Hart told the district attorney that
the jail break had been planned joint
ly by the five for a week and that he
had told them, "We'll have to shoot
our way out." To this they all con
sented, Keator says Hart told him.
After considerable prodding by the
Sheriff and his assistants, all five yes-! portation for the disposal of its pro
terday were more than willing to tell duct will be cheered by a promise re
their stories. Owens told the district j cently given by the Southern Pacific
attorney that his story of Saturday
night had not all been true. Keator
also aaid today that he would inves
tigate further the admission of Hart's
that be was implicated in the murder
of Fred Jennings and his wife near
Bancroft, Idaho, alleged to have been
made Saturday night.
Is Assumed Name
One ot the bolts from the sky yes
terday was Owens' assertion that Jim
Owens is not his real name. The dis
trict attorney promised not to reveal
the name Ow ens gave him, because of
his parents, who are said not to know
of his plight. Owens said he is of
Scotch-Irish-English descent and has
no Indian or other dark blood In his
veins. He was 23 in March.
Prior to his holdup at Cayuse on
July 11, Owens was never in serious
trouble, he told the attorney. At that
time he was with Hart and together
they looted two Indian homes of ri
fles, pistols, ammunition, saddles,
chaps, beadwork, Elk teeth and other
native finery that filled two trunks.
Then they met Eugene Lyman and
drove his car to Rieth after tying Ly
man In a barn.
Met Hart Here '
Owens says he met Hart on the
lawn of the O. W. R. & N. station
hero the day of the Cayuse holdups.
Together they boarded a freight train
intending to go to LaGrande. They
were put off near Cayuse when the
brakeman asked that they pay $2
each to ride. From there they went
to be Indian houses, seeking food.
After eating, they took the loot.
Both men denied having stolen
$2800 alleged to have been missing.
They declared that they did not know
of the presence of the money and bad
they known It, would never have tak
en away two trunks full of loot.
Had No Help
From his interview with the five
prisoners, the district attorney says
he has become convinced that no one
gave help to the fugitives. All that
they had to eat and wear was taken
from camps which they looted, he be
lieves. He branded as false the ru
mor that Hart had named a local man
who had aided in the escape and that
this man was being sought.
Each prisoner has told a complete
story of the jail break and the plot
but certain facts are being held "by
the district attorney for use in the
prosecution. The attorney has been
working on preparation of the case
since Jack Rathie was brought to the
jail Saturday noon. "I am going to
try to send every one of these men
to the gallows," Keator said.
A young man who served In the
same army unit with Rathie told
Keator today that Rathie spent most
of his term of service in the guard
house. His record Includes a few rob
beries, Keator says, but he is tough
enough to mix In bigger crimes
should he face the situation.
After having lost his nerve quite
completely Saturday, Rathie has again
shown signs of stubborness, Keator
said today. A few meals and some
sleep In the county jail has made him
more haughty, although he has not
a nerve of Iron. He, like his confed
erates. Is willing to talk.
"All of them want to place the
blame on any of the other but him
self," Keator said.

Wallace Reid Plays Stellar
Role in "The Roaring Road' '
Most of the automobile race
scenes for the Paramount picture,
"The Roaring Road," which stars
Wallace Reid in the role of a young
"speed devil," were photographed
on the Santa Monica Race course.
For years this famous course has
been the scene of many desperate and
thrilling speed conflicts between some
ot the most noted racing drivers of
the day. Including Captain Eddie
Rickenbacker, the American Ace of
Aces, Teddy Tetzlaff, Barney Oldfield
and other well-known pilots, too nu
merous to mention. The course is
located near Lob Angeles, where
many Paramount and Artcraft pic
tures are produced.
Mr. Reid drove his own car for all
the race scenes In the picture, attain
ing at times a speed of from a hun
dred and one to a hundred and ten
miles per hour. Mr. Reid came out
at the finish without a scratch, thus
provng himsef a master In the art or
driving a racing automobile.
The picture, which will be shown
at the Star theater next Sunday, Is
founded on a series of stories by By
ron Morgan which appeared In the
Saturday Evening Post. James
Cruto, who has directed Wallace Reid
In several recent Paramounts, has
done his best work In producing this
story. The supporting cast includes
such well-known favorites as Ann Lit
tle. Theodore Roberts, Guy Oliver
and C. H. Geldart.

"Sure," replied the clerk.
An instant later an Infinite speck
of anthracite had been transferred
from the tear-laden member to a bit
of absorbant cotton on the end of
a toothpick.
"So that little thing was causing
all the trouble, was It." exclaimed the
relieved sufferer. "Well, how much
do I owe you?"
"That depends," replied the clerk.

you let us keep the coal, we give
you a premium of fifty cents." Am
