The story of J. Whyte Evans' trou

published on the front page of today's
paper was late this afternoon added to
by the following dispatch taken from
the Los Angeles Examiner of today
Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. The story
unfolded by the epistles, according to
th Los Angeles Examiner, and what
could be gathered from the two prlnol
pal. Is amaslng. They constitute a his
tory (whether true or not Is another
question) of Intrigues, treachery where
in a woman figures, and also pretend to
shed light upon a certain robber escaped
to Mexico. . t
This and much more is brought out
but the core of It all is that the man
who has dazsled Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco and Portland not only with his
ability as a manipulator and his sxtrav.

"I had been paying the fiddler and

low Owens 120,000 In casli In the last
three years and every cent of it was
extorted. He had a sword hanging
over me and made me sweat blood. I
never felt so happy In my life as I do
now that I have done this thing."
In ens of the letters Owens says:
"I cannot refrain from commenting

Trip to Jgexioo.
The strangest single expression In
either of the letters, however, Is that
where Owens referred to Evans' trip
Into Mexico and. the "purchase orlce of
my wire." That meant Mrs. Owens,
now Mrs. Evans. The doctor explains
that as follows:
"My wife likes fine clothes and was
an easy vlotlm to wealth. Evans made
his stales in Mexico and prevailed upon
her to get a divorce from me."
"Evans' " criminal record was fur-
plshed J)ylha ago. Quealla authorities,

That was 20 years ago,, and I hops I

Evans and his wife left the Alexan

found today. .
Owens was released today on ball

the school children of Multnomah
county and reflects much credit on the
youthful florists.
The table arrangements are under
the direction of the Congress of Moth
ers and the hall of the third floor
presents a very attractive appearance.
Some idea of the Interest in the show
may be gained from the exhibit of
little Martha Kotterman, who goes to
school In district No. 62, near Cedar
Mill. This young flower grower walked
five miles down Cornell road in order
to exhibit her beautirui Douquet or
dark blue asters. Leopora Hurrle is
exhibiting some asters grown In rocky
soil near Gilbert station and the care
she displayed is notably evident on the
display. Ira Newcombe, a young pupil
in the Russell vl He school has made
five entries In the show.
The judges are awarding the prizes
this afternoon. The show will con
tinue tomorrow night, and will end in
a sale of all the flowers.

When the new building ordinance is

this dangerous method will ,be confined
