Jack La Rose May Go' Free If the State
Should BelJnable to Bring Missing
Man Back to Oregon Gameron Thinks
He Can Produce Him.
Mabelle ' Oilman Corey, just as the
camera . man caught her coming
from the steamer after her trip
t to, Europe. Mrs. Corey has de
clared her intention of building a
theatre '.of her own in Xew' York
which will , be devoted to the
, amusement of children and the
production of plays of American
dramatists
Harry Young, one of the chief wit
nesses fpr the skate in the case against
Jack La Rose, charged with killing
H. Neuman with a gas pipe, is the
latest man to drop out of sight. If
he does not appear to testify against
La Rose, the staters case will be
greatly weakened, and another man
charged tuth a henious crime rpay go
free because the evidence is not strong
enough to convict. - -
Hot some time after the arrest of
La Rose, Young was detained at the
county jail. Then he was released on
a promise to report to the district at
torney once each week. District At
torney Cameron today stated that h,e
has not reported for about a month,
but the district attorney says that'
Young can be produced when the time
comes. fie said he would not care to
state for publication where Young is.!
It Is certain that Toung is missing
from, his accustomed "haunts, and he has!
not been In' Portland for some-time.
It was he who knew La Roue as well
or bfltter than any other man In -this
city and during the few ays that the
accused- man .spent in the city before
he was .chased -down oft the street and
captured after making a vicious assault

The disappearance of Young recalls
thnfact that two of tho most important
witnesses In the case against Edward H.
J?a.riln,T,h?If ed with tn murder of
Nathan Wolff, are likewise on the miss
ing, list One is Max Drey, the peddler
who Identified the bloody shirt dis
carded by the murueser as one he sold
to Martin. The other is the sister of
Mrs. Martin, who could have, told as to
Martin s arrival at home and his appear
ance on the night of the murder.
The murder of Neuman, closelv fol
lowing the Wolff - tragedy; attracted
much attention. After the arrest bf La
Rose there were no more gas pip
crimes, and the tension following th
horrible crimes relaxed with the feeling
that the right men had been, placed be
hind the bora. Now it appears that im
portant links in the case .against botu
men charged with , these ..crimes are
likely to be missing when their cases
are called for trial, Martin on October
