WHERE'S WALKER?
Portland Hotel Entertained Him With
out knowing 1t.

Portland, Ore. Feb. 2S.-The fact
that William F. Walker, the abscond-
ing New Britain, Conn, banker, has
occupied apartments at the Hotel
Portland was unknown to the hotel
people until they were shown the AS
sociated Press report from New York
yesterday. Some three or four days
ago the early arriving employees a the
hotel were questioned by detectives re-
garding a man named Sefert. The
man registered at the hotel late al
night under the name of Sefert and
left early the next morning. It is be-
lieved by the detectives that Walker
came to Puget Sound and for some
reason became afraid to take one of
the trans-Paciffc liners and that he
came to Portland in hopes of leaving
the country from this port. Finding
that no steamer would leave here for
three or four days they think that
Walker either returned north or con-
tinued on to San Francisco.

MONEY IS HIGH.
Japan Is Having Trouble With Her
$125, 900, 900 Loan.

Paris. Feb. 2S.-The question of the
big japanese loan is still undecided. 1t
is learned authoritatively that the sit
uation is substantially as follows:
NJ. Takahashi, the Japanese financial
agent, was sent from London to Paris
to float s125, ,0OO, 900 in four per cents, be-
ing the remainder of the $3.50, ,0O0, 900
loan contemplated at the close Of the
war in 1905 for refunding operations and
of which, for various reasons only one
half was then issued. NJ. Takahasni
found the London financiers to be too
exacting. on account of the money
stringency and not disposed to pay
more than the current quotation of i'm
perial fours. about SS. The Paris and
Brussels bankers were more exacting
and the terms brought forward the
question if it would not be better to
issue fives at par for retiring the skies.
No decision has as yet been reached.
Competent Japanese sources insist that
there has been no check in the negotia-
tions here, but rather the contrary.

No" replied DR.. Evans, "for a man
under those circumstances may love
the woman just as much as though she
were bound to him by holier ties"
Does that letter, taken alone and
entirely separate from everything else

Mr. Jerome.
1t took nearly half an hour and
many questions to secure the wished
for answer. DR.. Evans finally said
that if the letter had been handed to
or any of the circumstances, he would
not be able to form any opinion re-
garding the pathological condition of
the writer.
DR.. Evans was asked to describe the
term pathology of the mind and
spoke for Is minutes, declaring that
generally speaking it was a diseased
condition of the brain. DR.. Evans was

interrupted.

said the district attorney. "go ahead"
DR.. Evans went on at some length
and Mr.. Jerome asked the stenogra phi
er TO read the previous question. In
loud voice the stenographer read:
IF we can get anything short go
ahead
amid general laughter.
The question had to do with what
pathological condition was suggested
by certain of the defendants letters.
DIR. Evans again examined the let
ters closely.
Mr.. jerome then selected a letter
handed it to the witness and asked:
Does that letter, excluding all else.
show that the writer was insane?"
L am of the opinion that he was men,
tally unbalanced when he wrote that
letter"
Was he insane?"
He Was Insane.
1t took a dozen repetitions OF the
question to secure an answer which
satisfied Mr.. Jerome. but DIR. Evans
finally answered in the affirmative.
What is there in that letter that
leads you TO make that conclusion?''
'In the first place a broken up end
of the writing. That is a breaking in
the continuity of thought.
Then there are further indications
in the writing the margins and the
curving at the ends of the lines con-
tinued DR.. Evans. THE underlining on
another page is a very common sign of
mental disorder. None of the things
is in itself of great Importance, but ta-
ken together they lead to my conclus-

Thaw paid little attention to the tes- |

reading letters and chatting with his |
