THE MORNING ORECOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY. 19, 1908. I TELLS HIS STORY Ofl STAND Gives Version of. Encounter With Mrs. Waymire in Private Office. CASE TO LAST ALL WEEK Hungry Mob Crowds Courtroom and JEagerly Hears t'ross-lixamina-tion of Iie Mayor," Which . Will Be Continued 'xoday. Rapid prosress was made yesterday In the trial 'of Mrs. Belle Waymire and K. K. Raddlng. charged 'With plotting to blaeken the character oT Mayor Harry Kane.' The openins? statements were over by noon and then the hear InR of testimony. was taken np. Mayor Kane oecupyinff - nearly all the after noon with direct examination. Mayor Lane repeated his former ver sions of the attack made on him in his medical office by. Mrs. Waymire and of her method of fretting into his Rood tuvor. Although he was uncer tain In regard to many lesser details of what occurred durlnp his several meetings with the woman, the Mayor's impression on the jury was plainly a strong one and he was given the clos est and mot respectful attention throughout. 1 Many to Take Stand. Although the trial has not dragged thus far, it is no'w plain that all week, at least, will be required in getting the ease before the jury. Counsel for both sides arc feeling tlfelr way with the utmost caution and the cross-examination on oth sides will be exhaus tive. Mayor Lane was under cross-examination when court adjourned yes terday and the Waymlre-Kadding at torneys will spend at least another hour with the Mayor this morning. His cross-examination may even continue throughout the forenoon, as Attorney Logan did not seem to have gotten more than started after 60 minutes of rapid-tire work. That Mrs. Waymire and Kadding will both be placed on tile stand was stated yesterday by their attorneys. In fact, it is Mrs. Waymire's appearance on the stand wherein the, greatest hope, of acquittal is held. In interviews and during her preliminary examination, her story was remarkably graphic, con vincing and ingenuous in detail. Not once has she contradicted herself, even before the onslaught of skillful cross examiners who ought without success to entrap her In many a cleverly-set trap. The- woman's story. Rad,dings, and the testimony of a half score of minor witnesses will consume several days, and the state will need at least another day. Allowing a day for argu ments, the case may go to the jury by Saturday. Attendance yesterday was overwhelm ing. Twice the force of Deputy Sheriffs In attendance at. the court had to beat hack, the seandaJ-hungry throng which surged about the door, obstructing that aperature so that interested parties could get neither in nor out. Ljke hungry flies the curious, eager horde clung tenaciously about the eorridors, awaiting some chance opportunity of .slipping Inside. Crane Xccks to Hear. On the inside of the courtroom every seat, every aisle, every possible inch of ftoorEpace waa monopolized by a craning mob. which stood Inert and stolid while some point of law was being arfeued, only to be fanned into eager interest by some suggestive bit of evidence. It waa a scandal-hungry horde, open-mouthed and sa lacious, lor the most part. Several times the words of a witness were lost in a round of vulgar mirth aroused by the testimony. Twice Circuit Judge Ganten beln had to threaten to clear the courtroom.- And In the midst of this precious throng there was one woman, a neatly gowned person of 30 or thereabouts, who sat in the third row and drank in the testimony with ravenous interest. I'ourt opened at 9:30 A. M. with every bit of the courtroom filled. Some of those present had been waiting fully an hour. As soon as the jury was in place Dan J. Malarkey arose as Special Prosecutor to present the opening statement on be half of the State. He spent an hour and 15 minutes telling what the prosecution would seek to show. He said the evi dence at hand would reveal that the af fair was nothing more than a plot to blacken the reputation o Mayor Lane. He went over the Mayor's various meet ings with the woman, the struggle and scene in the Hamilton block, and all. de tails of the affair. The tiling was plainly a plot against the Mayor, in which four conspirators were engaged, Malarkey said. The four were Mrs. Waymire, Rad cHng. a pawnbroker named Mendelay and a man hired In a jewelry store of the name of Bell. Bell is Mrs. Waymire's avowed sweetheart, or was at the time of the trouble. It would be shown, he added, that Raddlng approached T. C. Devlin and Councilman Wills, political enemies of Lane's, with an offer to en trap the Mayor In his office with a woman. Attorney McGarry occupied another hour or more In outlining the attitude of the defense. It was a case of lovemaking, lie said, lovemaking which had over reached the bounds of propriety. He thought the Mayor's unusual interest In a strange though attractive woman, his receiving her in a private office and his other conduct would demonstrate, when developed by the