Sheriff Donahue has received let
ter from the officials of the Norninia
town where Everett W. Evans form
erly lived, and where his mother still
lives, saying that while Evans resided
there he was arrested for house break
ing and served three years in the
state reformatory. as he was too young
to be sent to the states prison.
When asked by Serifr Donahue, just
before entering the Saltwater pene-
Tertiary, how much he actually stole
from Mrs. Mary Mclaughlin, he re-
piled that it was SLIP, besides the
$500 certificate of deposit If this is
SO, then the whole amount has been
accounted for, as 5000 was found in
the Rochester banks. and the $500
certificate was turned over. This
would leave 1912, which is about the
amount that Evans and wife could
easily spend on their trip to Virginia,
and buying the things that they did.
Evans was put to work in the Irvine
