CONFIRMS .NOMINATION.
MEDFORD, Ore., Mar. 22, (Spec
ial to tho Herald.) Lark N. Evans,
accused ot kidnapping and robbjnc
Judd Whlto, Jitney driver, at Q rants
Pass September 13, last, was found
guilty by a Jury In, tho circuit court
Saturday evening. He was releaad
on $1000 ball, tarnished by his fath
er, to await sente'nw," which was fixed,
for tomorrow. The case attracted
much interest in this city and county
and was one of tho hardest fought
legal contests in the history ot Jack
son county.
Evans Is well known throughout
the state. He Is an auto mechanic
and was working In a Klamath Falls
garage at tho time of his arrest by
the police there on request of the
local authorities.
White identified Evans as the man
who hired him to drive him to a
lonely place in the hills near Jack
sonville, nobbed him, then bound
him hand and foot, gagged him, and
left him lying In a prospect hole.
A note written to a women, in
which he admitted his guilt and ur
ged her to answer no questions, was
also a strong link in the chain of
evidence. The note had been ton
to fine bits but was pieced together
by the prosecution and made an ex
hibit in the case. .
The jury had to deal; with macti
strong alibi evidence introduced fcy
the defense.
W. G. White. Chief xof Police Mc
Lane, Andrew Shade, Harry Cougle
and a Mr. Barker, all of Grants Pass,
positively identified Evans as the
man who, accompanied by awomaa,
employed White at G rants Pss
about 5 p. m. Sept 13. to drive them,
out in his auto a short distance from
that city, and then when outside the
city placed a revolver at 'White's.
back and compelled him to drive la
a roundabout way to a lontiy roa'd'
near Jacksonville, where they rob
bed him, left him apparently help
less on the ground, and drove away
In his car. Later White worked
loose from his bonds and made his
way to Jacksonville and gave the
alarm.
Evans' arrest followed some time
later at Klamath Falls where he- and
his wife had located and where he
was employed in a garage.
On the other hand tho witnesses
for tho defense testified that Evans,
who had been an employe in Hines 4b
Snyder company's garage In Med
ford, was at work in the- garage that
afternoon and the time sheets and
records of the company showed this.
Mr. Snyder and Bookkeeper Curry
wore among the garage witnesses,
and Master Mechanic Hooker testi
fied that ho had personally seen and
talked with Evans in the-;garage late
that afternoon.
This alibi was reinforced by C. P.
Krlbs of tho grocery firm, of C. P.
Krlbs & company, who positively tes
tified that late that afternoon Evans
had been in his grocery and made' a
large purchase of grocory supplies".