evidence, that the Mayor alone was the offending party. The first witness called was M. G. Clark, who drew a detailed diagram of Mayor's rooms at the Hamilton block. He testitled as to the arrangement of the rooms and the accuracy of his map. Tr. C. S. White, who occupies the rooms jointly with Mayor I-ane. was next called by the slate. He said the Mayor was in tho habit of calling at the office at noon, and of returning at 5:30 P. M., to attend to his small practice. He also went Into details as to the arrangement of the room and as to Mayor Lane's ap pearance after the tussle with Mrs. Way mire. The testimony of this witness had no Important bearing on the case. He was briefly cross-examined. "How many buttons were torn off .his shirt?'" asked Attorney Logan very sud denly, and there was a respondent cran ing of necks and murmur of satisfaction and expectation from the gaping section of spectators. "Two. I think." was the reply. The subject was pursued no further, and the mob sank back into stolidity. Mayor Lane Is Called. A moment later the courtroom was all agape aguin when the name of Mayor l.ano was called as the next witness. Someone out near the door nearly got into a fight with someone else over two inches or fo of standing-place at this Juncture. Deputy Sheriff Bulger pre vented trouble and then cleared away tho overflow once more, and shut the courtroom dours. The Ala) or went on the witness-stand at 3:20 P. M., and was kept until 5, the last 50 minutes1 of the time being given to cross-examination. He described the furnishings and appointments and then, at District Attorney Manning's sugges tion, proceeded to tell. In his own way, the story of his experiences with Mrs. Waymire. - , "The woman came to jny office at the City Hall," began Mayor Lane, address ing himself to the Jury. "She introduced herself as Mrs. .Waymire, of Missouri, and said she had been in trouble with, her husband. She said1 they had a child, which was in the custody of her hus band's people, and expressed a wish to bring the child out here. She wanted to know ho"W I could help her. I told her she had better see a lawyer, and also referred her to Mrs. Baldwin and Mrs. Trumbull, who are interested in charit able work. She said she didn't care to take the matter up with those people, as she didn't want her troubles to be known to any more people than she could help. I thought little of the mat ter. Many people call on errands of that kind. They call at my office, and follow me home, and there are hundreds of them. I have " t "I object to all this talk as to your policies and thinks like that," interposed Mr. McGarry. "Confine yourself to this case." Asks Lane for Advice.- "All right. Well, she had a plan for kidnaping the child and wanted to know if I thought the Juvenile Court would take the child away from her if she got it. I said the courts were usually con siderate of mothers in such cases. She called again, and this time seemed un decided about the child, and said she didn't know but that it would be best to leave it with the grandmother. She said she was working at the Hazeiwood Res taurant, and was only making J8 a week. "It was quite a while before I saw her again. Her first call was some time In July and along In August she came to say she had decided to get her child. In a few days she would receive money from her mother with which to go back and she wanted to know if I would give her a letter of general references. I said yes and told her to speak to my stenog rapher about it. She did this. Later when she telephoned about the letter, I found the name had been spelled wrong and said the letter would have to be re written, as I did not want a mistake like that to go out." Coming down to tbe night of the trouble, late in September, Maor Lane said he reached his private office at 5:30 o'clock and wss in a hurry. to leave, being tired out from overwork and attendance at late meetings. Only the night before he had been up until 1 o'clock with a meeting of the Kast Side Improvement Club. Thought She Was Crazy. .''When she called I was in a hurry to go and tried to get rid of her without being rude," the Mayor continued. "After a short conversation I got up from my desk. She ,then came close to me and caught hold of me. She began a low moaning sound, then her voice raised and she grabbed hold of me and began tearing at my clothing and screaming at the top of her voice.' "I asked her if she was crazy and then I saw she was not insane and under stood there was premeditation about it. She was screaming and tearing at me like a wildcat. 1 caught' hold of her wrist and tried to free myself and demanded that she let go of me. Her screaming was violent by this time. Someone broke in the glass in the door and pulled the curtain aside and then she let go of me.. As soon as tho door was open she started to leave. 