THE. MORNING OKEGONIAN. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1906. both sides ley Detectives at Work in Thomp son Murder Trial. VENIREMEN QUESTIONED Defense Is Suspicious of Lou Nelson, of Seattle, and the Prosecution Asks About a Sleuth Xamed Coates. TACOMA, Wash., tee. 7. (Special.) Inquiry as to the use of private detec tives for both state and defense, tes timony that veniremen had been asked concerning the case by strangers since being summoned to court, and open statements by counsel that outside forces were at work for and against the defendant marked the second day of the trial of Chester Thompson for the murder of Judge Emory. The In timations of secret Influences at work were borne out In the queries put in the examination of veniremen for jurors or were made by counsel. Mr. Morris, of Seattle, counsel for the defense, was particularly anxious If any of them knew of a Seattle de tective named Lou Nelson. Friends of the Thompson family say he has been working for the state. C5n the other band. Attorney Harvey, for the state, was anxious to learn if any of them bad an acquaintance or knew by sight "Walter G. Coates, who It is alleged has been performing the same service ac credited to Nelson. Neither side chal lenged. After the state had made Its first peremptory challenge and the defense Its first and Judge Snell had secured a Juror by agreement of counsel, the 18 names on the regular panel were ex hausted and the court ordered another venire of SO names. There are now 11 veniremen passed for cause. The state has five more chal lenges and the defense 11. The high spirit shown by counsel and the deter mination of both sides to fight over every Inch f the way make It improb able that a jury will be selected before Monday evening at the earliest. Judge Snell has impressed upon the attorneys that he Is disposed to give wider latitude to csunsel, veniremen and witnesses In cases where the re sult may mean life or death of the defendant than he would otherwise. Careful consideration is being given every point raised by the attorneys and that Judge Snell's aim is to give the fairest possible jury is evidenced by his action today in discharging on his own motion a venireman who was objection able to both state and defense, thus saving one challenge to each party. The courtroom was filled for the first time today and it became necessary to lock the doors.; During the examina tion of a venireman by Attorney Morris be was asked: "Are you acquainted with Mr. Tommy Vance, private counsel in this' case?" Attorney Vance leaped to his feet and said: 'There is no such person on record In this case. The person to whom he refers is myself. That is not my name and I am not "private counsel- In this case. I entered at the request of the prosecutor of King-County." "I beg the court's pardon,' retorted Attorney Morris. "I always call Mr. Vance Tommy when I meet him, and I forgot myself. I will ask the question, Are you acquainted with Hon. Thomas Vance, of Olympia?' " "That's better," said Vance. The audience laughed and even the Judge was red with merriment.

HE IS IK AND LAZY SLOANE'S PLAYMATES GIVE OPINION OF HIM. Attorney for Defense Makes Another Futile Attempt to Have the Boy Examined by an Expert. SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 7. (Special.) A mass of testimony tending to shatter the defense of insanity was Introduced by the prosecution today in the Sidney Sioane murder trial. Schoolmates and playmates of the defendant, men who worked with Sidney in the mines, rormer employes of the Sloane-Paine Company and business men of Spokane were of one accord in stating that although the detendant was ugly, vicious and lazy, yet his actions were never such as to indicate the youth was not sane. The calling or George Sinclair, a timber locator and formerly engaged on contract work at the Snowstorm mine, where Sidney was employed, caused a clash be tween witness and Attorney Robertson, in which the statement was made that Mr. Sinclair had received the impression in an interview with Mr. Robertson that he could have been used as a witness for the defense providing he could make certain changes in his testimony. Thomas Johnson, convicted of man slaughter and now out on bonds await ing the Supreme Court's action on his appeal, was one of the important wit nesses. Mr. Johnson testified as to Sid ney's actions in the County Jail while he and the defendant were cellmates. Attorney Robertson made another futile effort to have the court grant him per mission to have Sidney examined by an expert to ascertain his sanity. Thomas Johnson was on the stand when Mr. Rob ertson renewed the request, which has been denied several times. "I object to this witness testifying, be cause we have been dendied the privilege of having an expert examine this defend ant," said Mr. Robertson. "I will ask the court at.thls time to order the Sheriff to grant me permission to have a phy sician make a medical examination of the defendant for the purpose of giving us an opportunity to introduce rebuttal testimony." Classmates testified that young Sioane drank heavily while in high school, and that failure in studies was due to dissi pation rather than lack of brains. J. M. Estep, son of a Councilman, testified: "I am here against my will, sum moned by the state. Sidney Sioane was my friend, and I have tried to believe he was Insane, but I have been unable to recall one single in sane act." Many other playmates and class mates testified to the boy's sanity, and showed that dissipation and degener acy were the chief causes of his fail ure in studies. The defendant was really on trial today, father and moth er being left out of the testimony. Charlie Riemer, classmate, testified that Sidney came to the high school repeatedly with bloodshot eyes and breath tainted with liquor, and admit ted he was "out" the night before.

'S one aim SORE Hair All Came Out and He Suffered Very Much Under Doctor Three Months and No Better Perma nently Cured at Expense of $2. CUTICURA REMEDIES WORK WONDERS Mr. A. C. Barnett, proprietor of a general store in Avard, Oklahoma, tells in the following grateful letter how Cuticura cured him and his son of terrible eczemas: "My little boy had eczema. His head was one 6olid sore, all over his scalp; his hair all came out, and he suffered verVjinuch. I had a physician treat him, but at the end of three months he was no better. I remem bered that the Cuticura Remedies had cured me, and after giving him two bottles of Cuticura Kesolvent, according to directions, and using Cuticura Soap and Ointment on him daily, his eczema left him, his hair grew again, and neither he nor myself have had any eczema since. As to his own case, Mr. Barnett says: " I suffered with eczema, a burning, itching, breaking out on my face for more than a year. I took treatment from physicians for several months, which did no good. I was then advised to try Cuticura. I took six bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and used Cuticura Soap and Ointment freely every day. I began to improve soon after starting to use them, and when I had taken the Six bottles of the Resolvent my face had become clear, I had good color, and all erup tions had left me. " We use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment in our family now for general use, and it keeps our skin soft and healthy. I cheerfully recom mend the Cuticura Remedies for all cases of eczema, (signed) A.
