When in close confinement Evans becomes violent, but when allowed In the yard or out with the yard work ing gangs he is a good prisoner and because of his great physical strength is able to do a tremen dous; amount of work. For about six weeks after he was brought to Salem Evans was under observation at the state hos pital for the insane, but a board of physicians decided he was sane. Evans, Doran and William E. Ducharme left Bend,, Or., Saturday night, December 10, 1921, in an automobile betopging to Evans, he having agreed to bring the other two men to McMinnville when they missed a train at Bend. Both Doran and Ducharme had been in the employ of the Brooks-, Scankm Lumber company. Upon their arrival at The Dal les that night Doran and Duch arme were going to stop at a ho tel, but Evans told them he had a friend living a short distance out from The Dalies with whom they could stay and persuaded them to accompany him. When about three miles out of The Dal les at night on a lonely road, ac cording to evidence at the trial, Evans stopped the automobile and all three got out, Evans explain ing that they would have to walk from there to the home of bs friend. According to Ducharme's story Evans began to shoot and Doran fell "dead, -while Ducharme received a wound in the shoulder. The crime apparently was for rob bery, as Doran's pockets were' turned inside out when the body was found and Evans later con fessed that he killed him and took his money.