'The old brute, the old brute, ile tried to force . me.' she said." Mr. Manning then introduced in evidence the letter written by the Mayor for Mrs. Waymire. It bore a misspelled name ami read: To Whom it May Concern: Th! is to certify that the bearer. Mrs. Belle Way mir, is a very estimable lady and a resi dent of this city. Any courtesies extended to her will be appreciated by me." After other details of the struggle In question bad been told of. the witness was turned over for cross-examination. Mr. lxigan went into Mrs. Waymire's earlier visits minutely. "Now about that letter, was it neces sary to have her call so often for It couldn't you have mailed that as well as not?"he asked. Asks About Pet Names. "Well, yes, but the name was wrong and I was waiting to see whether she got the mpney from her mother to go Kast on." . '.'Isn't it a fact that you called her nice names, dearie and baby and girlie?" . "No, not her or any other woman," protested the Mayor, trying hard not to Join in the roar of laughter, but falling. "Did you call her 'my child' ?"- "Well. I may have. I call many wom en that." "Mostly young women?" ''Yes, ind old women too. The same as I sometimes call old men 'sonny'." "Is it true that, as she has said, you tried to fondle this little woman?" per sisted the lawyer, pointing gravely at Mrs. Waymire, who was seated directly be hind him. Denies Attempt . at Intimacy. "It most certainly is not true." said Mayor Lane with emphasis. "After my experience with that woman I would not be in tho least surprised at anything she might say or do." "Now about your muscles; didn't you show her your muscles?" "I may have called attention to my lack of muscles but nothing more. I have been all run down since going Into office and "' "Didn't you tell her how you and your brother used to do 'em all up?" "Oh. no. nonsense, nothing of the sort." Taking up the subject of the encounter, Mr. Logan asked about the details of that episode. "Instead of asking her if she was crazy when she began screaming, didn't you say 'Baby, baby, what on earth are you doing?' Now Isn't that a fact?" There was another demonstration from the audience at this and after the court had restored order and threatened to de bar the public, adjournment ' was takeai until today at 9:30 A. M. Roy Summers Is Convicted. Roy Sommers was found guilty of ibur glarizing Dr. J. W. Morrow's home by a Jury in Judge Bronaugh's department of the Circuit Court yesterday. Sommers strenuously denied the charge, but the jury did not see fit to believe his testi mony as his accomplice, J. Redman, had minutely described the crime, which was committed January 14. The Morrow resi dence is at 3B0 San Rafael street. Jewelry to the value of $75 was stolen. Will Be Tried at Helena.

Mr. McCord had held the position of secretary for two years, but found that his private business re quired too. much of his attention to allow him to accept another trem.

Reputed Best In New England League Calif f, Mott and Moore ..Go to Aberdeen. Frank Madden, ex-catcher of the Lynn, Mass., club, will be the main stay back of the bat for the Portland baseball team during the coming sea son. 'This experienced catcher has been secured by Manager McCredie, in stead of Ostdieck, for the latter has been retained by the Boston American League team because tho other bis leaguers refused to give waivers. Mad den was turned over to McCredie in stead. Madden was the best catcher in the New England League and Boston was unwilling to part with him, but owing to lt inability to otherwise live up to its contract the club was compelled to do so. Madden Is the catcher promised in the deal for Donohue and McHale, and will report at Santa Barbara with the rest of tho Portland players' In March. Manager McCredie lias decided to do his preliminary work at Santa Bar bara and all the Portland players will be ordered to report there. , The deal for the training quarters at the- Cali fornia coast resort was closed yester day by the McCredies. ' Ennon Califf, Anson Mott and Char lie Moore, all members of the Port land team, have been sold to the Aber deen team of the Northwestern League by the management of the Portland team and will have to report to that club in order to play ball during the coming season. Mott and Callff are good men, but the Indifferent manner Jn which they conducted themselves for Portland last season caused them to become unpopular and they were not figured on as members of the regular team for the coming season. In Moore's case the situation is dif ferent. This player refused to sign with McCredie last season because the Portland manager did not offer him enough money and held out all year. Moore is a fine player and If Aberdeen gets him that club will have a 'most welcome addition to its- aggregation. Manager McCredie has also received notice that First Baseman Danzig has been ordered . to report to Portland for the coming season, and with that player and Kennedy as possibilities for the position the Portland manager seems well provided. - " Chit-Chat of Sporting World HI WILL.
