which has been occupying th attention
of the United States district court all
week, With the closing of the case tho
work of Assistant United States Attor
ney Walter H. Evans, who takes up' his
v new office of district attorney of Mult
nomah county January 1, came to an

- nounced that an appeal would be taken.
The bond was set at $5000 and as the
defendant was Unable to furnien u, n
was remanded to Jail. - V -.' '
- A new precedent was. established by
Judge wolverton In cases or this una.
That is to the effect that the wife of the
dofendant can be made to testify agahutt
him; This-objection was made when Anna
Bchloss was first put on the stand by
' Attorney Vanderveer for tho defendant.
and Judge Wolverton made the ruling
mentioned. However. H aid, the govern.
men t little cood. an the Hchloss woman
r succeeded only In Jvorfcthg up a case of
perjury against herselt 4 . ti, .
Shi fainted twice on the witness stand
and was hysterical all the rest of the
time. Her testimony In- the main was
that she was a sick woman, couldn't re
member anything she bad told the grand
Jury or the government's special agent
who worked up the case, that she was
angry : when she made the statements
lia Incriminated her husband and that
ie wanted to deny them. In these re
peated denials, Mr. Evans declared he
had established a strong perjury charge.
' iwing the noon Intermission th
woman tiad sufficient strength to go
out in the hall and watt for two other
women, one of whom had testified In re
buttal for the state, and when they came
our, attack them fiercely. Deputy Mar
shal Frank Bcatty used some" strong
arm tactics In separating the trio. She
wti arrested on the perjury charge im
mediately after the case went to the
Jury and placed under $3000 bonds ts
await action on the part of the federal
grand Jury As soon as aha realized the
charge against her. she collapsed again
and the marshals had trouble in getting
her to Jail. r
' 'Kchloaa was charged, with bringing- the
woman from Chicago to Portland for
Immoral purposes. The woman told the
grana jury a heart rending tale of ill
treatment and on her story he waa In
dieted. This atory was found to be cor
rect in the evidence presented at the
trial. She denied all of It. She and the
defendant were 'married In Oregon City
' December 7, evidently on the advice that
by the marriage the woman would not
have to testify against her spouse.

Worden Is an ossified man. He as

being In the world. 1 f ' ; .
Worden is in Omaha for a few days
awaiting the arrival of relatives from
Ashland, Neb., and Colfax. He is on his
way to Memphis, Tenn., for the winter,
coming here Monday from Los Angeles,

the exception of bis eyes, his tongue and
his arms from the elbows to the flngor

suffers no pain and his affliction Is not
paralysis. . .-.-.. .
But despite his predicament, -Worden
is cheerful and contented. He is an in

strong cigars. His only wish while he
Is in Omaha, he says, Is that .he can

It was It years ago when Worden,
then a - farmer- at L Colfax first ' was
stricken. His neck - began ' to stiffen.
Medicine availed him nothing, and phy
sicians told him he was becoming ossi
fied. He set about to cheat death as
long as possible.
As the ossification of bis body spread
from his neck, Worden say that his Jaws
were beginning to sef 8o he put lit
tle) wedges between his teeth and kept
them there until the jaw bones were
rigid. And today there is probably a
naif Inch of space between his upper
and lower teeth. This is sufficient to
allow him to eat soft foods food that
requires no mastication In the mouth.
The hardening of the body gradually
spread until today it Is numb from head
to foot. The flow of blood through the
veins amounts to little more than seep
age, and gradually, doctors say, this will
stop altogether.
One can pound on Worden'a body until
the hands are bruised but Worden can
not feel the blow.
.Worden lies on his back constantly.
He cannot turn himself and cannot move
his head. ' He Is always looking up.
His body is not sore from constant
friction with a bed, and he suffers no
pain or any kind of a fever whatever.
Several physicians Monday night sub
jected Worden to a physical examina
tion at the Windsor, and they all ad
mitted that he is gradually becoming
completely ossified. Just hew long ft
will be before he finally dies, they were

ARLETA PUPILS ARE
MAKING UP WORK
Contrary to the report, that has been
published that pupils at the Arleta
school, who were kept out for several
days on account of ssmallpot scare,
would be unable to make their grades,
and therefore not secure promotions,
Principal B. F, Ball has declared that
all the work js being made up.-and that
as many pupils as usual will be pro
moted. ;-,'.':. :x',tl '!'
' He said that many parents were under
th Impression that because it was re
ported that pupils r would not make
grades, that It was not necessary to
keep the children in school. This, how
ever, Is not the condition, and it Is just
aa necessary now as it ever has been.
The teachers are doing harddr work,
and the principal himself is taking care
of many of the classes, to determine
the condition of affairs.
