It was de signed by P. Chappell Browne, an ar chitect with offices in the Mohawk buildinff. In its announced programme of vin dication, tbe Juvenile Court yesterday produced before Circuit Judge Camp bell, of Oregon City, a multitude of witnessea who gave testimony tending to show that Mrs. Alvlna Johnson is not financially competent to care for her rour children. Except for the neighborhood gossip as related from the witness chair by several of the witnesses nothing was brought out to show that either Mrs. Johnson or any of her children are delinquent Insofar as their character or morals are con cerned. The habeas corpus bearing-, in which Mrs. Johnson is seeking to regain the custody of her 15-year-old daughter, Mabel, from the Frazer Detention Home, where she was placed by Juvenile Judge Tazwell, was resumed yesterday and continued throughout the dsy. When court adjourned late yes terday afternoon Judge Campbell an nounced that the hearing would be concluded next Thursday morning. j. G. Arnold, special counsel for Judge ' Tazwell. said he had many otner wit nesses to produce before the case is brought to a close. You can bring- the whole city of Portland In if you like," commented Judge Campbell. "We will hear what tbey all have to say." Attorney and Judge In Tilt. Bitterness cropped out to an extreme degree during tbe cross-examination of Judge Tazwell by John Ditchburn. counsel for Mrs. Johnson. At one time during his examination Judge Tazwell repeated several times that Mrs. John son was a "fine actress." 'She,, certainly missed her calling when she did not take up stage work," he said with some heat. And you missed your calling when you didn t become a hodcarrier," re torted Ditchburn, while the courtroom laughed and Judge Campbell rapped for order. Much of the testimony produced went to show that Mabel Johnson, about whom the entire proceedings revolve, s an unusually well-behaved child, al though-not aa bright as her younger sister, Gladys. Ida M. Manley, super visor of a special school for backward children, testified that the two. girls' conduct was irreproachable in school and that they always displayed consid erable interest in their work. "Test, however, revealed that Mabel, although 14 years old, possessed mental development of a child of 8," added Miss Manley. Woman Tardy In Payments. N". H. Troosa and John Swift, grro- cerymen of the 'Woodstock district, de clared that Mrs. Johnson was often guilty of marked reluctance and tardi ness in meeting her obligations. They said they had to look to the widows' pension department of the Juvenile Court, from whom Mrs. Johnson was Deceiving 132.60 a month, for payment of their last accounts. Mr. Troose as serted that he had once found that Mrs. Johnson was getting provisions from his store on another customer's account by asking the children of this customer to buy things in their father's name and transfer them to her. Attorney Ditchburn contradicted a pant of Mr. Troose s testimony with the statement that Gladys and youthful daughter of this other cus tomer's had on one occasion clouded their mother's reputation for fair deal ing by spending foolishly money which had been entrusted to them for the purpose of paying the grocer. Mrs. C. A. Bonnay said that Mrs. Johnson did not appear to exercise the proper supervision oven Gladys, and that the daughter, after the mother had gone to work late In the after noon, received visits from a young soldier. a number of food strikes. Professor Lyon has acted in an autocratic man- I ner and has abused the boys. It is I not true that the boys have not been punished severely. One of them was! struck by Professor Lyon and now has the scar of a cut across his face. "The food was another thing that I caused trouble. It was miserable.
