THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1907. r, ADMIT WILL FORGED Defense Also Says J. W. Young Document Is Spurious. WHO PUT IT IN THE BOX? Jury Must Decide Whether or Xot Mrs. Warner Committed Act That May Send Her to the Penitentiary. PENDLETON. Or., April 4. (Special) PVaderlck Young took the stand this morning In defense of his sister, Mrs. Maybelle Warner, who Is bring tried for the forgery of a will to the estate of their uncle, the late J. W. Young. Fred young w& present at the bank In Wes ton when the alleged will was so mys teriously discovered In the box contain ing the papers of the deceased and the attorneys for the defense undertook to how by Ills testimony that his sister did nt slip the envelope containing the al leged will Into the box when B. B. Hall, the administrator, had his back turned. Hall was the principal witness for the prosecution and when he finished his tes timony this morning, the state rested Its case. It seems to have been pretty clearly es tablished so far that the will thus dis covered is a spurious one, but whether or not the prosecution has demonstrated to the Jury that the document had been in the possession of Mrs. Warner and that she placed It in the box is the question that the 12 men will have to pass upon, arid upon the answer to which will de pend whether or not the woman will be compelled to serve a term in the peniten tiary. Ono of the sensational features of the trial thus far was the admission by Dr. Watts, one of the witnesses for the state, on cross-examination that he had adver tised in the Spokane papers for I O. Kane, a former husband of the defendant, and signed himself "Lady Friend." He aid he wanted Kane to testify against his former wife. For the first time since the trial began, the third alleged will, which was the sec ond to mysteriously put in an appear ance, was brought Into the case yester day afternoon. This document was re ceived by Attorney Charles A. Carter through the mail last July. The docu ment Jiad been mailed at Weston, but contained nothing that would give any clue to the sender. This will was received three or four months after the episode In the Weston bank and was the Imme diate cause of Mrs. Warner's Indictment by the District Attorney. The persons whose names were signed to the last two wills have testified that their signatures were forgeries and sev eral witnesses have testified that the sig nature of J. W. Young was not genuine. Sherman T. Warner, present husband, and L. O. Kain. former husband of Mrs. Warner, both took the stand in her de fense this afternoon, but there was noth ing startling In the testimony of either. Warner merely gave his version of t! a events which took place In the hank at the time of the discovery of the will, which was admitted In court by the attor neys on both sides this afternoon tl be forged, and Kain told of being ap proached by Dr. Watts In Spokane, and Insinuated that the doctor had tried to litre him to swear that his former wife could not be believed under oath. The case will probably not go to the Jury before Saturday morning, as the de fense will not finish with their witnesses before noon tomorrow and It will prob ably require all the afternoon to examine the witnesses on rebuttal.

(Special.) An examination of the records of the students registered at the university by Registrar Tiffany disclosed the fact that out of 200 male students 142 are making all or part of their way through college. Of the co eds there is by no means so large a proportion though a good number con tribute to their college funds by working or teaching during the Summer. That the institution Is thoroughly demo cratic In spirit is indicated by the mem bership of the fraternities. At other universities the aristocrats drift into the fraternities and so distinguish themselves from the regular student. At Oregon, however, the three frater nities are as democratic as the dormitory, and in each of them there axe at least half of the members who are making a part of their way through college. The average expenditure during the year ap proximates to about $300 to $325 and very few students spend $400 or over. Athletics is a prominent feature of the student life, but it is not over done, and the prominent athletes, like Kelly Moores. McKlnney, Zacharias and Hug stand high in studies and student body affairs. On the debating teams, veatch Galloway, Latourette, Bond and Townsend are men of athletic ability who have trained either on the football team or on the track. The religious sentiment at the university Is excellent, over 45 per cent of the mem bership being active members of the Y. M. C. A. and the X. W. C. A. organiza tlons. The debating societies number, all told, about 125 members, while the engineering club lias an enrollment of 60 members. Find No Trace of His Body. PRINEVH.LE. Or..
