'John' T. Davies Confesses to
I Series of Forgeries for One
I of Which 0. R. BIystone Is
' Now in Prison.
? If there la any forgery in Portland
' charged to a R. BIystone and .forwhlch
John T. Davies. "the back-hand forger,"
J will not. aasutrfV the blame. It has not
i fceen 'discovered yet , Jf there la any
j underground motive back of Davies' ad-
Jr missions, that, too. has not been dis
f covered and members of the deteetlve
; department who at first thought that
Davies may have been a .partner tn
J crime with BIystone, say Jhey have
been forced to abandon that theory.
-Si.- "I don't know Biyetone and never
- . i saw him," says Davies. "The only rea
v son I admit these forgeries Is because
J I do not want to see a man punished
for anything I did,"
BIystone was at first thought to have
'j been sent to the Oregon state penlten-
? tiary Tor forging a check on the Sar
' gent hotel buffet Davies admitted
passing this check and detectives were
; discussing It in their headquarters when
; Deputy District Attorney Fitsgerald en
j tered and caught the drift of their re
, : marks.
: "You're wrong-." said Fitzgerald. "Bly
i atone was sent up for forging a check
i" f on a grocery. -l
It looked as though Blystone's
chances for a pardon had received an
i Irreparable dent, but hop again came
J np smiling when an hour or two later
j Davies volunteered, the admission, that
. he forged a check on. the same gro-
' eery and on the same day when Bly
j stone was supposed to have passed the
7 .worthless; paperTTTh&rsama afternoon
t it -was found by. court records -that Bly
' stone had been sentenced for passing a
J check on the Cosy Corner saloon, but
j ,the ever ready Davies was undismayed
. and declared that he had passed that
'. f check, too. -V :
i , The anatterwasrtaken to District At-
, torney Cameron. , who talked to Davies
snd later went, to Salem with Detective
' Hellyer to Interview BIystone. Though
"he pleaded guilty. .at the time of tils
trial to the forgery for. which. -he was
; sentenced, BIystone told the district at-
, torney that' he bad done so because he
was wanted in Spokane and. feared a
heavy sentence there because he once
; served time In the 'Walla Walla penl
J;tentlary. BIystone was Identified here
t as a check passer by five different peo.
'-pla, but be and Paries are supposed to
I resemble each other In many respects.
District Attorney Cameron feels-con-i
vlnced that Davies really committed
-t-the crimes whieh. BIystone was sus
I pected and he will recommend the coa-
vlct's release upon parole.
