Perkins II he remembered an interview

Perkins did not recall having given
such an interview, but he said he had
talked consistently to newspaper men
during that period.
Mr.. Beall asked II he had ever talked
to Melville E. Stone. general manager
OF the Associated Press. about that In

to justify the interview by explaining
that unless interest was centered up

seemingly did not not interfere with

On the evening of that day she told
her mother.

Mrs. Shinback's testimony was
cogroborative of the girls story.
She narrated how she came home on

The feature of, the afternoon was
the testimony of Professor Yoder
and Trustee Hertzel of the school
board.
Professor Yoder while admitting
that the Shinback girl had come to
his room upon several occasions
stated that it was of her own volition
and denied that he had taken any
liberties with her and that at each
time her school work was the sub
ject of discussion. The room was a
public one, he testified, and any one
had an opportunity to enter it,
and at no time while he was there
with any one was 1t locked.
He charged Miss Moon and Miss
Joseph and other teachers with re-
bellion against his method of teach
ing and with trying to oust him
from the school. He flashed lot OF
recommendations on the court and
they were turned over to 1t for its
perusal.
| The Shinback girl was deficient in
her work, he said, and had COM
planned to him about Miss Moon.

board had never Investigated the af-

elected for the year, tn election took

paid no attention to rumors.

FAMOUS OLD STORY.
CONTINUED rom page ~

George Sontag remained with the
train and rode into town, where
somebody tipped the sheriff and the
arrest was made.
Killed Many Officers.
When a deputy sheriff went to ar
rest Evans at the bandits home both
opened fire. The deputy was Sc
verely wounded, and Evans took to
the mountains, where he was Joined
by John Sontag. For nine months
posses pursued them through the ST.
erras, and time and again the bandits
fought their way through to, free-
dom. Finally. they were located in
cabin near Dunlap, and when the
posse arrived Evans and Sontag
threw open the d0or and opened fire.
Two noted Arizona trailers were
killed at the first yolley and a dep
uty sheriff was wounded, and a fourth
man was pinned under his dead
horse.
Then, still under fire, the outlaws
started up the mountain and escaped.
They camped that night in cabin
three miles away. Forseeing that
the outlaws would eventually pass
place known as the "stone corral, /"
in the Tulare foothills, a strong am
bush was planted there. When the
battle came Evans and Sontag took
refuge in a haystack All night long
their rifles barked defiance to the
! trailers. In the morning the posse
drew off and went for reinforce
ments, but Sontag was dying and
Evans had one eye shot out and Nne
arm and leg broken. Then Evans
crawled to a neighboring house and
told the occupant to give him up and
get the reward.
Killed Guard and Escaped.
Evans was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, but, after few years, he
and a prisoner named Morrell OBJ
tained weapons and made a break for
liberty. One guard was killed and
another wounded, and the two con-
victs gained the mountains. For sew
eral months they defed all pursuit,
Finally Evans was captured, after be-
ing led into trap by report that
his daughter was dying and that his
presence was imperative If he wished
to see her alive.
From the day of his final return to
Folsom prison, the, daughter, for love
of whom he lost his freedom, has
never ceased to work for his pardon,
Governor after governor has been be-
sieged with appeals, and governor af-
ter governor has declined to free the
outlaw. OF late years Evans health
has failed rapidly under the unwont-
ed confinement. Only the granting by
Governor Johnson of the daughters
plea, has, it is believed, saved him
from death behind the bars. But the
old bandits health is shattered, and
all he asks is a chance to admit final
defeat in the unequal Struggle, and
to end his days in peace somewhere
near the land his rifle once spoke tc
keep from the grip of "the octopus"
