Tale of Love and Piracy
Ends In Near Tragedy

Portland, Or, Jan. 26.-A tale Of love
piracy, involving, it is believed, the
marriage of one woman twice within
ten weeks, is being unravelled by auth
critics today while the woman in the
case, Gladys Guy or Gladys Morden, is
in the hospital suffering from a bullet
wound and Clarence Guy is in Jail charg-
ed with assault with intent to kill.
In his cell, Guy states that he shot
in rage after vainly seeking to cause
his wife to return to him after she de-
serted him to live with Ranslaer Nor
den, fellow employe of Guys Nor
den declares he married the girl and the
wounded member of the trio asserts she
is Morden's wife, declaring her mar
riage to Guy illegal; because she used
her stepmother S name instead of fer
own.
The woman in the case is 10 years old
and was formerly Miss Gladys Clark of
Eugene, Oregon. Guy produced proof he
merried her November IS, Morden has
evidence of marrying her January 4.
"She danced, and I didn It, but l did
n t object to her attending dances, and
that g how the trouble started,'' says
Guy. "She met Morden at dances and
left me early this month went to her
house to try to persuade her to return
to me and her refusal threw me into a
rage. shot three times"

Prune Growers Met at
SilVertOn Saturday

The meeting bf the Scdtts mills
and Silverton prune growers at the
First National bank Saturday after
noon, January 10, was attended by
about twenty five men who are vital
lily interested in the raising and mar
keting of the Edifan prune. The meet
ing was full of the keenest interest
and ere it came to a close plans were
outlined whereby it is more than like
ly Silverton will have a prune pack
ing plant, possibly this coming year.
This would mean the. furnishing of
remunerative work for between fifty
and one hundred women and girls dur
ling the packing season at good wages
and pleasant work.
Scots Mills now has a packing
plant but it is argued that by com
bining all the growers of both Scotts
Mills vicinity and those of the Silver
ton vicinity and putting the plant here
the shipping facilities would be I'M
p1oved and the company decidedly
stronger. There is some consideration
upon the old warehouse building near
the station as offering a suitable place
for the plant, although there is nothing
definite about this. The point at issue
now is to formulate a plan for the plac-
ing of the plant which viii meet the
approval of both SCOTS Mills and Sill
verton growers
John C. Goplerud, who is just on
the verge of becoming a bonafide
prune grower, acted as secretary of
the meeting. Mr.. Goplerud has a Nod
healthy orchard which will be in full
bearing in about two years.
A committee composed of Norris
Ames, 1. S. Noe, o. K. Sebo, c. K. Loe,
t. H. Broke, Tom Hansen and Carl
Herigstad were delegated as a com
mittee to meet with the Scots Mills
growers. and ascertain Just what can

forts Of the two places along the hines
above mentioned. A letter has gone for

growers Of prunes in the Scots Mills
district. aud also a large holder OF /
stock in the packing plant at Scots

den fsvors the plan Of bringing the

"Seven-Billings was tried first, un-
doubtedly in the hope that the pressure
Of his conviction would lead him to I'M
plicate Mooney. He was convicted. His
conviction has been sustained. He has
been sentenced to life Imprisonment. He
has not implicated Mooney and he pro-
tests his innocence.
Mooney was tried early in January,
1917 and in February 1917 was convict
ed Of murder in the first degree. Mrs.
Mooney was tried and acquitted. Vein
burg was recently tried and acquitted.
Nolan has never been put to trial.
"Eight-The convictions of Mooney
and Billings followed trials in accord
ance with the established course Of Am
erican procedure. 1t is familiar to stu
j dents of Jurisprudence that no system
of criminal administration in the world
hedges such safeguards around the ac-
cused as an American trial. Conviction,
in other words, is based on evidence
narrowly confined to specific issues.
Furthermore, proof of guilt had to be
established beyond a reasonable doubt
and established to the utmost satisfac-
tion Of a jury of twelve persons select
ed from the people. Conviction by an
American jury is guilt determined by
very democratic institution. There is
no question but that this jury acted in
good faith upon the evidence submitted.
1t is because of the subsequent develop
ments that doubt exists of the justice of
these convictions. Following the trials
of Billings and Mooney there was a
change in the evidence, which not only
resulted in the acquittal of Mrs. Moon
ey and Weinburg but also cast doubt
upon the prior convictions of Billings
and Mooney.
" "Nine-rhus it is that evidence sub
mitted on four trials, taken together,
aimed as it was at the establishment of
a single issue-their joint participation
in the crime-leaves the mind in the
greatest uncertainty as to the completely
of the accused. While each record in
itself presents evidence which would
justify the appellate court in sustaining
the verdict of the jury, the evidence
Of the four cases in their entirety must
shake credence in the justice of the
convictions This is due to the dubious
character of the witnesses, subsequent
revelations concerning them and conflict

yesterday lifted a voice from the
Tombs, where he is held charged with
obtaining money under false pretences.
to announce that he has worked out a
formula whereby he can make a gaso-
lene substitute for 21a cents a gallon.
Furthermore, DR.. Clement is going to
submit his discovery to public test
before chemists os this city. Arrange
ments for this experiment were yester-
day sanctioned by Assistant District
Attorney Alfred j. Tally. who finally
succumbed to the pleading of the pris-
oner's counsel, William d. Bosler, of

Dr.. Clement has agreed to let Mr..
Talley select whichever laboratory he
pleases, and invite any reputable chem
lists to witness his tests. These will
probably be held in the Central Testing
Laboratories in Worth Street.
