' THE EVENING STATESMAN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1903. NO TRACE OF PARKER Young Forger is Still at Large. JOE DAY TELLS THE STORY He Did Not Think the Man Would Try to Escape and Went to Sleep. Dp to a late hour this a/ternoon no trace of Forger Parker, who escaped from Detective ioe Day at Umatilla, yesterday, while en route from Hel ena to Portland, had been found. The officers of Umatilla county are scour ing the country for the missing fugi tive. To a reporter for the Portland Tel egram Detective Day had the follow ing to say about tlie escape: "Parker never once hinted that he ivas unwilling to return to Portland, md as 1 found him walking freely tbout the streets of Helena when I got there, 1 thought he did not care to es ape. Then when we reached Spo kane, he walked about with me. had imple opportunity to get away, but lid not attempt to. When I wanted to •o to sleep, therefore, I did not hesi ate. for 1 had no fear of his making a ireak. Therefore 1 retired last night it 9 o'clock. "1 first put Parker to bed. after stripping him and placing the leg-iro - ns >n him. Then I paid tiie porter, who igreed to sit up all night and watch Parker. I went to sleep, and when I .vas called at 7 o'clock this morning was informed that my prisoner had es-! caped. 1 demanded an explanation from tin- porter, a id he said that he went to bed also at 10 o'clock, leaving Parker in his berth. "1 am told by a man named Cohen that he saw Parker on the train a trifle before 3 o'clock this morning, and just before we got to Umatilla. At that place th" train waited more than an hour, and I guess there was where my man sot away. I figure he must have slipped the- irons off his feet, and that he must have had an extra suit of clothes in his grip foi - the purpose of tin escape. I guess he is free to get away, as far as the shack les and c lothing are concerned. 1 think he will either strike off into the coun try, or that he caught the northbound train which passed us at Umatilla. He had sufficient money to take the train for a short distance, and may have done so." Toke point oysters in cans for the family trade at Yarnell & Rogers. A Holiday Smoke.
