Innocent of any wrong doing
and that she was surely led into a trap.
Bell asserts that when the proper time
comes the woman will tell a story that
will shed- new light on , the matter.
Bell, who has been living with Radding
and Mrs- Waymlra at Fourteenth and
Montgomery streets, says he talked with
the woman Thursday night. Her story
then, he said, differed widely from the
newspaper accounts. Bell said that he
had known the woman for several
months and had become interested in
her efforts to recover her 6-year-old child
in Kansas. When she visited the Mayor
on numerous occasions in this connec
tion, however, he says his" suspicions
were aroused, aa were those-of Radding,
and the latter went to the Hamilton
building Wednesday to Investigate. Bell
says he takes no stock in any of the
stories about attempted blackmail.
