Velguth. was arraigned in the cir cuit court September 13. 1906, but a continuance was secured. He entered a plea of not guilty September 25, 19u6. The doings of the couple by this time had become a sensation in Portland. Two days later came the climax when the two went to Ore gon City and were married. Velguth appeared before Judge Sears October 9, 1906, changed his 1 'tod' ?T2'fr ' v 'Z-' $ 1 plea to guilty, and was sentenced one to ten years In the state penitentiary. lie was paroled at the end of one year. and went to live with Mrs. Velguth.

Bible 7oond in Suitcase. Only last Wednesday she moved to the Congress hotel, where she had a room on the eighth floor. After the body had been taken to the morgue yesterday, Deputy Coroner Smith went to her room. The apartment was found in perfect order. Everything had been packed. Her baggage consisted of a heavy trunk, a black suitcase and a black handbag. The handbag contained drugs and perfumes of wide variety. The suitcases contained a beautiful lace gown, evidently her wedding Kown; satin slipper and el small Bible. On the flyleaf of the latter was marked these chapters and verses" Acts v'3e, x:39, xiii:29. These refer ences seem to have no significance ex cepting' that they all refer to the crucifixion. That Nadene Grace Nichols-Velguth was tn fortland was a surprise 10 many. Most of the time since the termination of the Velguth case she had been. in California, in and about San Francisco, where- she ha a host of friends. The little green address book contains more than 100 names of ac quaintances and friends, both men and women, in that city. It also gives names of many Portlanders, and of others in Chicago, Boston, New York and other eastern cities. The trunk was filled with neat and in some Instances expensive clothing. An opera wrap made by Paul Poiret, the Paris designer, waa apparently the most costly garment. The wardrobe. however, showed that It was but the remnant of one much, more elaborate. . Mrs. Velguth is said to have been 33 years old. She had the appearance of a woman of beauty, culture and re finement, and the few books found in her trunk showed appreciation of lit erature. The third finger of her left hand bore a plain band gold ring. It-has the inscription, "Allen to Orac'e." In the waste basket in her room in the Congress yesterday eight scraps of paper were found. They were put to gether. , Found written thereon was toe- date, March l, and the inscrip tion, "Dear Allen." The note ended there.

It also ruled that no snakes could be shown unless properly introduced to the audience by printed or spoken words of introduction, when those who do not like snakes may close the eyes while the emakes pass in review.
