Convinced that George B. Dawson,
employed by the (Southern Pacific
railroad aa a laborer, died at his home
In Lents Monday from strychnine pois
oning, city and county officials made
an unavailing search yesterday in an
effort to discover where the drug was
purchased.
Meanwhile Mrs. Johanna Dawson, his
widow and the only person present
when ha wan taken with convulsions
which ended in his death, sings hymns
In the county Jail, where she Is held
by orders of Deputy District Attorney
Ryan as a material witness.
She courts the fullest Investigation,
ahe says, and looks upon her incarcer
ation as an act of Uod to test her belief
In the goodneas of the Creator and
a means of bringing her children into
the church, which she joined about two
months ago.
The fact that liquids found in the
toraa"h of her husband responded to
the teals for strychinne and a small
iose of it killed a guinea pig after giv
ing every indication of strychnine
pblaoning does not seem to trouble
her at all.
Knows 'gh Is Suspected.
"I know I am suspected," she said
last night. "But I look upon this all
as a test given by Uod to see how
strong my fufth is. Everything will
come out all right, and since tbey
placed me In jail I feel that I could
shout from the housetops that the
Lord is good and will care for his own,
Mrs. Ihiwaon is a plain looking little
gray liulreil woman of 46 years, with

seven children, all fully grown save
two. her youngest, who are 12 years
old and twins. '

Sheriff Returns to
Sacramento in Auto
Bring Back Percy Gregg; Trip Fea
tured by Breakdown and Delays on
X.ony Bif.e.
Sheriff Word, dust-begrimmed and
face tanned to the hue of the pro
verbial berry, arrived in Portland from
Sacramento, by auto., last night, with
Percy Gregg, wanted for issuing checks
on banks in which he had no funds.
The sheriff looked not unlike a ghost
from the desert as he whizzed up to
the county jail with his prisoner. The
trip was teatuied by all the terrors of
bad roads and breakdowns which are
the lot of the motorist on a long and
tortuous Journey. His machine broke
down in the Siskiyous and at Medford
he was compelled to wait three days
for parts- ordered for the car from
San Francisco. On the last day of his
dash he covered 240 miles.
The trip was made in the car that
young Grerr had taken from his fath
er, said to bo a wealthy resident of
bpokane. The parent, who is expected
to reach Portland soon, has arranged
to repay all losses which have been
sustained through the misconduct of
the son, it is said. The -sheriff and
Multnomah county will also be reim
bursed for the financial outlay inci
dent to the Journey south and return.
